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

The young apprentice(学徒) 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(缝补) by soft red leather;the stitches(针脚) 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.

1. B上文提到作者女儿的鞋子被刀划破了,由此可知学徒应是看了看鞋的"开口处",下文中也多次出现了opening这个词。

2. A学徒对被刀子划破的鞋无计可施,只能"更换" 上面的部分。后三项都不符合语境。

3. D上文提到学徒只能更换被划破的部分。再根据师傅所说的话可知他另有妙招,但是需要首先取得作者的信任才行。假如选择C项,需要在后面加上with 

4. B作者的目的是修理鞋子的破口,而修鞋师傅竟然打算在两只鞋上划出更多的伤痕,作者自然感到"迷惑不解",并询问其中的原因。

5. A修鞋师傅解释说这样看起来这些划痕似乎是为了某种特殊的风格而"故意"制作的„后三项分别表示"偶然""特别,尤其""依次,反过来",都不符合语境。

6. D虽然作者不能充分理解对方的话,但是还是决定把鞋留给对方修理,此处表示的是转折含义。

7. B上文提到作者把鞋交给了修鞋师傅,所以来这里是把鞋"取走"。

8. C 4艮据后面的interesting和praise可知弯弯曲曲的针脚缝补的地方看起来更加"可爱"。

9. A作者情不自禁地赞美修鞋师傅的高超"技术" 倒数第二段中的skillful也是提示。

10. C既然村衫被撕破,留下一个大口子,作者的妻子应该是"仔细地"看过之后再做出决定。

11. D上文提到衬衫被撕破,自然是得带回家"修补"。

12. C虽然衬衫被撕破了一个大口子,但是经过作者妻子的修补,所有被撕破的部分都呈现出水晶的外形并且被精心设计,由此可知作者感到非常"惊奇"。

13. C由"It's amazing!"可知作者想不到破衬衫在妻子的巧妙设计下竟然变成了工艺品,自然由衷"赞叹"。

14. B作者妻子是受到那个修鞋师傅的启发,才对那件被槲破的衬衫进行了巧妙的修补。下一 段开头处的inspired也是提示。

15. C根据常识和上下文可知补丁本来是非常"难看的"。

16. B但是能工巧匠却可以让它变得十分"完美".,下一段首句中的perfection也是提示。

17. C作者根据上文的叙述而引发感.慨:"人生" 不可以达到完美。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.. 名义";in the shape of表示''以形状",都不符合语境。

19. D既然你无法改变伤口的存在,你就不应该揭开伤口来"期待"人们的同情,这么做毫无意义。

20. A由上一句可知此处应选wound.—.用补丁将"伤口"缝合并点缀上美丽的鲜花,这就是人生的意义。

  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(海军陆战队) .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.
