完形填空
Several years ago，while attending a communication course，I experienced a most unusual process．The instructor asked us to list 1 in our past that we felt 2 of，regretted，or felt uncompleted about and read our lists aloud．
This seemed like a very 3 process，but there's always some 4 soul in the crowd who will volunteer．The instructor then 5 that we find ways to 6 people，or take some action to right wrongdoings．I was seriously wondering how this could ever 7 my communication．
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story：“ Making my 8 ，I remembered an incident from high school。I grew up in a small town．There was a sheriff（行政长官） 9 of us kids liked One night，my two buddies（伙伴）and I decided to play a 10 on him．After drinking a few beers，we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town，and wrote on the tank in bright red paint：Sheriff Brown is a s．o．b．The next day almost all the townspeople saw our glorious 11 Within two hours，Sheriff Brown had us in his office．My friends told the truth but I lied．No one 12 found out．”
“Nearly 20 years later，Sheriff Brown's name 13 on my list．I didn't even know if he still 14 ．Last weekend，I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed．I tried his number．After a few 15 I heard‘Hello？'I said．‘Sheriff Brown？’Paused．‘Yes’．‘Well．this is Jimmy Calkins．And I want you toknow that I did it．’Paused．‘I knew it！’he yelled back．We had a good laugh and a 16 discussion His closing words were：‘Jimmy，I always felt bad for you 17 your buddies got it off their chest，but you were carrying it 18 all these years．I want to thank you for calling me for your sake．’”
Jimmy inspired me to 19 all 101 items on my list within two years，and I always remember what I learned from the course：It's never too late to 20 the past wrongdoings．

2．根据句中并列谓语felt regretted or felt uncompleted about...可知，第二空应选与此类意义的选项ashamed“惭愧、内疚”。 3． 4．作者认为这一切似乎都是一个人自己的事，不应该说出来，但在人群中总会有一些勇敢者自愿表露自己。 5． 6．该句意思是：指导员后来建议我们找一些方法向他人道歉或做些实事来纠正错误。 7．此处意为“改进、提高”交际能力。 8．短语make a list意为“造表、列表”，在此意为“在我所列的过去做的事情中”。 9．根据上下文意义可知，此处应选否定意义的代词，意为“我们没有人喜欢的官员”。 10．短语play a trick on sb．意为“捉弄某人”。其他短语不合句意。 11．此处所选名词应表示作者与他的伙伴们在水箱上用红漆所写的Sheriff Brown is a s．o．b．， 故应选sign“标记、符号”。 12．副词ever在此强调语气，说明“后来再也没有任何人了解到作者也参与其事的真实情况”。 13．二十年过后Sheriff Brown的名字仍然时常出现在我的眼前。 14．从下文可知，Sheriff Brown其实知道20年前作者参与过那件事，故选项B、C不合句意，选项D（happy）不合文意。 15．此处强调电话振铃几声以后。 16．作者说出真相后，心里感到轻松了许多，Sheriff Brown其实知道此事，两人便大笑起来，而且还进行了一场热烈的讨论。 17．此处强调原因，其他连接词不合句意。 18．around在此为副词，意为“存在着”。...you were carrying it around all these years意为“你把这件做错的事一直放在心中这么多年”。 19．动词短语clear up意为“消除、解除（误会、疑虑等）”。其他动词短语不符合句意。 20．right在此为动词，意为“纠正”。 |
