Although these gaps are painful, they open, reminding me of the love I have for those people too, and I hope someday they may return where I have been waiting and fill the space.

Tears running his cheeks, the young man walked up to the old man, his own perfect heart, and tore out a piece. He it to the old man with trembling hands.

The old man placed it in his heart, then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man’s heart. It , but not perfectly, as there were some rough edges.

試題分析：本文通過將一個(gè)年輕人的完美的心和老人滿是傷痕的心進(jìn)行比較，讓我們看到滿是傷痕的心代表曾經(jīng)分享過的愛，同時(shí)也讓我們明白什么才是真正的美麗。

1.考查形容詞辨析。本題為原詞重現(xiàn)，根據(jù)第三段的anyone with his eyes can see mine is perfect可知，年輕人認(rèn)為自己的心臟是完美的。選項(xiàng)A意為丑陋的；選項(xiàng)B意為完美的；選項(xiàng)C意為好的；選項(xiàng)D意為受傷的。選擇B。

2.考查代詞辨析。通過下文可知下文主要描述了老人心臟的模樣，所以這里是指老人認(rèn)為年輕人的心臟不如他的好。句意為：為什么，你的心臟沒有我的完美。選項(xiàng)A意為我的；選項(xiàng)B意為他的；選項(xiàng)C意為他們的；選項(xiàng)D意為我們的。此句為直接引語，故用第一人稱，選擇A。

3.考查名詞辨析。既然老人這樣說，其他人肯定會(huì)看老人的心臟。選項(xiàng)A意為外套；選項(xiàng)B意為外表；選項(xiàng)C意為臉；選項(xiàng)D意為心臟。故選擇D。

4.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。既然提到心臟，那么肯定是指心臟在跳動(dòng)。選項(xiàng)A意為敲門、敲；選項(xiàng)B意為罷工、襲擊；選項(xiàng)C意為心臟跳動(dòng)、擊鼓、雨打窗等意思；選項(xiàng)D意為擊打、碰撞。根據(jù)分析，選擇C。

5.考查定語從句關(guān)系詞。本句為定語從句，考查它的關(guān)系詞的選擇。首先判斷先行詞為places，代入從句中作地點(diǎn)狀語，指在這些地方，故選擇C。句意為：在心臟上，有些地方被去除了，有些地方被加入了，但是不是很吻合。

6.考查形容詞辨析。本空為原詞重現(xiàn)。根據(jù)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，心臟上有粗糙的邊緣。選項(xiàng)A意為平坦的；選項(xiàng)B意為粗糙的；選項(xiàng)C意為破損的；選項(xiàng)D意為漂亮的。選擇B。

7.考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。本句考查非謂語動(dòng)詞擔(dān)當(dāng)狀語，首先看主句主語和compare之間的關(guān)系。主句主語為anyone，主動(dòng)發(fā)出compare這一動(dòng)作，故用ving形式。選擇A。句意為：任何長眼睛的人，只要把你的心臟和我的心臟進(jìn)行比較，就可以看出我的心臟很完美而你的心臟滿是疤痕。

8.考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞。通過下文But because the pieces aren’t exact, I have some rough edges,的描述可知，老人認(rèn)為心臟的每一個(gè)疤痕都提醒著他和別人分享的愛，他認(rèn)為自己的心臟才是最美的。因此他不愿意和別人交換。選項(xiàng)A意為可能；選項(xiàng)B意為樂意、過去常常；選項(xiàng)C意為能夠；選項(xiàng)D意為應(yīng)該。選擇B。

9.考查名詞辨析。通過下文I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they ___ me a piece of their heart可知，老人把自己的心臟上取下一塊送給所愛的人，而所愛之人再回贈(zèng)一塊，就這么形成了很多疤痕，所以這些疤痕都代表了愛。選擇D。

10.考查定語從句。本句為定語從句。先行詞為a person，代入從句中構(gòu)成短語，give my love to a person，缺少介詞to，故空格處填to whom。選擇D。

11.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。本空為原詞重現(xiàn)。根據(jù)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給一個(gè)人，那么這個(gè)人也會(huì)給我一塊他的心臟。故本空選擇B。

12.考查形容詞辨析。根據(jù)上文可知，我把我的心的一部分給我愛的人，那么這部分就會(huì)空著。選項(xiàng)A意為空的；選項(xiàng)B意為滿的；選項(xiàng)C意為紅色的；選項(xiàng)D意為第一的。故選擇A。

13.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。兩個(gè)人的心互相交換，這象征著彼此分享著的愛。故選擇C，意為：因?yàn)檫@些疤痕提醒著我我們共享的愛。

14.考查介詞短語。通過上文可知，老人把自己的心給別人，所以這里需要填一個(gè)副詞，和give構(gòu)成短語，表示贈(zèng)送。選項(xiàng)A give in意為屈服；選項(xiàng)B give away意為贈(zèng)送、泄露；選項(xiàng)C give off意為散發(fā)；選項(xiàng)D give up意為放棄。根據(jù)分析，選擇B。

15.考查名詞辨析。本空為原詞重現(xiàn)，上文反復(fù)出現(xiàn) a piece of heart，故選擇C。句意為：另一個(gè)人并沒有回贈(zèng)他的一部分心。

16.考查動(dòng)詞。通過分析可知，有時(shí)候你把心給了別人，別人未必會(huì)回贈(zèng)給你，故會(huì)形成空隙。這意味著付出愛也是一種冒險(xiǎn)。故選擇A，構(gòu)成短語：take a chance，意為冒險(xiǎn)、碰運(yùn)氣。

17.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。上文句意為：雖然這些豁口很疼。下文意為我還是讓它們敞開著，因?yàn)樗鼈儠?huì)提醒我我曾經(jīng)對那些人的愛。選項(xiàng)A意為持續(xù)；選項(xiàng)B意為砍、切；選項(xiàng)C意為來到；選項(xiàng)D意為保持。根據(jù)句意，選擇D最為恰當(dāng)。

18.考查動(dòng)詞短語。根據(jù)下文的tore out a piece可知，年輕人把手伸進(jìn)自己的心中。選項(xiàng)A意為帶走；選項(xiàng)B意為伸進(jìn)；選項(xiàng)C意為拿出；選項(xiàng)D意為撫養(yǎng)長大、嘔吐。根據(jù)分析，選擇B。句意為：年輕人默默走進(jìn)老人，把手伸進(jìn)自己完美的心中，撕下一塊，把它送給老人。

19.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。上文一直使用give…to…，表示把…送給…。此處選用相似意義的詞即可。選項(xiàng)A意為返回；選項(xiàng)B意為拿走；選項(xiàng)C意為提供，給予；選項(xiàng)D意為為…服務(wù)。故選擇C，構(gòu)成短語 offer…to…，把…送給…。

20.考查動(dòng)詞辨析。通過上文的But because the pieces aren’t exact, I have some rough edges,可知，當(dāng)在彼此交換的心不完全合適時(shí)，會(huì)有粗糙的邊緣。選項(xiàng)A意為適合；選項(xiàng)B意為擊打、襲擊；選項(xiàng)C意為心臟跳動(dòng)等等；選項(xiàng)D意為安置、擺放。故選擇A。

Tuvalu, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it fears it will be swallowed up by the sea. Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu’s nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level. Salt water is already entering the country’s drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable. 1.

2. Venice(威尼斯), a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24 cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 20 cm-50 cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Mark’s Square, the lowest point in the city, was flooded about nine times a year. Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, Tuvalu’s rising sea level is caused by global warming.

The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degree over the past century; scientists expect it to rise by extra 1-3 degrees over the next 100 years.

Warmer weather makes glaciers(冰川)melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about 10 cm-25 cm in the last 100 years.

3.

Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.

Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate change. 4.

5. , the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with "climate refugees" looking for somewhere to live.

A. The main cause of global warming is human pollution.

B. Should this come true

C. Without urgent help, the country’s days are numbered.

D. But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea.

E. The sea level could rise by one meter this century.

F. People face a lot of pollution.

G. Much has been done about our planet.

Dear mum and dad,

I still cannot believe that I am taking up this prize I won last year. I have to

remind yourself constantly that I am real in AD 3008. Worrying about the journey,

I was unsettled for the first a few days. As a result, I suffer from “time lag”. This

is similar with the “jet lag” you get from flying, but it seems that you keep getting

flashbacks from your previous time period. So I was very nervous and uncertain

at first. However, Wang Ping, my friend and guide, were very understanding

but gave me some green tablet which helped a lot. Well-known for their expertise,

his parents company transported me safely into the future in a time capsule.

…

Yours,

Li Qiang

Britain's most popular lie has been disclosed, with one in four people admitting using “sorry I had no signal" when returning a missed mobile phone call, a survey found．

Researchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost 1500 every year．Almost one in six men admitted they were most likely to lie to their wife or girlfriend, on average at least twice a day．The most popular lie was saying you had no mobile phone signal, with one in four people admitting regularly using the little white lie．It usually came after they hit the “ignore" button when their mobile rang．

Three quarters of people think women are better liars．The research found 46 per cent of girls have been caught lying, compared to 58 of men．

The second most common fib is “I haven't got any cash on me” when asked for money by beggars and Big Issue sellers．“Nothing's wrong – I'm fine” came third followed by “You look lovely” and “Nice to see you”．

Modern technology turned out to have contributed to many lies with “I didn't get your text” in 18th, “Our server was down” in 20th and “My battery died” in 26th place．Other lies to make the top ten included “I'll give you a ring”, “We're just good friends” and “We'll have to meet up soon”．“I'm on my way” and “No, your bum doesn't look big in that” completed the top ten．

In many cases perhaps it is better to delight someone with a fib than destroy someone with the truth, according to a spokesman for One Poll, which carried out the research of 4,300 adults．He added: ‘As a nation we just like trying to be nice and not upsetting people．Often little white lies can cover what we actually want to say．Most of these were considered completely harmless．’

1.“You look lovely” and “Sorry, I had no signal” ranked __________ on the popular-lie list．

A．fourth and tenth B．fourth and first

C．third and tenth D．third and first

2.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．sentence B．expression

C．excuse D．lie

3.How many lies does an average Briton tell on average every month?

A．About 120 B．About 360

C．About 1,500 D．About 4
