文章大意:搬进新居的母子俩深夜弹奏钢琴以庆祝乔迁之喜,不料引起邻居的不满。儿子达里奥想到一个主意:何不邀请邻居来家做客,盛情接待?此举果然奏效,邻居纷纷携礼物前来,甚至有人赠送他们一本肖邦的音乐书。一场邻里矛盾因为彼此的尊重和包容而轻松化解。
1.A.sat B.stood
C.lay D.walked
答案:A 句意为:那天晚上,母子俩并排坐在钢琴前。下文说到他们弹奏音乐,结合常识此处应该是坐(sat)在钢琴旁。stand意为“站立”,lie意为“躺;位于”,walk意为“行走”,均不符合语境。
2.A.voice B.ring
C.music D.cry
答案:C 由前句他们弹奏爵士乐可知,此处是说高声的音乐(music)充满整个房间。voice意为“说话声”,ring意为“铃声;钟声”,cry意为“哭声;叫喊”,均不符合语境。
3.A.therefore B.however
C.otherwise D.instead
答案:B 逻辑推理题。根据空后的their happiness disappeared与前段中的made them feel very happy可知,上下文之间是转折关系,故选however,意为“然而,但是”。therefore意为“因此,所以”;otherwise 意为“否则”;instead意为“相反”。
4.A.note B.poster
C.bill D.report
答案:A 根据第七段中So I wrote a short note.可知此处应选note,为原词复现。poster意为“海报;招贴画”,bill意为“账单”,report意为“报道;报告”,均与文意不符。

C.relatives D.audiences
答案:A 上文提到是有一个邻居抱怨他们,此处应是儿子建议给邻居们(neighbors)写道歉信。friend意为“朋友”,relative意为“亲戚”,audience意为“听众;观众”,均不符合语境。

12.A.order B.sell
C.share D.advertise
