【解析】本文记叙的是Tim Becker和他的邻居努力地使他们的邻里无烦无虑、安全通畅而做的一些工作。

1.考查副词。 Tim Becker和他的邻居正在尽力而为使他们的邻里无烦无虑，安全通畅。自然每每Tim Becker开车出门购物就不仅仅只是(not just)开车去开车会，而是还有别的事情要做。注意选项与not搭配及意义。not yet尚未； not still不动；not just不仅仅，不只是；not rather不愿。

2.考查副词。 他总是在邻里的街道上上下下仔细地(carefully)查看。 carefully小心地, 谨慎地；clearly明显地，无疑地；nervously神经紧张地，不安地；coldly冷淡地。

3.考查形容词。 查看是否有象陌生的也许昂贵的(expensive)车子或喧哗的噪音之类的不熟悉的(familiar)，令他感兴趣的(interesting)，而异常的(unusual)任何事情。familiar熟悉的, 常见的, 听惯的；unusual不平常的, 与众不同的, 异常的;  expensive花费的, 昂贵的；interesting有趣味的, 引起好奇/注意的。注意such as后跟名词作同位语。

4.考查形容词。与前面strange cars, loud noises构成并列意义不应是开着的(open)、旧的(old)、挂有窗帘的(curtained)窗户，而是破了的(broken)窗户。

5.考查动词。 Tim Becker 属于一个邻里监护队。attend to留心，照顾, 护理；belong to属于，归属于；go to相当于，促成，付出，求助于；turn to转向，求取于，变成，开始工作。

6.考查动词。 邻里监护队每月第三个周二碰头开会(meet)，而不是争吵(quarrel)，唱歌(sing)，调查(search)。后文gets together with about ten of his neighbors to discuss community safety 有所暗示。

7.考查连词。前后照应 根据前文on the third Wednesday of every month 作出判断，可以得出选择。

8.考查名词。 从前文Tim Becker的行为可以看出，他们聚集在一起研讨社区的安全(safety)问题，而非政治(politics)，健康(health)，财富(wealth)问题。    

9.考查动词。 帮助警察以便使(keep)他们的家、街道和家人的安全.此句的结构为V+宾语+形容词。keep sb.+ adj.使某人怎么样，保持某一状态；hold保存，保留；let允许，让；protect保护，保卫；后三者均不用于此结构。

10.考查代词。 他们的(their)邻里监护队的队长。

11.考查介词。 sth happen to sb.为固定结构，but not表示并列，后跟相同搭配。

12.考查名词。 任何人都可能有机会(chance)、勇气(courage)和心思(mind)，但却没有权力(right)去偷别人的东西或使别人感到不安全。

13.考查形容词。 没有权力使别人坐在自己家里而感到不安全，与前文偷东西等安全问题联系起来，就不可能是幸运(unlucky)与否，失望(disappointed)与否，灰心沮丧(discouraged)与否的问题。  

14.考查动词。 所有的邻居都要相互注意留神(look out)，提高警惕。set out出发, 开始，摆出, 陈列；let out放宽(衣服)；出租(车、马等)；hold out给予，坚持，忍耐；伸出；look out注意，留神。

15.考查动词。我们应该相互看护(watch)好相互的家。前文已有所暗示，与后文keep watch on一致。care注意, 照料，关心；enter进入，加入；watch 注视，注意，看守, 守护, 监视；manage管理, 控制。

16.考查名词。前文已有所暗示。四、五个人形成一组/队(group)。group组, 团, 群，通常指人组成的群体，成员可多可少；set套, 副, 批，通常指成套组装的东西；number数, 数字；crowd人群, 群众, 一堆(东西)，通常指拥挤的人群。

17.考查名词。 如果看到有什么事情不对劲，就叫其职责是处理日常安全事务的警察(police)，而不一定叫法官(judge)，fireman(消防员)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已经有所暗示。

18.考查名词。发现一群十几岁的孩子似乎想捣乱，想找麻烦(trouble)。look for service找服务；look for trouble找麻烦；look for work找工作；burden负担，重任，要点，主题，通常不与look for连用且与文意不符。

19.考查动词。 在制止犯罪方面邻里监护队起到了辅助(help)的作用，充当了助手的功能，而不是制造(produce)，发现(find)或得到(get)什么。      

20.考查代词。 警察很好，但他们并不可能每件事情(everything)都做得到。anything与not连用表示全部否定；everything与not连用表示部分否定。do harm/wrong(to sb.)伤害/委屈某人。
