Ⅴ.阅读理解

The moving truck with furniture was parked in front of our Southern California home. My husband and I were sweeping out the open garage when a woman from a house across the street came up to us with an apple pie.

“Welcome to the neighbourhood，”  she said. “I made it myself and I want you to have it.”

“Really, we can't.” , my husband replied.

“Of course you can，” she ran on. “When I moved in two  years ago no one welcomed me, and I want you to feel at home.” She thrust(塞) the pie into my husband's hands.

“Uh, well, you see，”he said,  with a disappointed laugh, “we have been here four years and we're moving.”

The woman stared at him, dumbfounded (目瞪口呆), with her mouth open.

“Well，” she said, shrugging(耸肩) her shoulders with an air of resignation(顺从), “Enjoy it anyway!”

My husband and I laughed heartily,  determining in the future to be better neighbours ourselves.

文章大意：本文通过讲述一个发生在作者搬家离开时的小故事，反映了西方国家日益淡薄的人际关系。

1.The woman came up to us because ________.

A.she wanted to see us off

B.she wanted to see our furniture

C.she wanted to sell her pie to us

D.she thought we had just arrived here

答案：D　细节理解题。根据“Welcome to the neighbourhood”可推知这位邻居还以为作者是新来的，故此题答案为D。

2.The sentence “Really, we can't” exactly means ________.

A.neither the writer nor her husband could accept the apple pie

B.we didn't like eating the apple pie

C.we were so busy that we had no time to eat it

D.we are full. We needn't eat it

答案：A　推理判断题。根据上下文的意思可以推断出来作者夫妇都不会接受the apple pie。

3.The phrase “feel at home” in the passage probably means ________.

A.live at home B.feel comfortable

C.help oneself to it D.be brave

答案：B　词义猜测题。“feel at home”本意是“感觉像在家里一样”，引申为“宾至如归，无拘无束，感觉舒服”等意思。故答案为B。

4.When the woman knew the writer and her husband were moving, she felt ________.

A.excited B.embarrassed

C.angry D.disappointed

答案：B　推理判断题。满心欢喜地拿着自己做的apple pie欢迎新邻居，结果对方是准备搬离这个小区，此时的“尴尬”远大于“失望”。

5.Personal relationship in western countries is ________.

A.important B.valuable

C.necessary D.hardly thinkable

答案：D　推理判断题。作者在这里住了四年，现在要搬走了，而邻居却以为他们是新搬来的，可见西方国家的人际关系非常淡薄，难以置信。

1.______　2.______　3.______　4.______　5.______

6.______　7.______　8.______　9.______　10.______

答案：

1.that　so...that...引导结果状语从句。

2.until　此处意为“直到黄昏她才打扫完房屋”，not...until...“直到……才……”。

3.Looking　所填词的逻辑主语为she，与句子主语一致且是主动关系，故用现在分词形式。

4.were attracted。所填词在句中作谓语，they和attract为被动关系，事情发生在过去，故用一般过去时的被动语态。

5.to　表示“向某人表示感谢”用express one's thanks to sb.。

6.delicately　此处修饰arrange，故用其副词形式。

7.a　a bit“一点”是固定用法，此处表示“有点儿吃惊”。

8.did　此处强调谓语动词make，且事情发生在过去，故用did。

9.unaware　此处意为“没有意识到我工作的辛劳”，故用aware的反义词。

10.me　所填词在句中作宾语，意为“表扬我的举手之劳”，故用me。
