To water his flowers, he used two buckets. 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. The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked 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 Im not very useful, but I can only do my best. Im 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 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.1. What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?A. Dirty B. DarkC. Wornout D. Plainlooking.2. What was the old bucket ashamed of?A. His past. B. His aging.C. His manner. D. His leaking.3. The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to _.A. laugh at the old oneB. take pity on the old oneC. show off its beautiful looksD. praise the gardeners kindness4. Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?A. Because it was used to keep a balanceB. Because it stayed in its best conditionC. Because it was taken as a treasureD. Because it had its own functionBCan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Twothirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasnt all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. They are learning how to talk each others language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk dog, and dogs can learn how to talk CatWhats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each others body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously suspected. Once familiar with each others presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together in the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom(梳理) each other.The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond petsto people who dont get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.1. The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to_.A. early B. sweetlyC. quickly D. smoothly2. Some cats and dogs may fight when_.A. they are cold to each other B. they look away from each otherC. they misunderstand each others signalsD. they are introduced at an early age3. It is suggested in paragraph 4 that cats and dogs_.A. have common interests B. are less different than was thoughtC. have a common body languageD. are less intelligent than was expected4. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A. We should learn to live in harmonyB. We should know more about animalsC. We should live in peace with animalsD. We should learn more body languagesCAttractive fathers do not pass their looks onto their sons but they will hand their good looks down to their daughters，research shows.In a study of family photographs，Professor David Perrett and Elisabeth Cornwellnow at the University of Colorado have found that while both father and mother can influence the attractiveness of their daughters，the couples good looks do not necessarily contribute to the attractiveness of their son as an adult. Handsome men with masculine(阳刚的) looks are likely to pass on masculine features，but not facial attractiveness.The theory suggests it is not unusual for attractive parents to produce a beautiful daughter while failing to pass on the same good looks to a son. While many celebrity mothers produce beautiful daughterssuch as Goldie Hawn and her daughter Kate Hudson or Jerry Hall and her daughter Georgiathe same is not necessarily true of celebrity fathers. Sean Stewart，the son of Rod Stewart and his first wife Alana，would probably be judged less attractive than his model sister Kimberly. “We cant see a strong relationship between the parents attractiveness and the sons. If the parents are supermodels，their daughters will be lookers，”Perrett said.Prof Perrett said it has previously been suggested that a woman could increase her own reproductive(繁殖的)success by choosing a goodlooking man whose genes would be passed onto male children. But the new study，published in the current edition of the journal Animal Behaviour，disagrees with the theory.He said：“When we looked at womans faces，we found clear evidence that attractiveness passed from both father and mother to daughter. For the male line，we find that facial masculinity follows the rule like fatherlike sonMasculine dads have masculine sons. But we did not find any evidence that facial attractiveness is passed from father to son.”1Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AFather and mother can influence the attractiveness of their children.BHandsome fathers with masculine looks will not pass on masculine features.CThere is a strong relationship between the parents attractiveness and the daughters.DIf the parents are supermodels，their sons will be goodlooking.2What does the underlined word “lookers” in the fourth paragraph most probably mean?AOnlookersBBeauties CModels DPassersby3How many celebrity families are mentioned in the passage?AThree BOne CTwo DFour4The passage is most likely to be found in a book about_.Apolitical systems Bhistorical eventsCsuccessful people Dpopular science 四 完成句子： 1. 我们匆匆地赶到体育馆，结果却被告知音乐会已经结束了。We rushed to the stadium, the concert had come to an end .
