蒂姆和他的邻居正在努力使他们的邻里变得无忧无虑、安全通畅。自然每当蒂姆开车出门购物时就不仅仅只是(notjust)开车去商店再开车回家，而是还有别的事情要做。notyet“尚未”；notjust“不仅仅；不只是”。2.A.carefullyB.clearlyC.nervouslyD.coldly答案：A 根据句意推断，他总是在邻里的街道上上下下仔细地(carefully)查看。carefully“小心地；谨慎地”；clearly“明显地；无疑地”；nervously“神经紧张地；不安地”；coldly“冷淡地”。3.A.familiarB.unusualC.expensiveD.interesting答案：B 该句指查看是否有像陌生的车子或喧哗的噪音之类的异常情况。4.A.curtainedB.openC.oldD.broken答案：D 与前面strangecars，loudnoises构成并列意义不应是开着的(open)、旧的(old)、挂有窗帘的(curtained)窗户，而是破了的(broken)窗户。5.A.attendsB.belongsC.goesD.turns答案：B 蒂姆属于一个邻里监护队。attendto“留心；护理”；belongto“属于”；goto“去；求助于”；turnto“转向；求助于”。6.A.meetsB.quarrelsC.singsD.searches答案：A 邻里监护队每月第三个周三碰头开会(meet)，而不是争吵(quarrel)、唱歌(sing)或搜查(search)。后文“getstogetherwithabouttenofhisneighbourstodiscusscommunitysafety”有所暗示。7.A.whereB.whyC.whenD.how答案：C 根据前文onthethirdWednesdayofeverymonth可知此处指时间。8.A.politicsB.wealthC.healthD.safety答案：D 从前文蒂姆的行为及本段最后的safe一词可以看出，他们聚集在一起研讨社区的安全(safety)问题，而非政治(politics)、健康(health)或财富(wealth)问题。9.A.keepB.holdC.letD.protect9\n答案：A “keep＋宾语＋adj.”表示“使……保持某种状态”。该句指帮助警察使(keep)他们的家、街道和家人安全。10.A.itsB.hisC.theirD.your答案：C 根据上下文推断，此处指“他们的(their)”邻里监护队的队长。11.A.roundB.onC.aboutD.to答案：D 承接前面的happentosb.结构，此处用介词to。12.A.rightB.chanceC.courageD.mind答案：A 根据句意推断，任何人都可能有机会(chance)、勇气(courage)或心思(mind)，但却没有权力(right)去偷别人的东西或使别人感到不安全。13.A.unluckyB.unsafeC.disappointedD.discouraged答案：B 该句表示“没有权力使别人坐在自己家里而感到不安全”，与前文偷东西等安全问题联系起来，就不可能是不幸(unlucky)、失望(disappointed)或泄气(discouraged)。14．A.setB.letC.holdD.look答案：D setout“出发；开始”；letout“发出”；holdout“坚持；伸出”；lookout“注意；留神”。根据上下文可知所有的邻居都要相互注意留神(lookout)，提高警惕。15.A.careB.enterC.watchD.manage答案：C 根据上下文推断，我们应该相互守护(watch)好彼此的家。前文已有所暗示，也与后文keepwatchon一致。care“注意；照料；关心”；enter“进入”；watch“注视；注意；看守；守护”；manage“管理；设法”。16.A.groupB.setC.numberD.crowd答案：A 前文已有暗示，四五个人形成一组/队(group)。17.A.judgesB.policeC.firemenD.doctors答案：B 如果看到有什么事情不对劲，就叫警察(police)，而不是叫法官(judge)、消防员(fireman)或是大夫(doctor)。前文“helpthepolicekeeptheirhomes，streets，andfamiliessafe”和后文“wereporttothepolice”有所暗示。18.A.workB.money9\nC.serviceD.trouble答案：D lookforservice“找服务”；lookfortrouble“找麻烦”；lookforwork“找工作”；lookformoney“找钱”。从上下文判断，该句指发现一群十几岁的孩子似乎想捣乱、想找麻烦(trouble)。19.A.produceB.findC.getD.help答案：D 在制止犯罪方面邻里监护队起到了辅助(help)的作用，充当了助手的功能，而不是生产(produce)、发现(find)或得到(get)什么。20.A.anythingB.everythingC.harmD.wrong答案：B 警察很好，但他们并不可能每件事情(everything)都做得到。anything与not连用表示全部否定；everything与not连用表示部分否定。doharm/wrong“伤害/做坏事”。Ⅳ.阅读理解Technologyhasentirelytransformedourabilitytocommunicatewitheachother.Linkingtoeachotherbothliterallyandfiguratively(形象地),manyofusconnectthroughcellphones,emails,instantmessages,blogs，andnetworkingwebsites,yetironicallywemaybelessconnectedtoeachotherthanwethink.AccordingtoastudytobepublishedtodayintheAmericanSociologicalReview,Americansarebecomingincreasinglysociallyisolated.Thestudyshows,forexample，thatonequarterofAmericanssaythattheyhavenoonetodiscussimportantpersonalissueswith,andthatthenumberofclosefriendsthatAmericanshavehasdroppedfromthreetotwo.Meanwhile,theBostonGlobereportsthatthisspreadingisolationisexperiencedmoreseriouslyamongthosewithlesseducation，peopleofcolor,andolderAmericans.Unsurprisingly,thosewhoareyoung,white,andwelleducatedtendtohavestrongersocialnetworks.FrommyownexperienceIhavetosaythatI'veneverfeltmoreconnected，thankstoaweboffriends,family,andcolleagues.OneofmyclosestfriendsissomeoneImetthroughanonlinediscussiongroupwholiveshundredsofmilesawayfromme.Wehavemetfacetofaceonlytwice,butourregularelectroniccorrespondence(通信)andcellphonecallssustainourclosefriendship.And,speakingofblogging,mybloghasintroducedmetopeopleIwouldneverhavemetotherwiseandhasledtoenduring(持久的)andimportantfriendships.Ontheotherhand，Irecentlysawascenariothatdemonstratedtomehowdeeply9\ndisconnectedweasAmericanshavebecome.Ihadjustwrappedupapresentationonmediationatafamilytherapy(治疗)center.AsIwasleaving，Inoticedamotherandherteenagesonwhohadjustcompletedtheirsessionwiththeirfamilytherapist.Aftermakingtheirnextappointment,theybothtookouttheircellphones,madecalls,andbeganloudconversationswithwhoeverwasontheotherend.Iwalkedoutbehindthemtotheparkinglottomycar.Theybothjumpedintotheircars,and,asIsawthemdriveoff，theywerestilltalkingontheircellphones.But，alas，nottoeachother.1.Whatdoesthepassageleadyoutobelieve?A.Americansaremoresociallyconnectedtoday.B.Americansaremoresociallyisolatedtoday.C.TechnologyplaysabiggerroleinAmericansociety.D.Americansdon'tmakegooduseoftechnology.答案：B
