     1. There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. ____________________. 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.

[A] People have generally viewed personal growth as an external result or product that can easily be identified and measured.

[B] The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have,

their caution or courage, as they encounter new experiences and unexpected obstacles.

Wild Bill Donovan would have loved the Internet. ... These days the Net, which has already remade such everyday pastimes as buying books and sending mail, is reshaping Donovan's vocation as well .

____________________. In the past three or four years, the World Wide Web has given birth to a whole industry of point-and-click spying. The spooks call it “open-source intelligence”, and as the Net grows, it is becoming increasingly influential.

承上啟下

[A] Stratford president George Friedman says he sees the online world as a kind of mutually reinforcing tool for both information collection and distribution, a spymaster's dream.

[B] The latest revolution isn't simply a matter of gentlemen reading other gentlemen's e-mail. That kind of electronic spying has been going on for decades .

【答案】[A]。此題若根據(jù)空格前的內容無法做出選擇，因為[A]、[B]兩選項恰好分別是空格前提到的對成長的兩種基本看法之中的一種，所以解題的關鍵是空格后的內容。空格后列舉的幾個例子顯然是對“結果”的認可，所以此處應該選[A]，意思是：一般說來，人們把成長看作是易于識別和測量的外在結果。[B]是對過程的闡述，放在此處不合適。

        2. A further stimulus to invention came from the “premium” system, which preceded our patent system and for years ran parallel with it. ____________________.

In the United States, multitudes of premiums for new devices were awarded at country fairs and at the industrial fairs in major cities. Americans flocked to these fairs to admire the new machines and thus to renew their faith in the beneficence of technological advance.

[A] This approach, originated abroad, offered inventors medals, cash prizes and other incentives.

[B] This nonverbal “spatial” thinking can be just as creative as painting and writing.

所屬關系

[A] This approach, originated abroad, offered inventors medals, cash prizes and other incentives.

[B] This nonverbal “spatial” thinking can be just as creative as painting and writing.

【答案】[A]。空格前的“ ‘premium' system”給我們的解題提供了線索，[A]中的“medals, cash prizes and other incentives”都屬于這個范疇，故為答案。[B]中主要是關于“ ‘spatial' thinking”的內容，與上下文無關。

3. It was 3: 45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken. ____________________. The measure passed by the convincing vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, executive director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on via the group's on line service, Death NET. Says Hofsess: “We posted bulletins all day long, because of course this isn't just something that happened in Australia. It's world history.”

[A] Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death — probably by a deadly injection or pill — to put an end to suffering.

[B] After six months of arguing and final 16 hours of hot parliamentary debates, Australia's Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die.

【答案】[B]。段首只一句話但已經(jīng)給解題提供了線索。“vote”對本題的選擇至關重要。空格處一定是對“vote”結果的具體闡述。兩選項都是與“病人要求終止生命”有關的內容：[A]詳細講述了病人如何終止生命，容易使考生迷惑，但句首處的“under the law”讓人不解，因為上文根本沒提及，空格后雖有所提及但卻沒有具體內容，因此不能選；[B]中的表述顯然應該是“vote”的結果，而且有與“vote”相關的詞語“arguing”和“debates”，與下文銜接也非常緊密。
