17、115 AADBC ABCBA BDDCC1. A 。根据下文可知句意为：教员要求我们把我们过去的任何事情(anything)都列成表，这些事情是我们感到羞愧(ashamed)、后悔或未完成的，然后大声读出。若填something只表示一些事情，与句意不符。ashamed 意为“羞愧的”，根据后面列举的几项，不应该是“害怕的(afraid)”的事情。2. A。private 意为“私人的、保密的、不让人知道的”。上述事情都属于个人隐私，不宜公开。3. D。brave 意为“勇敢的”，尽管是隐私不宜公开，但在自愿者中也有勇敢的人。4. B。suggested 意为“建议”，句子谓语用的动词原形，
18、是虚拟语气，可先排除expected；从说话者语气看，不是“命令”，所以可排除ordered和demanded。5. C。这里教员建议要做以下几件事情：to make apologize to people“向人们道谦”，(to) take some actions right any wrong doings“采取措施纠正错误的所作所为”。6. A。本来作者是参加一个交际培训班，而现在教员所要学员做的一切似乎与培养交际能力无关，所以作者很纳闷这是否能提高(improve)他的交际能力。7. B。make a list 意为“列表、造表”。8. C。play a trick on sb 意为“
19、捉弄某人”。9. B。sign 意为“记号、标记、符号”，指Jimmy他们写的字。10. A。appear 意为“出现”，指Sheriff Brown的名字被列在表上。11. D。alive 意为“活着的”，此时Jimmy还不知道Sheriff Brown是否活着，与后面他们接通电话，证实了Sheriff Brown还活着。所以此处不宜用其他形容词。12. D。由we had a good laugh 可知 Sheriff 和 Jimmy 进行的是热烈的(lively)讨论。所以不宜选其他形容词。13. D。后面的句子说明原因，故选 because 引导原因状语从句：因为你的伙伴都把他们做的错事给忘了。下一句表示：而Jimmy却这些年 (nearly 20年) 来一直把他所做过的错事记在心头。14. C。clear up 意为“消除、解除”，此句意为：在两年里Jimmy鼓励了我消除在我的表上的所有101项(做错了事情)。15. C。 right 意为“纠正”，此句意为：纠正过去的不道德行为还为时不晚。
