23、s essential to our ability to growDo we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, then we tend to take more changes and to be more open to unfamiliar experiencesDo we think were shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know
24、 the ground is safeDo we think were slow to adapt to change or that were not smart enough to deal with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at allThese feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow If we do

31、matomcomForward:Subject: Re: Tell me about your school lifeDear Joy,I was very glad to receive your letter on January 11thAt your request, Ill tell something about my school life_Yours ever,Li Ming参考答案一、 【答案解析】1D。achieve a lot：取得许多成就、成绩。A: earn a lot：挣了许多钱， B: gain a lot：得到了许多；C: win a lot：赢得了许多。2B。
32、考查 remember 的用法。从后半句推出 pay 这个动作发生过，故在 A、B 中选。又 pay 是及物动词，如选主动式，则缺宾语。3C。require sthof / from sb：要求某人给予4C。though 用于句末，作“但是”解。5A。faraway：adj, 作定语用，far away：adv ，作状语用。6A。前后做不同的事，故用 go on to do sth7D。Better = Had better, 后接动词原形。8A。从句中一个 now 可知：前半句讲过去习惯，用 used to do, 后半句讲现在，用 be used to （doing） sth9C。to b
33、uy 表示 spend sth的目的。10A。do 在这里是强调 “do”，用于强调句子的谓语动词，强调 “do”有人称和时态的变化。根据宾语从句中的 will 可知答案是 A。11D。考查 keep 用法。keep sbdoing sth中， sb与 doing 是主动关系，keep sbdone 中，sb与done 是被动关系。12C。teach 后接双宾语。13C。考查定语从句，that 在句中作宾语用。14A。way 作 “方式”解，后面 he said it 作 way 的定语，省略引导词 that 或 in which。15D。考查 compare，主句主语 she 与 compa
34、re 是主动关系，故用现在分词 comparing。二、 【答案解析】16C。本题考查副词词义辨析及学生依据语境选用恰当副词的能力。从后面的句子可以知道 Tim Becker去买东西时不只是从家到商店直来直去，而是还要在居民区里巡视，所以应选用副词 just。17A。 本题考查学生根据上下文判断并选择恰当副词来修饰动词的能力。学生此处要考虑 Tim 是怎样在居民区巡视的，从整篇文章可以看出，Tim 对居民区的保卫工作很负责任，同时下面一句也讲到他对发生的任何可疑情况都很注意，所以可以判定 Tim 总是“looks carefully” ，而不是其他。18B。本题考查考生根据上下文对所给形容词做
35、出判断选择的能力。Tim 是为了社区安全进行巡视，应注意一些可疑情况，且后面举的例子也是一些反常情况，属于“unusual”。19D。本题考查学生根据上下文进行判断选择的能力，前面提到的“anything unusual”为本题设立了前提，那么选 A、B、C，即“ 拉着窗帘的窗户、开着的窗户、旧的窗户”都不属于“unusual” ，而选择 D， “打破的窗户”应为最佳答案。20B。本题考查动词词意的辨析。Tim 与 watch group 的关系应是其中的一个成员，因此应选“belong to，属于”。21A。本题考查根据上下文做出判断及动词词意的辨析。此题的提示在后面一句，即“Tim get
36、s together with”，所以本句应理解为 “社区巡视组的成员每月的第三个星期三会面一次。 ” 22C。本题考查学生对文章的准确理解并做出判断的能力。句中“that”一词对此题的选择至关重要，that指“每月第三个星期三会面”，接下来应理解为“ 那是 Tim 和其他成员交流讨论情况的时间”。23D。本题考查学生词意辨析和根据上下文进行判断的能力。如果学生能知道四个名词的意思，此题应该比较容易。根据文章的整体意思，显然他们讨论的是社区安全问题。24A。本题考查学生动词词意辨析及对句子的准确理解的能力。根据文章意思，巡视组应是帮助警察维护社区的安全，即“keepsafe”，此题的干扰项是
37、D，如果用“protect，保护”，虽然意思也正确，但不需要句子后面的 safe，两个词意思重复。25C。本题考查学生对句子的准确理解及判断的能力。此题的干扰项是 B，如果选 B，意思便是 Tim 的居住区，而 Tina（注意 Tina 是女的）是这个巡视组的组长，也应住在此居民区，所以应该用“their，他们的居民区”。26D。本题考查学生对一些句型的掌握及句意的理解。本句的意思是“人们好像觉得犯罪（案件）只是发生在别人身上，而不是发生在他们自己身上”。此处承前面的动词 happen，因此应该选“to”。27A。本题考查学生对词意的辨析及阅读理解能力。此句的意思是“我认为任何人都没有权力去偷
38、别人的东西或是使得别人坐在家都觉得不安全。 ”这里选用“任何人都没有机会勇气想法 ”都是不合适的。28B。本题考查根据上下文判断句意。如果有被偷窃的可能，人们或许也会感到不幸、失望或泄气，但本篇文章讲的是关于社区安全，所以选择感到不安全，更符合上下文的意思。29D。本题考查学生对一些常用动词短语的掌握。 set out 意为“出发”，let out 意为“发出”，hold out 意为“举出”，look out 意为“ 小心”。根据上下文判断，D 为正确答案。30C。本题考查动词词意辨析及在具体语境中的使用。根据上下文，最佳选择应是 watch，意为“巡视、留意（彼此的家） ”，而不是“介意”
39、“进入” 或“经营”（彼此的家） 。31A。本题考查的是一组名词的词意辨析。后面的 “four or five of us”决定了应是“a group of，一小组一小队”，而不是“a set of，一套”“a number of，若干个”或“a crowd of，一大群”。32B。本题考查学生根据上下文进行推理判断的能力。此题的提示在后面一句“For example，if，we report to the police ”这里的“For example”即把本题句子的内容具体化了，所以应选择“call the police”，而不是其他。33D。本题考查学生根据上下文进行推理判断的能力。因为
40、“we report to the police”，所以应是出现一些不良现象或犯罪情况，如：“someone destroying poverty”，因此应选择“look for trouble”，选项 B 的意思是“负担” ，此处也不合适。34D。 本题考查学生对文章的理解能力和根据上下文进行判断的能力。根据上下文，特别是后面一句中“agree”一词，说明 Alex 和她丈夫的观点是一致的，因此 19、20 两题相互提示、相互补充，那么在 19 题中应理解为“巡视小组对减少犯罪有很大帮助”，而不是“产生很多（A ） ”“发现很多（B） ”，或“得到很多（C） ”。35B。本题考查学生根据上下
41、文进行推理判断的能力。前面讲到巡视小组对控制犯罪帮助很大，此处接着阐述这一观点，即“警察（在维护治安中）很重要，但他们不可能做好一切。 ” 三、 【答案解析】（A）36B。文章讲的是两位同为邻居的男士晚上模仿猫头鹰的叫声，他们都以为得到了猫头鹰的回应，但是他们的妻子在交谈的时候把秘密揭开，他们把对方的叫声错误理解为猫头鹰的叫声，于是他们从此后不再模仿猫头鹰的叫声。 37A。Then the penny dropped 这句话是 MrSimmons 在知道事实真相后说的。意思是“ 我明白了”。38A。MrSimmons 在最初的时候惊喜地发现猫头鹰的存在，所以他才每晚到花园学猫头鹰，到后来发现是
42、他的邻居模仿猫头鹰的叫声。根据常识推理，令他感到不安是因为他以前做的事情是徒劳的。不是 B 项“因为他妻子偶然说出了秘密”，C 项“ 花园的猫头鹰叫声不同”，D 项“Fred 也像他那样做”。39B。Neil Simmons 原来以为他得到猫头鹰的回应，事实上回应的是他邻居模仿的声音，言下之意他根本没有收到猫头鹰的回应。Neil 既然可以模仿猫头鹰的声音，说明他常常听到猫头鹰的声音，所以A 项不对。C 项和 D 项答案从文章中推断不出来。（B）40C。第二段集中阐述把个人成长视为过程的人的观点。从最后一句“this process, the journey never really ends;
43、 there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept ”暗示C 为正确答案。41A。见上题解析。42D。第三段里详述了作者所提倡的有利于个人成长的东西，仅 D 项是作者所不赞成的。43B。考查主旨大意。文章一开始就提出了全文的关键句“There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process”。全文都是围绕这命题展开讨论的，所以 B 项作为本文的标题最合适。四
