Long long ago, a circle missed one piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its 21 piece. But because it was 22 and therefore could roll only very slowly, it 23 the flowers along the way. It 24

with the worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but 25 of them fitted. So it left them all by the side of the road and 26 searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fitted 27 . It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll. 28 it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, 29 fast to notice the flowers or talk to the worms. After it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it 30 , left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
The 31 of the story, I suggest, is that in some strange 32 we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has 33 is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it 34 like to nourish his soul with the dream of something 35 . When we accept that 36 is part of being human and when we can continue rolling 37 life and appreciate it, we will have 38 a wholeness that others can only desire, which , I believe, is _39 God asks of us — not “Be perfect”, not “Don’t even make a mistake”, 40 “Be whole”. 21.

第二部分 阅读理解（共25小题；满分50分）
阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Dr. Sylvia Earle wants you to stop eating fish. It's not because fish are endangered, though wild fish stocks in many oceans are very low. It's not because they're bad for you, though fish in many areas are exposed to poisonous substances in the water. It’s because they're smart.
\are sensitive, they have personalities,\says the marine biologist. For Earle, eating a fish would be like eating a dog or a cat. \would never eat anyone I know personally.\
There's a lot more to fish than meets the eye: they talk to each other, they like to be touched, and they engage in behavior that can seem very human. They can remember things and learn from experience. Earle and a growing number of animal rights activists see these as strong arguments against eating fish altogether. The activists also point out that fish feel pain and fish suffer horribly on their way from the sea to the supermarket. \it may seem conspicuous that fish are able to feel pain, like every other animal, some people think of fish as swimming
4
vegetables,\says Dr. Lynne Sneddon. \it's kind of a moral question. Is the enjoyment you get from fishing (or eating fish) more important than the pain of the fish?\
Fishermen and (fried) fish lovers are skeptical. \never seen a smart fish,\says Marie Swaringen as she finishes off a plate of fish at a Seattle seafood restaurant. \
%us,\says another diner. \I've got to feel guilty while I'm eating my fish? What are they going to think of next? Don't eat salad because cucumbers have feelings?\41.According to Dr. Sylvia Earle, he would stop eating fish as a result of the following reasons EXCEPT ___________ .
A. Fish are sensitive and have personalities B. He knows fish very well
C. Fish are dangerous to eat because the water is polluted D. Fish are clever 42. Dr. Lynne Sneddon describes the behavior of eating fish in a(n) _______ tone.
A. opposed B. optimistic C. indifferent D. supportive 43. Which word below can take the place of the underlined word “conspicuous” in Paragraph 4?
A. obvious B. easy C. impossible D. necessary 44. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____________ .
A. Human beings should stop eating fish
B. We would feel guilty if we continued eating fish C. People eat fish because fish are delicious D. Cucumber is a kind of vegetable or fruit
45. What was the author’s purpose when writing this passage?
A. To advise people to stop eating fish.
B. To introduce a topic of whether people should eat fish. C. To advise people not to stop eating fish.
D. To tell us that fish will feel pain when caught and transported.
