解析:
16．C。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。
17．A。 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。
18．B。本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”。
19．D。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。
20．B。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”。
21．A。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 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。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”。
23．D。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。
24．A。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“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。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”。
26．D。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”。
27．A。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。
28．B。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。
29．D。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。
30．C。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”“进入”或“经营”（彼此的家）。
31．A。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”。
32．B。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。
33．D。本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”，此处也不合适。
34．D。 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）”。
35．B。本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。”

| Here's a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly. Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods - even if you also exercise regularly - could be 1 for your health. And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place - at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV - just the overall number of hours it 2 . Research is preliminary, but several studies 3 people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die. In an editorial 4 this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define 5 activity to highlight the dangers of sitting. While health officials have issued guidelines 6 minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven't suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated 7 . "After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send 8 signals," Ekblom-Bak said. She explained that genes regulating the amount of glucose and fat in the 9 start to shut down. Even for people who 10 , spending long stretches of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day - 11 still spend a lot of time sitting - might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the day, 12 in a single bout. That wasn't 13 news for Aytekin Can, 31, who works at a London financial company, and spends most of his days sitting 14 a computer. Several evenings a week, Can also teaches jiu jitsu, a Japanese martial art 15 wrestling, and also does Thai boxing. "I'm sure there are some detrimental 16 of staying still for too long, but I hope that being 17 when I can helps," he said. "I wouldn't want to think the sitting could be _18 dangerous." Still, in a study published last year that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat 19 had a higher death risk, independently of whether or not they exercised. Figures from a US survey in 2003-2004 found Americans spend more than half their time sitting, from working at their desks to sitting in cars. Experts said more research is needed to 20 just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects. | ||||
