解析:

36.just在這里等于only(僅僅)。從下文看，Tim是社區(qū)治安隊(duì)隊(duì)員,他開車買東西時(shí)，不只是去商店，然后回家……。yet然而；still仍然；rather相當(dāng)。答案為C。

37.從上下文可知，Tim是治安聯(lián)保隊(duì)隊(duì)員。他在開車買東西時(shí)，仔細(xì)地觀察周圍的情況，以便發(fā)現(xiàn)問題。clearly清楚地；nervously緊張地；coldly冷靜地。答案為A。

38.unusual為“異常的”，只有發(fā)生了不正常的事才表明出現(xiàn)了問題，如陌生的車輛、大的噪音、破碎的窗子或者人們聚集在街頭等。A項(xiàng)表示“熟悉的”；C項(xiàng)“昂貴的”和D項(xiàng)“有趣的”，都與文章不符。答案為B。

39.拉上窗簾的窗戶(curtained windows)、開著的窗戶(open windows)或舊的窗戶(old windows)都不能說明發(fā)生了意外的事。只有破碎的窗戶(broken windows)才可能發(fā)生了意外的事。答案為D。 

40.belongs to屬于。從上下文可知，Tim是Stoneville,Indians,USA的治安聯(lián)保隊(duì)隊(duì)員。attend to“照料”；“go to”與文意不符；turn to表“轉(zhuǎn)向”。答案為B。

41.A項(xiàng)表示“碰頭，聚在一起開會”，從下文中的discuss一詞可知，他們在每月的第三個(gè)星期三舉行會議，討論社區(qū)的安全問題。quarrels吵架；searches搜查，均不合語意。sings更不合文意。答案為A。 

42.這是一個(gè)表語從句。that指代的是他們開會的時(shí)間，所以填when。而where,why,how文章沒提到。答案為C。 

43.safety”為“安全”之意，因?yàn)橹伟猜?lián)保隊(duì)的目的是保衛(wèi)社區(qū)的安全，所以他們討論的是社區(qū)的安全問題。而不會討論政治(politics)、財(cái)產(chǎn)(wealth)或健康(health)問題。答案為D。 

44.protect有很大的迷惑性，許多考生沒有注意這個(gè)句子的結(jié)構(gòu)，而誤選了protect。在這個(gè)句子中，their homes,streets,and families作賓語，safe作賓語補(bǔ)足語。只有keep能構(gòu)成這種結(jié)構(gòu)，意思是：保衛(wèi)他們住房、街道和家庭成員的安全。答案為A。 

45.一個(gè)社區(qū)是有許多住戶組成的，所以要填their。答案為C。

46. happen to sb.“某人發(fā)生了某事，固定搭配”。but連接的成分與前面(to other people)相同，所以要填介詞to。人們似乎認(rèn)為，犯罪發(fā)生在別人身上而不會發(fā)生在自己身上。答案為D。 

47.right作名詞的意思是“權(quán)力”。任何人都沒有偷別人東西的權(quán)力。B為“機(jī)會”；C為“勇氣”；D為“思想”，均不合文意。答案為A。

48.unsafe為“不安全”的意思，全文討論的是保衛(wèi)社區(qū)安全問題。但是我認(rèn)為，任何人都沒有偷別人的東西或使別人家里感到不安全的權(quán)力。unlucky不幸的；disappointed失望的；discouraged泄氣的，均不合語意。答案為B。 

49.look out 注意。為了保證社區(qū)的安全，鄰居們都互相注意對方的安全問題。set out出發(fā)；let out發(fā)出；hold out給予，均不合語意。答案為D。

50.watch one's homes看家。鄰居們互相看家。care作及物動詞時(shí)的意思是“介意；計(jì)較”，enter進(jìn)入;manage管理。都不符合短文的內(nèi)容。答案為C。 

51.a group of一組；一群。平常人們?nèi)�五個(gè)人結(jié)隊(duì)而行。a set of的意思是“一套”。a number of許多；a crowd of人群。這兩個(gè)短語都不和含有數(shù)詞的賓語連用。因?yàn)檫@句話中有數(shù)詞，所以不能作為答案。答案為A。 

52.一旦發(fā)生問題要和警察取得聯(lián)系。根據(jù)上下文，涉及安全，應(yīng)找警察。A為“法官”；C為“消防隊(duì)員”；D為“醫(yī)生”，均不合文意。答案為B。

53.  looking for trouble找麻煩。當(dāng)他們注意到一伙年輕人在找麻煩或有人損壞財(cái)產(chǎn)，他們就會向警察報(bào)告�！發(fā)ook for work”找工作；B為“負(fù)擔(dān)”；C為“服務(wù)”，根據(jù)上下文應(yīng)是“麻煩”。答案為D。 

54.社區(qū)治安聯(lián)保隊(duì)起到了很大的作用，他們幫助警察使犯罪率下降。答案為D。 

55.“not everything”為部分否定，雖然警察在保衛(wèi)人們的財(cái)產(chǎn)和生命安全方面起到了很大作用，但是他們也不可能什么事都能做到。所以Jim說：“警察都是些好人，但是他們不可能做所有事情�！倍�“do harm”表示“傷害”，“do wrong”表示“做錯事”。答案為B。
