三、阅读理解
〔A〕
Every night for a year, Neil Simons quietly went out of his house．He wanted to “talk〞

Last year Fred Cornes moved in next door．He heard an owl hooting and answered back．For
12 months the neighbors got into the back gardens of their homes, thinking they were talking with nature．Mr．Simmons kept a diary of all his talks with his bird friend．They would both
be out again tonight if it wasn’t for a chance talk between their wives．
Mr．Simmons said．“My wife Kim was telling Fred’s wife Wendy about my owl watching and described how I got the birds to boot back．She said, ‘That’s funny —that’s just what Fred has been doing．’ Then the penny dropped, I felt such a fool when I found out．The trouble is
that owl calls aren’t exactly the same and it’s easy to make a mistake．〞Mr．Cornes said, “I’m really flattered 〔过奖〕．I didn’t know I sounded so real．I love nature and I couldn’t resist hooting at the owls．I was very excited when they hooted back．I’m sorry that I was fooling my neighbor who was fooling me．〞

〔B〕
There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process．People have generally viewed personal growth as an external 〔外在的〕 result or a product that can easily be identified and measured．The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, and the foreigner who learns a new language—all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts．
By contrast 〔对照〕, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way．The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties．In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept．
In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail〞 at first．How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow．Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, then we tend to take more changes and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences．Do we think we’re 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 the ground is safe．Do we think we’re slow to adapt to change or that we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all．
These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow．If we do not face and overcome these internal fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing．We become trapped inside a shell of our own making．40．In the aut hor’s eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would __________．A．succeed in climbing up the social ladder
B．judge his ability to grow from his own achievements
C．face difficulties and take up challenges
D．aim high and reach his goal each time
41．Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growth?
A．Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges．
B．Little Tom won the first prize in the Speech Contest．
C．Max picked up French while he was in Paris．
D．Da ddy’s salary rose from $3,000 to $3,800．
42．About personal growth, the author advocates all of the following except _________．A．curiosity about more changes
B．quickness in self-adaptation
C．open-mindedness to new experiences
D．avoidance of internal fears and doubts
43．The best title for this passage should be _________．
A．Facing new challenges
B．Growth ―product or process
C．Unavoidable feeling of self-doubt
D．Overcoming internal fears
四、非选择题
书面表达
假设你是江苏南通某中学高三学生李明，你于2008年1月11日收到了居住在澳门的笔友Joy Nelson 寄来的一封信，请您仔细阅读他的邮件并回一封邮件给他。

注意： 1．回信的内容必须包括对方想要了解的全部情况。

2．词数在100左右。

参考答案
一、【答案解析】
1．D。

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。

2．B。

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，那么缺宾语。

3．C。

require sth．of / from sb．：要求某人给予……
4．C。

though用于句末，作“但是〞解。

5．A。

faraway：adj．, 作定语用，far away：adv．，作状语用。

6．A。

前后做不同的事，故用go on to do sth．
7．D。

Better = Had better, 后接动词原形。

8．A。

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〕 sth．
9．C。

to buy表示spend sth．的目的。

10．A。

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。

11．D。

考查keep用法。

keep sb．doing sth．中， sb．与doing 是主动关系，keep sb．done中，sb．与done 是被动关系。

12．C。

teach 后接双宾语。

13．C。

考查定语从句，that在句中作宾语用。

14．A。

way作“方式〞解，后面he said it作way的定语，省略引导词that 或in which。

15．D。

考查compare，主句主语she与compare是主动关系，故用现在分词comparing。

二、【答案解析】
16．C。

此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。

17．A。

此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。

18．B。

此题考查考生根据上下文对所给形容词做出判断选择的能力。

Tim是为了社区平安进行巡视，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〞。

19．D。

此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〞为此题设立了前提，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〞应为最正确答案。

20．B。

此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〞。

21．A。

此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 gets 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。

〞
22．C。

此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〞。

23．D。

此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，此题应该比拟容易。

根据文章的整体意思，显然他们讨论的是社区平安问题。

24．A。

此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平安，即“keep…safe〞，此题的干扰项是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。

25．C。

此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〞。

26．D。

此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“人们好似觉得犯罪〔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〞。

27．A。

此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别人的东西或是使得别人坐在家都觉得不平安。

〞这里选用“任何人都没有时机／勇气／想法……〞都是不适宜的。

28．B。

此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平安，所以选择感到不平安，更符合上下文的意思。

29．D。

此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。

30．C。

此题考查动词词意辨析及在具体语境中的使用。

根据上下文，最正确选择应是watch，意为“巡视、留意〔彼此的家〕〞，而不是“介意〞“进入〞或“经营〞〔彼此的家〕。

31．A。

此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，假设干个〞或“a crowd of，一大群〞。

32．B。

此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〞即把此题句子的内容具体化了，所以应选择“call the police〞，而不是其他。

33．D。

此题考查学生根据上下文进行推理判断的能力。

因为“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〞，此处也不适宜。

34．D。

此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〕〞。

35．B。

此题考查学生根据上下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〕
36．B。

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。

37．A。

Then the penny dropped这句话是Mr．Simmons在知道事实真相后说的。

意思是“我明白了〞。

38．A。

Mr．Simmons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〞。

39．B。

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〕
40．C。

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; 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。

41．A。

见上题解析。

42．D。

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。

43．B。

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适宜。

四、【书面表达】
