satisfied满意的；silent沉默的；strange奇怪的；serious认真的。根据At first, Rhonda Tormaschy thought her 16-year-old daughter, Cassidy, was joking about opening up an ice cream truck，可知，刚开始朗达以为要做一辆冰淇凌卡车的想法不是认真的，是在开玩笑，所以空格处填serious。故选D。

pushing for奋力争取；looking for寻找；paying for支付；asking for要求。根据they found an old school bus，可知，查德开始寻找某种类型的卡车，所以空格处填looking for。故答案为B。

3.

them他们；her她；us我们；it它。根据In order to turn the small, old school bus into an ice cream truck，可知，此空是指代ice cream truck，且transform是动词，后接人称代词宾格作宾语，所以空格处填it。故选D。

faster更快；cooler更酷；darker更黑；brighter更亮，更愉快。根据The community needed something to lighten up their day，可知，需要东西点亮的目的是让一天变得更加愉快，所以空格处填brighter。故选D。

8.
