解析：
【分析】
做完形填空首先要先通读全文，快速把握文章主旨：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者和热心友善的邻居史密斯太太的相处日常，传递了邻里温情、远亲不如近邻的核心主题。解题时优先结合前后文给出的线索推断答案，遇到涉及固定搭配的题目直接调用已学的短语规则排除错误选项，最后再把选好的答案代入全文通读，验证整体逻辑通顺即可。比如第一空后文直接点明史密斯太太是住在隔壁的人，直接就能对应到“邻居”的选项，后续的空也都可以顺着上下文的叙事线索逐一推导。
【解析】
1. 后文明确提到史密斯太太是住在作者隔壁的老人，对应“住在社区就意味着有邻居”，选A. neighbours；B学生、C志愿者、D工程师均不符合后文语境。
2. 空前and并列褒义形容词kind（友善的），此处选择同属性的褒义词，结合后文史密斯太太多次帮助作者的情节，选D. helpful乐于助人的；A脏的、B丑陋的、C生气的均为贬义，不符合人物设定。
3. 固定搭配greet sb with sth表示“用…问候某人”，此处指每次史密斯太太见到作者都会用温暖的微笑问候他，询问他一天过得如何，选C. greets；A放松、B帮助、D检查均不符合语境。
4. 固定搭配be filled with表示“充满”，此处指史密斯太太的前院总是开满五颜六色的花；A选项full的正确搭配是be full of，C、D选项语法结构不符合此处要求，故选B. filled。
5. 从自家花园里采摘的蔬菜自然是新鲜的，选B. fresh；A古老的、C整洁的、D干的均不符合常识和语境。
6. 史密斯太太主动送给作者家自家种的菜，一家人对她的慷慨心怀感激，固定搭配be grateful for表示“对…心怀感激”，选A. grateful；B善良的、C友好的、D礼貌的均不符合此处表意。
7. 固定搭配be busy doing sth表示“忙于做某事”，此处用动名词形式，选D. working。
8. 此处指史密斯太太注意到作者忘带钥匙进不了家门，主动邀请作者去自己家，选A. noticed；B购买、C担忧、D同意均不符合语境。
9. 前文提到作者的父母当时正忙于工作，作者忘带钥匙没法进门，所以是等待父母回家，选B. parents；A朋友、C猫、D老师均不符合前文设定。
10. 此处表意：拥有史密斯太太这样的好邻居让作者意识到，对身边的人友善、乐于助人是非常重要的，选B. important；A不公平的、C困难的、D简单的均不符合文意。
11. 前文讲述的都是史密斯太太释放善意的小事，此处指一个简单的微笑或者小小的善举就能带来很大的不同，act of kindness是固定表达“善举”，选D. kindness；A幸福、B悲伤、C懒惰均不符合语境。
12. 此处表意：住在社区里就像成为了一个大家庭的一份子，契合邻里温情的主题，选A. family；B俱乐部、C中心、D大学均不符合文意。
13. 邻居的定义就是住得离你很近的人，固定搭配close to表示“靠近、邻近”，选D. close；A在…后面、B在…下方、C在…上方均不符合邻居的属性。
14. 和邻居保持良好的关系能让生活更加愉快、平和，选A. enjoyable令人愉快的；B糟糕的、C有用的、D传统的均不符合正向的表意。
