68、更加怀念以前的邻居。【40题详解】词义猜测题。由第一段“As usual, I rushed home from work at midday to check on the house.像往常一样，我在中午下班冲回家查看房子。根据语境可知作者回家去查看证实一切都正常，由于主语是nothing，所以这里是没什么不对。故选A项。【41题详解】细节理解题。作者提到I watched a news report about floods in Northern India and thought ,“We didnt have a straw hut(茅草房)that was swept away
69、, and our house is still sanding .

We lost everything downstairs. We didnt want to move the children out of
70、 home, so we camped upstairs.” 幸亏孩子们没和我在一起，因为房子里的水有5英尺深。楼下的东西都没有了，我们不想把孩子们从家里移出去，所以就在楼上宿营。由此判断出作者很关心孩子。故选B项。【43题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“What surprised me most was how much I missed being part of a community (社区). We had lived in a friendly village with good neighbours, and Id never thought how much Id miss t
71、hat. ” 最让我惊讶的是我是多么怀念成为社区的一员。我们住在一个友好的村庄，邻居都很好，我从来没有想过我会多么想念他们。作者提到在小木屋中生活一段时间后很怀念原来的邻居和社区，以及最后一段话中还讲到要举行舞会来感激朋友们对自己的帮助等事实可以判断出作者比之前更重视情感。故选D项。CBabies are born yogis.
