I took them to the shoemakers.The young apprentice(学徒)glanced at the 1 and said, “Nothing I can do except 2 the upper.”His master looked at them and said,“If you 3 me, I will add more scratches on both the shoes.”I was 4 and asked why.He explained, “As if the opening were made 5 for a special style.”I didnt fully understand him, 6 I decided to leave the shoes.Two days later I dropped by from work to 7 the shoes. I found more scratches on each shoe; all the openings were patched(缝补)by soft red leather; the stitches(针脚) were twisted with the appearance looking more 8 and interesting than ever. I couldnt help praising the masters 9 .Another time, my sisters blouse was torn, leaving a large opening. My wife checked it 10 , and then said, “Let me take it home and 11 it.”Three days later, seeing it again, I was greatly 12 : all the torn parts took on a look of ice crystal(水晶)；attached to it was a snowman made of flowery rags. I sighed with 13 , “Its amazing!”“I was 14 by that shoemaker.

A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 days. Jeanne Calment lives in a small old peoples home in the south of France; her husband, her only child and her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90-year-old in good health than someone of 120. She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: A very short one. She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her. So what is the key to a long life? According to some doctors, diet, exercise and no smoking are the three important factors. Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips. She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she used to do exercises every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day, and she does smoke(now only a little). Besides, Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes(基因)from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86. A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house. Every year on her birthday Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying: Sorry, Im still alive! 21. How does Jeanne Calment feel about her old age? A. She is miserable and unhappy. B. She is cheerful and humorous. C. She would like to live much longer. D. She feels she is going to die very soon. 22. Jeanne Calment owes her good health and long life to _ A. smoking only a little every dayB. her giving up smoking and drinkingC. drinking two glasses of strong red wine every dayD. the good genes from her parents, a healthy diet and some exercises23. Why does Jeanne Calment say “Sorry, Im still alive” to the local lawyer every year on her birthday?A. Because she had an agreement at 80 with the lawyer which was to her advantage. B. Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed. C. Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house.D. Because the house she sold to the lawyer isnt worth the money he has already paid. BLife may not always seem fair, but we can learn to deal with it and make new choices along the way.I remember so clearly sitting next to my dad as we drove through the town. I was complaining about something unfair that had happened to me. Dad looked directly at me and said, “No one ever said life was fair.” I was shocked at his answer. Later on as my marriage had problems even though I tried to save it. I could still hear “Its not fair” in my heart. Now as I raise two kids alone, try to create new relationships and build a business, I am forced to face the inevitable （不可避免的） truth every day. Gradually Ive found that I have accepted my dads wisdom.We all will face loss or unexpected changes. But unfairness should not be the only thing in our life. We choose for ourselves what seems fair by comparing our lives with others, and this can lead us to feel that our own lives are unfair. People need to ignore what others have and set their own plans. Certainly, therere so many unhappy events in the world and in our lives, and when we deal with them, we try to control as many things as we can. Then, the sense of “ its not fair” often comes when we cant control the things in our lives. So please put your efforts into the process rather than the result. You should learn that life is unfair, but you can be fair and learn how to enjoy life.24. How did the author feel when she heard her fathers answer?A. She felt surprised. B.

B 上文提到作者女儿的鞋子被刀划破了，由此可知是年轻的学徒看了看鞋的“开口处”。此外，下文中也多次出现了opening。2. A 年轻的学徒对被刀子划破的鞋无能为力，只能“更换”上面的部分。后三项都不符合语境 。3. D 上文提到学徒只能更换被划破的部分，除此之外，无计可施。再根据师傅所说的话可知他另有妙招，但是需要首先赢得作者的“信任”。假如选择C项，需要在后面加上with。4. B 作者的目的是修鞋，而修鞋师傅竟然打算在两只鞋上增加更多的划痕，作者自然感到“迷惑不解”，并询问其中原因。5. A 修鞋师傅解释说这样看起来这些划痕似乎是为了某种特殊的风格而“故意”制作的。后三项分别表示“偶然”“特别，尤其”“依次，反过来”，都不符合语境。6. D 虽然作者没有充分理解对方的话，但是作者决定把鞋留给对方修理，此处表示的是转折含义。7.
