话题一良好的人际关系与社会交往(A)

A

[2019·安徽示范高中高三考试]

“Joe? Is that you？”The woman speaking to me at the baseball game looked a little familiar. “Marci？” I asked. “It is you！”she cried out, smiling broadly. “It's good to see you again！”

It was good to see Marci, too. Off and on during the past few decades, I've wondered about her. I almost tried to search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci. So meeting her at the baseball game was really a surprise.

We spent a few minutes talking about our lives — the good old, bad old days. Then Marci grew quiet for a moment, “You know, Joe，”she said，“I've always wanted to tell you how...how... sorry I am for the way I treated you. You must have been hurt both physically and mentally. ”I was a little embarrassed. I turned and looked at her.“It's OK，” I said，“No big deal！”“But I was such a jerk，” she continued. Yes, you were, I thought.“We were both pretty young，”I smiled.“I know，”she said.“It's just always bothered me, remembering how mean I was to you. And I've wanted to tell you that I'm sorry.” The expression on her face was warm and sincere. And there was something in her eyes — it looked a lot like relief.“OK，” I said. “Apology accepted！” Overcome by the sweetness of the moment, I reached an arm around her and gave her a quick hug. Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game. By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was gone. But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there, and continues to this day whenever I think about it.

It isn't enough to just say “I'm sorry”and “You're forgiven”. But when those words are truly felt and sincerely expressed, they can open the door to miracles of the heart.

Forgiveness can bring peace to an injured soul — even years after the fact. Even at a baseball game.

体裁：记叙文题材：个人经历主题：原谅创造的奇迹

【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。“我”在棒球赛场见到了多年未见的朋友Marci。她见到“我”后为以前那样对待“我”向“我”真诚地道歉，“我”立刻原谅了她。之后我们都感觉到温暖和愉快。

【难句分析】I almost tried to search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci.

分析：该句为主从复合句。句中“who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci”为who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词a friend，who 在从句中作主语；该从句又含有that 引导的宾语从句“that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci”，作及物动词indicated的宾语。

译文：几年前，我和一个朋友聊天，那个朋友暗示20世纪90年代对Marci来说相当艰难，之后我几乎想要找她了。

1．What kind of life did Marci live during the late 20th century according to the passage?

A．Happy. B．Busy.

C．Hard. D．Simple.

答案与解析：C考查细节理解。根据第二段第三句“I almost tried to search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci”可知，在20世纪90年代Marci生活得很艰难，故C项正确。

【干扰项分析】A项意为“幸福的”，B项意为“忙碌的”，D项意为“简单的”，都与文意不符。

2．What does the underlined word “jerk”in the third paragraph mean?

A．A humorous person. B．A cruel person.
