【解析】

试题分析：文章通过作者记叙自己在社区图书馆的经历，来劝告人们通过尝试与陌生人交流来增进彼此之间的关系，符合了当下“和谐社会”的大环境。

1.A考查动词辨析 A．change改变；B．explain解释；C．1earn学习；D．show展示；根据文义，作者在思考了社区内人与人之间距离逐渐疏远这一现象后，决定改变之前的行为。值得注意的是，后文即对作者的行为进行描述，第三段的最后一词即为change，符合前后对应原则。

2.D 考查名词辨析及语境理解。A．trouble困难；B．doubt怀疑；C．wish愿望；D．opportunity机会；句意：一天早上，当我在社区图书馆的时候，我的……出现了。可以通过理解得出答案，但也可以简单地按照完形名词解题法寻找重复，第四段第三个词即为答案。

3.B考查动词辨析 A．took带来；B．dropped 掉落；C．got 得到；D．pulled拖；对应后文pick up，可知小女孩之前是书掉落，选dropped。

4.A 考查动词短语辨析A．go back 回去；B．stand by支持；C．come out出来；D．turn up出现；根据文义，作者后来发现没人帮助小女孩，说明作者必定重新返回原来的地方，故选A项。

5.C考查动词辨析 A．please请；B．greet问候；C．help帮助；D．praise表扬；前文someone else和后文的no one对应，所以动作也应该对应，所以选help。故选C项。

6.A考查动词辨析 A．sitting 坐；B．walking走；C．riding骑；D．running跑；后文so是解题点，说明作者的动作也和一位男士的动作一致，故选sitting，故选A项。

7.D 考查名词辨析A．discussion讨论；B．lesson课；C．report报告；D．conversation对话；寻找重复后发现，第44题后面一个词chat即为本题答案，因此选chat的同义词conversation，故选D 项。

8.C 考查名词辨析A．joke 玩笑；B．cry哭；C．response回应；D．story故事；句意：我的新朋友的每个……中都显示出怀疑的语气。joke，cry和story在文中均未提及，直接排除，选response，故选C项。

9.B考查形容词辨析 A．unchangeable难以改变的；B．Unprepared未准备好的；C．unforgettable难忘的； D．unfinished 未完成的；对于一个陌生人，人们并不习惯于进行……的交谈。此句是由前文作者对于陌生人的反应而总结出来的。前文作者对陌生人的交谈很不顺利，如何开始、如何结束都显得十分困难，因此本题应选择与“困难”相近的词。纵观备选项，unprepared(未准备好的，即兴的)较符合文义，故选B项。

10.A 考查副词辨析A．desperately拼命的；B．frequently流畅地；C．simply简单地；D．widely广泛地；句意：和陌生人交谈的方式的改变无论是……的需要，它都不会发生。此题单纯从文义理解比较困难，建议用排除法。frequently, simply, widely这3个选项均不是文章讨论的内容，可以排除，剩下答案desperately(十分，非常地)修饰这种需要的迫切程度，故选A项。

11.D 考查动词辨析A．allow允许；B．warn警告；C．order 命令；D．advise建议；最后一段作者针对与陌生人疏远这种情况，建议人们努力改善，故选D项。

12.D考查形容词辨析 A．1ater 晚的；B．straighter 直接的；C．closer近的；D．Slower慢的；对应第一段的apart，此处应选择相对应的反义词closer，故选D项。

考点：故事类短文
