分析 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.
解答 36-40 ABDCB 41-45ACDBC 46-47AD
36.A 考查形容词.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.
37.B 考查副词,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.
38D 考查副词,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.
39C 考查名词.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.
40B 考查名词,symptom 症状,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
41A 考查形容词.由headaches,insomnia(失眠)and stomach trouble可推出,可选项有mental和physical,由朋友的话"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…
42C 考查动词.选项中的动词有admit,cured和disturbed,但由After some hesitation可推出,此人是在向医生承认情况,故选择admit"承认".
43D考查名词.由restoring their good…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.
44B考查名词,在遗产继承方面,他一直在欺骗他居住在国外的兄弟,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.
45C 考查动词短语,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,"
46A 考查名词,apology 道歉,句意: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.
47D考查动词,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.deserve值得
点评 完型填空,解题时要抓住文章的脉络,一定要读懂全文,弄清文章要表达的思想,注意前后段落之间的关系.答题中,一定要认真分析,注意选项与上下文的关系,与前后单词的关系.对于一时没有太大的把握的题可以放到最后再来完成,因为有时答案可以从下文内容体现出来.答完后再通读一篇文章,看看所选选项能不能是语句通顺,语意连贯.
"People often lose their concentration when they are bored,of course,but also when they are engaged in challenging tasks,"says Peter Bregman."They sometimes have a feeling to escape from what's difficult or boring,so they jump out,"he says.The part of the brain devoted to attention is connected to the brain's emotional center.Any strong emotion-quarrels with colleagues,problems at home-can interrupt our attention.Studies over the last decade have shown that too much work to do at a time can easily lead to distraction.
Refocusing is hard for many people.Robert Epstein suggests the following,"Stop and listen to music for a few minutes.Go for a short walk or take a deep breath,where you breathe in deeply,count to five slowly,hold it and breathe out very slowly."This can"blow out all the tension and the unwanted in your mind to restore your focus."
Take more control by structuring your time and becoming more aware of your behaviors."Setting the phone alarm to go off every hour is my way of creating awareness,"Mr.Bregman says,"You have to inform yourself that you've lost focus in order to do something about it."Starting the day with a to-do list is important,such as when to eat,when to go to the gym or take a walk.But if it's overly ambitious,you will put yourself in a state of anxiety,which makes it hard for the brain to concentrate."Choosing three or four things as your priority (优先) for the day allows your brain to settle down and focus,"he says.
