To water his flowers, he used two buckets(水桶). One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one, which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best.Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked (漏出) along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say, “See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I dont know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are!”And all that the old bucket could say was，“I know I am not very useful, but I can only do my best. I am happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.”One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said, “You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back, I want you to look carefully along the path.”Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare（光秃秃的）earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.21. What was the old bucket ashamed of?A. His past. B. His leaking. C. His aging. D. His manner. 22. What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?A. dirty B. ordinary-looking C. dark . D. worn-out23. The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to _. A. take pity on the old one B. show off（炫耀） its beautiful looks C. laugh at the old one D. praise the gardeners kindness24. Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?A. Because it had its own function（作用）.B. Because it was taken as a treasure.C. Because it was used to keep a balance.D. Because it stayed in its best condition. BFor many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict （边界冲突）between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries（边界）: Where is the line between what I control and what you do? Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part，this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents complete unreasonableness（不合理）. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped. In this article, Ill describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrel on unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teens hair, the cleanness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the childs failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming（责备）. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesnt matter what the topic ispolitics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an eggthe point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong，for both wish to be considered an authoritysomeone who actually knows somethingand therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, theyll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress. 25. Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict?A. Both can continue for generations. B. Neither has any clear winner. C. Neither can be put to an end. D. Both are about where to draw the line. 26. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean? A. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.B. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict. C. The teens accuse （指控）their parents of misleading them. D. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.27. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to_. A. gain respect from the other B. know more than the other C. give orders to the other D. get the other to behave properly 28. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? A. Causes for the parent-teen conflicts B. Examples of the parent-teen war C. Solutions for the parent-teen problems D. Future of the parent-teen relationshipCFor some people, music is no fun at all. About 4% of the population is what scientists call “amusic”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs. As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. In fact, most people cannot understand what it feel like be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify(辨别) this unusual condition. Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different for those of people who can enjoy music. The difference is complex(复杂的), and it is not connected with poor hearing. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just cant see certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her music problem. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say ”No, thanks. Im amusic.” says Margret.29. Amusics are the people who _.A. like music B.are born unable to enjoy music C. dont like music D. have poor listening30. Life is hard for amusics mainly because _. A. people dont understand amusics B. music seems noise for them.C. amusics hate parties, restaurants or shopping center.D. amusics try to stay at places full of music 31. What causes amusics different from most people according to scientists? A. Their lack of colors. B. Their poor hearing. C. Their brains. D. Their problems with speech.32. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Amusics strange behaviors. B. Identification and treatment of amusic.C. Musical ability. D. Some peoples inability to enjoy music.DHave you ever taken a test that you thought you could have passed easily, only to make some silly mistakes that really hurt your grade? More than a few students have done that. And some seem to do it over and over again.There are several problem areas that can cause students to goof up or do poorly in a test that they could have passed.Some students can become overconfident in their knowledge of the subject matter. They think they know the material better than they actually do. It is easy for students to misjudge their own knowledge, and when they realize that they dont know the material, it is too late.What happens more often, though, is that some students feel they are smart enough to be able to guess their way through a test. So they dont bother studying the material. They are overconfident in their ability to figure things out.In either case, overconfidence can result in lower grades in tests. Does this apply to you?Another thing that can happen is that students underestimate (低估) the difficulty of the test. They expect an easy test, but the teacher throws in a real tough test that they havent prepared for. Sometimes the teacher may cover material in the test that students werent expecting. That can happen, especially if you werent paying attention in class.Finally, there are students who dont feel that getting a good grade is important to them, so they dont bother to study or even try to do well. Such students may be trying to punish their parents, have a poor image of themselves, or are just plain foolish. Hopefully, you are not one of these students.33. The writer believes that many students _.A. make careless mistakes B. are afraid of examsC. hate homework D. lack confidence34. According to the writer, who will be the most unwilling person to try his best in a test?A. John, expecting an easy test for him.B. Edward, dissatisfied with his parents.C. Dobby, believing he is the smartest in the class.D. Peter, being overconfident about his ability.35. What would be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. The causes of overconfidence.B. The causes of a poor self-image.C. Ways to prepare for a test.D. Ways to avoid making silly mistakes in a test.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Study BetterIf you want to study better, you should pay attention to learning methods, study skills and study habits.
