　　Three passions have governed my life: the longing for love, the search into knowledge, and the unbearable __1__pity for the suffering of mankind.I have sought of love, first, because it brings ecstasy--ecstasy so great because I would often have __2__sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours for this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness which one shivering consciousness __3__looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, then, because in the __4__union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven where saints and poets __5__have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might

seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--i have found.

　　With equal passionate I have sought knowledge. I have wished __6__to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine...A little this, but not much, I have achieved. __7__Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible,led upward toward the heavens. But it always pity brought __8__me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors,helpless old people--a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty and pain make a mock of what __9__human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,and I too suffer. This has been my life. I have found it worth of living, and would gladly live it again if the chance __10__were offered me.

　　答案及解析:

　　1.into-for

　　search into意思是“调查”，这里要表示“寻找”，应该用词组search for。

　　2.because-that

　　原句意思是：我追寻过爱，首先是因为他带来狂喜——莫大的狂喜，我常会为了几个小时的这种喜悦吧我的余生都牺牲掉。“so...that”句型表示因果关系。

　　3.^which-in

　　这句的意思是：我追寻过爱，再者是因为它能排遣寂寞——陷入那种可怕的寂寞，一颗颤抖的心灵在世界的边缘之上俯瞰冰冷，深不见底、毫无生息的深渊。which做关系代词引导从句修饰loneliness，同时定语从句本身主谓语结构完整，因此应在which前面加上in，表示“在这种寂寞中”，做状语。

　　4.then-finally/lastly

　　前文已经出现了表示列举的first、next，此句之后也没有再列举其他理由，所以此处应该表示列举最后一条原因，应为finally或者lastly。

　　5.where-that/which

　　此处heaven是先行词，后边的定语从句只缺少宾语，不能用关系副词where，应该用关系代词that或者which。

　　6.passionate-passion

　　with是介词，后面应跟名词，而passionate是形容词，故改为passion。

　　7.^this-of

　　此处a little是名词词组，后面不能直接跟代词，所以加上of。

　　8.(But)it--/

　　此句意思是：爱和知识，在可能的情况下，引人向上通往天堂。然而，怜悯却总是把我带回尘世，可见But一句的主语是pity，因此it是多余的，应删除。

　　9.mock-mockery

　　此处是固定词组： make a mockery of 的使用，意为嘲笑。

　　10.(worth)of--/

　　加动名词表示值得做某事，因此应去掉of。
