27、道他要什么。第33題單選 填入(33)處的最佳答案是()。A. unitedB. relatedC. contactedD. associated參考答案：D參考解析：united意為“一致的，統(tǒng)一的”;related意為“有關系的”;contact with意為“ 與聯(lián)系/接觸”;associate with意為“與相聯(lián)系”，根據(jù)原文，一旦臉紅與尷尬聯(lián)系在一起，第34題單選 填入(34)處的最佳答案是()。A. moreB. thatC. lessD. so參考答案：C第35題單選 填入(35)處的最佳答案是()。A. ashamedB. disappointedC. satisfiedD.
