There are two basic ways to see growth:one as a product,the other as a process.People have generally viewed personal growth as a(n) (31)F result or product that can easily be identified and measured.The worker who gets a promotion,the student whose grades improve,the foreigner who learns a new language-all these are examples of people who have    measurable results to show for their efforts.
By  (32)A,the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine,since by definition 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 we  (33)I new experiences and unexpected obstacles.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  (34)Eto take risks.And we are supposed to be ready to face the  (35)B,and to accept the possibility that we 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 perceive ourselves as quick and curious?If so,then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences.Do we think we're  (36)J and shy?Then our  (37)G of shyness 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 cope with a new challenge?Then we are likely to take a more
(38)K 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.We will  (39)H to grow,if we do not confront and overcome these internal fears and doubts,and if we protect ourselves too much.We become  (40)Cinside a shell of our own making.

分析 个人的成长有两种方式,一是个人所取得的成就,二是追求的是过程.并通过分析告诉我们个人的成长其实是一种人生的态度.

解答 31.F 32.A 33.I 34.E 35.B 36.J 37.G 38.K 39.H 40.C
31.F 考查形容词.根据后面的 product that can easily be identified and measured可知,个人的成长被看成是一种外在的结果或者很容易识别的产品,故答案为F.
32.A 考查名词.通过上段的介绍可知,认为个人成长是一种可以衡量的收获,实际上并非如此,by contrast,相比之下,个人成长很难决定,故答案为A.
33.I 考查动词,这句话告诉我们个人的成长其实是我们在遇到事情时候的一种态度,故答案为I.
34.E 考查名词.willingness是名词,意思是愿意,为了成长人们需要愿意承担风险,故答案为E.
35.B 考查形容词.此处the unknown意思是指一切未知的事情.
36.J  考查形容词.根据句子里的shy可知,所填形容词为indecisive,意思是犹豫不决,故答案为J.
37.G 考查名词.a sense of shyness意思是害羞感,句意为我们的害羞感会让我们忧郁、行动迟缓,故答案为G.
38.K 考查形容词.由前面的内容可知,当我们犹豫不决的时候,就更有可能采取被动消极的态度,故答案为K.
39.H  考查动词.根据if we do not confront and overcome these internal fears and doubts,如果我们不客服这些内在的恐惧和怀疑,我们将停止成长,故答案为H.
40.C 考查非谓语.根据最后一句if we protect ourselves too much如果我们过多保护自己,我们就会作茧自缚,故答案为C.

点评 在做选词填空题时,很重要的一点就是要确认空格处所要填的词的词性,然后根据句子的法则,也是就是句法来判断所要填的词.

4.For many parents,raising a teenager is like fighting a long war,but years go by without any clear winner.Like a border conflict(边境冲突) between neighboring countries,the parent-teen war is about boundaries:Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace,but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict.In part,this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it.From the parents'point of view,the only cause of their fight is their adolescents'complete unreasonableness.And of course,the teens see it in exactly the same way,except oppositely. Both feel trapped.
In this article,I'll describe three no-win situations that commonly appear between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things.Examples include the color of the teen's hair,the cleanliness of the bedroom,the preferred style of clothing,the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school,or his tendency(趋势) to sleep until noon on the weekends.Second,blaming.The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong.Third,needing to be right.It doesn't matter what the topic is-politics,the laws of physics,or the proper way to break an egg-the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong,for both wish to be considered an authority-someone who actually knows something-and therefore to command respect.Unfortunately,as long as parents and teens continue to assume(假设) that they know more than the other,they'll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.

A.Both can continue for generations.
B.Bot h are about where to draw the line.
C.Neither has any clear winner.

B.The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
C.The teens scold their parents for misleading them.
D.The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
27.Parents and teens want to be right because they want toC.
A.give orders to the other                   
B.know more than the other 
C.gain respect from the other                
D.get the other to behave properly
28.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?C
A.Causes for the parent-teen conflicts.
B.Examples of the parent-teen war.
C.Solutions to the parent-teen problems.
D.Future of the parent-teen relationship.
