Once there was a girl called Arachne who was very proud of her skill at weaving.

First she 26 herself as an old woman and 27 Arachne’s door. When she opened it, the goddess warned her, “You shouldn’t compare yourself with the great Athene. You should be more 28 .” At that Arachne grew very angry. “ Let her come here and have a 29 with me. Then we’ll see who’s better at weaving! ” 30 Athene threw off her disguise and the contest began.
All day the two contestants wove bright 31 into marvellous pictures. Arachne’s was definitely 32 in skill and design. At that Athene grew 33 angry that she hit Archne.

Every fast-food employee knows that the drive-through window is the worst position. The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of engines hurts your 21 ; your words are lost in the howling wind. On a 22 afternoon, everything changed.
Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal a 23 windows shut. Drivers don’t exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold, 24 their orders into a speaker box, when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats. In such cases, most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees. This woman was 25 .
“I’ll get the next car’s 26 as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay. She stood outside, 27 much snow on her hair. Though she was obviously freezing, her bright 28 lit up her face like a fire.
“You can’t 29 their drinks,” I said, confused and tired. “No, but I’ll buy them,” she said. “Pay it forward and all that.” Completely puzzled, I charged her as 30 , and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just happened. I watched as his 31 changed — first angry to be out in the cold, then 32 at the random act of kindness, and finally, delighted by his 33 .
“I suppose I’ll pay for the next order then,” he replied, nodding and waving at the impatient driver 34 him. He 35 over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.
The trend continued. Customers arrived annoyed, only to leave 36 and pleased. Some were shocked to spend much more than they had expected, 37 others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.
Five vehicles passed, then ten, then twenty. No one refused to pay. Customers stood at my window 38 a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger. Cars drove off, honking (鸣笛) and 39 their thanks.

In a voice that was 37 and hesitating young Laiq replied, “Because I already have one 38 in my bag.”

Passage 6
Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative (保守) person who is 21 only among those with whom he is familiar. When a stranger is present, he often seems nervous, 22 embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train (通勤车) any morning or evening to 23 the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or 24 off in a corner; hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite offensive (冒犯的).
25 , there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, once 26 , makes the offender immediately the object of 27 .
One of the few things we can say about the British with certainty is that a British takes a(n) 28 to the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it 29 . Some people argue that it is because the British weather 30 follows forecast and thus becomes a source of interest to everyone. This may be so. Certainly a British cannot have much 31 in the weathermen, whose predictions, in many cases, 32 to be wrong! The man in the street seems to be as accurate – or as inaccurate – as the weathermen in his 33 . Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references 34 weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are 35 by comments on the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it?” “Beautiful day!” may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?” 36 the foreigner may consider this exaggerated (夸大) and comic,
it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his 37 . If he wants to start a conversation with a British but is 38 to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a(n) 39 subject to which a response may well be 40 of even the most reserved of the British. 21. A. relaxed 22. A. yet
B. frustrated C. amused D. exhausted
D. so
B. otherwise C. even
23. A. experience 24. A. whispering 25. A. Hopefully 26. A. developed 27. A. doubt 28. A. emotion
B. witness C. watch D. undertake B. murmuring
C. nodding D. laughing
B. Exactly C. Frequently D. Obviously B. observed
C. followed D. broken C. criticism D. praise
B. argument B. fancy
C. likeliness D. judgment
29. A. at length 30. A. always 31. A. faith 32. A. put out

C. constantly D. seldom
B. often
B. relief C. honor D. credit B. make out

Passage 7
My wife and I moved into our home two years ago. We had a yard with a lot of 21 ．Very often when we have flowers, Denise or I would plant some between the rocks, just to add some 22 to the area．
Last summer, I found a tiny little 23 in the yard that I could not immediately identify. I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise said she didn’t either. We decided to let it 24 growing until we could find out what it was. Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the 25 plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. I decided to 26 the weeds around it. As I pulled rocks from
the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something 27 . The sunflower had not 28 where I saw it begin. It actually had begun under a big 29 and grown under and around it to reach the 30 ．
That’s when I 31 that if a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its 32 of developing, we too have the ability of doing the same thing. If we 33 ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach where we 34 to go and get what we need for growth．
We need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the 35 to achieve our goals. Like the 36 , it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had 37 in itself that it would succeed. Stand tall like the sunflower and be 38 who and what we are, then the environment will begin to 39 us. We will find a way to go under or 40 any “rocks”in order to reach our goals． 21.A. flowers B. insects C. rocks 22.A. color B. water
