(2018·东北三省四市模拟)On April 14th, 2010, my entire life changed in an instant. One moment I was joyfully riding through the sunshine. The next moment, metal, flesh and bones were spreading against the pavement in a thunderous crash. Another cyclist, biking carelessly, had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming traffic.
As if to symbolize the accident that had hit my life, another disaster also occurred on April 14th, 2010. It cost the airline industry $ 1.7 billion. Ten million travelers were stuck for days. Economics all over the world were disturbed. This was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, one of Iceland’s many volcanoes.
However, volcanoes are not all bad. In fact, they are necessary. They are responsible for the birth of new earth, and for the creation of rich soil. This eruption gave off 0.15 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere daily. But cancelling 48% of the world’s flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere, temporarily decreasing our carbon footprint.
Similarly, the accident had badly affected my emotion but it also allowed me to look more closely inside myself and discover things about myself I would never have realized. I learned how not to judge myself for my new limitations.
In 1973, another Icelandic volcano, Eldfell, broke out. Icelanders decided to bomb it with cold water until it froze and chose a different path. After their plan worked, they used the geothermal(地热的) energy for the next 15 years to heat their homes. A good example of life bringing lemons, and making lemonade! One must move on from misfortunes，focusing only on the present moment and being hopeful for the future.
I ran from April 14th, 2010, to every kind of escape. Eventually I ended up in university for a new­found love in Earth sciences.

(2018·辽宁部分重点高中统考)When apologizing, chances are that you’ve uttered the phrase, “I never meant to hurt you.” 1.________
In a talk, Caroline Myss, a spiritual seeker and researcher, took on the topic of forgiveness and healing. She explained why “I never meant to hurt you” is never a sufficient apology, no matter who it comes from.
“Picture that person coming up to you and saying, ‘I’m sorry I did this. 2.________ And can we just call it a day？’” Caroline says. As tempting as it can be to move on and bury the hatchet(和解), that type of apology won’t sit well with the person on the receiving end. “That whole little thing—‘I never meant to hurt you’—is the thing you can’t forgive，” she says. “That sick feeling goes right to your soul.”
Instead, Caroline says it’s important to approach the conversation differently. Ultimately, it’s about offering more than an apology. 3.________
“Let’s 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 didn’t listen. And I now know that my actions redirected the 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 that’s what heals.
A．Here is my apology.
B．But it doesn’t matter to you.
C．I’m asking now for your forgiveness.
D．I consciously knew what I was doing.
E．But you know I never meant to hurt you.
F．It’s about sharing a soul­to­soul confession.
G．However, it’s 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。
1．G　解析：根据下文的内容尤其是“She explained 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。
2．E　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。
3．F　解析：根据上文的“it’s about offering more than an apology”以及下文的“This is not an apology. 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。
4．D　解析：根据空后的“It was guilt. I heard my conscience tell me not to do this but I didn’t 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。
5．C　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得别人的谅解，故C项符合语境。

【解题导语】　近年来，成都通过文化交流，大大提升了在世界上的影响力。本文介绍了2017年春节期间在西班牙举办的成都(文化)周，剪纸、皮影戏和变脸等传统艺术或表演引起了轰动。
1．strengthen　解析：考查词性转换。句意：……因为这座城市已经采取行动来加强其与世界其他地区的文化交流。空后是名词结构，所以此处用动词，和空前的to构成动词不定式结构。故填strengthen。
2．was hosted　解析：考查动词的时态和语态。设空处在句中作谓语，和主语Chengdu Week之间是被动关系，且根据时间状语in January可知，动作发生在过去，所以用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was hosted。
3．which　解析：考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，设空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为Happy Spring Festival，指物，且在从句中作主语，故用which引导该从句。
4．the　解析：考查冠词。此处特指传统的中国春节假期，故用定冠词the。
5．patiently　解析：考查词性转换。设空处修饰谓语动词introduced，作状语，应用副词。故填patiently。
6．on　解析：考查固定搭配。句意：在节日期间，经典的地方艺术形式如剪纸、皮影戏和变脸表演均在马德里著名的马约尔广场进行。on display为固定搭配，意为“展览；展出”。
7．amazing　解析：考查词性转换。设空处在系动词are后作表语，主语为The performances(表演)，前有副词so修饰，所以用amazing，意为“惊人的；了不起的”。
8．similarities　解析：考查词性转换及名词单复数。句意：卡梅纳市长说两个城市在很多方面有相似点，她希望两个城市能够在旅游业和文化方面有比以往更深入的交流。设空处作谓语动词shared的宾语，应用名词：similarity为可数名词，所以用复数形式。
9．further　解析：考查形容词比较级。根据后面的标志词than可知，此处用比较级。
10．and　解析：考查连词。between...and...为固定搭配，意为“在……和……之间”。
