Question

Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list anything in our past that we felt 1 of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.
This seemed like a very 2 process, but there's always some brave soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then 3 that we find ways to 4 people, or take some action to right any wrongdoings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever 5 my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my 6, I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff none of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies(老兄) and I decided to play a 7 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 FOX. The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious 8. Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one 9 found out.”
"Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name 10 on my list. I didn't even know if he was still 11. 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 12 , I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?” Paused “Yes”. “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”
“And I want you to know that I did it.” Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a 13 discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you because your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it around all these years. I want to thank you for calling me … for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to 14 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 15 the past wrongdoings.

1.考查形容詞：A. Ashamed羞愧的，    B. Afraid害怕的，C. Sure確定的，D. Proud自豪的，根據(jù)下文可知句意為：教員要求我們把我們過去的任何事情(anything)都列成表，這些事情是我們感到羞愧(ashamed)、后悔或未完成的，然后大聲讀出。選A
2.考查形容詞：A. Private私人的B. Secret秘密的C. Interesting有趣的，D. Funny滑稽的，private 意為“私人的、保密的、不讓人知道的”。上述事情都屬于個人隱私，不宜公開。選A
3.考查動詞：A. expected期望，B. suggested建議C. ordered命令，D. demanded要求，句子謂語用的動詞原形，是虛擬語氣，可先排除expected；從說話者語氣看，不是“命令”，所以可排除ordered和demanded。選B
