题目内容
15.I consider myself something of (61)anexpert on apologies.A quick temper has provided me (62)withplenty of opportunities to make them.In one of my earliest (63)memories(memorize),my mother was telling me,"Don't watch the ground when you say,‘I'm sorry'.Hold your head (64)up一and look at the person in the eye,so he'll know you mean it."My mother thus made the key point of a (65)successful(succeed) apology:It must be direct.(66)Another important thing we should do for an effective apology is to bear the responsibility for our careless mistakes.We are used to (67)making (make) excuses,which leaves no room for the other person to forgive us.Since most people are open-hearted,the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling (68)better(good) about themselves.That,after all,is the purpose of every apology.It matters little (69)whether you are wholly or only partly wrong:answering for your mistake (70)encourages (encourage) others to take their share of the blame.
分析 本文阐述了一个观点,道歉要真诚,要敢于承担责任,同时也批评了一些"假"道歉的行为.
解答 1.答案 an 冠词为本题主要考查点.难度中等.固定短语"something of a(n)+表示职业的名词"意为"在某种程度上…,有点像…";又因为expert是以元音因素开头的单词,故填不定冠词an.
2.答案 with 介词为本题主要考查点.难度较小.固定搭配provide sb.with sth相当于provide sth for sb,意为"为某人提供某物".故填介词with.
3.答案 memories 词性转换为本题主要考查点.难度中等.根据前文中"one of my earliest"可知,须用memorize的名词形式"memory";又根据"one of(…之一)"可知,应用memory的复数形式,这里表示"我最早的记忆之一".故填 memories.
4.答案 up 副词为本题主要考查点.难度中等.固定搭配hold up意为"举起,抬起".此处意为"当你说抱歉的时候,抬起头来并看着对方的眼睛".故填up.
5.答案 successful 词性转换为本题主要考查点.难度较小.本空后的apology是名词,故其前应用形容词来修饰,succeed的形容词形式为successful,意为"成功的",符合语境.故填successful.
6.答案 Another 不定代词为本题主要考查点.难度较小.文章第一段末尾作者已经提出来道歉的一个要点,那就是直接.所以下一段应该是介绍另一个道歉的要点,故填不定代词another,意为"另一个",注意首字母大写.
7.答案 making 非谓语动词为本题主要考查点.难度中等.固定搭配be used to doing意为"习惯做某事",符合语境.注意此处要和另一个常用搭配be used to do"被用来做某事"进行区分.故填making.
8.答案 better 形容词比较级为本题主要考查点.难度中等.根据语境可知,勇于承担责任能使双方都感觉更好.故填形容词good的比较级形式better.
9.答案 whether 连词和主语从句为本题主要考查点.难度较大.It为形式主语,真正的主语是whether you are wholly or only partly wrong.句意为:不管都是你的错还是部分是你的错,这都不重要. 故填weather.
10.答案 encourages 动词的时态和主谓一致为本题主要考查点.难度较大.本句是动名词做主语,故谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式;又根据文章基本时态为一般现在时可知,本空应填encourages.
点评 考生在对题目进行作答之前,要先对题干进行详细阅读,检查题目中是否有提示词语存在;而后判断出所填词语在句子中所充当的句子成分,例如,主语、谓语等;最后根据其所充当的句子成分,加之其所处句子的语态等,选择词语的正确形式,例如,动词的现在分词或者过去分词,或者形容词的比较或者最高级的使用等.
在句子中没有提示词或者标志词存在时,考生要根据句子中所填词语的位置,判断所填词语的词性,例如,连接词、定冠词或者不定冠词、代词或者介词等.定冠词以及不定冠词的位置通常在名词之前,起到对名词进行限制的作用.而代词则分为形容词性物主代词、名词性代词、指示代词和不定代词等.在运用介词的时候,往往考查介词的固定搭配,其中包括动词、形容词等与介词的搭配.
