Tina Stedman , president of  45  neighborhood watch group , agrees with Tim . “People seem to think that crime(犯罪) happens to other people but not  46  them. Well , it’s never happened to me,” she said, “but I don’t think anyone has the 47  to steal from other people or to make them feel  48 sitting in their own homes.

Alex, a member of the group, said that all the neighbors  49  out for one another. “We 50 each other’s homes. We keep watch on the neighborhood at night and on weekends .Usually a 51  of four or five of us goes out together. If something doesn’t look right, then we call the 52  .

【解析】本文記敘的是Tim Becker和他的鄰居努力地使他們的鄰里無煩無慮、安全通暢而做的一些工作。

1.考查副詞。 Tim Becker和他的鄰居正在盡力而為使他們的鄰里無煩無慮，安全通暢。自然每每Tim Becker開車出門購物就不僅僅只是(not just)開車去開車會，而是還有別的事情要做。注意選項與not搭配及意義。not yet尚未； not still不動；not just不僅僅，不只是；not rather不愿。

2.考查副詞。 他總是在鄰里的街道上上下下仔細地(carefully)查看。 carefully小心地, 謹慎地；clearly明顯地，無疑地；nervously神經緊張地，不安地；coldly冷淡地。

3.考查形容詞。 查看是否有象陌生的也許昂貴的(expensive)車子或喧嘩的噪音之類的不熟悉的(familiar)，令他感興趣的(interesting)，而異常的(unusual)任何事情。familiar熟悉的, 常見的, 聽慣的；unusual不平常的, 與眾不同的, 異常的;  expensive花費的, 昂貴的；interesting有趣味的, 引起好奇/注意的。注意such as后跟名詞作同位語。

4.考查形容詞。與前面strange cars, loud noises構成并列意義不應是開著的(open)、舊的(old)、掛有窗簾的(curtained)窗戶，而是破了的(broken)窗戶。

5.考查動詞。 Tim Becker 屬于一個鄰里監(jiān)護隊。attend to留心，照顧, 護理；belong to屬于，歸屬于；go to相當于，促成，付出，求助于；turn to轉向，求取于，變成，開始工作。

6.考查動詞。 鄰里監(jiān)護隊每月第三個周二碰頭開會(meet)，而不是爭吵(quarrel)，唱歌(sing)，調查(search)。后文gets together with about ten of his neighbors to discuss community safety 有所暗示。

7.考查連詞。前后照應 根據前文on the third Wednesday of every month 作出判斷，可以得出選擇。

8.考查名詞。 從前文Tim Becker的行為可以看出，他們聚集在一起研討社區(qū)的安全(safety)問題，而非政治(politics)，健康(health)，財富(wealth)問題。    

9.考查動詞。 幫助警察以便使(keep)他們的家、街道和家人的安全.此句的結構為V+賓語+形容詞。keep sb.+ adj.使某人怎么樣，保持某一狀態(tài)；hold保存，保留；let允許，讓；protect保護，保衛(wèi)；后三者均不用于此結構。

10.考查代詞。 他們的(their)鄰里監(jiān)護隊的隊長。

11.考查介詞。 sth happen to sb.為固定結構，but not表示并列，后跟相同搭配。

12.考查名詞。 任何人都可能有機會(chance)、勇氣(courage)和心思(mind)，但卻沒有權力(right)去偷別人的東西或使別人感到不安全。

13.考查形容詞。 沒有權力使別人坐在自己家里而感到不安全，與前文偷東西等安全問題聯系起來，就不可能是幸運(unlucky)與否，失望(disappointed)與否，灰心沮喪(discouraged)與否的問題。  

14.考查動詞。 所有的鄰居都要相互注意留神(look out)，提高警惕。set out出發(fā), 開始，擺出, 陳列；let out放寬(衣服)；出租(車、馬等)；hold out給予，堅持，忍耐；伸出；look out注意，留神。

15.考查動詞。我們應該相互看護(watch)好相互的家。前文已有所暗示，與后文keep watch on一致。care注意, 照料，關心；enter進入，加入；watch 注視，注意，看守, 守護, 監(jiān)視；manage管理, 控制。

16.考查名詞。前文已有所暗示。四、五個人形成一組/隊(group)。group組, 團, 群，通常指人組成的群體，成員可多可少；set套, 副, 批，通常指成套組裝的東西；number數, 數字；crowd人群, 群眾, 一堆(東西)，通常指擁擠的人群。

17.考查名詞。 如果看到有什么事情不對勁，就叫其職責是處理日常安全事務的警察(police)，而不一定叫法官(judge)，fireman(消防員)或是大夫(doctor)。前文help the police keep their homes, streets, and families safe和后文we report to the police已經有所暗示。

18.考查名詞。發(fā)現一群十幾歲的孩子似乎想搗亂，想找麻煩(trouble)。look for service找服務；look for trouble找麻煩；look for work找工作；burden負擔，重任，要點，主題，通常不與look for連用且與文意不符。

19.考查動詞。 在制止犯罪方面鄰里監(jiān)護隊起到了輔助(help)的作用，充當了助手的功能，而不是制造(produce)，發(fā)現(find)或得到(get)什么。      

20.考查代詞。 警察很好，但他們并不可能每件事情(everything)都做得到。anything與not連用表示全部否定；everything與not連用表示部分否定。do harm/wrong(to sb.)傷害/委屈某人。
