問題詳情：

A

Is a nearby neighbour better than a faraway cousin? An American lady, Anna Lane, believes it's true. Her kind neighbours once helped her out when she was in a big trouble.

Mrs. Lane was living alone in a city in Texas, US. The woman in her 70s could do a lot of housework herself. However, she was too old to mow（修剪）her lawn（草坪）. Then a big trouble found her. She let the grass grow over 18 inches high and it broke the law in her city. As a result, she was in danger of paying lots of money or even going to prison!

Luckily, her neighbours, the Adams brothers, heard the news about her on TV. They decided to do something to help. “We haven't met her yet, but she's 75 years old and she needs some help, “said Sam Adams, one of the boys. “That's the least we could do.”

The Adams brothers took their mowers（修剪機）and came to Mrs Lane's house to mow her lawn without telling her. Once they got started, other neighbours saw what was going on and joined in the effort.

Together they worked hard in the sun and finished mowing the whole lawn in about two hours. When Mrs Lane saw what her neighbours did for her, she was surprised and moved to tears（感動得落淚）. “I cannot believe this, “she said. “They were so kind to spend two hours helping me and I didn't even know their names. “As for the Adams brothers, they said they would always be ready to help her.

31. D細節理解題。根據第二段中的句子“Mrs. Lane was living alone in a city in Texas, US. The woman in her 70s could do a lot of housework herself. However, she was too old to mow（修剪）her lawn（草坪）.” 可知，萊恩太太獨自一人生活。年齡70多歲，可以自己做很多家務。卻因年齡大無法修剪草坪。故*為D。

32. B細節理解題。根據第二段中的句子“She let the grass grow over 18 inches high and it broke the law in her city. As a result, she was in danger of paying lots of money or even going to prison!” 她讓草長到18英寸高，這違反了她所在城市的法律。結果，她面臨着要付很多錢甚至入獄的危險！故*為B。

34. C判斷正誤題。根據文中句子“We haven't met her yet, but she's 75 years old and she needs some help”可知，亞當斯兄弟沒有見過萊恩太太，A選項錯誤；根據“I didn't even know their names.”可知，萊恩太太幾乎不知道她的鄰居的名詞，B選項錯誤；根據“I cannot believe this”可知，萊恩太太沒想到鄰居會幫助她。C選項正確；根據“The Adams brothers took their mowers（修剪機）and came to Mrs. Lane's house to mow her lawn without telling her.”可知，亞當斯兄弟是拿着自己的修剪機，D選項錯誤。故*選C。

35. A主旨大意題。短文介紹的就是“遠親不如緊鄰”。當萊恩太太遇到困境時，是鄰居們及時伸出了援手去幫助她，令萊恩太太非常感動。文章的主旨就是“好鄰居”，故*為A。
