After years of searching, a truth seeker was told to go to a cave, in which he would find a well. “Ask the well what is 36 , ” he was advised, “and the well reveal (告诉,揭露) it to you.” Having found the well, the seeker asked that most basic and important 37 . And from the depths came the answer: “Go to the village crossroad, and there you shall find what you are seeking.”
Full of 38 the man ran to the crossroad to 39 only three rather uninteresting shops. One shop was selling pieces of metal, another sold 40 , and thin wires were for sale in the third. Nothing and no one there seemed to 41 much to do with the revelation of truth.
Disappointed, the seeker returned to the well to demand an 42 , but he was told only: “You will 43 in the future.”
As years went by, the 44 of his experience at the well gradually 45 until one night, while he was walking, the sound of sitar (西塔琴) music 46 his attention. It was wonderful and it was 47 with great skill and inspiration.
Deeply 48 , the truth seeker felt drawn towards the 49 . He looked at the fingers dancing over the strings. And then suddenly he let out a cry of joyful 50 : the sitar was made out of wires and pieces of metal and wood just like 51 he had once seen in the three stores.
At last he understood the 52 of the well: we have already been given everything we need; our 53 is to assemble (聚集) and use them in the proper way. Nothing is 54 so long as we recognize only fragments (碎片). But as soon as the pieces are put together, something new appears, whose nature we could not have 55 by considering the fragments alone.

解析试题分析:本文通过真理追寻者在“井”的指引下去追寻真理,但是还是没有弄得“真理是什么”。然而真理是朴素的,不深奥也不华丽;真理是离你最近的,需要你在“蓦然回首”处领悟。最后真理追寻者通过自己的领悟明白了那口井的意思:世界早已给予了我们需要的一切东西,我们只需要将它们组合起来,并以适当的方式去使用它们。如果我们只看到零星的碎片,那一切就都不会有意义。可只要我们将这些碎片组合起来形成一个整体,新的事物便会产生,并且新事物的性质是我们仅从碎片上无法预见的。
【小题1】A由上文的a truth seeker 可知,选A 项(原词复现)。hope希望;future未来;music音乐。句意:寻寻觅觅多年,真理追寻者被告知去往一个洞穴中,在那里,他将会找到一口井。“去问那口井什么是真理,”他得到这样的建议,“那口井就会告诉你什么是真理。”
【小题2】C由下文的answer 可知,此处选C 项(question问题)。fact事实;reason理由;well井。句意:他得到这样的建议,“那口井就会告诉你什么是真理。”追寻者在找到那口井后,问了那个最重要的问题。从井底深处传来一个声音:“去村里的十字路口,在那儿可以找到你想寻觅的答案。”
【小题3】B听说能找到问题的答案,那个人自然是怀着“希望(hope)”跑向十字路口。energy 能量;mystery秘密,谜,神秘,神秘的事物。surprise惊讶。
【小题4】C结果在十字路口,那个人只是“发现(find)”了三个毫不起眼的商店。get得到,获得;count计数,数数;open开张,开着。句意:追寻者满怀希望和憧憬奔到十字路口,却只看到三家毫不起眼的店铺。
【小题5】D由后文的“the sitar was made out of wires and pieces of metal and wood just like 51 he had once seen in the three stores.”可知, 此空选wood(原词复现)。句意:一家在卖金属片,另一家在卖木材,第三家则在卖细金属丝。
【小题6】B三家店铺里的物品和人似乎都与真理无啥联系。have sth. to do with是固定短语,意为“与……有关系”。connect连接,联结;使……有联系;prepare准备;offer主动提供。
【小题7】A探索者很失望地回到水井那儿要求水井一个“解释”。(他按照水井指点的去做却没有找到真理,他希望水井能“解释explanation”一下)。advice建议;excuse原谅,借口;opportunity机会,机遇。
【小题8】D根据最后一段的“At last he understood the 52 of the well”可知, 此处填understand(原词复现)。句意:追寻者感到很失望,回到井边想讨个说法,但井只告诉他:“你将来会明白的。”succeed 成功
discover 发现;pay付出。
【小题9】C与下面的一小题一并考虑。根据上文的叙述我们知道真理追寻者在“井边的那段经历”谈不上什么“bitterness痛苦”或“failure失败”(如果是痛苦的话,那就必定是失败的,反过来亦然),更没有什么“secret秘密”可言。所以答案只能是“记忆memory”了。句意:他渐渐淡忘了井边的那段经历,直到有一天晚上,他沐浴着月光漫步在路上,被耳畔传来的一阵西塔琴的演奏声吸引住了。
【小题10】C 根据常识“随着时间的推移”,人们的记忆不可能成倍(doubled)增加。根据下文,这儿不是说
“他的记忆恢复了(recovered)”,故排除A、D 选项。那么剩下来的要么是“记忆的遗忘(forgot)或是消失
(disappeared)”。但是若要选B项,则应用被动语态,故答案只能是C项。
【小题11】D catch one’s attention 吸引某人的注意力(西塔琴的演奏声吸引了他的注意力);pay one's attention to把注意力集中在某一件事上。其余两个词(lose, split)不跟“attention”搭配构成动词短语。句意:他渐渐淡忘了井边的那段经历,直到有一天晚上,他沐浴着月光漫步在路上,被耳畔传来的一阵西塔琴的演奏声吸引住了。
【小题12】A it指代music,与play搭配意为“演奏音乐”。句意:那音乐相当美妙,弹奏的人琴艺高超,令听者深受鼓舞。broadcast 广播;enjoy 欣赏;conduct 指挥。
【小题13】B上文的“inspiration(鼓舞)”已经暗示了答案。如此美妙、令人鼓舞的音乐自然会让人“感动(moved)”。annoyed 生气的;confused困惑的;frightened害怕的, 均不符合上下文的语境。
【小题14】D player 指演奏音乐的人,与【小题12】呼应。adviser提建议者;director导演;composer 作曲者。句意:真理追寻者被深深地打动了,他不由自主地被弹琴的人吸引了过去。
【小题15】C他因为“认出了”制作西塔琴的线、金属和木头就是他曾经在商店里见过的那些东西,而发出欣喜的叫声。admiration 羡慕,钦佩;distinction 区别,差别;recognition 认出,识别;imagination 想像力。recognition符合语境。
【小题16】A those 在本句中代替上文提到的wires,metal and wood 作后面定语从句的先行词。that 与it 代
替单数名词;them不能用作先行词。本段的文意:真理追寻者被深深地打动了,他不由自主地被弹琴的人吸引了过去。看着弹琴人的手指在琴弦上拨动飞舞,他突然注意到了锡塔琴本身。随即,他喜不自禁地叫了出来,因为他发现锡塔琴正是由细金属丝、金属片和木头组成的——这些正和他之前在那三个店铺里看到过的物品一样。
【小题17】B最后他终于明白了水井传达的寓意。secret 秘密;message 消息, 信息, 要点, 寓意;theory 理论;benefit 利益,好处。B项符合句意。
【小题18】C下文“to assemble (聚集) and use them in the proper way(用恰当的方式把它们聚集起来并使用)”指的应该是“任务(task)”。target目标;difficulty困难;shortcoming缺点。
句意:我们需要的东西都已经有了,我们的“任务”是用恰当的方式把它们聚集起来并使用。(就像把线、金属和木头用恰当的方式聚集到一起就能做出西塔琴一样。).
【小题19】B根据倒数第二段的阐述,我们不难推出“如果我们看到的只是碎片,那就没什么意义的”也就是我们常常所说的“不要孤立地看问题”。meaningful 有意义的;interesting 有趣的;accessible 可接近的;successful 成功的。
【小题20】A它的本质即新生事物的本质不可能是靠我们去“决定的(decided)”、“形成的(formed)”或是去“判定的(judged)”,而只能靠我们去“预见的” (比如,我们只是孤立地去看线、金属和木头,也就无法预见它们能做成西塔琴后的本质)。最后一段的文意:他终于明白了那口井的意思:我们需要的东西都已经有了,我们的“任务”是用恰当的方式把它们聚集起来并使用。世界早已给予了我们需要的一切东西,我们只需要将它们组合起来,并以适当的方式去使用它们。如果我们只看到零星的碎片,那一切就都不会有意义。可是一旦我们将这些碎片组合起来形成一个整体,新的事物便会产生,并且新事物的性质是我们仅从碎片上无法预见的。

What is it that you love to do but never feel that you get it quite right? Perhaps you don't even try any more because you think what you do is not 36 enough.
