Our family have been trying to take the idea of “love the neighbour” ___6___, and sometimes that does literally mean the person living next door, ___7___ you’ve only met them from the kitchen window.
So I made a sign reading “Have a nice day!” and stuck it on my kitchen window. A while later, a sign appeared on their window with a ___8___ for us. “Thank you. You too!”
We went on like this for a few days and I thought of how this would be a nice story for us all: ___9___ by signs and moving from strangers to good friends. ____10____ around Day 5, I posted a line of a Mary Oliver poem, and that was the ____11____ of that.

And we both went back inside.
It is so ____14____ to be a good neighbour now. We can’t ____15____ and knock on a door, or even lend things. After this is all over, I have decided I will invite all our neighbors over for dinner. I can’t be a neighbour now, but I can be a neighbour then. The pandemic will have knitted us together like an old worn sock and we’ll stay that way.

4.（2022·上海·高一专题练习）With Covid-19 Under Control, China's Economy Surges Ahead
As most of the world still struggles with the coronavirus pandemic, China is showing once again that a fast economic rebound is possible when the virus is brought firmly under control.
The Chinese economy ___51___ by 4.9 percent in the July-to-September quarter compared with the same months last year, the country's National Bureau of Statistics announced on Monday.

Many of the world's major economies have climbed quickly out of the depths of a contraction last spring, when shutdowns caused output to ___53___ steeply. But China is the first to report growth that significantly surpasses where it was at this time last year.

That has partly ___59___ a rapid drop in commodity prices last spring and softened the impact of the pandemic on some industries.
___60___ China's recovery has done less to help the rest of the world than in the past because its imports have not increased nearly as much as its exports. This pattern has created jobs in China but placed a（n） ___61___ on growth elsewhere.
China's economic recovery has also been dependent for months on huge investments in highways, high-speed train lines and other infrastructure. And in recent weeks, the country has seen the beginning of a recovery in ___62___ consumption. The well-off and people living in export-centered coastal provinces were the first to start spending money again. But activity is resuming now even in places like Wuhan, the central Chinese city where the new coronavirus first ___63___.
Determined to keep local transmission of the virus at or near zero, China has resorted to ___64___ cellphone tracking of its population, weeks long lockdowns of neighborhoods and cities and costly mass testing ___65___ even the smallest outbreaks.

On the first Saturday of the COVID-19 lockdown, I wanted to be a good ___4___ to them. The pandemic seemed to be getting worse. I ___5___ what the weeks and months ahead might look like. Our family have been trying to take the idea of “love the neighbour” ___6___, and sometimes that does literally mean the person living next door, ___7___ you’ve only met them from the kitchen window.
So I made a sign reading “Have a nice day!” and stuck it on my kitchen window. A while later, a sign appeared on their window with a ___8___ for us. “Thank you. You too!”
We went on like this for a few days and I thought of how this would be a nice story for us all: ___9___ by signs and moving from strangers to good friends. ____10____ around Day 5, I posted a line of a Mary Oliver poem, and that was the ____11____ of that. Maybe I was showing off, so I stopped. However, a week later, when I went out to quiet our yelling dog, I saw one of the guys. “Sorry, we didn’t find a ____12____,” he said. “We meant to,” he added. “And then we never ____13____.”“That’s okay,” I replied. And we both went back inside.
It is so ____14____ to be a good neighbour now. We can’t ____15____ and knock on a door, or even lend things. After this is all over, I have decided I will invite all our neighbors over for dinner. I can’t be a neighbour now, but I can be a neighbour then. The pandemic will have knitted us together like an old worn sock and we’ll stay that way.
