【答案】
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 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confessed 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,insomniaand stomach trouble可推出,可选项有mental和physical,由朋友的话 Unless... Worrying you, I can t helPyou. 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,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 father s 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 而没有 原谅 的意思,故排除。
9.选I)。由第二段最后一句waht s 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。
