Question

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.

Answer 1

女儿的鞋子被刀划破了，技术高超的鞋匠将其修补得无比可爱；妹妹的衬衫被撕破了 ，却在妻子的匠心独运中成为了艺术品.，对待生活中的"伤口"又该如何？用"补丁"将其缝合并点缀上美丽的鲜花，这就是人生的意义。

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。
