【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了如何为自己的错误道歉。
1.下文“Apologies are most likely to be well-received if you show that you recognize who was responsible and who was harmed. For example, saying ‘I made a mistake’ is more effective than saying ‘mistakes were made’, which fails to clarify responsibility.(如果你表现出你认识到谁应该负责,谁受到了伤害,那么道歉最有可能被接受。例如,说“我犯了一个错误”比说“犯了错误”更有效,因为“犯了错误”无法明确责任)”通过举例的方式说明道歉要明确,要真诚,为C项“But many apologies don’t do this enough.(但很多道歉都不足以做到这一点)”中提出的问题提供应对策略,上下文语意连贯。故选C项。
2.设空处是段首主题句,根据下文“In some cases, it’s helpful to explain an offense, especially to explain that it was not intentional and that it will not happen again. But explanations that are long-winded, sound like excuses, or blame the victim (e. g. You were really getting on my nerves.) tend to have an opposite effect.(在某些情况下,解释一个冒犯是有帮助的,尤其是解释它不是故意的,并且不会再发生。但是,冗长的解释,听起来像借口,或指责受害者(例如,你真的让我心烦意乱)往往会产生相反的效果)”可知,本段主要讲要对冒犯进行合理的解释,所以A项“Provide a proper explanation.(提供一个恰当的解释)”是最佳主题句。故选A项。
3.根据下文“Expressing these feelings communicates that you recognize and regret the suffering you caused.(表达这些感受表明你认识到并后悔你造成的痛苦)”和指代关系可知,上文中会出现“these feelings”指代的情绪,同时这些情绪和给别人带来痛苦有关,D项“When you hurt someone, it’s natural to feel shame or regret. (当你伤害了别人,感到羞愧或后悔是很自然的)”中“shame or regret”即下文指代对象,同时是给别人带来痛苦后的感受,上下文语意连贯。故选D项。
4.上文“Be careful of phrases like ‘That was uncharacteristic of me.’(小心像“那不是我的风格”这样的措词)”提出在表达道歉时,用些措词要慎用,F项“This might show that you aren’t taking full ownership for what happened.(这可能表明你没有为发生的事情承担全部责任)”解释了原因:说“那不是我的风格”说明自己并没有为发生的事情承担全部责任。上下文衔接自然。故选F项。
5.上文“Tell them how you’ll change. Let them know how you’ll change and what you’d do to make that possible.(告诉他们你会如何改变。让他们知道你将如何改变,以及你会做些什么来实现这一目标)”提出道歉要承诺改变,给出方法,E项“A true apology is one where you promise it won’t be repeated again.(真正的道歉是你保证不会再犯)”承接上文,说明承诺改变,给出方法才是真正的道歉,照应本段主题。故选E项。
