44、Theauthorusestheword"dilemma"toindicatethat.

51、Apersonisgenerallybelievedtohaveachievedpersonalgrowthwhen.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：如果一个人戒了烟，那么人们一般会认为他有所长进。作者在第一段

开头说，看长进的方法有二，一是看成果，二是看过程。人们一般把个人的长进看

作是一种能够轻易地识别或衡量的外在结果或成果。

52、Intheauthor'seyes,onewhoviewspersonalgrowthasaprocesswould.

标准答案：c

知识点葡析：根据作者的观点，把人的成长看作是一个过程的人会面对困难、接受

挑战。答案的依据是整个第二段。

53、Whentheauthorsays"anewwayofbeing",heisreferringto.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：作者说“anewwayofbeing”，他是指体验世界的一种新方法。根据a

newwayofbeing所在的句子，可以判断出它是指体验世界的新方法。

54、Forpersonalgrowth,theauthoradvocatesallofthefollowingEXCEPT.

标准答案：D

知识点解析；就个人成长而言，作者有以下主张，D除外。作者的主张A、B、C

在第三段可以找到。就个人成长而言，他不提倡D,因为他在最后一段说，如果我

们不面对并克服内心的恐惧和疑虑，如果我们过分地保护自己，我们便停止成长。

作者要我们克服内心的恐惧，他自然不会提倡内心的恐惧和疑虑。
