一、完形填空
Nanjing is full of friendly people, and Xiaohua is just one example. Here's a story by a British boy about his neighbour in Nanjing.
Mr Xi lives next to me in my new neighbourhood. He grows fruit in his big garden and gives it to everyone he sees. The neighbours always say he should 1 his fruit. "You'd make a lot of money at the farmer's market," they say. "Méi guān xi!" he smiles.
One weekend, Mum has to work. She asks Mr Xi to 2 me. He agrees at once. "I'm so sorry, 3 we don't know our other neighbours well," she says. "Méi guān xi!" Mr Xi says and laughs.
That afternoon, we have great fun together. He teaches me how to tell when a lemon is 4 to pick. He asks me to look at the lemons carefully. "It's very easy," he says. "They let you 5 by turning yellow and a little shiny." I finally go home with a basket full of lemons.
"How will we deal with all these lemons?" Mum asks. "Méi guan xi!" I say. "What does that mean?" she asks. I 6 find that I don't know. So the next time I see Mr Xi, I ask him, "What does 'méi guan xi' mean?"
"It means no 7," he answers, "or it doesn't matter, never mind, you shouldn't worry about it!"
"Not worry? How could someone not worry? I worry about everything! When it rains, I worry about getting 8. When it's sunny, I worry about getting too hot. When in class, I worry about getting a question wrong. I worry about getting too many questions right."
"Rain? Sun? My trees need 9 to make delicious fruit!" says Mr Xi.
"Right? Wrong? Well, do you try your best? Then méi guānxi!"
That's the 10 of Mr Xi—he turns worries into joy, and always gives help to others, just like his endless baskets of fruit. "Mei guān xi" isn't only warm words, but also the way he lives.

1. C 提示:eat意为"吃";buy意为"买";sell意为
"卖";taste意为"品尝"。根据下一句"You'd make
a lot of money at the farmer's market"可知,邻居们觉
得他应该把水果拿去卖,在农贸市场上赚很多钱。
2. A 提示:care for意为"照顾";wait for意为"等
待";look for意为"寻找";prepare for意为"为……
做准备"。根据上一句"One weekend, Mum has to
work."可知,一个周末,作者的妈妈要工作,所以
让习先生照顾作者。
3. C 提示:if意为"如果";so意为"所以";but意为
"但是";after意为"在……之后"。句意:"我很抱
歉,但我们不太认识其他邻居。"她说。上下文是

好做某事"。

意为"匆忙";problem意为"问题"。根据下文"or it
doesn't matter, never mind, you shouldn't worry about

担心",结合选项可知,此处指没问题。
