解析

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是在一些学校里有一个奇怪的传统，就是学生们玩恶作剧。这些恶作剧不会给人们带来伤害，只会让人们开怀大笑。文章中给我们介绍了两个发生在学校里的恶作剧。
小题1:句意：一些学校和大学里，学生们搞恶作剧有着很长的传统。tradition 名词，传统。这里是说在学校里搞恶作剧有很长的历史，这在一些学校里是一个传统。
小题2:句意：在美国的加利福尼亚理工学院有一个特殊的日子，在这一天可以允许学生们玩大的恶作剧。be allowed to do sth. 被允许去做某事。这里学生和allow 构成被动的关系。
小题3:句意：在美国一所中学，一个安静的晚上，校长要开车回家，他做到汽车里，发动汽车，很奇怪车轮转动起来，但是车却不走。根据文意可知，校长想开车回家，但是他发动了汽车后，汽车却不往前走，所以这让他感到很奇怪。strange 奇怪的。
小题4:句意：原来学生们想了一个办法把汽车抬高了，汽车的轮胎在地面以上，所以汽车就走不了了。turn out 结果是，原来是。turn over 翻阅，移交。根据句意可知填turned out。
