原文+答案解析

034.
A young man, who earned his living as a drummer in a band, had just married. He and his wife moved into a second-floor apartment--not too low and not too high. After they had bought furniture, carpets, curtains, and all the rest, they gave a big party to celebrate the setting up of their first home.
It was a gay and noisy party, as all the host's friends from the band came and played their instruments. The guests danced, sang and practiced on their host's drums.
Soon after one a.m., the telephone rang. The hostess went to answer it in the hall, and after she had finished, she came back with a happy smile on her face and said to her husband, "That was the man who had just moved into the flat downstairs telephoning, dear. I'm so glad we decided not to choose it. He says it is terribly noisy down there."

答案解析：
(1) 正确答案为A。根据they gave a big party to celebrate the setting up of their first home. 他们举办了一个盛大的派对，庆祝拥有了自己的第一座房子。可知，这对年轻夫妻举办派对是为了庆祝拥有了第一个房子，因此A项正确。
(2) 正确答案为。根据as all the host's friends from the band came 男主从乐队的所有朋友都来了。可知，派对的宾客是男子乐队的所有朋友，因此C项正确。
(3) 正确答案为C。根据after she had finished, she came back with a happy smile 她接完电话后，笑着回来了。从文中可知，楼下电话打来抱怨他们太吵了，可是女主人并未明白，还很庆幸自己没有选楼下吵闹的房子，因此可知，女主人并未明白楼下打电话的用意，因此C项正确。
