一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷

1．阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。When Jan and Brian Dutcher moved to San Diego for Brian's new basketball coaching job at the university，the neighbours smiled and introduced themselves．But there were no"bring a plate " invitations，no recipe(食谱)sharing and no car pooling for her daughters Liza，12, and Erin，15．"The families really didn't know each other, and we missed that．"says Jan．"We have moved a lot and are far from relatives．Neighbours are our family．"

So Jan decided to repeat a project she had done for Liza's fifth-grade class：ask each person to paint his or her face on a big canvas(帆布)． The finished piece would become the Dutchers'new family picture．

First，Jan painted a grid (网格) on the canvas and put it Lip on a board in the garage(车库)，next to a table of paints．Then whenever she was home，the "art room" door was up，with an open invitation for neighbours to paint a square．The first to stop in were kids riding by on their bikes． "They thought it was cool，"says Jan，but the adults weren't so interested in it．"Most said they hadn't picked up a paint brush since primary school，"she says．"They were afraid they'd mess it up． But as word slowly spread，they came，some using their driver's licence photos as models．

Then something started to happen．They came back-to see who had painted， or if they could find out who was who．While in Jan's garage，they began to chat about news，schools，jobs and families．Almost daily．Wendy Schucholz, who lived across the street and was fighting a serious illness，came in her wheelchair to watch the fun．Neighbours began to offer their support．

When the worst happened and Wendy died，they stood by her husband，Bill，and invited him over for dinners．

This year has been different in the neighbourhood．Families take turns hosting happy hours．They share birthdays and swim in one another's pools．"We're watching over each other now，"says Jan．"Just like in the painting．"
