B．patientC．careful D．attractive解析：選A本段第一句談到Manuela一大早就買了兩袋貓糧，下文談到Hussein在照看流浪貓，所以當Hussein看到Manuela帶來貓糧時，他當然很感謝(grateful)和興奮。patient“耐性的”，careful“細致的”，attractive“有吸引力的”，均與文章上下文內容不匹配。3．A.neighbors

D．accumulated解析：選A第一段談到Hussein很興奮；由空后的“heexplainedhewas...7days”可知，Hussein被告知7天之內必需搬離理發店，他將失去(lose)這家理發店，因此他的微笑漸漸消逝(faded)了，故選A。freeze“(因膽怯 等)不動，驚呆”，reappear“再現”，accumulate“聚集”，均與語境不符。6．A.rebuild

D．flood解析：選D上文談到Manuela每周都買貓糧給那些流浪貓，因此當她聽說Hussein不得不搬走，而這些流浪貓沒有人照看時，她的眼睛含滿淚水。flood意為“(使)灌滿水，沉沒”，在此可理解為“眼中含滿淚水”，故選D。glare“怒目而視”，open“睜開”，shine“放光”，均與語境不符。10．A.promises B．adorationC．anxiety

D．so解析：選C上文中的“astorefrontinanoldbuilding”和本空后的“therewaspotential”顯示，這個門面很老舊，沒有通電，但是(but)還是有潛力的，因此這里具有轉折關系，故選C。17．A.cameby B．cheeredupC．brokeaway
