112、ssing a piece. A large triangular wedge (三角形楔子) had been cut out of it. The circle wanted to be whole with nothing missing, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete, it could roll only very slowly. As it rolled slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It ch
113、atted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole, with nothing missing. It took the m
114、issing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice the flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled s
115、lowly away.The lesson of the story was that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to yearn (渴望), to hope, to nourish (滋养) his soul with the dream of something better. He will
116、 never know the experience of having someone who loves him give him something he has always wanted and never had. There is a wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go his unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure for doing so. The
117、re is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy and survive, who can lose someone and still feel like a complete person.When we accept that imperfection is part of being human, and when we can continue rolling through life and apprecia
118、ting it, we will have achieved a wholeness that others can only long for. That, I believe, is what God asks of us not “Be perfect”, not “Dont ever make a mistake”, but “Be whole”. And in the end, if we are brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, generous enough to rejoice in anothers happine
119、ss, and wise enough to know there is enough love to go around for us all, then we can achieve a fulfillment that no other living creature will ever know.71. According to paragraph 1, the circle gives up the missing piece, because _.A. it is not the perfect fit for the circleB. it is different from t
120、he circles wishC. it stops the circle from enjoying lifeD. it slows down the speed of the circle72. According to the author, why is the man who has everything in some ways a poor man?A.

123、完整。我们要带着这种不完美的心态去用心生活。【71题详解】.推理判断题。根据文章第一段句子“As it rolled slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine.”（它慢慢地滚动着，欣赏着沿途的花儿。它和虫子聊天。它享受着阳光。）可知，当圆圈缺了一块时，它只能慢慢滚动，它的生活很丰富多彩。根据第一段最后一句“When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly,
124、 it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.”（当它意识到当它滚动得如此之快时，世界是多么的不同，它停了下来，把找到的那块放在路边，慢慢地滚走了。）可知，圆圈放弃变得完美，就是因为变成完美后阻止了它继续享受生活。故选C项。【72题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段句子“He will never know what it feels like to yearn (渴望), to hope, to nourish (滋养) his soul with the dream of so
125、mething better. He will never know the experience of having someone who loves him give him something he has always wanted and never had.”（ 他永远不会知道渴望、希望、用梦想滋养灵魂的感觉。他永远不会体会到让一个爱他的人给他一些他一直想要却从未拥有的东西的经历。）可知，如果一个人拥有了一切，那么他就失去了生活的追求和激情。故选D项。【73题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线短语后面的内容“who has been brave enough to let go his
126、unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure for doing so.”（他勇敢地放弃了他的不切实际的梦想，并没有因为这样做而感到失败。）可知，一个完整的人会“接受”他的局限性。划线部分与accept意思相近，故选B项。【74题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“When we accept that imperfection is part of being human, and when we can continue rolling through life and appreciating it, we will have achie
127、ved a wholeness that others can only long for.”（ 当我们接受不完美是人类的一部分，我们能够继续在生活中滚动向前并欣赏它时，我们将获得别人渴望的完整。）可知，完整的人生就是一种能接受不完美并且带着这种心态继续生活的态度。故选A项。【点睛】(B)FIRE-FIGHTINGHow to fight a fireAnyone who uses fire-extinguishers should know a few basic facts about how to make them work.

Never point the jet directly into the liquid itself, as this
131、may make it splash and spread the fire. Instead, try and point the extinguisher up into the air so that the foam goes up and falls on top of the burning liquid. Whatever the kind of fire, do not stand up straight if you can stay down, this will help you to avoid the smoke, and you may be able to get
132、 closer to the fire. Get out of the building at once if you think your escape route might be cut off by smoke or fire. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) extinguishers Some fire extinguishers are filled with a gas called carbon dioxide. You can use these to put out fires which have been caused either by electrica
133、l equipment or flammable liquids. If the fire has been caused by electrical equipment, switch the equipment off and point the extinguisher straight at the fire. If the fire has been caused by a liquid like petrol, point the extinguisher at the nearest edge of the fire, and move it from side to side.

Firefighting is a complicated job that can only be done by fire brigades.77. Who is the potential target reader of this passage?A. Fire
137、fighters.B. The general public.C. College professors.D. Young children.【答案】75. D 76. A 77. B【解析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了如何正确使用不同的灭火器和使用时的注意事项。【75题详解】细节理解题。根据文中“You can put most fires out with water extinguishers.”（你用水灭火器可以扑灭大部分的火）可知，水灭火器只能扑灭大部分的火，所以A项You cannot put all fires out with water extinguishers.你不能用
138、水灭火器扑灭所有的火，与原文意思相符，所以A项正确；根据文中“Whatever the kind of fire, do not stand up straight if you can stay down, this will help you to avoid the smoke”（不论什么样的火，不要一直站着-如果你能趴下，这样可以帮你避免烟）可知，趴下是可以有效避免烟的伤害的，所以B项In case of fire, stay down to protect yourself from the smoke.如果有火，趴下可以让你免受烟的伤害，与文中意思相符，所以B项正确；根据文中“If
139、 there is any danger of the fire spreading to anything that can explode, you should not try to put the fire out yourself.

141、ent.泡沫灭火器用来扑灭由电器引起的火灾，与原文意思不符，所以D项错误，综上所述，只有D项不正确，故选D项。【76题详解】推理判断题。纵观全文可知，本文主要介绍不同的灭火器灭火，但不同灭火器的使用方法会因为不同类型的火灾也有所不同，所以在灭火时一定要正确使用灭火器，那么言外之意就是，如果没有正确使用灭火器也可能会使火灾更加恶化，所以A项，Inappropriate use of fire extinguishers might make things worse.不正确的使用灭火器可能会使事情恶化，是正确的；根据文中“Get out of the building at once if yo
142、u think your escape route might be cut off by smoke or fire. ”（如果逃跑路线被火或者烟切断，你应该立刻离开楼里），可知B项，You should stay in the building if your escape route is cut off. 如果逃跑路线被切断，你应该待在楼里，与原文不符，所以B项错误；C项Standing close to an exit will absolutely guarantee your safety in a fire.在火灾中，站在靠近出口的地方可以绝对保证你的安全，说法太绝对，所以C项
143、错误；D项Firefighting is a complicated job that can only be done by fire brigades.灭火是一项非常复杂的工作，所以只能由消防队来做这个工作。从文中介绍不同的灭火器使用方法可以知道，灭火并没有很复杂，只是需要我们掌握灭火器正确使用方法，除非火灾非常危险而且有爆炸的可能，才需要求助消防队，所以D项错误 ，综上所述，只有A项正确，是我们可以从文中推理出来的，故选A项。【77题详解】推理判断题。从文中可以知道文章在介绍灭火器的使用方法和注意事项，操作简单明了，而且文中多次提出只有特殊情况下才需要我们向消防队的专业人士寻求帮助，所以
