二、阅读理解
Here are some warm stories about neighbours.
Best birthday
Amy lived in her house in Hudson for 35
years. But now she had money problems.
Amy had to leave the home. Her neighbour
Danielle couldn't bear忍受 to see Amy and her
two dogs living in the street. So she bought the
house back. On Amy's 89th birthday, she moved
back in and now she lives in her "home" again.
John always helped his old neighbour,
Nancy. He cleaned snow and ice for her, and
brought her newspapers closer to her door, so she
didn't have to walk far. He didn't know he would
save救 her life one day. One winter, he found
she didn't take her newspapers for a long time. He
knocked on her door, but she didn't answer. John
called the police. They found out she fell and
couldn't get up. She stayed there alone for about
three days. Luckily, she got better in the hospital.
Exercise friends
Mary was old and lived in New York. She
wanted to be strong. Her neighbour, Andy,
helped her learn how to exercise in the right way.
Andy showed Mary some moves动作 and
watched her so she would not hurt herself. They
even made videos of their exercise and asked other
neighbours to help each other. Andy said, "My
mother is also old and can't move. Helping old
neighbours is like helping my mum."
A good neighbour is better than a brother far

【语篇导读】本文讲述了几个邻居之间温暖互助的故事。
1. C 提示:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中"Mary was old and lived in New York. She wanted to be strong. Her neighbour, Andy, helped her learn how to exercise in the right way."可知,安迪教玛丽用正确的方式锻炼。
2. C 提示:细节理解题。根据第四段中"He knocked on her door, but she didn't answer. John called the police. They found out she fell and couldn't get up."可知,约翰打电话报警的根本原因是南希摔倒了,不能起来给约翰开门。
3. C 提示:最佳标题题。根据第四段中"One winter, he found she didn't take her newspapers for a long time. He knocked on her door, but she didn't answer. John called the police. They found out she fell and couldn't get up."可知,南希因为报纸获救,所以选项C"救命的报纸"最适合作第二个故事的小标题。
4. D 提示:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中"Helping old neighbours is like helping my mum."可知,安迪帮助年迈的邻居是因为他们让他想起他的妈妈。

【分析】
这是一篇讲述邻居间温暖互助故事的记叙文，解题时需先通读全文，熟悉三个小故事的内容，再针对每个小题回到原文定位关键信息，通过逐一比对选项与原文内容来排除错误选项，选出正确答案：
1. 第1题是细节理解题，需逐个核对选项：A选项与原文中Danielle帮Amy买回房子让她搬回不符；B选项John帮助的是Nancy而非Amy；C选项对应原文中Andy教Mary正确锻炼的内容；D选项Nancy没拿报纸是因为摔倒无法起身，并非不想拿。
2. 第2题是细节理解题，要找到John报警的根本原因，原文提到John敲门无人应答后报警，警察发现Nancy摔倒起不来，这才是报警的核心原因。
3. 第3题是最佳标题题，第二个故事中John是通过Nancy长时间没拿报纸发现异常，进而救了她，所以标题要突出报纸在这个故事里的关键作用。
4. 第4题是细节理解题，直接定位到Andy说的话，他认为帮助老邻居就像帮助自己的妈妈，这就是他帮忙的原因。
【解析】
1. 第1题：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Mary was old and lived in New York. She wanted to be strong. Her neighbour, Andy, helped her learn how to exercise in the right way.”可知Andy教玛丽用正确的方式锻炼，C选项正确；A选项原文是Danielle买回房子让Amy搬回，并非Amy买新房；B选项John帮助的是Nancy，不是Amy；D选项Nancy没拿报纸是因为摔倒无法起身，不是不想拿，故A、B、D错误。
2. 第2题：细节理解题。根据第四段“He knocked on her door, but she didn't answer. John called the police. They found out she fell and couldn't get up.”可知，约翰敲门没人应答，报警后发现南希摔倒起不来，这是他报警的根本原因，C选项正确；A选项是John平时帮Nancy的内容，不是报警原因；B选项是发现异常的表现，不是报警的根本原因；D选项是Nancy摔倒后的状态，不是报警原因，故A、B、D错误。
3. 第3题：最佳标题题。第二个故事中，John发现Nancy长时间没拿报纸，敲门无人应答后报警，最终救了Nancy，报纸是发现异常的关键线索，“Life-saving newspapers（救命的报纸）”最能体现故事核心，C选项正确；A选项“Kind doctors”、B选项“Helpful policemen”都不是故事的核心角色；D选项“Cold winter days”只是故事的背景，不能体现故事主旨，故A、B、D错误。
4. 第4题：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Andy said, 'My mother is also old and can't move. Helping old neighbours is like helping my mum.'”可知，安迪帮助年迈邻居是因为他们让他想起自己的妈妈，D选项正确；A选项不是他帮助邻居的原因；B选项文中未提及老邻居对他友好；C选项是他帮Mary的具体行为，不是原因，故A、B、C错误。
