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 ___3___ soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then ___4___ that we find ways to ___5___ people, or take some action to right any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever ___6___ my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my ___7___, 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 and I decided to play a ___8___ 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 s.o.b (畜生). The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious __9___. Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one ever 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 calls, 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 ___12___ discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you ___13___ 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.”[来源:学§科§网]

【答案与解析】 1—15 AADBC ABCBA BDDCC
1. A 。根据下文可知句意为：教员要求我们把我们过去的任何事情(anything)都列成表，这些事情是我们感到羞愧(ashamed)、后悔或未完成的，然后大声读出。若填something只表示一些事情，与句意不符。ashamed 意为“羞愧的”，根据后面列举的几项，不应该是“害怕的(afraid)”的事情。
2. A。private 意为“私人的、保密的、不让人知道的”。上述事情都属于个人隐私，不宜公开。[来源:Zxxk.Com]
3. D。brave 意为“勇敢的”，尽管是隐私不宜公开，但在自愿者中也有勇敢的人。
4. B。suggested 意为“建议”，句子谓语用的动词原形，是虚拟语气，可先排除expected；从说话者语气看，不是“命令”，所以可排除ordered和demanded。
5. C。这里教员建议要做以下几件事情：to make apologize to people“向人们道谦”，(to) take some actions right any wrong doings“采取措施纠正错误的所作所为”。
6. A。本来作者是参加一个交际培训班，而现在教员所要学员做的一切似乎与培养交际能力无关，所以作者很纳闷这是否能提高(improve)他的交际能力。
7. B。make a list 意为“列表、造表”。
8. C。play a trick on sb 意为“捉弄某人”。
9. B。sign 意为“记号、标记、符号”，指Jimmy他们写的字。
10. A。appear 意为“出现”，指Sheriff Brown的名字被列在表上。
11. D。alive 意为“活着的”，此时Jimmy还不知道Sheriff Brown是否活着，与后面他们接通电话，证实了Sheriff Brown还活着。所以此处不宜用其他形容词。
12. D。由we had a good laugh 可知 Sheriff 和 Jimmy 进行的是热烈的(lively)讨论。所以不宜选其他形容词。
13. D。后面的句子说明原因，故选 because 引导原因状语从句：因为你的伙伴都把他们做的错事给忘了。下一句表示：而Jimmy却这些年 (nearly 20年) 来一直把他所做过的错事记在心头。
14. C。clear up 意为“消除、解除”，此句意为：在两年里Jimmy鼓励了我消除在我的表上的所有101项(做错了事情)。
15. C。 right 意为“纠正”，此句意为：纠正过去的不道德行为还为时不晚。
