II. Cloze Test (30 points, 1.5 for each)
Directions: There are 15 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.
I consider myself something of an expert on apologies. A quick temper(脾气) has _31 me with plenty of opportunities(机会) to make them. In one of my earliest 32 , my mother is telling me, “Don’t watch the 33 when you say ‘I’m sorry’. Hold your head up and look the person in the 34 , so he’ll know you 35 it.”
My mother thus made the key point of a(n) 36 apology: it must be direct. You must never 37 to be doing something else. You do not 38 a pile of letters while apologizing to a person 39 in position after blaming him or her for a mistake that turned out to be your 40 . You do not apologize to a hostess(女主人), whose guest of honor you treat 41 , by sending flowers the next day without mentioning your bad 42 . One of the important things you should do for an 43 apology is readiness to 44 the responsibility(责任) for our careless mistakes. We are used to making excuses, which leaves no 45 for the other person to 46 us. Since most people are open-hearted, the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling 47 about themselves. That, after all, is the 48 of every apology. It 49 little whether the apologizer is wholly or only partly at fault: answering for one’s 50 encourages others to take their share of the blame.
31． A．provided B．mixed C．compared D．treated 32． A．dreams B．courses C．memories D．ideas 33． A．side B．ground C．wall D．bottom 34． A．mind B．soul C．face D．eye 35． A．imagine B．enjoy C．mean D．regret 36． A．useful B．successful C．equal D．basic 37． A．pretend B．forget C．refuse D．expect 38． A．hold on B．put away C．look through D．pick up 39． A．poorer B．weaker C．worse D．lower 40．A．fault B．reason C．result D．duty 41．A．cruelly B．freely C．roughly D．foolishly 42．A．manners B．excuses C．efforts D．roles 43．A．active B．effective C．extra D．easy 44．A．raise B．perform C．admit D．bear 45．A．situation B．need C．sign D．room 46．A．advise B．forgive C．warn D．blame
47．A．wiser B．warmer C．better D．cleverer 48．A．purpose B．method C．end D．advantage 49．A．cares B．matters C．depends D．remains 50．A．facts B．states C．rights D．actions
