A
On a recent afternoon, some 60 years after they graduated from grammar school, Kathleen Rys, 72, and her sister Lorraine O’Kelly, 70, sat down and had a meal with a classmate, Bruce Smit, 71, for the first time.
In the 1950s, Lorraine and Kathleen Rys’ family moved from Chicago to Monee. As new kids at Monee Elementary School, they soon found themselves on the outs with other students.
“I would be with the other guys and see Kathleen walking  down the hallway, her head down, holding her books, walking slowly. And all of us guys would lean against the wall until she passed. Then we’d burst into laughter. How rude is that? It’s just crazy, ” said Bruce, a doctor whose wife, Tammy, organized the meeting.
The women said none of the teachers cared about it. “We just kept it to ourselves,” Lorraine said.
Over the years, Tammy Smit said, “Bruce would just start to cry at times. He’d wonder what happened to the sisters, if they led a good life.” One day a few weeks ago, Tammy took to the Internet and found Mary O’Kelly, Lorraine’s daughter, and offered to set up a meeting. The idea of revisiting the pain was not well­received by Kathleen, who had never married, let alone gone on a date. It took some convincing, but Lorraine finally got Kathleen to agree to meet with Bruce.[]
Bruce broke into tears. “I’m so ashamed, so embarrassed, ” he said. “But I’m so happy that you’re still here and that I can finally apologize.” He said he hoped his apology would encourage others to seek forgiveness for the pain they had made on others. Lorraine said, “This is a beautiful thing. It’s just wonderful that a person can ask for forgiveness after about 60 years. It’s like a miracle to us. It’s healing to us.”

1.B 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“And all of us guys would lean against the wall until she passed. Then we’d burst into laughter. How rude is that?”可知,Bruce和其他男生都紧靠着墙,直到Kathleen走过去,然后他们突然大笑起来,这是非常无礼的;并结合前两段内容可推知,Kathleen曾经受到同班同学的伤害,故B项正确。
2.D 解析:代词指代题。根据第三段中的“And all of us guys would lean against the wall until she passed. Then we’d burst into laughter. How rude is that?”可知,Bruce和其他男生都紧靠着墙,直到Kathleen走过去,然后他们突然大笑起来,这是非常无礼的;并结合第四段中的“The women said none of the teachers cared about it.”和“We just kept it to ourselves”可知,没有任何老师对此表示关心,她们也不对别人说;据此可推知,it指代Kathleen因受到同班同学的嘲笑而遭受的精神上的痛苦,故D项正确。
3.C 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中Bruce所说的话“But I’m so happy that you’re still here and that I can finally apologize.”可知,Bruce对能有机会向她们道歉感到很高兴;根据最后一段中Lorraine所说的话“This is a beautiful thing. It’s just wonderful that a person can ask for forgiveness after about 60 years. It’s like a miracle to us. It’s healing to us.”可知,Lorraine认为大约60年前嘲笑过她们的人能请求原谅是一件美好的事情;据此可推知,这次会面让三人都感到宽慰,故C项正确。
