1．B 此处为固定拓展。Be busy with sth. 意思为“忙于某事”，此处be busy with pencils and paper 意思为“忙着用铅笔在纸上记。”“忙着干某事”英语为be busy doing sth. 。
2．A 由下文“搬家”和同义词的区别而定。prepare “准备，预备”不合题意；examine发现“毛病、问题”；test测试”，重在质量、水平等是否过关；check “检查,核对” ，是最佳答案。
3．B ring在此是名词，意思为“门铃声”。
4．A 由前文“有人按门铃”判断。answer a / the ring 相当于answer the / a door ，意思为“应声开门”。
5．D 下文提示。
6．A 根据下文判断，中年妇女误以the Jones 为刚刚搬来，以老住户的身份来表示欢迎。
7． B 由特定语境判断，搬家时屋子里比较乱，向客人“道歉”合情合理。
8． C 这是“道歉”的常用语。
9． C 由前面的some parts 和下文的some streets 推断，只有town 才合逻辑。
10． D 由下文的“邻居之间互相不认识”得知。
11． A 。
12． B 根据文意判断。
13． B 根据下文的逻辑关系而定。
14． A 由下文“邻居亲如一家”断定。anybody 用于肯定句，意思为“任何人”。
15． C 。
16． A 均由上下文而定。
17． A 由下文“房子换了新主人”判断。fright “害怕”不合题意。
18． C the next time 意思为“下一次”。
19． B 根据正篇故事的情节判断，这是房子的新主人。
20． C 依据特定的语境判断，the Jones 见中年妇女热情很高，不忍心扫对方的兴，也不使自己难堪，故最佳答案应是没有“勇气”把真相说出，并非没有机会（chance ），（time ）兴趣修饰前面的the new owners 。
