26、 in Depth)(25minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank

27、is identified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.

39、f behavior. What was unusual was that the roles were the opposite of what we have come to expect.
