题目内容
【题目】阅读下列短文,从所给的七个选项(A、B、C、D、E、F、G)中选出每空最佳选项。
Question: Why is it so hard for some people to apologize after they’ve done something wrong? I have made efforts to persuade my uncle to be nice to people that he’s hurt. 【1】 How I wish things would be better if he’d just say he’s sorry and ask them to forgive him.
Answer: 【2】 It’s just easier for him to pretend nothing happened than to face the embarrassment (尴尬) of admitting he was wrong. You’ve probably done the same thing yourself at some time. In fact, most of us have. Furthermore, what if others won’t forgive him even if he apologizes?
【3】 Pride blinds us to our mistakes or faults. Or at least it makes us pay less attention to their seriousness.
Pride also makes us unwilling to admit to others that we were wrong. Perhaps we’re afraid they will look down on us if we admit it. 【4】
But others see through our pride. And things would be far better if we admitted our faults and asked for forgiveness. 【5】
Now you know why your uncle refuses to apologize, talk to him again. Help him to learn how to apologize and ask for forgiveness from others.
A. But a deeper reason is pride.
B. But he just refuses to do that.
C. We may even hope that somehow they will overlook it.
D. As a result, you would offend others and hurt their feelings.
E. There are a variety of reasons for your uncle’s refusal to apologize.
F. Otherwise our pride woul only hurt us and cause conflict with others.
G. One reason your uncle finds it hard to apologize could be embarrassment.

【1】B考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。下句说明他拒绝道歉,B项符合上下文。故选B.
【2】G考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据下句pretend nothing happened than to face the embarrassment of admitting he was wrong.说明他认为道歉让人感觉尴尬。G项符合上下文。故选G.
【3】A考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据Pride blinds us to our mistakes or faults.说明拒绝道歉的另外一个原因也许是骄傲,不愿意向别人道歉。故选A.
【4】C考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据Pride also makes us unwilling to admit to others that we were wrong.骄傲会让我们不愿意承认自己错了,后面讲具体原因,或许会因为我们承认错误对方会看不起我们,或许希望有一天对方会忘掉这件事。C项符合上下文,故选C.
【5】F考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据And things would be far better if we admitted our faults and asked for forgiveness说明如果我们承认错误会让别人原谅我们。如果我们不承认错误,那么我们的骄傲不仅仅会伤害到自己还会伤害到他人。F符合上下文语境,故选F.
