题目内容
I used to find notes left in The collection basket of the church, beautiful notes about my homilies(讲道)and about the writer's thoughts on the daily readings. The __(1)__ fascinated(吸引)me. But it was a long time __(2)__ I met the author of the notes.
One Sunday morning, I was __(3)__ that someone was waiting for me in the office, a young woman who said she __(4)__ all the notes. When I saw her I was __(5)__, since I had no idea that it was she who wrote the notes. She was sitting in a chair in the office. Her __(6)__ was bowed and when she raised it to look at me, she could barely __(7)__ without pain. Her face was disfigured(畸形的), so smiling was very __(8)__ for her.
We __(9)__ for a while that Sunday morning and agreed to meet for lunch later that week.
As it __(10)__, we went to lunch several times, and we shared things about our __(11)__. We spoke of authors we both had __(12)__,and it was easy to tell that __(13)__ are a great love of hers.
She suffered from a disfigurement that cannot be made to look __(14)__. I know that her condition __(15)__ her deeply. Yet there was a beauty to her that had nothing to do with __(16)__. She was one to be listened to, whose words came from a wounded but __(17)__ heart. She possessed a fine tuned sense of beauty. Her only __(18)__ in life was the loss of a friend.
The truth of her life was a desire to see beyond the __(19)__ for a glimpse(瞥)of what it is that matters. She found beauty and __(20)__ and they are friend of her, and showed her what is real.
解析:
|
(1) .前文已经提到了这些小“便笺”。(2) .从前面的转折词But判断,作者很久以后才遇见了“便笺”的作者。It was a long time before... 意为“很久以后才……”。(3) .tell“告知”,符合语境,inform“通知”,用在此处过于正式。(4) .从上文知,这位妇女在听作者讲道时随手写了一些感想,写完后就把它们“放”在了教堂的心意篮里面。drop的意思是“失手丢掉”,用在此处不合语境。(5) .作者没有预料到这些“便笺”是这样一位妇女写的,因此感到“震惊”。(6) .从下文她抬起头来向我微笑可推知,此处指她垂着“头”。(7) .后文有提示,她微笑起来非常困难。(8) .由前面她脸部畸形可以推断出答案。(9) .作者和这位妇女见面时“聊天”,符合常理。(10) .此处表示后来情况怎样,因此用turned out“后来证明……”。(11) .两个人互相探讨“人生”,其他选项表达的意思都过于片面。(12) .此处表示两个人谈起“读”过的书的作者。(13) .文章第一段提到这位妇女写“读书”感想,前面提到两个人谈论彼此熟悉的“作者”,我们可以断定,“读书”是这位妇女的乐趣。(14) .脸部畸形使她不可能相貌“动人”。(15) .因为这位妇女相貌不好,因此内心的痛苦可想而知。(16) .作者强调她所表现出来的不是外表的美,而是内心的美。(17) .通过后面她珍视友谊可以看出她的内心充满了“爱”。(18) .因为她珍视友谊,因此她害怕失去友谊。文章并没有介绍她已经失去了友谊,因此不选regret“后悔”。(19) .作者强调这位妇女的美不是“表面”的。(20) .“优雅”和前面的“美”构成并列关系。 |
