Question

Long long ago, a circle missed one piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its 5 piece. But because it was 6 and therefore could roll only very slowly, it 7 the flow?ers along the way. It 8 with the worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but 9 of them fitted. So it left them all by the side of the road and 10 searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fitted 11 .It incorporated (合并)the missing piece into itself and began to roll.      12     it was a per?feet circle, it could roll very fast,     13     fast to notice the flowers or talk to the worms. After it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it 14    ， left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.

The 15 of the story, I suggest, is that in some strange 16 we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has 17 is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it 18 like to nourish his soul with the dream of something 19 . When we accept that 20 is part of being human and when we can continue rolling 21 life and appreciate it, we will have 22 a wholeness that others can only-desire, which, I believe, is 23 God asks of us―not "Be perfect", not "Don't even make a mistake", 24 "Be whole".

Answer 1

【文章大意】本文是一篇夾敘夾議的文章，通過(guò)一個(gè)缺失了部分的圓圈在找到缺失部分后前后不同的生活方式對(duì)比告訴我們：缺憾也是一種美，正因?yàn)槿笔�我們才更完整�?/p>

B other其他的；missing丟失的；rest剩余的；remaining剩下的。根據(jù)上句"Long long ago, a circle missed one piece of its own."可知，此處表示尋找丟失的那部分，故選B項(xiàng)。

A incomplete不完整的，不完全的；ugly丑陋的；ordinary普通的；unusual不同尋常的。根據(jù)下文"...and therefore could roll only very slowly…"的提示可知，圓圈由于缺失而變得不是很圓了，故不得不慢慢滾，故選A項(xiàng)。

C pick撿；water澆水；admire贊賞iplant種植。根據(jù)下文"It enjoyed the sunshine."可知，這個(gè)圈邊滾邊欣賞路邊的花兒， 故選C項(xiàng)。

B play玩；chat聊天；sing唱歌；dance跳舞。結(jié)合后文"… fast to notice the flowers or talk to the worms.，，的提示可知， 此處應(yīng)為talk的同義詞，故選B項(xiàng)。

D neither兩個(gè)都不；each每一個(gè)；all所有；none沒(méi)一個(gè)人或物。根據(jù)下句"So it left them all by the side of the road…"可推知沒(méi)有一個(gè)是適合的，故選D項(xiàng)。

D carry out執(zhí)行；put on穿上；work out解決，進(jìn)展，鍛煉身體；keep on繼續(xù)。因?yàn)闆](méi)有發(fā)現(xiàn)合適的，圓圈繼續(xù)搜尋，故選D項(xiàng)。

C especially尤其；permanently永久；perfectly完美地；con?stantly 經(jīng)常。 根據(jù)下一句"It incorporated(合并）the missing piece into itself and began to roll.，，的提示可知，它找到了完全與自己契合的碎片，且與下文"it was a perfect circle—" 呼應(yīng)，故選C項(xiàng)。

B although盡管；now that既然；unless除非；as long as只要。根據(jù)句意可知，上下文之間是邏輯上的因果關(guān)系，故選B項(xiàng)。

B very非常；too太，也；so如此，因此；how如何。很明顯， 滾得太快自然就沒(méi)有機(jī)

會(huì)慢慢欣賞路邊的花朵或不能和蟲(chóng)子說(shuō)話了，且與固定搭配too... to相呼應(yīng)，故選B項(xiàng)。

A stop停止；continue繼續(xù)；hesitate猶豫；cry哭，喊。根據(jù)下文"...left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away."的提示可知，正在滾動(dòng)中的圈只有停下來(lái)才能夠做這些事情，故選A項(xiàng)。

A lesson教訓(xùn)，課程；root根；reason理由；cause原因。結(jié)合本文可知，此處表示從故事中得到的教訓(xùn)，故選A項(xiàng)。

C degree程度，學(xué)位,度；level水平；sense感覺(jué)；manner舉止。in some sense意為"在某種意義上"，與下句中的in some ways相呼應(yīng)，故選C項(xiàng)。

D nothing什么也沒(méi)有；something某事；little少許；everything 切。由上句中的"…we are more whole when we are missing something."可知，完美本來(lái)就是一種缺失，故選D項(xiàng)。

B   smell聞起來(lái)；feel摸起來(lái)，感覺(jué)；look看起來(lái)；sound聽(tīng)起來(lái)。由本句中的know可知，此處表示"感覺(jué)，體驗(yàn)"，故選B項(xiàng)。

A better更好的；common普通的；impractical不實(shí)用的； worse更糟糕的。根據(jù)上句可知，他已經(jīng)什么都'不缺了 ，自然就沒(méi)有什么是值得追求的了 ，那么追求完美或者說(shuō)是更好， 他自然是體會(huì)不到的，故選A項(xiàng)。

C   strength力量；kindness善良；imperfection不完美；benefit益處。當(dāng)我們接受了不完美是人的一部分，我們才能繼續(xù)前行，并感激這種前行，故選c項(xiàng)。

D此處表示前行貫穿一生，生命不止，前進(jìn)不停歇，故選D項(xiàng)。

C recognize認(rèn)出；search搜索；achieve獲��；found建立。通過(guò)不完美的人生，我們得到了完整，故選C項(xiàng)。

D what引導(dǎo)表語(yǔ)從句，在從句中作ask的賓語(yǔ)，故選D項(xiàng)。A but"但是，而是，除了"，表示轉(zhuǎn)折性的

對(duì)比關(guān)系；while "然而"，表并列性的對(duì)比關(guān)系；and而且；otherwise"否則"，為副詞。根據(jù)固定搭配not ...but..."不是……而是"可知A項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。
