9、d,the longest pause of my short life,and answered,Yes.”可知,母亲停顿了很长时间,这意味着她思考了较长的时间才回答了女儿的问题。这说明女儿的问题很难回答。故选C项。2.D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“My heart jumped.”可知,“我”很高兴。故选D项。3.D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“No matter what he suffered.became something beautiful.”可知,雨就像父亲经历的艰难时光。故选D项。4.C 主旨大意题。本文是一篇记叙文,文章以红气球为主线贯穿整篇文章,红气球也象征着

10、父亲。故选C项。二、单句语法填空。1They _(interrupt) by a sudden and urgent knock at the door.答案：were interrupted表示过去发生的动作，且主语they与interrupt之间为被动关系，故应用一般过去时的被动语态，填were interrupted。2We have no alternative but _(sell) our house to pay the debt.答案：to sellhave no alternative but to do . “除之外别无选择，只能做”。3It is generally _(

And can we just call it a day？” Caroline says. As tempting as it can be to move on an

16、d bury the hatchet(和解), that type of apology wont sit well with the person on the receiving end. “That whole little thingI never meant to hurt youis the thing you cant forgive，” she says. “That sick feeling goes right to your soul.”Instead, Caroline says its important to approach the conversation di

17、fferently. Ultimately, its about offering more than an apology. 3. “Lets redo the scene，” Caroline says.“The person comes up to you and says, I need to tell you something. 4. It was guilt. I heard my conscience tell me not to do this but I didnt listen. And I now know that my actions redirected the

18、course of your life. This is not an apology. I am confessing(忏悔) my soul to you. 5. ”Even saying those words on stages makes Caroline visibly emotional, and she points out that this is how deeply within the soul apologies are supposed to resonate. And thats what heals.AHere is my apology.BBut it doe

19、snt matter to you.CIm asking now for your forgiveness.DI consciously knew what I was doing.EBut you know I never meant to hurt you.FIts about sharing a soultosoul confession.GHowever, its not a suitable way to apologize.【解题导语】本文援引了Caroline Myss的话向读者阐明了用“我从没想过要伤害你”来道歉是不够的。1G解析：根据下文的内容尤其是“She explaine

20、d why I never meant to hurt you is never a sufficient apology, no matter who it comes from.”可知，此处讲的应是用“我从没想过要伤害你”这句话来道歉的不足，故G项“但是，这并不是一种合适的道歉的方法”符合语境。2E解析：根据本段内容可知，此处是Caroline Myss让大家想象一下有人用“我从没想过要伤害你”来向你道歉时的情景，故E项符合题意。3F解析：根据上文的“its about offering more than an apology”以及下文的“This is not an apology.

21、I am confessing(忏悔) my soul to you.”可知F项与之相呼应，表示道歉应该是心灵对心灵的忏悔。下文中的“within the soul”亦是提示。故选F。4D解析：根据空后的“It was guilt. I heard my conscience tell me not to do this but I didnt listen.”可知，此处讲的应该是当时所做的错事方面的内容，故D项符合语境。5C解析：根据上文中的“As tempting as it can be to move on and bury the hatchet(和解).”可知，向别人道歉的目的是获

22、得别人的谅解，故C项符合语境。四、单句改错。1Assumed that the weather is favorable, farmers will have a good harvest._答案：AssumedAssumingAssuming that . “假定/假设”，常位于句首作状语。2He could have finished it on schedule, but anyhow he fell behind._答案：anyhowsomehowsomehow “不知怎么地；以某种方式”。anyhowanyway “尽管如此”。3Im very sorry to interrupt

23、with you, but I have something important to tell you._答案：去掉withinterrupt为及物动词，interrupt sb./sth. “打断某人/某事”。4We had been waiting for you for an hour; we dont want to wait any longer._答案：hadhave由语境可知，“等待”这个动作应是持续到现在，故应用现在完成进行时。5Which is mentioned above, they have succeeded in solving many problems wit

24、h the new theory._答案：WhichAs该句中从句为as引导的非限制性定语从句。which引导的非限制性定语从句不能置于句首。As is mentioned above “正如上面所提到的那样”。五、短文改错。It is clear shown that many middle school students have physical and mental problems.68% of the students surveying have studying anxiety as well as poor eyesight too.And a larger percenta
