Question

【題目】Once a circle missed a wedge（楔子）. The circle wanted to be 【1】 , so it went around looking for its missing piece. It was uncompleted and therefore could roll only very slowly. While rolling, it admired the flowers along the way, 【2】 (chat) with worms and enjoyed the sunshine.

One day the circle found a piece that 【3】 perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole with nothing missing. It fixed the missing piece in itself and began to 【4】 . Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice the flowers or talk to 【5】 . When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it 【6】 and left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.

The lesson of the story, I suggested, was that in some strange 【7】 we are whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is in some way a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to desire, to hope, to nourish his soul 【8】 the dream of something better.

When we accept that imperfection is part of human being, and when we can continue rolling through life and appreciate it, we will have achieved a wholeness that others can 【9】 wish to.

If we are brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, generous enough to share in another’s happiness, and wise enough to know there is enough love to go around for us all, then we can achieve a fullness that 【10】 other living creature will ever know.

【解析】

試題分析：通過一個圓丟了一個楔子的故事，說明了一個人失去了某樣東西并不一定是壞事，如果他有足夠的勇氣去愛，足夠堅強去原諒，足夠慷慨地分享他人的快樂，足夠明智地知道有足夠的愛圍繞著，則他還是一樣完美。

【1】whole/complete/perfect 句意：從前，一個圓盤缺少了一塊兒。它希望變得完整起來。根據(jù)句意可知，填whole/complete/perfect。

【2】chatted 句意：一路上，它欣賞著鮮花，享受著陽光，與昆蟲交談。此處與前面的admired和后面的enjoyed是并列的謂語動詞，故填chatted。

【3】fitted/fit 句意：一天它終于找到了完全適合的那一塊，因此變得非常高興。故填fitted/fit。

【4】roll 句意：于是它又開始滾動。故填roll。

【5】worms 句意：它已經(jīng)是一個完整的圓盤,它能滾得很快，快得無法注意鮮花，也不能和昆蟲交談了。故填worms。

【6】stopped 句意：它感到是那樣的沮喪，因此停了下來。它又把找到的那一塊扔到路旁慢慢地滾。故填stopped。

【7】sense/way 句意：從某種奇怪的意義上說，在失去某些東西的時候，我們有時候是完美的。故填sense/way。

【8】with 句意：他從不會希望或夢想得到某些更好的東西。故填with。

【9】only/merely 句意：我們將實現(xiàn)一個別人只能希望成為的完整。故填only/merely。

【10】no 句意：我們可以達到其他生物不知道的完整。故填no。
