【解析】

这是一篇议论文，文章讲述给别人做善意的行为，而这个人将善意继续下去的善举；倡导爱的相互传递。

1.

句意：“向前支付”就是无任何理由地为另一个人去做一些善举。

space空间；action行为；reason理由。此处用for no reason表示“没有任何理由”。故选C。

2.

句意:但是这种善行可以迅速传播开来。

fast快；slowly慢；hardly几乎不。此处用副词fast表示“传播得很快”。故选A。

3.

句意：她也为站在她后面的人付餐款。

made 制作；bought买；sold卖。根据“a woman was buying a meal”可知此处用动词bought表示“买”。选B。

4.

句意：那个人也做了相同的事情，接下来一个人也是如此。

too常放在肯定句句末，前必须有逗号把它和前面的句子分开。either常用于否定句和疑问句中，前有逗号，把它和前面的内容分开。also 一般放在肯定句中，放在be动词、情态动词或助动词之后，实义动词之前。这是肯定句，逗号和前面隔开用too放在句末表示“也”。故选A。

5.

句意：不久，250个人都给另一个人做了这种善意的行为。

madness疯狂；politeness礼貌；kindness善意。根据“buying a meal”可知此处是表达给别人的餐买单这种善行，用名词kindness。故选C。

6.

句意：但是你没有必要花钱来向前付款。

would like to想要；are supposed to理应；don’t need to没必要。根据“There are examples of paying it forward every day like volunteering”可知此处讲的是不花钱的善举，用don’t need to do的结构。故选C。

7.

句意：有一些善举的例子，比如志愿者、给物价可归的人送食物或者给你周围的某个人做一些善意的举动。

the rich富人；the homeless无家可归的人；the missing失踪的人。根据“giving food”可知此处用the homeless表示“无家可归的人”。故选B。

8.

句意：你自己试试看。

myself我自己；yourself你自己；itself它自己。根据“All you have to do”可知此处用“你自己”yourself。故选B。

9.

句意：所有你必须做的就是寻找你能做的让别人开心的小事。

small小的；awful糟糕的；strange奇怪的。根据“doing something nice for someone around you”可知此处用small表示“小事情”。故选A。

10.

句意：当某个人给你做了善意的行为，不要忘记做相同的事。

agree同意；forget忘记；decide决定。此处用forget to do表示“忘记做某事”。故选B。
