　　Answers:1.選C)。此處應(yīng)填形容詞。從后面的pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend可知，說(shuō)的是不好的話(huà)，可選項(xiàng)有unkind和unfaithful，但由前面的judged roughly“粗魯?shù)脑u(píng)判”可知這里表示說(shuō)話(huà)時(shí)不考慮他人的感受，因此unkind“刻薄的”更加符合上下文語(yǔ)氣。
　　2.選K)。由clearly and一詞可知，此處應(yīng)填副詞，與closely一起修飾道歉時(shí)的情形。選項(xiàng)有accurately和truly,由“回想一下你曾明確地并......地表示自己歉意的場(chǎng)合”，能使句意通順的是truly“真誠(chéng)地”，而accurately一般表示“（數(shù)據(jù)計(jì)算得）地”，故排除。
　　3.選N)。it stays out of balance until...，其中it=some mysterious moral feeling可推出，出于道義上的原因，人會(huì)感到不安，故選disturbed“不安的”。而confessed“公開(kāi)承認(rèn)的”不符合句意。
　　4.選D)。此處應(yīng)填名詞。從“知道承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤，表達(dá)......之后，才能覺(jué)得安心，”選項(xiàng)中只有regret“歉意”符合題意。
　　5.選H)。此處應(yīng)填形容詞。由headaches，insomnia（失眠）and stomach trouble可推出，可選項(xiàng)有mental和physical，由朋友的話(huà)“Unless... Worrying you, I can’t helPyou." 可知這個(gè)人是由于心理上的原因，而不是生理上的，故選physical即No physical cause...。
　　6.選F)。此處應(yīng)填動(dòng)詞。選項(xiàng)中的動(dòng)詞有confessed，cured和disturbed，但由After some hesitation可推出，此人是在向醫(yī)生坦白情況，故選擇confessed“坦白”。
　　7.選G)。此處應(yīng)填名詞。由as executor of his father’s will可推知，此處說(shuō)明的是，在遺產(chǎn)繼承方面，他一直在欺騙他居住在國(guó)外的兄弟，故只有選項(xiàng)inheritance符合題意。
　　8.選M)。此處應(yīng)填名詞。由restoring their good relation可推知，他是寫(xiě)信給他兄弟請(qǐng)求原諒，故選項(xiàng)中只有forgiveness符合題意。選項(xiàng)中excuse用作名詞時(shí)，一般解釋為“理由，借口”而沒(méi)有“原諒”的意思，故排除。
　　9.選I)。由第二段后一句waht’s worrying you和這個(gè)人的感情T(mén)hank you可推出，此處說(shuō)明的是醫(yī)生治好了他的心病，選項(xiàng)中只有cured符合題意。
　　10.選A)。此處應(yīng)填動(dòng)詞的圓形。But also make it stronger“使人際關(guān)系更加穩(wěn)固”，it指代a damaged relationship，由此可知，空格處應(yīng)填表示“修復(fù)”的詞，選項(xiàng)中的heal則有“治愈，修復(fù)”的意思，符合原文意思。treat一般專(zhuān)指醫(yī)學(xué)上的治療，用在此處不合適。

　　全文翻譯：要承認(rèn)你自己的錯(cuò)誤，并非易事。作為人來(lái)說(shuō)，我們有必要了解道歉的藝術(shù)。用誠(chéng)實(shí)的態(tài)度作個(gè)回顧，想想自己曾經(jīng)作過(guò)多少次粗魯?shù)脑u(píng)判，說(shuō)過(guò)多少次不友好的話(huà)，或者做過(guò)多少次以犧牲朋友為代價(jià)而凸顯自己的事情。然后清點(diǎn)一下你曾明確并誠(chéng)懇地表示自己歉意的場(chǎng)合。事實(shí)有些令人不安，不是嗎？你感到不安是因?yàn)槲覀儚膬?nèi)心深處知道，即便犯了一個(gè)小小的錯(cuò)誤，出于道德情感，會(huì)感到心神不安；非要承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤，表達(dá)歉意之后，才能覺(jué)得安心。我記得我的一位當(dāng)醫(yī)生的朋友，告訴我有個(gè)人找他看病。這個(gè)人表現(xiàn)出幾種不同的癥狀，頭疼，失眠，胃疼，但又找不到任何生理方面的原因。后，利伯醫(yī)生對(duì)這個(gè)人說(shuō)，“除非你告訴我你的煩惱，否則我?guī)筒涣四??！逼酞q豫之后，這個(gè)人坦言，作為他父親遺囑的執(zhí)行人，在遺產(chǎn)繼承方面，他一直在欺騙他居住在國(guó)外的兄弟。當(dāng)場(chǎng)，這位明智的老醫(yī)生就要求這個(gè)人給他的兄弟寫(xiě)信請(qǐng)求寬恕，并附支票一張作為恢復(fù)他們友好關(guān)系的步。然后，醫(yī)生陪這個(gè)人到走廊里的郵箱去寄信。當(dāng)信寄出后，此人放聲大哭，“非常感謝，”他說(shuō)，“我想我痊愈了?！彼拇_好了。真心誠(chéng)意的道歉不僅能修復(fù)已經(jīng)遭到破壞的人際關(guān)系，而且能使這種關(guān)系變得更加穩(wěn)固。如果你想起了某個(gè)值得你道歉的人，或者你冤枉過(guò)的或僅僅是忽視了的人，那么現(xiàn)在就快去道個(gè)歉吧。閱讀文章的結(jié)構(gòu)了解文章的結(jié)構(gòu)，能夠讓我們?cè)陂喿x時(shí)更迅速地把握文章的脈絡(luò)和文章主旨，對(duì)于提高做題效率更有重要意義。 文章的結(jié)構(gòu)模式大體上分為四類(lèi)。這四類(lèi)文章在一篇文章中并不是獨(dú)立存在的，有時(shí)往往是幾種段落結(jié)構(gòu)模式交織在一起?？偡中?這類(lèi)文章遵循從觀(guān)點(diǎn)到材料，從抽象到具體的邏輯法則，其基本框架是先總論后分論，中心論點(diǎn)出現(xiàn)在分論之前。問(wèn)題解決型 首先說(shuō)明情況和背景，然后提出問(wèn)題，接著作出反應(yīng)，也就是解決問(wèn)題，當(dāng)然問(wèn)題也可能沒(méi)有解決或沒(méi)有完全解決，后給予適當(dāng)?shù)脑u(píng)價(jià)或者分析。總體布局上有時(shí)會(huì)舍去背景部分或評(píng)價(jià)部分。匹配型 段落的發(fā)展主線(xiàn)為兩種事物之間的類(lèi)比：兩種論點(diǎn)概論----一種論點(diǎn)----另一種論點(diǎn)；或者是現(xiàn)象----一種事物----另一種事物----得出結(jié)論。作者一般不發(fā)表態(tài)度和結(jié)論。假設(shè)真實(shí)型 文章結(jié)構(gòu)模式是：假設(shè)觀(guān)點(diǎn)----進(jìn)行反駁----作者觀(guān)點(diǎn)。作者往往在文中開(kāi)頭即提出一種觀(guān)點(diǎn)或主張，然后從贊同與反對(duì)兩個(gè)方面進(jìn)行反駁或澄清，經(jīng)過(guò)論證之后才提出作者本人的觀(guān)點(diǎn)。
