【回答】

1.B

【解析】文章开头在讲过去呼啦圈很流行，结合上下文可知fad是一时流行的狂热，故*选B最合适。

2.C

【解析】句子的意思是什么东西很快变得很流行起来，但是只能盛极一时。把所给的几个不定代词放进句子里，只有something可以讲通，故选择C。

3.从句子的意思“当这些东西不再酷的时候，所有的狂热都将消失殆尽”可以判断只有D是符合的。

4.B

【解析】通过破折号可以判断填的词和fashion的意思是比较接近的，故选B。

5.A

6.C

【解析】从句意可以判断Rubik’s Cube这个东西是他发明的，所以选C。

7.D

【解析】从一般的常识就可以判断正确*是D，因为一般的魔方每一面的颜*都是不一样的。

8.A

【解析】通过but这个词可以判断这里是一个比较大的转折，BCD放进句子里体现不出这种感觉，只有突然可以很好的表达这样一个意思，故选A。

9.B

【解析】通过前面“It took a few years for the toy tobecome popular”可以判断这里人们购买的东西是玩具。故*选B。

10.A

【解析】通过前半句一下子变成一种风尚开始流行，后半句比前半句的意思要更进一步，故选择A蔓延。

11.A

【解析】通过句意很容易就能判断因为人们家里已经购买了很多类似的东西，所以不会对Rubik的魔方感兴趣，所以*选A。

12.D

【解析】通过上一句可以判断这句话是说骑马舞的点击量迅速超过20亿次，所以*选D。

13.B

【解析】根据上文Psy跳骑马舞可以判断这里选B最符合上下文的意思。

14.B

【解析】通过句意可以判断这里用尝试最合适。

15.C
