文章大意：搬进新居的母子俩深夜弹奏钢琴以庆祝乔迁之喜，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.A.sat B.stood
C.lay D.walked
答案：A 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.A.voice B.ring
C.music D.cry
答案：C 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.A.therefore B.however
C.otherwise D.instead
答案：B 逻辑推理题。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”。
4.A.note B.poster
C.bill D.report
答案：A 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.A.proud B.rich
C.lucky D.nice
答案：D 逻辑推理题。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.A.neighbors B.friends
C.relatives D.audiences
答案：A 上文提到是有一个邻居抱怨他们，此处应是儿子建议给邻居们(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.A.blame B.instruct
C.question D.visit
答案：D 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“质疑;询问”;visit意为“拜访”。根据语境可知应选D项。

11.A.continued B.arrived
C.passed D.finished
答案：B 逻辑推理题。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到来了(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.A.order B.sell
C.share D.advertise
答案：C 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.A.treated B.presented
C.helped D.served
答案：B 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。

15.A.give B.send
C.offer D.owe
答案：D 逻辑推理题。根据上文可知母子俩想要向邻居道歉，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”。
