Once there was an （76）argument between the colors．Each color thought it was the best and most important．So each color looked down upon others．Here are their debates．
Green said："Clearly I am the most important．I am the（77）symbol of life and hope．I'm the color of grass，trees and leaves．（78）Without me，all animals would die．"
Yellow laughed："I bring happiness and warmth into the world．Every time people look at a yellow sunflower，they start to smile．Without me there（79）would be no fun．"
Orange shouted："I am the color of （80）health and strength．I have the most important vitamins （维生素）．Think of carrots，（81）vegetables and oranges．When I appear in t he sky，everyone is shocked at my beauty and nobody gives another thought to any of you．"
Red could no （82）longer stand it，"I am the color of danger and bravery．I am willing to fight for a cause．I bring fire into the blood．"
Their voices （83）became louder and louder．The thunder（雷） got angry and the rain started to pour．When they became calm，the rain said，"You foolish colors．Don't you know that each of you is unique （独一无二）？If you don't agree，just follow me．"They did as the rain told （84）themand together made the most （85）beautifulrainbow （彩虹）．

Answer 1

分析 颜色们都认为自己最重要．绿色、黄色、红色都争先恐后地表明自己的重要性．但是大雨告诉他们，他们每一个都是独一无二的．只有在一起才是最亮丽的风景．雨后彩虹惊艳亮相．

解答 1：symbol；因为后面说他们每个都认为自己是最好的最重要的．他们瞧不起其它的颜色．这是他们的争论．所以这里填argument（争论）与debates是同义词．应填argument；
2：symbol；根据常识可知，绿色应该是生命和希望的象征．symbol，象征；故填symbol．
3：Without；根据后面的句子"all animals would die．所有的动物都会死"可知这里用虚拟语气表假设．故填Without．
4：would；根据Without me和no fun，可知本句的结构和Without me，all animals would die．一样，都是用虚拟语气表假设；would，将会；故填would．
5：health；根据后面说，我的维生素最多．所以这里橘黄色喊道，我是力量和健康的颜色．故填health．
6：vegetables；根据句中的carrots和oranges，可知该空应该填蔬菜；故填vegetables．
7：longer；longer；no longer固定短语，不再．根据句中的no和stand it可知，该句考查该固定短语；故填longer．
8：became；根据句中的主语voices和louder and louder，可知该句应该用become（动词，变得），因为全文谓语动词都是用的过去式形式；故填became．
9：them；根据句子中的They did as the rain可以推测该句句意应是：它们按照雨告诉它们的那样（做了）；句中的told（tell的过去式）的后面要用宾格形式的代词．故填them．
10：beautiful；根据句中的rainbow （彩虹）可知该空应填形容词，联系句意，应该是美丽的彩虹．故填beautiful．
