一、阅读理解
Two ladies lived next to each other. One day, one of the ladies said to the other, "I have lived here for five years, but I have never met you before. Could I have your name, please?" The other replied, "I am Li Huaying. I moved here three years ago. What should I call you?"
It seems very
ridiculous that people living next to each other don't know each other for such a long time. However, this kind of story is often heard in many cities. With the raising of living standards (水平), many people have moved into modern buildings. They like to stay at home, enjoying the modern life in their houses. They seldom go out after they get home from work. They have little contact (联系) with their neighbours and don't care about what is happening in the neighbourhood.
Our lives are getting better and better, but the relationship (关系) between neighbours is not as close as before. A good relationship with neighbours is important to people. People need trust, understanding and help all the time. Now, we should do something to make a change. People living in the same neighbourhood should be organized (组织) to take part in some social activities so that they can have a better understanding of each other.

【分析】
1. 第1题:解题时先定位文章开头信息,根据“Two ladies lived next to each other”中“next to each other”(紧邻)的提示,可判断两人是邻居关系,对应选项C。
2. 第2题:需结合上下文语境猜测词义,文中提到邻居居住多年却互不相识,这种情况看起来很不合常理,结合选项可推断“ridiculous”意为“可笑的”,选B。
3. 第3题:在第二段寻找关键信息,文中明确提到人们下班回家后喜欢待在家里,很少外出,和邻居联系少且不关心邻里事,对应选项C。
4. 第4题:根据第三段“the relationship between neighbours is not as close as before”(邻里关系不如以前亲密),可反推以前的邻里关系是亲密的,选B。
5. 第5题:定位第二段“this kind of story is often heard in many cities”,直接得出这种事常发生在城市,选C。
