Question

Not long before,my daughter's shoes were scratched(劃破) with a knife. She burst into tears. I took them to the shoemaker's.

The young apprentice(學(xué)徒) glanced at the1   and said, "Nothing I can do except2    the upper." His master looked at them and said，"If you3   me，I will add more scratches on both the shoes." I was4   and asked why. He explained, "As if the openings were made5   for a special style." I didn't fully understand him,6   I decided to leave the shoes.

Two days later I dropped by from work to7   the shoes. I found more scratches on each shoe;all the openings were patched(縫補(bǔ)) by soft red leather;the stitches(針腳) were twisted with the appearance looking more8   and interesting than ever. I couldn't help praising the master's 9.   

Another time,my sister's blouse was torn,leaving a large opening. My wife checked it10   ， and then said，"Let me take it home and11    it."

Three days later,seeing it again, I was greatly12    ：all the torn parts took on a look of ice crystal(水晶) ;attached to it was a snowman made of flowery rags.1 sighed with13    , "It's amazing！”

"I was14    by that shoemaker. Patches are supposed to be15    ，but a skillful craftsman (工匠) can make it take on a kind of16    ， ”replied my wife.

Her words inspired me more：perfection is impossible to achieve in17   ;patches appear in the18   of injury,disability or disease. Since you can't change the existence of wound,you should not19   people' s sympathy by disclosing the wound,which is meaningless. Just sew the 20   by patches and produce a most beautiful flower on it,and that is the significance of life.

Answer 1

女兒的鞋子被刀劃破了，技術(shù)高超的鞋匠將其修補(bǔ)得無(wú)比可愛(ài)；妹妹的襯衫被撕破了 ，卻在妻子的匠心獨(dú)運(yùn)中成為了藝術(shù)品.，對(duì)待生活中的"傷口"又該如何？用"補(bǔ)丁"將其縫合并點(diǎn)綴上美麗的鮮花，這就是人生的意義。

1. B上文提到作者女兒的鞋子被刀劃破了，由此可知學(xué)徒應(yīng)是看了看鞋的"開(kāi)口處"，下文中也多次出現(xiàn)了opening這個(gè)詞。

2. A學(xué)徒對(duì)被刀子劃破的鞋無(wú)計(jì)可施，只能"更換" 上面的部分。后三項(xiàng)都不符合語(yǔ)境。

3. D上文提到學(xué)徒只能更換被劃破的部分。再根據(jù)師傅所說(shuō)的話可知他另有妙招，但是需要首先取得作者的信任才行。假如選擇C項(xiàng)，需要在后面加上with 

4. B作者的目的是修理鞋子的破口，而修鞋師傅竟然打算在兩只鞋上劃出更多的傷痕，作者自然感到"迷惑不解"，并詢問(wèn)其中的原因。

5. A修鞋師傅解釋說(shuō)這樣看起來(lái)這些劃痕似乎是為了某種特殊的風(fēng)格而"故意"制作的„后三項(xiàng)分別表示"偶然""特別，尤其""依次，反過(guò)來(lái)"，都不符合語(yǔ)境。

6. D雖然作者不能充分理解對(duì)方的話，但是還是決定把鞋留給對(duì)方修理，此處表示的是轉(zhuǎn)折含義。

7. B上文提到作者把鞋交給了修鞋師傅，所以來(lái)這里是把鞋"取走"。

8. C 4艮據(jù)后面的interesting和praise可知彎彎曲曲的針腳縫補(bǔ)的地方看起來(lái)更加"可愛(ài)"。

9. A作者情不自禁地贊美修鞋師傅的高超"技術(shù)" 倒數(shù)第二段中的skillful也是提示。

10. C既然村衫被撕破，留下一個(gè)大口子，作者的妻子應(yīng)該是"仔細(xì)地"看過(guò)之后再做出決定。

11. D上文提到襯衫被撕破，自然是得帶回家"修補(bǔ)"。

12. C雖然襯衫被撕破了一個(gè)大口子，但是經(jīng)過(guò)作者妻子的修補(bǔ)，所有被撕破的部分都呈現(xiàn)出水晶的外形并且被精心設(shè)計(jì)，由此可知作者感到非常"驚奇"。

13. C由"It's amazing!"可知作者想不到破襯衫在妻子的巧妙設(shè)計(jì)下竟然變成了工藝品，自然由衷"贊嘆"。

14. B作者妻子是受到那個(gè)修鞋師傅的啟發(fā)，才對(duì)那件被槲破的襯衫進(jìn)行了巧妙的修補(bǔ)。下一 段開(kāi)頭處的inspired也是提示。

15. C根據(jù)常識(shí)和上下文可知補(bǔ)丁本來(lái)是非常"難看的"。

16. B但是能工巧匠卻可以讓它變得十分"完美".，下一段首句中的perfection也是提示。

17. C作者根據(jù)上文的敘述而引發(fā)感.慨："人生" 不可以達(dá)到完美。文章最后一句也是提示

18. A in the form of表示"以. 形式";in the name of表示"以.. 名義";in the shape of表示''以形狀"，都不符合語(yǔ)境。

19. D既然你無(wú)法改變傷口的存在，你就不應(yīng)該揭開(kāi)傷口來(lái)"期待"人們的同情，這么做毫無(wú)意義。

20. A由上一句可知此處應(yīng)選wound.—.用補(bǔ)丁將"傷口"縫合并點(diǎn)綴上美麗的鮮花，這就是人生的意義。
