Question

Several years ago we moved into the apartment where we live now. When my friends helped me move in the downstairs neighbors began to   36  about the noise. I could do   37  about it. After all noises are unavoidable(不可避免的).How can anyone move in   38  .
Still   39  the complaints continued on a daily basis—well after the first day. We walked “too loudly”down the stairs we laughed too often we opened and closed the door too many times…They had many   40  to complain.
Nobody can stand the endless complaints and quarrels. I soon learned that they had   41  the last few families who lived above them by the same way. So I had the information I needed and I tried to   42  e very situation carefully.
I tried to walk in   43  to avoid any possible noises. Whenever they called   44  came to the door with a complaint no matter how unreasonable I simply listened. From their confused expressions I could imagine that they had never expected to get a   45  attitude from me.
Of course it was hard to keep calm but my sister and I   46  . I told my sister that we were going to be pleasant and   47  them to change their attitude to neighbors. I explained to her that they probably felt   48  in their lives because they are common people.   49  they were always looking for a   50  to show their power so that nobody could look down upon them. I continued smiling and greeting them as I saw them much to their   51  .On more than one occasion(不止一次) I ended up   52  them. They thanked me before they left.
Unexpectedly the next time I saw them they all smiled and   53  friendly. We had a short but pleasant   54  . Ever since then they’ve been very pleasant neighbors and we’ve become good   55  .

本文讲述的是我们用善良对待邻居，最后终于改变了别人的态度，我们成为了很好的态度。本文主要是测试学生综合运用语言的能力，即从语篇的角度综合测试阅读理解能力、词汇的掌握和对英语习惯用语的熟悉程度、以及语法规则的灵活运用。考生做题时必须时刻从上下文考虑，不应该只看到所添的词在短语或句子内是否可行。因此，在做题时最好将全文通读一下，了解了全文的意思以后再作答。
