这是一篇介绍拜访邻居相关礼仪的说明文，解题时首先通读全文，明确文章整体围绕拜访邻居的注意事项展开，再逐空结合上下文的逻辑关系、段落主题匹配对应选项：
1. 第一空前文点明拜访邻居很有趣，相处后能成为好朋友，顺承逻辑自然引出要做一名得体的拜访者的要求，对应匹配选项。
2. 第二空所在段落主题是拜访的抵达时间，前文提到要准时赴约，该空承接时间相关的要求，选择和时间建议相关的选项。
3. 第三空所在段落主题是拜访时要携带的物品，后文列举了巧克力、CD这类小礼物，该空需要总领本段内容，对应引出带礼物的相关表述。
4. 第四空后文提到该做法能体现尊重，还提到另一种尊重的方式是称呼madam或sir，该空对应选择和称呼礼仪相关的选项。
5. 第五空是文章收尾句，筛选剩余符合逻辑的选项填入，最后验证排除多余的无关选项。
【解析】
1. 空1：前文说明拜访邻居的好处，顺承得出要做一名好的拜访者的结论，B选项符合逻辑衔接要求。
2. 空2：本段主题是抵达时间，前文举例说明要准时，E选项“但通常在合适的时间抵达是个好主意”承接时间相关的要求，符合语境。
3. 空3：本段主题是拜访要带的物品，后文介绍各类合适的小礼物，F选项“去邻居家的时候带点东西往往是很不错的做法”总领本段，引出下文的礼物举例。
4. 空4：后文提到该做法体现尊重，还提到称呼madam、sir的尊重方式，A选项“请用Mr或者Mrs来称呼他们”符合称呼礼仪的语境。
5. 空5：本空位于文章结尾，C选项“拜访邻居家是件很棒的事”呼应开头的主题，引出后文友善待人会受欢迎的表述。
多余选项D含义是“我们应该向邻居问好”，和上下文各段主题都不匹配，因此排除。

六、阅读理解。
James' uncle lives in a small town. Unlike big cities, only about 13 thousand people live there. Every summer, James goes to stay with his uncle for a few weeks. People live far from each other. James couldn't see other neighbouring houses when he is at his uncle's house, but when James goes out for a walk with his uncle, they usually walk past some neighbouring houses. James soon notices that every time his uncle walks past someone, his uncle waves(挥手). James is very surprised and asks his uncle, “How do you know everyone here in the neighbourhood?” His uncle answers, “I actually don't know them all. When I wave to someone and we know each other, that person is happy, but when I wave to someone and we don't know each other, that person is surprised and he is going to think about the reason I wave. So that person has something to think about for the rest of the day. Thanks to me, that person's day just shortens.”

【分析】
这是一篇趣味小故事类的阅读理解，所有题目都可以通过定位原文内容结合简单逻辑推导得出答案，解题思路如下：1. 先通读全文了解故事大意，再逐个审题划出每个题干的核心关键词；2. 带着关键词返回原文找到对应的语句，比对选项选出匹配的答案；3. 遇到指代题、词义猜测题时，重点阅读划线内容的前后文，结合上下文逻辑判断指代对象和生词含义，不要脱离原文主观臆断。
【解析】
1. 细节定位题：根据原文第二句"Unlike big cities, only about 13 thousand people live there."可知，James叔叔居住的小镇大约有13000人，对应选项C。
2. 细节理解题：James看到叔叔向路过的每个人挥手后十分惊讶，紧接着他向叔叔提问"How do you know everyone here in the neighbourhood?"，说明James不敢相信叔叔居然认识附近这么多人，对应选项B。
3. 代词指代题：定位划线词person的前文内容"but when I wave to someone and we don't know each other, that person is surprised and he is going to think about the reason I wave. So that person has something to think about for the rest of the day."，可知这里的person指代的是叔叔挥手致意、但彼此并不认识的人，对应选项B。
4. 词义猜测题：前文提到被挥手的陌生人接下来的一整天都会思考叔叔向自己挥手的原因，时间在专注思考的过程中会让人感知到流逝变快，因此会觉得一天的时间变短了，所以shortens的含义是变短，对应选项A。
