Question

【题目】A controversial call was given towards the end of the baseball game. At full speed Paul Harvey slid home（本垒） and, thinking he had just ________ a game-changing run, he stood up only to face the words, “You’re ________!”Angry, he threw off his helmet and ran over to explain to the ________ why the call was wrong. Before his ________ really got out of control, someone pulled him away, and he walked to the bench—________.

Long after the coaches, players, and fans had gone home, he realized the impact of his ________. Like most of us do when we are faced with the ________ of our actions, he could have just let it go, reasoning, “Everybody ________ it.”

However, in the silence of his heart, he knew that just ________ everyone else does it, that doesn’t make it all right. And so, long after his friends had gone home, he ________ that coach back up to the school—not to ________ his car. No, the boy tracked this man down so he could tell him face to face, “I’m sorry, Sir. It was all my ________.” It takes true courage to stand up to face the ________ we all make and say, “I was wrong. I’m sorry.” What makes this ________ unique is that it wasn’t meant for the world to ________, it was meant simply as a way to stay ________ to his own heart.

The truth is at one time or another we have all been this boy — ________ out in anger, saying hurtful things, and feeling ________ for doing so. But the real test comes later when we are ________ with the choice to say “sorry” or to walk away thinking, “Ah, they’ll get over it.”

Maybe the “they” is a customer, a friend, or a child. Whoever it is, don’t pass up the opportunity to get right with your own heart. The time for apology is now! Courage is a ________ of the heart.

【解析】

试题分析：文章记叙了Paul Harvey对一场有争议的判罚，及从一开始的不理解到最后有勇气面对这场判罚，并向教练道歉，领悟到道歉不只是承认自己的错误，更重要的是让人忠诚于自己的内心。

【1】B 考查动词。结合前面的“告诉跑出本垒”，可知Harvey认为自己能“得分”。 score(在比赛中)得分。

【2】D 考查副词。可他站起来时，听到却是“你出局了”。out(棒球等)出局。

【3】C 考查名词。结合下文Harvey跟踪coach到学校并向他道歉可知，此处他想向coach解释一下。

【4】A 考查名词。结合下文Harvey道歉可知，此处做的是不理智的行为，故选temper（脾气）。“在他的脾气失控之前”。

【5】B 考查形容词。此时的Harvey很生气，气的脸色“苍白”。

【6】D 考查名词。在其他人离开后，平静下来的Harvey意识到自己的“行为”behavior的影响。

【7】C 考查名词。当事人自己认为能得分，结果却是“出局”，这令当事人很尴尬（embarrassment）。句意：像大多数人一样，当面对我们的行动带来的尴尬时，他本可能也只是让这件事过去。说，“（在那种情况下）每个人都会那么做”。

【8】A 考查动词。结合下文everyone else does it。

【9】B 考查连词。可他知道仅仅因为其他人都这么做，并不能使这种行为正确。前后两句是因果关系。

【10】D 考查动词。结合下文the boy tracked this man，track意为“跟踪；追踪”。因此Harvey就跟着教练回到学校，不是为了发泄而砸destroy他的车，而是为了道歉。

【11】C 考查动词。他是想道歉，而不是砸教练的车。故选C。

【12】A 考查名词。It is my fault. 这是我的过错。fault强调责任或性格上的弱点；mistake强调日常生活中判断和看法的错误，如：It was a mistake buying that house. 买那套房子是个错误。所以本题不能选mistake，只能选fault。

【13】B 考查名词。结合后半句“I was wrong. I’m sorry.”可知此处应是不好的内容。impoliteness意为“无礼；失礼”，符合语境。

【14】D 考查名词。由this判断所填名词应指代前面提到的内容“道歉”。

【15】C 考查动词。句意：使道歉独特的不是让世人听到（hear），它仅仅是让人忠诚于自己的内心。

【16】A 考查形容词。true to意为“忠实于，信守”。

【17】B 考查动词。act out意为“（用行动）把……表示出来”。

【18】D 考查形容词。发泄自己的怒火时，感觉自己的做法是“正确”的。

【19】C 考查动词。be presented with面对。

【20】A 考查名词。a matter of……的情况、问题或事情。
