After years of searching, a truth seeker was told to go to a cave, in which he would find a well. “Ask the well what is 36 , ” he was advised, “and the well reveal (告訴,揭露) it to you.” Having found the well, the seeker asked that most basic and important 37 . And from the depths came the answer: “Go to the village crossroad, and there you shall find what you are seeking.”
Full of 38 the man ran to the crossroad to 39 only three rather uninteresting shops. One shop was selling pieces of metal, another sold 40 , and thin wires were for sale in the third. Nothing and no one there seemed to 41 much to do with the revelation of truth.
Disappointed, the seeker returned to the well to demand an 42 , but he was told only: “You will 43 in the future.”
As years went by, the 44 of his experience at the well gradually 45 until one night, while he was walking, the sound of sitar (西塔琴) music 46 his attention. It was wonderful and it was 47 with great skill and inspiration.
Deeply 48 , the truth seeker felt drawn towards the 49 . He looked at the fingers dancing over the strings. And then suddenly he let out a cry of joyful 50 : the sitar was made out of wires and pieces of metal and wood just like 51 he had once seen in the three stores.
At last he understood the 52 of the well: we have already been given everything we need; our 53 is to assemble (聚集) and use them in the proper way. Nothing is 54 so long as we recognize only fragments (碎片). But as soon as the pieces are put together, something new appears, whose nature we could not have 55 by considering the fragments alone.

【解析】
試題分析:本文通過真理追尋者在“井”的指引下去追尋真理,但是還是沒有弄得“真理是什么”。然而真理是樸素的,不深奧也不華麗;真理是離你最近的,需要你在“驀然回首”處領悟。最后真理追尋者通過自己的領悟明白了那口井的意思:世界早已給予了我們需要的一切東西,我們只需要將它們組合起來,并以適當?shù)姆绞饺ナ褂盟鼈儭H绻覀冎豢吹搅阈堑乃槠,那一切就都不會有意義?芍灰覀儗⑦@些碎片組合起來形成一個整體,新的事物便會產(chǎn)生,并且新事物的性質是我們僅從碎片上無法預見的。
1.A由上文的a truth seeker 可知,選A 項(原詞復現(xiàn))。hope希望;future未來;music音樂。句意:尋尋覓覓多年,真理追尋者被告知去往一個洞穴中,在那里,他將會找到一口井!叭柲强诰裁词钦胬恚彼玫竭@樣的建議,“那口井就會告訴你什么是真理!
2.C由下文的answer 可知,此處選C 項(question問題)。fact事實;reason理由;well井。句意:他得到這樣的建議,“那口井就會告訴你什么是真理。”追尋者在找到那口井后,問了那個最重要的問題。從井底深處傳來一個聲音:“去村里的十字路口,在那兒可以找到你想尋覓的答案!
3.B聽說能找到問題的答案,那個人自然是懷著“希望(hope)”跑向十字路口。energy 能量;mystery秘密,謎,神秘,神秘的事物。surprise驚訝。
4.C結果在十字路口,那個人只是“發(fā)現(xiàn)(find)”了三個毫不起眼的商店。get得到,獲得;count計數(shù),數(shù)數(shù);open開張,開著。句意:追尋者滿懷希望和憧憬奔到十字路口,卻只看到三家毫不起眼的店鋪。
5.D由后文的“the sitar was made out of wires and pieces of metal and wood just like 51 he had once seen in the three stores.”可知, 此空選wood(原詞復現(xiàn))。句意:一家在賣金屬片,另一家在賣木材,第三家則在賣細金屬絲。
6.B三家店鋪里的物品和人似乎都與真理無啥聯(lián)系。have sth. to do with是固定短語,意為“與……有關系”。connect連接,聯(lián)結;使……有聯(lián)系;prepare準備;offer主動提供。
7.A探索者很失望地回到水井那兒要求水井一個“解釋”。(他按照水井指點的去做卻沒有找到真理,他希望水井能“解釋explanation”一下)。advice建議;excuse原諒,借口;opportunity機會,機遇。
8.D根據(jù)最后一段的“At last he understood the 52 of the well”可知, 此處填understand(原詞復現(xiàn))。句意:追尋者感到很失望,回到井邊想討個說法,但井只告訴他:“你將來會明白的!眘ucceed 成功
discover 發(fā)現(xiàn);pay付出。
9.C與下面的一小題一并考慮。根據(jù)上文的敘述我們知道真理追尋者在“井邊的那段經(jīng)歷”談不上什么“bitterness痛苦”或“failure失敗”(如果是痛苦的話,那就必定是失敗的,反過來亦然),更沒有什么“secret秘密”可言。所以答案只能是“記憶memory”了。句意:他漸漸淡忘了井邊的那段經(jīng)歷,直到有一天晚上,他沐浴著月光漫步在路上,被耳畔傳來的一陣西塔琴的演奏聲吸引住了。
10.C 根據(jù)常識“隨著時間的推移”,人們的記憶不可能成倍(doubled)增加。根據(jù)下文,這兒不是說
“他的記憶恢復了(recovered)”,故排除A、D 選項。那么剩下來的要么是“記憶的遺忘(forgot)或是消失
(disappeared)”。但是若要選B項,則應用被動語態(tài),故答案只能是C項。
11.D catch one’s attention 吸引某人的注意力(西塔琴的演奏聲吸引了他的注意力);pay one's attention to把注意力集中在某一件事上。其余兩個詞(lose, split)不跟“attention”搭配構成動詞短語。句意:他漸漸淡忘了井邊的那段經(jīng)歷,直到有一天晚上,他沐浴著月光漫步在路上,被耳畔傳來的一陣西塔琴的演奏聲吸引住了。
12.A it指代music,與play搭配意為“演奏音樂”。句意:那音樂相當美妙,彈奏的人琴藝高超,令聽者深受鼓舞。broadcast 廣播;enjoy 欣賞;conduct 指揮。
13.B上文的“inspiration(鼓舞)”已經(jīng)暗示了答案。如此美妙、令人鼓舞的音樂自然會讓人“感動(moved)”。annoyed 生氣的;confused困惑的;frightened害怕的, 均不符合上下文的語境。
14.D player 指演奏音樂的人,與15.呼應。adviser提建議者;director導演;composer 作曲者。句意:真理追尋者被深深地打動了,他不由自主地被彈琴的人吸引了過去。
16.C他因為“認出了”制作西塔琴的線、金屬和木頭就是他曾經(jīng)在商店里見過的那些東西,而發(fā)出欣喜的叫聲。admiration 羨慕,欽佩;distinction 區(qū)別,差別;recognition 認出,識別;imagination 想像力。recognition符合語境。
17.A those 在本句中代替上文提到的wires,metal and wood 作后面定語從句的先行詞。that 與it 代
替單數(shù)名詞;them不能用作先行詞。本段的文意:真理追尋者被深深地打動了,他不由自主地被彈琴的人吸引了過去?粗鴱椙偃说氖种冈谇傧疑蠐軇语w舞,他突然注意到了錫塔琴本身。隨即,他喜不自禁地叫了出來,因為他發(fā)現(xiàn)錫塔琴正是由細金屬絲、金屬片和木頭組成的——這些正和他之前在那三個店鋪里看到過的物品一樣。
18.B最后他終于明白了水井傳達的寓意。secret 秘密;message 消息, 信息, 要點, 寓意;theory 理論;benefit 利益,好處。B項符合句意。
19.C下文“to assemble (聚集) and use them in the proper way(用恰當?shù)姆绞桨阉鼈兙奂饋聿⑹褂?”指的應該是“任務(task)”。target目標;difficulty困難;shortcoming缺點。
句意:我們需要的東西都已經(jīng)有了,我們的“任務”是用恰當?shù)姆绞桨阉鼈兙奂饋聿⑹褂谩?就像把線、金屬和木頭用恰當?shù)姆绞骄奂揭黄鹁湍茏龀鑫魉僖粯印?.
20.B根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的闡述,我們不難推出“如果我們看到的只是碎片,那就沒什么意義的”也就是我們常常所說的“不要孤立地看問題”。 meaningful 有意義的;interesting 有趣的;accessible 可接近的;successful 成功的。
21.A它的本質即新生事物的本質不可能是靠我們?nèi)ァ皼Q定的(decided)”、“形成的(formed)”或是去“判定的(judged)”,而只能靠我們?nèi)ァ邦A見的” (比如,我們只是孤立地去看線、金屬和木頭,也就無法預見它們能做成西塔琴后的本質)。最后一段的文意:他終于明白了那口井的意思:我們需要的東西都已經(jīng)有了,我們的“任務”是用恰當?shù)姆绞桨阉鼈兙奂饋聿⑹褂。世界早已給予了我們需要的一切東西,我們只需要將它們組合起來,并以適當?shù)姆绞饺ナ褂盟鼈。如果我們只看到零星的碎片,那一切就都不會有意義?墒且坏┪覀儗⑦@些碎片組合起來形成一個整體,新的事物便會產(chǎn)生,并且新事物的性質是我們僅從碎片上無法預見的。

Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus(女圣誕老人)! Mrs. Claus would award(獎勵) the lucky child free 40 of a local store.
Well, the call came. My mother talked to Mrs. Claus and then 41 the phone to me. I didn’t 42 the fact that many people were listening to our conversation. However, the fact that this lady had a 43 connection to Santa, that was important.
I didn’t know it yet, but my mother had 44 the attention of the contest judges by telling about the time I had 45 a wall with crayons(蠟筆). Even I knew that this was not the kind of 46 that Santa would approve.
Suddenly, in a very pleasant tone(語氣)of 47 , Mrs. Santa Claus asked me about my art work. I 48 that this lady was the real Mrs. Claus, not a radio station actress standing in for her.
I 49 down the phone and ran crying from the room. My crime(罪行)had not 50 unpunished. Santa would 51 know that I’d been bad!
It turned out that I did get a 52 present from the radio station and its sponsor(贊助商). And I guess Santa didn’t find out about the wall. Maybe he did and was in a 53 mood. In any case, my Christmas presents did not 54 a piece of coal(煤).
I wonder what Santa has in 55 for this year. Hopefully my wife hasn’t written Mrs. Claus any letters.

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him 36 he thought he was able to be so much more 37 than the average person.

When his mother came in, 41 shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful 42 you have made! I have 43 seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been 44 . Would you like to get down and 45 in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"
Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to 46 everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海綿), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.
His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a 47 experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two 48 hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he 49 the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful 50 !
This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be 51 to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just 52 for learning something new, which is, 53 , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't 54 ," we usually learn something 55 from it.

It was 4 o’clock in the morning, when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 1 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We’ve called for a (n) 2 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.”
Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 3 .
The doctor described the accident, which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers. When they 4 the charcoal (木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed (噴灑) too much gasoline (petrol). The flames 5 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to his head.
6 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 7 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars (傷疤). So, he had to return to college with scars.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 8 scar on her arm. “Ann, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It doesn’t mean they won’t 9 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 10 this wisdom (智慧) on to my son. He took my advice to 11 and returned to school with his head held high — glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter, so he made the 12 to give up any plastic surgery (外科手術).
We all have “scars” that 13 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 14 standards(標準). Put your imperfections out of your 15 and concentrate (集中) on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
