Dthrilled解析：选A。句意：当我以一种奇怪的声调唱一首流行歌曲时，同学们大笑起来，这使得我感到窘迫。embarrassed表示“人感到窘迫的”，因此选A项。excited“兴奋的”；moved“感动的”；thrilled“兴奋的”。B、C、D项都与laugh at无关。2As a staff, you should focus your attention _ your work.Aon

DWhere解析：选B。考查主语从句的引导词。句意：我们明天能否去露营要看天气了。depends on作谓语，前面应该是主语从句，该从句中不缺成分，但缺少表示“是否”意思的词，所以应用whether，该词是从属连词，在句中不作成分，表“是否”。if 不能引导主语从句；that引导主语从句时，不作任何成分，也没有意义；where在从句中作状语。7Our holiday cost a lot of money.Did it？Well, that doesnt matter _ you enjoyed yourselves.Aas long as BunlessCas soon as Dthough解析：选A。as long as“只要”；unless“除非”；as soon as“一就”；though“尽管”。根据句意可知答案选A。8Please keep your seatbelts _
