试题分析：文章讲述了一个真理的寻求者找了多年之后，被告诉山洞里的一口井可以告诉他真理，他就找到了那口井，从井里发出了声音告诉他到十字路口的村庄去，在那儿他能找到真理。他去了之后才发现那里只有三家商店，一家在买一些金属，一家在买木头，还有一家在买细线，其余的什么也没有了。他并未找到真理。多年之后，他在散步的时候被美妙的琴声所吸引，顺着琴声找过去发现了一架琴，他突然领悟到什么才是真谛。零碎的东西没有多大意义，但是要组合在一起，就有了它难以估量的价值了。

有用只是不大，所以这个不合适）successful adj成功的； accessible adj 可接近的；meaningful adj有意义
单个的东西难以发挥大的作用，没有意义，故答案为D。
小题20:A 考查动词的词义。句意为：组合起来的这些东西，他们的属性我们是不能通过单独的碎片去预见的。意思是说，我们预见不到他们的意义，如果仅靠单独的碎片。故答案应为A。foreseen vt 预见，预知；witnessed vt目睹；judged vt判断；formed vt组成。

F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.
His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: “My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”
This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.
However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The love of the last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.

You see I can"t even write this properly. I can"t read. What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that - everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness.
