Question

【題目】I consider myself something of 【1】expert on apologies. A quick temper has provided me 【2】 plenty of opportunities to make them. In one of my earliest 【3】 (memorize), my mother was telling me, “Don't watch the ground when you say, ‘I'm sorry'. Hold your head 【4】 and look at the person in the eye, so he'll know you mean it. ” My mother thus made the key point of a 【5】 (succeed) apology: It must be direct.

【6】important thing we should do for an effective apology is to bear the responsibility for our careless mistakes. We are used to 【7】 (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 【8】 (good) about themselves. That, after all, is the purpose of every apology. It matters little 【9】 you are wholly or only partly wrong. Answering for your mistake 【10】 (encourage) others to take their share of the blame.

【解析】本題考查短文填空。本文講述了關(guān)于向別人道歉的方法，提出了兩條更好的向別人道歉的建議，一是要在道歉時看著人家的眼睛二是要找到合適有效的方法。完成本題時要注意聯(lián)系上下文，注意詞性，時態(tài)，語態(tài)的變化。

【1】本題考查冠詞。固定短語something of a（n）+表示職業(yè)的名詞意為 在某種程度上，有點像......有因為expert是以元音因素開頭的單詞，故填an。

【2】本題考查介詞。固定搭配provide.sb with sth相當(dāng)于provide sth for sb,意為為某人提供某物，故填with。

【3】本題考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。由前文“one of my earliest”可知，此處缺少名詞復(fù)數(shù)，故將memorize改為名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式，故填memories

【4】本題考查副詞。固定搭配 hold up 意為舉起，抬起。此句句意為當(dāng)你說抱歉的時候，抬起頭來看著對方的眼睛。故填up。

【5】本題考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。Apology是名詞，之前應(yīng)用形容詞修飾，succeed的形容詞是successful，意為成功的，故填successful。

【6】 本題考查不定代詞。第一段Hold your head ___up___ and look at the person in the eye意為在向別人道歉時要看著別人的眼睛，這是一個道歉的要點，所以此處應(yīng)該是道歉的另一個要點，故填Another。

【7】本題考查非謂語動詞。固定搭配be used to doing，意為習(xí)慣做某事。本句意為我們習(xí)慣鍛煉，故填making

【8】本題考查形容詞比較級。the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling ___8___ (good) about themselves.本句句意為勇于承擔(dān)責(zé)任能使雙方都感覺更好，better為good的比較級，故填better。

【9】本題考查主語從句。It為形式主語，真正的主語為___whether___ you are wholly or only partly wrong. Answering for your mistake 。Whether意為無論，不管，連接從句。本句意為：不管都是你的錯還是部分是你的錯，這都不重要。故填whether。

【10】本題考查動詞時態(tài)。Answering for your mistake動名詞做主語，謂語動詞用單數(shù)，又因為通篇為一般現(xiàn)在時，故填encourages。
