【主旨大意】 搬进新居的母子俩深夜弹奏钢琴以示庆祝，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．【答案】A
【解析】 此句意为：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．【答案】C
【解析】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．【答案】B
【解析】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”。根据上下文语境可知选B项。
4．【答案】A
【解析】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。
5．【答案】D
【解析】根据空前的but和空后的“he couldn't imagine any of them had done that”可知，管理员认为邻居们都是友善的人。proud意为“骄傲的”；rich意为“富有的”；lucky意为“幸运的”；nice意为“友善的”。根据语境可知应选D项。
6．【答案】D
【解析】上文提到是邻居抱怨他们，此处儿子应是建议给邻居们(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。
7．【答案】D
【解析】此句意为：也许“我们”可以亲自去拜访每一个人。blame意为“责备”；instruct意为“教导，指导”；question意为“质问，询问”；visit意为“拜访”。根据语境可知应选D项。
8．【答案】A
【解析】 此句意为：如果“我们”邀请他们来这儿参加聚会，又会怎么样呢？由下文中的party lights以及“Finally, the day of the party…”可知应选A项。
9．【答案】B
【解析】上文达里奥提出办一个聚会，下文他们确实办了聚会，由此可知此处是说他们都喜欢这个主意。experience意为“经历；经验”；idea意为“想法，主意”；performance意为“表演；表现”；action意为“行为；行动”。根据上下文语境可知应选B项。
10．【答案】C
【解析】 此句意为：在接下来的几天里，他们发了请柬并为客人准备了甜点。prepare…for…意为“为……准备……”，for在此处表示对象。
11．【答案】B
【解析】 此句意为：终于，聚会的这天到了。由finally和下文内容可知，此处是说他们准备的聚会来到了(arrived)。continue意为“继续”；pass 意为“经过；过去”；finish意为“完成”，均不符合语境。
12．【答案】C
【解析】客人们带甜点来参加聚会，应该是为了分享(share)，而不是为了售卖(sell)和做广告(advertise)，更与订购(order)无关。故选 C项。
13．【答案】B
【解析】此句意为：吉尔伯特夫人赠给达里奥的妈妈一本肖邦的钢琴音乐书。present sb.with sth.意为“赠送某人某物”，为固定搭配，故选B项。treat sb.with sth.意为“用某物招待某人”，help sb.with sth.意为“帮助某人做某事”，serve sb.(with) sth.意为“用某物招待某人”，均与文意不符。
14．【答案】D
【解析】由前句“钢琴声把我吵醒了”可知，此处吉尔伯特夫人是担心(worried)他们会每天晚上这样弹奏。promise 意为“承诺；答应”；admit意为“承认”；agree意为“同意”。
15．【答案】D
【解析】 根据上文可知母子俩想要和邻居道歉，可知此处表示欠邻居一个道歉。owe sb.sth.是固定搭配，意为“欠某人某物”。
16．【答案】A
【解析】 此句意为：“我”没有意识到“我们”弹钢琴的时候是那么晚了。realize意为“认识到，意识到”，符合语境。remember意为“记得”；understand意为“理解，懂得”；accept意为“接受”。
17．【答案】D
【解析】 根据上文的“Just not so loud at night.”可知，此处吉尔伯特夫人是说这些歌曲不太吵。故选loud。
18．【答案】C
【解析】由前面提到的“beautiful music”可知，达里奥的妈妈是说将会很高兴(happy)能在晚上演奏这些音乐。
19．【答案】B
【解析】 此句意为：他已经期待着能练习这些新乐曲了。结合语境可知，拿到新的音乐书，达里奥当然想要练习或者演奏了。practice意为“练习；实践”，符合语境。
20．【答案】C
【解析】 根据空后的“made him feel that they were home at last”可知，此处是说达里奥感到温暖。equality 意为“平等”；freedom意为“自由”；warmth意为“温暖”；sympathy 意为“怜悯；同情”。根据语境可知应选C项。

The people at the store weren't much help.They couldn't understand why someone wouldn't want a phone the size of a postage stamp.And the rate plans! They were confusing, and expensive—and the contract (合同)lasted for two years!

This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing.Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what's happening around them.They can seem forgetful and clumsy.__1__ They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history.__2__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?
So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?
First, understand that some opportunities (机会) for daydreaming are better than others.Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.__3__ And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you're daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.
It's also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate.“Mindfulness”， being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.__4__
Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.__5__
Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.
A．Having interesting things to think about also helps.
B．They stare off into space and wander by themselves.
C．Without wandering minds, we wouldn't have relatively, Coke or Postit notes.
D．At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.
