【解析】

试题分析：本文通过将一个年轻人的完美的心和老人满是伤痕的心进行比较，让我们看到满是伤痕的心代表曾经分享过的爱，同时也让我们明白什么才是真正的美丽。

1.考查形容词辨析。本题为原词重现，根据第三段的anyone with his eyes can see mine is perfect可知，年轻人认为自己的心脏是完美的。选项A意为丑陋的；选项B意为完美的；选项C意为好的；选项D意为受伤的。选择B。

2.考查代词辨析。通过下文可知下文主要描述了老人心脏的模样，所以这里是指老人认为年轻人的心脏不如他的好。句意为：为什么，你的心脏没有我的完美。选项A意为我的；选项B意为他的；选项C意为他们的；选项D意为我们的。此句为直接引语，故用第一人称，选择A。

3.考查名词辨析。既然老人这样说，其他人肯定会看老人的心脏。选项A意为外套；选项B意为外表；选项C意为脸；选项D意为心脏。故选择D。

4.考查动词辨析。既然提到心脏，那么肯定是指心脏在跳动。选项A意为敲门、敲；选项B意为罢工、袭击；选项C意为心脏跳动、击鼓、雨打窗等意思；选项D意为击打、碰撞。根据分析，选择C。

5.考查定语从句关系词。本句为定语从句，考查它的关系词的选择。首先判断先行词为places，代入从句中作地点状语，指在这些地方，故选择C。句意为：在心脏上，有些地方被去除了，有些地方被加入了，但是不是很吻合。

6.考查形容词辨析。本空为原词重现。根据上文有些地方被放入，但不是很吻合以及下文But because the pieces aren’t exact, I have some rough edges,可知，心脏上有粗糙的边缘。选项A意为平坦的；选项B意为粗糙的；选项C意为破损的；选项D意为漂亮的。选择B。

7.考查非谓语动词。本句考查非谓语动词担当状语，首先看主句主语和compare之间的关系。主句主语为anyone，主动发出compare这一动作，故用ving形式。选择A。句意为：任何长眼睛的人，只要把你的心脏和我的心脏进行比较，就可以看出我的心脏很完美而你的心脏满是疤痕。

8.考查情态动词。通过下文But because the pieces aren’t exact, I have some rough edges,的描述可知，老人认为心脏的每一个疤痕都提醒着他和别人分享的爱，他认为自己的心脏才是最美的。因此他不愿意和别人交换。选项A意为可能；选项B意为乐意、过去常常；选项C意为能够；选项D意为应该。选择B。

9.考查名词辨析。通过下文I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they ___ me a piece of their heart可知，老人把自己的心脏上取下一块送给所爱的人，而所爱之人再回赠一块，就这么形成了很多疤痕，所以这些疤痕都代表了爱。选择D。

10.考查定语从句。本句为定语从句。先行词为a person，代入从句中构成短语，give my love to a person，缺少介词to，故空格处填to whom。选择D。

11.考查动词辨析。本空为原词重现。根据上文的I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them,可知我把我一部分心给一个人，那么这个人也会给我一块他的心脏。故本空选择B。

12.考查形容词辨析。根据上文可知，我把我的心的一部分给我爱的人，那么这部分就会空着。选项A意为空的；选项B意为满的；选项C意为红色的；选项D意为第一的。故选择A。

13.考查动词辨析。两个人的心互相交换，这象征着彼此分享着的爱。故选择C，意为：因为这些疤痕提醒着我我们共享的爱。

14.考查介词短语。通过上文可知，老人把自己的心给别人，所以这里需要填一个副词，和give构成短语，表示赠送。选项A give in意为屈服；选项B give away意为赠送、泄露；选项C give off意为散发；选项D give up意为放弃。根据分析，选择B。

15.考查名词辨析。本空为原词重现，上文反复出现 a piece of heart，故选择C。句意为：另一个人并没有回赠他的一部分心。

16.考查动词。通过分析可知，有时候你把心给了别人，别人未必会回赠给你，故会形成空隙。这意味着付出爱也是一种冒险。故选择A，构成短语：take a chance，意为冒险、碰运气。

17.考查动词辨析。上文句意为：虽然这些豁口很疼。下文意为我还是让它们敞开着，因为它们会提醒我我曾经对那些人的爱。选项A意为持续；选项B意为砍、切；选项C意为来到；选项D意为保持。根据句意，选择D最为恰当。

18.考查动词短语。根据下文的tore out a piece可知，年轻人把手伸进自己的心中。选项A意为带走；选项B意为伸进；选项C意为拿出；选项D意为抚养长大、呕吐。根据分析，选择B。句意为：年轻人默默走进老人，把手伸进自己完美的心中，撕下一块，把它送给老人。

19.考查动词辨析。上文一直使用give…to…，表示把…送给…。此处选用相似意义的词即可。选项A意为返回；选项B意为拿走；选项C意为提供，给予；选项D意为为…服务。故选择C，构成短语 offer…to…，把…送给…。

20.考查动词辨析。通过上文的But because the pieces aren’t exact, I have some rough edges,可知，当在彼此交换的心不完全合适时，会有粗糙的边缘。选项A意为适合；选项B意为击打、袭击；选项C意为心脏跳动等等；选项D意为安置、摆放。故选择A。
