2023年英语高考全国Ⅰ卷七选五阅读---个人原谅
高考真题：七选五
个人原谅是放下对伤害或冤枉自己的人所产生的怨恨、愤怒或负面情绪的行为。它包括承认所造成的痛苦，但选择释放情感负担，不寻求报复或怀恨。个人原谅是一个深层次的个人过程，可以带来内心的平静、愈合和情感自由。它并不意味着对伤害你的人的行为表示宽恕或遗忘，而是选择释放与事件相关的负面情绪，并找到一种更健康、积极的方式向前迈进。
Personal Forgiveness
个人原谅
Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. To err (犯错) is human. 36 You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this.
In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” 37 Are you caring? Creative? Generous? A good listener? Fun to be around? They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of.
At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. 38 .
You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. 39 That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this—it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time.
It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. 40 We’re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow.
A. A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way.
适当地自我宽容也能走很长远。
B. Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself.
现在列出你喜欢的自我的所有特点。
C. They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise.
他们甚至可能愿意尝试做这个练习。
D. It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness.
给自己一些宽恕同样重要。
E. It doesn’t mean you have to ignore what’s happened or forget it.
这并不意味着你需要忽视已经发生的事情或忘记它。
F. Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down.
无论是什么事情，无论看起来多么微小，都写下来。
G. Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality.
无论犯了什么错误，记住它并不是你个性的固定方面。
答案解析
36．选D。根据标题Personal Forgiveness个人原谅可知本文的主旨是“要原谅自己”。第一段往往也会阐明文章的主要观点。空后“You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this. (你可以使用下面的写作练习来帮助你做到这一点)”中的“do this”以及下文内容可推断，“do this”指代的就是forgive yourself。选项D“It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness. (宽恕自己也同样重要)”与“forgive yourself”语意相近，起承上启下的作用。故选D。
37．选B。根据空前内容“In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths. ” (在日记或纸上写上“个人优点”)”以及空后内容“Are you caring? Creative? Generous? A good listener? Fun to be around? They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of. (你有爱心吗？有创造力吗？你慷慨吗？是一个好的倾听者？与人相处很有趣吗？它们不一定要改变世界，只要你个性中让你感到自豪的方面就行)”可知前后是一种总分关系，所以空格处指的是列出一些你个性中的优点（总）。选项B“Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself. (现在列出所有你喜欢的自己身上的特点)”符合上下文内容，下文内容具体解释哪些是优点。故选B。
38．选F。尾句一般是照应前文的总结。空格前举例讲述的是一些自己所做的好事。选项F“Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down. (不管是什么，不管它看起来有多小，都要把它写下来)”与上文内容一致，讲述的是不管你所做的事情不管有多小，只要是好的事情，都记下来。故选F。
39．选C。根据You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list（你可以请朋友或家人帮忙补充你的清单。）可知接下来应该是顺承a friend or family member adds to your list。选项C“They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise. (他们甚至可能想试一试做练习)”主语they与a friend or family member自然顺承衔接， 符合语境，
40．选G。根据空格后“We’ re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow. (我们一直在改变和学习，错误是一种积极的发展和成长的方式)”changing和选项G“Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality. (不管你犯了什么错误，记住这不是你性格中固定的一面)”中的a fixed aspect 一层不变构成正反的解释修正关系，符合语境，故选G。

长难句分析
1.Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. 承担错误的责任是积极的一步，但不要对自己过于自责。
本句是动名词做主语的系表结构。理解的难点在于 beat yourself up about/over sth.这个固定短语的意思是“为某事过分自责”。
“Beat yourself up about” is an idiomatic expression that means to criticize or blame oneself excessively or harshly for a mistake, failure, or wrongdoing. It refers to the act of being overly self-critical and dwelling on one’s faults or shortcomings. This expression implies a self-punishing mindset and a tendency to be unforgiving towards oneself.
2. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day.
这可能是这样的一些时候：帮助朋友做作业、主动熨衣服或在家人疲惫的一天后烤饼干的时候。
本句话是3个when引导的并列的定语从句，先行词是the time。
