2022年12月四级阅读理解练习题及答案解析(17)Its never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think how often youve judged roughly, said _1_ things, pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend. Then count the occasions when you indicated clearly and _2_ that you were sorry. A bit frightening, isnt it? Frightening because some deePwisdom in us knows that when even a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is _3_, and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and _4_ is expressed.I remember a doctor friend, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of signs: headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No _5_ cause could be found. Finally my friend said to the man, “Unless you tell me whats worrying you, I cant helPyou.“After some hesitation, the man _6_ that, as executor of his fahers will, he had been cheating his brother, who lived abroad, of his _7_. Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother asking _8_ and enclosing a cheque as the first stePin restoring their good relation. He then went with him to mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man burst into tears. “Thank you,“ He said, “I think Im _9_.“ And he was. A heartfelt apology can not only _10_ a damaged relationshiPbut also make it stronger.

Worrying you, I cant helPyou.“ 可知这个人是由于心理上的缘由，而不是生理上的，应选physical即No physical cause.。6.选F)。此处应填动词。选项中的动词有confessed，cured和disturbed，但由After some hesitation可推出，此人是在向医生坦白状况，应选择confessed“坦白”。7.选G)。此处应填名词。由as executor of his fathers will可推知，此处说明的是，在遗产继承方面，他始终在哄骗他居住在国外的兄弟，故只有选项inheritance符合题意。8.选M)。此处应填名词。由restoring their good relation可推知，他是写信给他兄弟恳求原谅，应选项中只有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，故排解。9.选I)。由其次段最终一句wahts worrying you和这个人的感情Thank you可推出，此处说明的是医生治好了他的心病，选项中只有cured符合题意。10.选A)。此处应填动词的圆形。But also make it stronger“使人际关系更加稳固”，it指代a damaged relationship，由此可知，空格处应填表示“修复”的词，选项中的heal则有“治愈，修复”的意思，符合原文意思。treat一般专指医学上的治疗，用在此处不适宜。
