26、For ten years, Hingorani and I have shared a wall. In all these years, we shared nothing more than that wall.
Hingorani lost her husband around eight months ago. Now, the 82-year-old former headmaster of Mumbai’s Jai Hind College lives alone in the apartment next door.
Knowing it would be difficult for her to manage things without any help, I started dropping by. When I found out that she loves meat and chicken, I went with a plate of butter chicken and kulchas. And we started to talk of course.
As we started to talk, I realized how different she was from what I had thought. And that’s where our friendship really began. I found that she related to me in a lot of ways — both of us married of our own free will, and she, too, was a working mother, We spoke about her relationship with her two sisters who live abroad and how they connect with each other every day.
Her liberal thinking, the way she raised her daughter, her love for her culture and stories of her teaching days — including how the boys at her college gave her a hard time — all made for great conversation. I never felt we were generations apart. She, too, loves my company and looks forward to my crazy stories without judgment. I tell her about the challenges I face when raising a child. A chat with her is like a warm hug at the end of a bad day.
Hingorani has become part of my daily life. I look forward to either having a cup of tea with her on her balcony or enjoying a glass of wine on a Saturday night. Our connection is pure. Our friendship is not limited by age. Instead, it is strengthened by the circumstances.
【1】Why did the author begin to visit Hingorani?
A．She felt lonely living alone.
B．She was curious about the neighbor.
C．She had extra food to share with the neighbor.
D．She wants to lend the neighbor a hand.
【2】What did the author realize after talking with Hingorani?
A．They had a lot in common.
B．They both had two sisters.
C．They had different thoughts.
D．They had known each other for years.
【3】What can we infer about the author from the last two paragraphs?
A．She lives a very relaxing life.
B．She is good at raising children.
C．She enjoys the old lady’s company.
D．She has no other friends except the old lady.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A．I Found a Great Friend Beyond Age
B．I Saw Cooking as a Useful Bonding Tool
C．A Great Conversation Saved My Life
D．My New Friend Taught Me to Cook

32、Last year, my oldest son Matthew went off to college. Things at home were not as “busy” as they used to be. We still had our 15-year-old son Gabriel with us, but we missed having Matthew around.
My wife soon had a crazy idea. “Let’s get a dog,” she suggested. I wasn’t exactly thrilled with the idea, but I agreed. I mean, what better way to replace a kid that has gone off to college than to get a dog.
When we got to the animal shelter, it seemed like every dog was a pit bull (比特犬). I’d had many bad experiences with pit bulls as a child, so I didn’t want to take one of them home with me.
While I walked along the rows and rows of cold metal cages, a dog caught my eye. He was scared, and looked like he’d given up on life. There was only one problem: he was a pit bull.
As he looked at me with his big, beautiful eyes, I could see into his soul. I could see how scared he was and that he just wanted a happy life. I couldn’t just walk away—I had to at least go over and look at him. I approached his cage, and he just sat there, looking at me. I stuck my finger through the hole in the cage and petted him on the head.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I expected him to get mad, but he didn’t.
