Question

There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external(外部的) 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 contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts (路標)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 they go through new experiences and unexpected obstacles(阻礙). 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 willingness to take risks, to be faced with the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential(基本的) to our ability to grow.
These feelings of insecurity and self – doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not face and overcome these internal(內(nèi)部的) fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we cease（停止) to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.

試題分析：本文是一篇講述人生哲理的文章，人們看待成長或增長有兩種基本方法，一個是產(chǎn)品，一個就是過程，人們往往把個人的成長看作是外部的結果或者是能夠被確認或測量的產(chǎn)品，相反，個人的成長過程是很難定義的，那不想實際存在的東西能夠看得到，人生的成長就像旅行永遠沒有端點，人們要不斷的去經(jīng)歷新的事物，在此過程中有難以預料的困難，但要去面對，否則就不會有進步。
小題1: A細節(jié)理解題。People have generally viewed personal growth as an external(外部的) result or product that can easily be identified and measured.句意為：人們通�？磦�人的成長看作是外部取得的結果或能夠被確認或衡量的產(chǎn)品。根據(jù)這句話的意思可知，一個人成功的戒掉煙是取得的一個結果，是人成長的標志。故答案為A。
小題2:C細節(jié)推斷題。The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they go through new experiences and unexpected obstacles(阻礙). 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.句意為：這個過程并不是一條路本身，而是人們所擁有的感受和態(tài)度，當他們經(jīng)受新的經(jīng)歷或不可預料的障礙時，他們的謹慎或勇氣。在此過程中，旅程從來沒有終點，總是有經(jīng)歷世界的新方法，要去接受新的挑戰(zhàn)。所以這個過程就是要去面對困難和接受挑戰(zhàn)。故答案應為C。
小題3: B句意理解題。How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential(基本的) to our ability to grow. 我們要去嘗試一種新的_____方式，對我們來說是能力增長的表現(xiàn)。所以這里應為去探索世界的新方法，故答案應為B.
小題4:D文意推論題。These feelings of insecurity and self – doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not face and overcome these internal(內(nèi)部的) fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we cease（停止) to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.句意為：不安全感和自我懷疑的是可避免的感受，如果我們不能克服這些內(nèi)部的恐懼和懷疑，如果我們太多的保護自己，那么我們就停止了成長，就陷入到了自己做的貝殼里面。故答案應為D。我們不能躲避內(nèi)心的恐懼和懷疑。
