The underlined part means_.(2013-80)（分数：2.00）A.brightlyB.light-heartedlyC.cheerfullyD.lightly解析：解析：首先把gaily变成形容词gay，很多考生第一感觉是

24、“同性恋的”，但此处显然不对。其实gay还可表示“欢乐的，愉快的”，即happy，cheerful，light-hearted，但此处同样不合适。那只剩选项A和D了。brightly指“(颜色)鲜亮地，明亮地”，lightly则表示“轻轻地，轻微地，心情愉快地”，显然只有A最为恰当。句意为“这对夫妻告诉装修人员，他们希望卧室油漆颜色涂得鲜艳点。”10.Our school library is_closed for repairs.(2011 -68)（分数：2.00）A.shortlyB.quicklyC.rapidlyD.temporarily解析：解析：temporarily表示“暂时地
