【2】A

【3】D

【4】E

【解析】

本篇文章難度適中，主要講述我是研究語言的，我有一個有趣的故事，當(dāng)我和朋友說我要錄他們的說話來做研究時(shí)，他們說話都不自然，然而當(dāng)我把錄音機(jī)關(guān)掉時(shí)，他們開始很放松地說話。

【1】句意“這里有一個關(guān)于我的研究工作的有趣的故事”。根據(jù)My job is to study languages以及下文可知，表示“我的研究工作”，故選C。

【2】句意“當(dāng)他們看到在每一個椅子前的麥克風(fēng)以及地板中間的錄音機(jī)時(shí)，他們非常緊張地坐在那”。根據(jù)句意可知，空處修飾副詞nervously，所以用副詞，rather十分，相當(dāng)，故選A。

【3】句意“我解釋說，對于他們來說只是一個小任務(wù)”。根據(jù)That was to count from one to twenty可知，只要從1數(shù)到20，所以是一個小任務(wù)，故選D。

【4】句意“晚上剩余的時(shí)間我們過得完全很放松”。根據(jù)句意可知，我關(guān)掉了錄音機(jī)，所以我們剩下的時(shí)光過得完全很放松。completely完全地，故選E。
