Question

I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled (searched) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which   1   their search. I found   2   and because of my shaking hands, I could   3   get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked   4   the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me. I   5   to him “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette.   6   he came close and lit the match, his eyes inadvertently locked with mine. At that moment, I   7  . I don't know why I did that. Perhaps it was   8  , perhaps it was because, when you get very, one to another, it is very   9   not to smile. In that instant, it was   10   a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn't want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and generated smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but   11  , looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.

  I   12   smiling at him, now aware of him as a(n)   13   and not just a jailer. And his looking at me seemed to have a new   14   too. “Do you have kids?” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the   15   of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I'd never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too.   16   without another word, he   17   my cell (牢房) and silently led me out．Out of the jail，quietly and by back routes，out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.

“My life was   18   by a smile.” Yes, the smile—the unaffected, unplanned,   19   connection between people. I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could   20   each other, we wouldn't be enemies. We couldn't have hate or envy or fear.

解析:

1.(C)《微笑》是法國作家安東尼·圣艾修伯里的作品，圣艾修伯里是名飛行員，二次大戰對抗納粹時被擊落身亡，之前他也曾參加西班牙內戰打擊法西斯分子。他根據這次經驗寫了一篇精彩的故事——《微笑》。他的代表作《小王子》是美國人都很熟悉的童話故事。此處的escaped their search字面上就表示出“(煙)逃離了他們的搜查”，也就是“沒有被他們搜走(的煙)”。

2.(D) lone指代前文中的一支煙。

3.(A) 因為“手抖”，所以“好不容易地”把煙放進嘴里。

4.(B) bars指監獄的鐵窗，透過鐵窗的間隙看著獄卒，下文也有提示。

5.(C) 根據下文的(獄卒)“came over”判斷我們隔著些距離，應該是“大聲叫道”。

6.(A) 當他靠近的時候。

7.(D) 那一刻，我微笑了。也正是這一微笑，消除了他們之間的隔閡。

8.(B) 可能是因為緊張，這是對一位蹲監獄的人的一種合乎邏輯的推測。

9.(B) 當你如此靠近另一個人，你很難不對他微笑。

10.(C) 微笑如同火花般，打破了我們心靈間的隔閡。

11.(D) 根據“looking at me directly in the eyes”可判斷出。

12.(A) 獄卒朝我微笑，我自然也微笑，認識到他不僅僅是一名獄卒。

13.(D) 認識到他不僅僅是一名獄卒，也是一個有血有肉有感情的人。

14.(A) 下文他突然問及孩子，所以這里是有了另外一個念頭。

15.(C) 根據下文“He，too，took out the pictures of his family……”可知。

16.(D) 獄卒聽作者說他的家庭孩子，不禁觸及他內心柔軟的部分令他落淚，"突然" 二話不說打開門讓他逃走。

17.(B) unlocked打開(牢房)

18.(C) 是微笑“救了”他的命。

19.(B) 微笑是人與人之間最自然真摯的溝通方式。

20.(D) 如果我們能用心靈去認識彼此，世間不會有結怨成仇的憾事；恨意、嫉妒、恐懼也會不復存在。
