二．完形填空

Anna arrived far too early. Usually she left things to the last minute, but today was very 15 . She got there

almost an hour beforehand. She hoped the plane would arrive sooner. 16 raced through her mind. "Do I look

all right? Will he notice that I'm wearing a new suit? Will he even recognize me?" It was a year almost to the day

since she had 17 seen Joe. She

18

got a mirror out of her handbag and looked at her face carefully. Too

much make-up? Joe had never said anything, but she knew that he did not like heavy make-up. It was funny

how important she thought it to be to make a good impression on him. After all friends do not judge each other by

19

. All the same, it was the first meeting after a long separation, and she wanted everything to go off right.

Looking out of the window, through a break in the clouds, Joe caught a first sight of the town far 20 . This

was his third visit, and looked like becoming a yearly event. Certainly it was very lucky that they had 21 him to

be the guest lecturer again. The Chairman of the Organizing Committee, as a matter of politeness, had 22 to

meet him at the airport, as he had done before. This time, however, it was not 23 , partly because Joe was quite

familiar with the city, but mostly because Anna had said that she could 24 the afternoon off in order to come and

meet him.
