83、er said thered been a power failure at America west Arena可以推断出，这次比赛推迟极有可能是因为闪电击中了球场的某个设备造成了停电，故选B。27、词义猜测题。根据最后一段的Thank heaven, he hadnt missed a thing.

Most Americans do not know of the fru

86、it，although it is native to the United States. Once，however，it was one of the most popular fruits in North America.“如果你从来没有听说过木瓜,你并不孤单。大多数美国人都不知道这种水果,虽然它原产于美国。然而,曾经它是北美最受欢迎的水果之一。”可知，本文主题是“一种被遗忘的美国水果再次流行起来。”故选A。听力原文:(Text 1)M: Honey, what do you think of this kind of wooden chair for our restaurant?W
