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) 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.

女兒的鞋子被刀劃破了，技術(shù)高超的鞋匠將其修補得無比可愛；妹妹的襯衫被撕破了 ，卻在妻子的匠心獨運中成為了藝術(shù)品.，對待生活中的"傷口"又該如何？用"補丁"將其縫合并點綴上美麗的鮮花，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，由此可知學徒應是看了看鞋的"開口處"，下文中也多次出現(xiàn)了opening這個詞。

2. A學徒對被刀子劃破的鞋無計可施，只能"更換" 上面的部分。后三項都不符合語境。

3. D上文提到學徒只能更換被劃破的部分。再根據(jù)師傅所說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，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"，并詢問其中的原因。

5. A修鞋師傅解釋說這樣看起來這些劃痕似乎是為了某種特殊的風格而"故意"制作的„后三項分別表示"偶然""特別，尤其""依次，反過來"，都不符合語境。

6. D雖然作者不能充分理解對方的話，但是還是決定把鞋留給對方修理，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的地方看起來更加"可愛"。

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，留下一個大口子，作者的妻子應該是"仔細地"看過之后再做出決定。

11. D上文提到襯衫被撕破，自然是得帶回家"修補"。

12. C雖然襯衫被撕破了一個大口子，但是經(jīng)過作者妻子的修補，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，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修鞋師傅的啟發(fā)，才對那件被槲破的襯衫進行了巧妙的修補。下一 段開頭處的inspired也是提示。

15. C根據(jù)常識和上下文可知補丁本來是非常"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"，都不符合語境。

19. D既然你無法改變傷口的存在，你就不應該揭開傷口來"期待"人們的同情，這么做毫無意義。

20. A由上一句可知此處應選wound.—.用補丁將"傷口"縫合并點綴上美麗的鮮花，這就是人生的意義。

科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：


  After the war,the Japanese chief of intelligence, Lt. General Seizo Arisue, admitted that his forces were never able to break the code used by the US Marine Corps(海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊) .Be?cause the Navajo code talkers were the secret code of the Marines, they were often heavily guarded.

  The use of the Navajo Code was so successful that some code talkers were guarded by fel?low Marines, whose role was to kill them in case of possible capture by the enemy.

  In 1942 ，when the original 29 code talkers developed their "secret weapon" ，there were a-bout 50,000 members of the Navajo nation. By the end of the war, 540 men had served as Ma?rines. At least 400 of those were trained as code talkers.

  For decades following the war,the Navajos' contribution went unrecognized due to national security issues. It wasn't until 1968 that anyone outside the military knew about the code. The code talkers were even forbidden to tell their families about it. But in July of 2001 ，the President and Congress of the United States honored the 29 code creators. Only five were still alive. The remarks of President Bush expressed the late thankfulness of a nation whose victory in the Pacific may not have been possible without the Navajos. When the President spoke, he addressed the men whose grandfathers had made the "Long Walk" to their new home 78 years before the code talkers became Marines.

In 2002 the code talkers were honored with a movie that pictured their brave behavior：Windtalkers. For the first time,people everywhere learned their story. 

(   ) 5. The purpose of the text is to        .

   A.introduce America's Navajo nation

   B.recommend the movie Windtalkers

   C.tell readers about the Navajo Code

   D.recall America's victory in the Pacific

(   ) 6. To a guard of a code talker, the most important is        .

   A.keeping the code talker alive

   B.ensuring the safety of the code

   C.preventing the code talker escaping

   D.staying with the code talker all the time

(   ) 7. We can learn from the passage that during the war        .

   A.most of the Navajos were killed

   B.many code talkers were captured by Japanese soldiers

   C.about one percent of the Navajos served as Marines

   D.the Navajos made the " Long Walk" to fight against the Japanese

(   ) 8. How long was the story of the code talkers known by people everywhere since it was created?

    A. After 26 years.   B. After 29 years.

   C. After 49 years.   D. After 60 years.
