Question

阅读下列材料，在空白处填人适当的内容（1个单词）或用括号内单词的正确形式。

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible — and it can be surprisingly   1.  (benefit) to your physical and mental health. So far, research 2.  (show) that people who forgive can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. “People who forgive show   3. (little) anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help reduce the tiredness out of the immune system and allow people      4.   (feel) more energetic.”

So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something    _5. gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for an    6. (apologize). “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things in   7.  same way. So if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting a very long time.”

Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean   8.   (accept) the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective. You may realize 9. he or she was acting out of ignorance. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to 10.   (you) from that person’s point of view.

【解析】

试题分析：通过本文考查了学生对一些英语语法的理解和应用。如固定搭配，形容词副词的区别，名词的用法等。

1.beneficial 考查短语。be beneficial to“对……有益”，为固定短语，所以这里需用形容词。

2.has shown 考查现在完成时。so far与现在完成时连用，所以这里需用现在完成时，需填has shown。

3.less 考查比较级。由后文的more helpful可知，该空需用比较级形式，little的比较级为less。

4.to feel 考查连词。allow sb to do sth“允许某人做某事”，所以该空需填to feel。

5.that 考查关系代词。something作先行词时，关系代词用that。

6.apology 考查名词。冠词an后需用名词，apologize为动词，需改为名词apology。

7.the 考查短语。same前通常要有定冠词the。

8.accepting考查固定搭配。mean doing sth“意味着做某事”，为固定搭配。

9.that 考查宾语从句。句意：你可能意识到他或她出于无知而行动。这里that引导的宾语从句作realize的宾语。

10.yourself 考查反身代词。这里指的是给自己写信，所以需用反身代词yourself。

考点：语篇理解以及语法知识。
