1、 Passage 1Its never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think how often youve judged roughly, said _1_ things, pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend. Then count the occasions when you indicated clearly and
2、 _2_ that you were sorry. A bit frightening, isnt it? Frightening because some deep wisdom in us knows that when even a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is _3_, and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and _4_ is expressed.I remember a doctor friend, telli
3、ng me about a man who came to him with a variety of signs: headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No _5_ cause could be found. Finally my friend said to the man, “Unless you tell me whats worrying you, I cant help you.“After some hesitation, the man _6_ that, as executor of his fahers will, he had
4、 been cheating his brother, who lived abroad, of his _7_. Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother asking _8_ and enclosing a cheque as the first step in restoring their good relation. He then went with him to mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man b
5、urst into tears. “Thank you,“ He said, “I think Im _9_.“ And he was. A heartfelt apology can not only _10_ a damaged relationship but also make it stronger. If you can think of someone who deserves an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or just neglected, do something about it right now.A)he
6、al B)mental C)unkind D)regretE) accurately F)confessed G)inheritance H)physicalI)cured J)treat K)truly L)unfaithfulM)forgiveness N)disturbed O)excu参考答案及解析:1. 选 C)。此处应填形容词。从后面的 pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend 可知，说的是不好的话，可选项有 unkind和 unfaithful，但由前面的judged roughly“粗鲁的评判”可知这里表示说话时不考虑他人
7、的感受，因此 unkind“刻薄的”更加符合上下文语气。2. 选 K)。由 clearly and 一词可知，此处应填副词，与 closely 一起修饰道歉时的情形。选项有 accurately和 truly,由“回想一下你曾明确地并地表示自己歉意的场合”，能使句意通顺的是 truly“真诚地”，而 accurately 一般表示“（数据计算得）精确地”，故排除。3. 选 N)。 it stays out of balance until.，其中 it=some mysterious moral feeling 可推出，出于道义上的原因，人会感到不安，故选 disturbed“不安的”。而co
8、nfessed“公开承认的”不符合句意。4. 选 D)。此处应填名词。从“知道承认错误，表达之后，才能觉得安心， ”选项中只有regret“歉意”符合题意。5. 选 H)。此处应填形容词。由 headaches，insomnia（失眠）and stomach trouble 可推出 ，可选项有 mental 和 physical，由朋友的话“Unles s. Worrying you, I cant help you.“ 可知这个人是由于心理上的原因，而不是生理上的，故选 physical即 No physical cause.。6. 选 F)。此处应填动词。选项中的动词有 confessed
9、，cured和 disturbed，但由After some hesitation可推出，此人是在向医生坦白情况，故选择 confessed“坦白”。7. 选 G)。此处应填名词。由 as executor of his fathers will 可推知，此处说明的是，在遗产继承方面，他一直在欺骗他居住在国外的兄弟，故只有选项inheritance 符合题意。8. 选 M)。此处应填名词。由 restoring their good relation 可推知，他是写信给他兄弟请求原谅，故选项中只有 forgiveness 符合题意。选项中 excuse 用作名词时，一般解释为“理由，借口”而没
10、有“原谅”的意思，故排除。9. 选 I)。由第二段最后一句 wahts worrying you 和这个人的感情Thank you 可推出，此处说明的是医生治好了他的心病，选项中只有cured符合题意。10.选 A)。此处应填动词的圆形。But also make it stronger“使人际关系更加稳固”，it 指代 a damaged relationship，由此可知，空格处应填表示“修复”的词，选项中的heal 则有 “治愈，修复”的意思，符合原文意思。treat一般专指医学上的治疗，用在此处不合适。导读：Its never easy to admit you are in the

Frightening because some deep wisdom in us knows that when even a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is N)disturbed, and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and D)regret is expressed. (Frightening. and it stays.。这个句子实际是省略了it is 的一个带有复杂原因状语从句的句
13、子。原因从句中包含了一个由 and 引导的并列宾语从句，在第一个宾语从句中又有一个由 when 引导的时间状语从句，而在第二个宾语从句中包含一个由until引导的时间状语从句。)I remember a doctor friend, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of signs: headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No H)physical cause could be found. Finally my friend said to the man, “Unless

17、ted。)全文翻译：要承认你自己的错误，并非易事。作为人来说，我们有必要了解道歉的艺术。用诚实的态度作个回顾，想想自己曾经作过多少次粗鲁的评判，说过多少次不友好的话，或者做过多少次以牺牲朋友为代价而凸显自己的事情。然后清点一下你曾明确并诚恳地表示自己歉意的场合。事实有些令人不安，不是吗？你感到不安是因为我们从内心深处知道，即便犯了一个小小的错误，出于道德情感，会感到心神不安；非要承认错误，表达歉意之后，才能觉得安心。我记得我的一位当医生的朋友，告诉我有个人找他看病。这个人表现出几种不同的症状，头疼，失眠，胃疼，但又找不到任何生理方面的原因。最后，利伯医生对这个人说，“除非你告诉我你的烦恼，否则
18、我帮不了你。 ”片刻犹豫之后，这个人坦言，作为他父亲遗嘱的执行人，在遗产继承方面，他一直在欺骗他居住在国外的兄弟。当场，这位明智的老医生就要求这个人给他的兄弟写信请求宽恕，并附支票一张作为恢复他们友好关系的第一步。然后，医生陪这个人到走廊里的邮箱去寄信。当信寄出后，此人放声大哭， “非常感谢， ”他说， “我想我痊愈了。 ”他的确好了。真心诚意的道歉不仅能修复已经遭到破坏的人际关系，而且能使这种关系变得更加稳固。如果你想起了某个值得你道歉的人，或者你冤枉过的或仅仅是忽视了的人，那么现在就快去道个歉吧。Passage 2Many a young person tells me he wants

23、ne with a dream learn to live there.A) barely B) genuine C) rewarded D) doubtE) lonely F) poverty G) persuade H) prospectsI) uncertainty J)impossibly K) encourage L)awardedM) alone N)wealth O)cold参考答案及解析:1. 选 K)。 此处应填动词的原形。可选项有 doubt, persuade, encourage, 但由always 推知，作者是在鼓 励那些想要 成为作家的人，而不是怀疑 也不是说服，故
24、排除doubt 和 persuade 而选 encourage。2. 选 N)。由空格后的fame 可知，此处应填名词。可选项有 prospects 和wealth，但由 dreaming of 与第二段中The reality is. poor-paying 可推知，那些想当作家的人梦想的是金钱和名誉，而不是前途，故排除 prospects 而选 wealth。3. 选 E)。此处应填形容词， private, poor-paying 一起修饰affair。选项中有lonely和 alone,能修饰 affair 的只有 lonely,alone表示“孤独的”时，通常作表语，故排除 alon
25、e 而选lonel y。4. 选 C)。此处应填动词的被动形式。可选项有 rewarded 和 awarded,前者可表示“（为所希望的举动得到的）回报”，后者作动词时表示“颁发，授予”，故只有 rewarded符合题意而排除 awarded。5. 选 H)。此处应填名词。 “当我辞别了我在美国海岸警卫队 20 年工作成为一个自由撰稿人时，没有任何可言”，可选项有 prospects 和 wealth，但 wealth 一般指抽象意义上的“金钱”，因此排除 wealth而选 prospects“前途”。6. 选 O)。it 指代的是 apartment building，从 had no ba

27、 符合文意。9. 选 A)。that 从句结构完整 ，后面有 made，故此处应填副词。可选项有 barely和impossibly，因 that引导的从句是对 story 的解释，再由 hard 一词可推知，此处应填的副词应表达肯定的意思，故排除 impossibly 而选barely“仅仅，刚刚”。10.选 I)。由空格后的and 可知，此处应填名词。由 fear of failure 可知，所填词应表示不好的境遇，可选项有 poverty 和 uncertainty;又由 fear 可推知，此处强调的是生活的变化无常，而不是生活的贫困，故选 uncertainty。导读： Many a

33、he Shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream learn to live there.全文翻译： 很多年轻人对我说他们想当作家。我总是鼓励这样的青年，但同时我也向他们说明“当作家”和写作的区别是很大的。在很多情况下，那些想当作家的人向往的是金钱和名誉，而不是独自守着打字机的漫长日子。我对他们说， “你必须是想写，而不应是想当作家。 ”事实上，写作是一件令人寂寞，孤独而且报酬又不高的事情。在每一个受到命运之神青睐的作家背后，还有成百上千的不走运的作家，这些人的渴望从没有得到过回报。当我辞别了我在美国海岸警卫队 20 年工作成为一个自由撰稿人时，没
34、有任何前途可言。我只有一个朋友，他在纽约的一幢公寓里给我找了一个房间。尽管房间很冷而且连洗漱间也没有，不过这都没关系。我马上买了一台旧的手动打字机，感觉自己就好像是一个真正的作家了。然而，大约一年后，我仍然没有任何进展并开始怀疑自己。要卖出一篇暂且可以糊口的作品是如此之难。但我知道我有写作的欲望。这是我多年以来的梦想。我不会像有些人那样，在临终前还在想，当初如果不放弃该多好啊！我会继续接受考验，即使这意味着变化无常的生活和对失败的担心。这其实也是梦想实现以前的一种虚幻的境界，每一个有梦想的人都应该学会在这种境遇中生活。Passage 3The first modern Olympic Game

(本文最后一句是一个复杂的简单句。现在分词短语 taking months to.修饰 a marathon journey。）全文翻译： 第一届现代奥林匹克运动会于 1896 年在雅典举行，当时只有 12 个国家参加。除了东道国之外，许多参赛者都是当时碰巧在希腊观光的旅游者。尽管整个比赛是非正式的，而且标准也不高，但奥运会作为业余体育运动的古老传统却被保持下来了。从那时起，奥运会每四年举办一次，不过在两次世界大战期间，奥运会停办了。毫无疑问，这与古老的奥林匹克精神是背道而驰的，因为在那是，战争必须停下来为比赛让路。奥运会发展规模巨大，体育成绩已经达到了前所未有的高度。不幸的是，奥运会的道德水准没有得到相应的提高。现代奥运会已经不再奥林匹亚而是在全世界各个不同城市举行。由于举办奥运会带来的政治威望和商业利润，各国为争夺举办奥运会而相互竞争，这样
