18、ications will pay him to employ you and your “wares“ and abilities must be displayed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner.

People ha

25、ve generally viewed personal growth as an external 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 e

26、fforts. 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 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

27、they encounter 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 willingness to take risks, to confront

28、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 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 w

29、e think were shy and indecisive? Then our sense of timidity can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe. Do we think were slow to adapt to change or that were not smart enough to cope with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passiv

30、e role or not to try at all. These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not confront and overcome these internal fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we cease to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of o

31、ur own making. 13 A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when_. （ A） he has given up his smoking habit （ B） he has made great efforts in his work （ C） he is keen on learning anything new （ D） he has tried to determine where he is on his journey 14 In the authors eyes, one who view

32、s personal growth as a process would_. （ A） succeed in climbing up the social ladder （ B） judge his ability to grow from his own achievements （ C） face difficulties and take up challenges （ D） aim high and reach his goal each time 15 When the author says “a new way of being“(Line 3, Paragraph 3)he i

33、s referring to_. （ A） a new approach to experiencing the world （ B） a new way of taking risks （ C） a new method of perceiving ourselves （ D） a new system of adaptation to change 16 For personal growth, the author advocates all of the following except_. （ A） curiosity about more chances （ B） promptne

34、ss in self-adaptation （ C） open-mindedness to new experiences （ D） avoidance of internal fears and doubts 17 Which statement is NOT the cause for the process of personal growth being difficult to define? （ A） There are no obvious signposts or landmarks in the process. （ B） It includes the abstract t

35、hings such as feeling and attitude etc. rather than just a process. （ C） It is changing and developing constantly. （ D） There are always new ideas and new challenges appearing during the process. 18 What is needed on the way of growth in the authors eyes? （ A） Taking risks. （ B） Trying the taste of

37、ople has changed the way society is policed, how pupils are treated in schools and how insecure adults relate to children on their estates. Rather than children and young people becoming more violent and anti-social, it is adults who have changed, having fewer relationships with young people and bec

38、oming less confident in their dealings with them. We must explore the role that crime and safety initiatives have on the outlook of the public. The attempt by government, council departments, the police and many others to reduce the fear within communities by developing safety initiatives is having

39、the opposite effect, resulting in the institutionalization of this fear. Curfews have increased adults fear of young people and reduced the amount of time young children are allowed out to play. They have raised the level of insecurity amongst parents about the safety of their children and ultimatel

40、y reduced the contact between generations within this community. It is not far from the truth to say that “youth“ no longer exists if by youth we mean the freedom loving rebelliousness. The outcome of this process is breeding a generation of young people who are if anything different-more fragile an

41、d fearful than their grandparents. Finally, as well as exploring the fear of young people, we must look at the insecurity that parents have for their children. There has been a reduction in play, and specifically in “free play“, and the effect of this more regulated environment on childrens lives is

45、 and freedom （ B） youth are indistinguishable in character from their grandparents （ C） they are not allowed to voice their opinions （ D） they do not love freedom the way they should 23 To correct the problem the author discusses we are advised to_. （ A） stop being so insecure towards children （ B）

46、let children play more （ C） study the roots and effects of our fear （ D） stop regulating childrens lives 24 The word “institutionalization“ in the second paragraph mainly means that_. （ A） it increases the adults fear of children （ B） it makes the adults pay more attention to childrens freedom （ C）

47、it resulted in curfews （ D） it cancelled childrens “free play“ in communities and public places 在职申硕同等学力英语（阅读）模拟试卷 6答案与解析 一、 Reading Comprehension Directions: There are 5 passages in this part.
