閱讀下面短文,掌握其大意,然后從1~20各題所給的四個選項(A,B,C和D)中,選出最佳選項。

  I consider myself something of an expert on apologies. A quick temper(脾氣) has 1 me with plenty of opportunities (機會) to make them. In one of my earliest 2 , my mother is telling me, “Don't watch the 3 when you say,‘I'm sorry’. Hold your head up and look the person in the 4 , so he'll know you 5 it.”

  My mother thus made the key point of a(n) 6 apology: it must be direct, You must never 7 to be doing something else. You do not 8 a pile of letters while apologizing to a person 9 in position after blaming him or her for a mistake that turned out to be your 10 . You do not apologize to a hostess(女主人) , whose guest of horror you treat 11 , by sending flowers the next day without mentioning your bad 12 .

  One of the important things you should do for an 13 apology is a readiness to 14 the responsibility (責任) for our careless mistakes. We are used to making excuses, which leaves no 15 for the other person to 16 us. Since most people are open-hearted, the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling 17 about themselves. That, after all, is the 18 of every apology. It 19 little whether the apologizer is wholly or only partly at fault: answering for one's 20 encourages others to take their share of the blame.

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

  1.A  導解:provide sb. with sth.表示“給某人提供”,其他項中,B表示“把A與B混合”,C表示“將A與B比較”,D表示“拿……招待某人”,均不合題意。

  2.C  導解:既然是earliest,顯然在回顧早期,回憶記憶中的往事。

  3.B  導解:從下一句的“抬起頭來”可知此處是讓“我”不要低頭看著地,而是正視對方。

  4.C  導解:look在個別短語中用作及物動詞,如look sb. in the eye/face表示“看著某人的眼睛/臉”,“上下打量某人”是look sb. up and down.

  5.C  導解:I mean it. 表示“我是真心實意的!

  6.B  導解:從上下文看,此處用B,只有直接了當,開門見山,才能讓對方接受你的道歉,才是a successful apology.

  7.A  導解:正因為是direct,坦率而直接的,你不能因為面子等原因而裝作心不在焉。

  8.C  導解:look through a letter表示“瀏覽,翻閱信件”,hold on指“抓著不放,堅持”,后接介詞to;B,D項語義不符合上下文。

  9.D  導解:地位的高低貴賤用high、low,其他三個修飾詞不能表此意思。

  10.A  導解:fault表示“過失、過錯”,“這件事怪我”,It's my fault.

  11.C  導解:treat sb. roughly表示“對人粗暴無禮”,此處選C,與下文的bad manners相呼應。

  12.A  導解:既然是向女主人道歉,你對別人家的貴客粗暴無禮,當然是bad manners.

  13.B  導解:從上文可知,道歉必須是真誠的,直接了當,短文第一句說“我”是道歉的“專家”,“我”總結(jié)經(jīng)驗說會道歉的人是怎樣的,因此用effective,“有效的”。

  14.D  導解:不是隨時“表演、承認”我們的責任,而且時刻準備承擔責任,不找借口。

  15.D  導解:如果我們在道歉時一味推托找借口,對方就難以原諒我們,我們就沒有給對方留下緩和的空間。

  16.B  導解:向?qū)Ψ降狼府斎皇菫榱俗寣Ψ皆、寬恕,forgive表示“寬恕”。

  17.C  導解:在道歉時真誠不找借口,雙方會盡釋前嫌,雙方都感覺心情順暢。

  18.A  導解:雙方盡釋前嫌,重歸于好,這才是道歉的目的與意圖。

  19.B  導解:It matters little. 即It doesn't matter. A項宜用人作主語,C,D意思不符。

  20.D  導解:為自己的過錯行為負責同樣鼓勵了對方也承擔自己該負的責任。

In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to   36   a different life. It was a transitional(過渡的) time in Daniel’s life.

When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad?

What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him?   47   as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter.

Why is it so   50   to tell a son something from the heart?

My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That’s all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world   51   , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn’t understand what he was saying. All I was   52   of was the stubble(短須) on his chin as his face pressed    53    mine. What I had said to Daniel was   54   . It was nothing. And yet, it was    55     .
