s my fault that she's dead." （第二段用If only …这个虚拟语气句型和It’s my fault that.. 这个句型表达了两位已故女士的儿子表达的内疚,自责之情，开始切入正题。）
When things don't turn out as we would like them to, it is very tempting to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Priests know that any time there is a death, (23) the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course - keeping Mother at home, postponing the operation – would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse? （当事情不像我们所想的那样发展时，我们就很容易认为如果当初用不同的方式来做事的话，也许事情可能就会有更好的结局。牧师们知道每次当有人死亡的时候，生存者就会感到内疚。因为他们所采取的行动导致了不好的结果，于是他们认为相反的行动，会产生好的结果。毕竟，相反的行动不可能导致更糟糕的结局！ 本段是作者对一二两段所引用的事情所作的概括,总结。注意体会assume表示没有根据的认为,假设的内涵。最后一句话it 指代the opposite course。）
There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt. （作者指出我们感到内疚有两个因素，也就是有两个原因，后面两段会围绕这这两个因素展开。两个原因至少考到一个，为因果关系考点。） (24) The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds. (第一个因素是我们相信世界上所发生的事情都是有其理由的，相信任何结果都是有原因的，任何事情的发生都是有原因的。注意believe 后面有两个that, 表达的含义相同，后一个that所引导的内容对上一个分句进行进一步解释和说明，因为the world makes sense说的比较抽象。)
24. In the context of the passage, "... the world makes sense" (Line 2, Para, 4) probably means that ________.
[定位与替换] 本题考查了第一个原因，要求考生根据上下文推断某句话的意思。 C) there's an explanation for everything in the world 世界上事事都有解释（起因），和 that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens.表达的含义一致。
[干扰项分析] A) everything in the world is predetermined. 世界上的事情都是预先确定的，文中无内容支持； B) the world can be interpreted in different ways 世界可以从不同的角度被解释，文中无内容支持；D) we have to be sensible in order to understand the world 为了了解这个世界我们必须有判断力， 文中也无内容支持。 三个干扰项均脱离了文章的主线。
（23）The second element is the notion that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. （第二个因素是有这样一种观念 所有的事情都因我们而起，特别是不好的事情。在本文中不好的事情实际上就是指亲人的死亡。 注意体会notion一词是表示人们头脑中所具有的观点）It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. （我们相信每一件事情都有原因，其程度就快达到相信每个灾难都是我们的错了。这句话的主干结构是It seems to be a short step from A to B.
