Answer 1

答案：C;A;B;D;B;A;C;D;A;C;D;A;B;D;C;A;B;D;D;B
解析：

1．后边一句He always looks carefully up...说明此空应填副词just，表示“直接”“就”，作状语修饰drive. 2．后边一句He looks for anything unusual such as strange cars，...已做出提示，此空应填．carefully，表示仔细地看。 3．空白后的strange cars，loud noises，broken windows，or people gathering on street comers说明这里寻找的是异常的东西，故填unusual，作后置定语修饰anything。 4．既然寻找的是异常的东西，窗户必然是被盗贼所打碎的。 5．belong to表示“属于”是固定的动词短语，to为介词。 6．后边一句That's when Tim gets together...已暗示出，此空应填meets，表示“开会”。 7．由上句中on the third Wednesday of every month可判断出，此空应填连接副词when，引导一个表语从句在从句中作时间状语。 8．作为members of the neighborhood watch group，他们所讨论的必然是社区的安全问题。 9．“keep＋名词或代词（宾语）＋形容词（宾补）”是keep后跟复合宾语的句型，表示“使……处于某种状态”。 10．由上文中的Members of the neighborhood watch group可以看出，此空应用物主代词their作定语，修饰neighborhood watch group。 11．happen to sb. 表示”某人发生什么事”是固定搭配。此空填介词to为并列的介词短语修饰happen，表示事情发生的对象。 12．此空应填名词right，其后跟并列的不定式短语作后置定语，表示不应有的权利。 13．此空应填unsafe，两个作后置定语的不定式短语所表达的意思才能相一致，都是扰乱治安的意思。 14．由Alex说的“We watch each other's homes. ”可推断出，此空应填look。look out表示“当心、留神”，是一短语动词。 15．此空填watch，意为“监视”。才能和前句中look out的意思相一致。 16．根据句中谓语goes out together的第三人称单数形式可以判断出，此空应填group。a group of four or five指“四五人一组”。 17．下文we report to the police表明，此空应填police。 18．根据空白后or someone destroying property，we report to the police的语境可以判断出，此空应填trouble，look for trouble在此是“惹麻烦”的意思。这句是说“如果我们注意到十多岁的孩子似乎想惹麻烦或有人破坏财产，我们就会报告给警察”。 19．上文的the neighborhood watch groups在保证社区安全、群防群治中起了很大作用，在降低犯罪率方面对警察也是有很大帮助的。 20．前一个分句赞扬了Police are good people，再从but所表示的转折意义来看，维持社会治安，警察不能包办一切，必须依靠大家的力量。故填不定代词everything。
