Depressed and   , the seeker returned to the well to demand an    , but he was told only: “You will discover in the future.” With years     by, the memory of his experience at the well gradually   until one night.

Eventually he understood the  of the well: we have already been given everything we need; our   is to gather and use them in the proper way. Nothing is  so long as we recognize only fragments (碎片).

试题分析:文章讲述了一个真理的寻求者找了多年之后,被告诉山洞里的一口井可以告诉他真理,他就找到了那口井,从井里发出了声音告诉他到十字路口的村庄去,在那儿他能找到真理。他去了之后才发现那里只有三家商店,一家在买一些金属,一家在买木头,还有一家在买细线,其余的什么也没有了。他并未找到真理。多年之后,他在散步的时候被美妙的琴声所吸引,顺着琴声找过去发现了一架琴,他突然领悟到什么才是真谛。零碎的东西没有多大意义,但是要组合在一起,就有了它难以估量的价值了。
小题1:C考查名词的含义。句意为:在寻求了多年之后,一位真理的寻求者被告诉,到山洞里去,在那儿有一口井,问那口井真理是什么,它就会向你揭露真理是什么。life n生活; dream n 梦,梦想;truth n 真理,真相;success n 成功。由上文可知,是真理的寻求者,故这里应为真理。答案为C。
小题2:D 考查名词词义。 句意为:在找到了那口井之后,那位寻求者问了一个最基本也是最重要的
问题。从井的深传来了答案,到十字路口的村庄去,在那里你会找到正在寻求的东西。cause n原因,事
业; reason n 原因;problem n难题,引起麻烦的人或事。 question n问题,疑问。这里应该是他最大的
疑问,什么是真理,故答案应为D。
小题3:B 考查名词的词义。句意为:井里传出声音让他到十字路口的村庄去,那里会告诉他答案,所以此处应该为他满怀希望地跑到那个地方,与下文的失望形成对比,故答案应为B。energy n 精力;hope n希望; happiness n高兴,幸福;strength n 力气,力量。故答案应为B。
小题4:A 考查动词的意思。句意为:他满怀希望的跑到了十字路口去吃惊的发现只有三个很无趣的商店。only to do 表示另人吃惊的结果。所以应是吃惊的发现---。故答案应为A。find vt v 发现;observe vt观察; understand vt理解; feel vt感觉,感受。故答案应为A。
小题5:D 考查名词词义。句意为:第一家商店里是在买一些金属,第三家商店在买一些细绳,从后面的15,16两个小题可知第二家商店是在买一些木头,故答案应为D。instrument n 仪器,工具;clothing n 服装;furniture n家具;wood n木头。故答案为D。
小题6:A考查动词的词义。句意为:似乎没有人和东西与真相的揭露有很大的关系。have much to do with固定短语的意思是与---有很大关系。link vt 连接,结合;connect vt 连结,联合;relate vt与---相关,都不和后面的to do with相连用。故答案为A。
小题7:C 考查形容词的词义。句意为:因为他只发现了三个与真相毫无相关的商店,所以此处应为沮丧失望地回到了---。故答案应为C。surprised adj令人吃惊的; shocked adj震惊的; disappointed adj令人失望的;excited adj令人激动的。故答案为C。

小题9:D 考查动词的词义。句意为:随着几年的时间过去了,with +n/pron+非谓语动词,with复合结
构的考查。year与后面的动词过去之间是主动的关系,故应为现在分词形式。A,B为动词的过去分词形
式表被动不符合。C为动词原形形式不符合with复合结构的要求。故答案应为D。
小题10:C 考查动词的词义。句意为:随着几年时间的过去,他在井边的经历的记忆慢慢的消失了,记忆不是被忘记了,而是记忆消失,所以答案为C。doubled vt 两倍,加倍;forgot vt忘记; disappeared vt消失; recovered vt恢复。故答案应为C。

案应为C。
小题19:D考查形容词的含义。句意为:只要我们把这些东西看着碎片的话,没有任何东西是有意义的。
意思是说零碎的东西没有太大意义,但组合在一起就不一样了。available adj 有效的,可利用的(碎片
有用只是不大,所以这个不合适)successful adj成功的; accessible adj 可接近的;meaningful adj有意义
单个的东西难以发挥大的作用,没有意义,故答案为D。
小题20:A 考查动词的词义。句意为:组合起来的这些东西,他们的属性我们是不能通过单独的碎片去预见的。意思是说,我们预见不到他们的意义,如果仅靠单独的碎片。故答案应为A。foreseen vt 预见,预知;witnessed vt目睹;judged vt判断;formed vt组成。

Charles Plumb, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, was a jet fighter pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was     by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb was     and spent six years in prison in Vietnam. He survived and now      about lessons learned from that experience.
  One day, Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant when a man at another table came up and said, "You're Plumb! You    jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier (航空母舰) Kitty Hawk . You were      !"
"How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb.
  "I      your parachute," the man replied. Plumb gasped(倒吸一口气) in surprise and     .The man pumped his hand and said, "I guess it worked!"
Plumb assured him, "It     did—if your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today."
Plumb couldn't sleep that night,thinking about that man. He says, "I wondered how many times I might have passed him      the Kitty Hawk. I wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you', or anything     , you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a      ."
Plumb thought of the many days the sailor had spent on a long wooden table in the bowels(深处)of the ship      working on each chute, holding in his hands each time the      of someone he didn't know.
  Plumb asks his      , "Who's packing your     ? Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it      the day." Plumb also says that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down—he needed his      parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these      before reaching safety. His experience reminds us all to     and be kind to people who pack our daily parachutes, and strengthen us to go through      times.

Theodor Seuss Geisel was born in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1904. He was famous because of the books he wrote for children. They combine funny words, pictures, and social opinions.
Dr Seuss wrote his first book for children in 1937. It is called And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. A number of publishers refused to publish it. They said it was too different. A friend finally published it. Soon other successful books followed. Over the years, he wrote more than forty children’s books. They were fun to read. Yet his books sometimes dealt with serious subjects.
By the middle 1940s, Dr Seuss had become one of the best-loved and most successful writers of children’s books. He liked helping children.
