Answer 1

答案：C;D;B;B;A;B;D;C;A;B;B;A;C;D;C
解析：

（1）enjoy themselves表示“（他們）玩得開心”。 （2）take part in意指“參加（某項活動）”。 （3）句意為“這件事取決于他們自己的愛好”。 （4）free time指“空閑時間”。 （5）句意指“幾乎每個人都有業余愛好”。 （6）from...to...意指“從……到……”，是介詞短語，后面接動詞時要加ing。 （7）由后句可知，本句表達“有些愛好（要花）很多錢（昂貴）”。 （8）a lot of money指“許多錢”。 （9）thousand后面接名詞時，thousand不加s。 （10）cost“花費”，主語為某物。當主語是人，用動詞pay或spend。 （11）句意為“我想知道他們是否值錢”。if表示“是否”。 （12）to在此句中表示“對于（某人）……”。 （13）前半句意“沒有任何東西使他感到開心……”。 （14）like to do意指“喜歡做……”。 （15）the fun of...指“……的樂趣”。
