问题     Outwardly you may be on friendly terms with the people next door, but, if the truth (31) known, you would not think much of them. Their ways may be (32) enough, but they are not your ways. It is not hatred, far (33) envy; neither is it contempt exactly. Only you do not understand why they live as they (34). You (35) people by (36) social background. They were not brought up as you were—not that they are to blame for that, but certain advantages that you had were (37) by them. Rude noises come from that house next door that you would not (38) from respectable people. Laughter late (39) night, when you want to sleep—how coarse next door always (40), and what a (41) of songs! Why do they never try a new one? There (42) be new songs from time to time but you never hear them next door. Then there is that young woman who sings! What voices the people next door have. After a song is (43) it goes on next door. A popular song never dies. The people next door rescue it after it has been hounded off the street and warm it into (44) life. And so it goes. Everything they do shows just what sort of people they are. (45) at the things they hang out in their garden. If your things looked like that you would at (46) keep them indoors. It is not that they are so old, but they were chosen with (47) monstrously bad (48) in the first place. What in the world do people want to (49) a house with things like that for? They must have cost enough, too, and for that amount of money they could have bought—but what is the (50) of talking? There are distinctions that you never can make people feel.

选项

答案respectable/nice/decent

解析 根据整句的意思,转折连词but表明前后两个句子意义相反,从语义连贯的角度来看,该空应该是表示褒义的形容词,而且可修饰后面的ways。所以填respectable/nice/decent均可。与文章第一句的friendly相照应。
