两只水桶

从前有一个花匠，他精心地照管着自己的花园。他用两只水桶浇花，其中一只是闪亮的新桶，另一只

却已经使用了很多年，看起来非常破旧，早已不复昔日的辉煌。

每天早晨，花匠会把两个桶装满水，然后挑着它们沿着小路走到花网。新水桶非常骄傲，它里面的水

满满的，一点都没有溢出。旧水桶却感到非常惭愧，因为它身上有小洞，还没到花圃，很多水已经沿着小

路漏掉了。

有时候，新水桶会说，"看我多能干！花匠有我每天帮他浇花多好！我真不知道他为什么还舍不得丢

掉你。你简直就是个废物嘛！"

而那只旧水桶只会说，"我知道我没有多大用处，但是我会尽我所能。至少，花匠仍然觉得我还有一

点点用处，我已经很高兴了。"

有一天，花匠听到了它们的交谈。像往常一样给花浇完水后，他说，"你们两个都做得很好。现在我

要带你们回去，我希望你们一路上仔细看看小路的两旁。”

两个水桶就照着花匠说的做了。沿着小路，他们看到，新水桶经过的那一边，只有光秃秃的土地，而

旧水桶经过的另一边，则长满了怒放的野花，一直蔓延到花园。

重点单词：

1.bucketfbAkit]n.水桶

2.dilapidated[diIzepdoitd]adj.荒废的

3.spill[spd]此使溢出vi.溢出

4.leak[li:k]vi.漏，渗

5.joyous[*dsoos]adj.令人高兴的，充满欢乐的

重点短语/亮点句式：

1.TherewasagardenerwhoiDokcdafterhisgardenwithgreatcare.

从前有一个花匠，他精心地照管着自己的花园.

who引导的是一个限制性定语从句。如：

Weadmirethewomanwhohelpsthedisabled.

我们很钦佩那位帮助残疾人的女士。

2.beproudof因...骄傲，为....自豪。如：

Youshouldbeproudofyourachievements.

你应该为你的成就感到自豪。

3.Itcouldcarryafullbuck2tofwaterwithoutasingledropspilled.

它里面的水满满的，一点都没有溢出。

本句中使用了"with/without+宾语+宾语补足语"作状语。Drop和spill之间为被动关系。如：

Isatinmyroomforafewminuteswithmyeyesfixedontheceiling.

我在房间坐了一会儿，眼睛盯着天花板。

Theconferencehurriedlyfinishedwithoutasingleagreementreached.

会议很快就结束了，没达成任何一个协议。

Withoutanyonenoticing,sheslippedthroughthewindow.

美国的音乐风格

詹姆斯•费尼莫尔•库柏，一位美国早期的作家，曾经说过：“美国人对音乐艺术几乎是相当无知。”

如果这句话曾经是事实，今天就绝对不是你所知道的样子了。大部份的美国人一一甚至那些杈本没有音乐

细胞的人一一都有自己喜爱的音乐类型。很多人喜欢来自世界各地的古典音乐和民间音乐。但是美国其他

的流行音乐则是土生土长的。

在美国，乡村和西部音乐深入人心。这种音乐风格是从美国南部和西部的乡村音乐发展而来的。乡村

音乐讲述的是平实的爱情故事和生活的艰辛。吉他、五弦琴和小提琴赋予了乡村音乐特有的音色。美国乡

村音乐的故乡是位于田纳西州的那什维尔市，它号称美国音乐之城。

爵士乐，是在19世纪晚期由非裔美国人创造的，这种音乐可以让演奏者自由宣泄自己的情绪、表现自

己的音乐技巧。爵士乐手们不仅演奏乐曲，也可以即兴创作不同的曲调。20世纪20年代，爵士乐进入了巅

峰时期。这个时期造就了路易斯•阿姆斯特朗、•古德曼和•埃林顿这样的杰出乐手。不同城市孕育了不

同风格的爵士乐，比如新奥尔良、芝加哥、纽约和堪萨斯市。

20世纪50年代见证了一种爆炸性的音乐类型的发展，这就是摇滚乐。这种音乐极具震撼力，涉及的是

诸如爱情、性、毒品、政治和死亡之类的话题。它经常叛离世人接受的社会价值观念。摇滚音乐会凭借其

高昂的乐声和怪异的舞台表演已经成为美国年轻人的主流文化之一。摇滚音乐的视频也通过电视传播到r

世界偏远的角落。

音乐的节拍一直在前进。流行音乐代表了流行的风格深受人众喜爱。逝去的岁月留给我们的“黄金老

歌”带领很多人重温昔日的美好回忆。嘻哈音乐，于20世纪7D年代迅速跻身音乐舞台，它实际就像〜种

押韵的说唱。嘻哈乐手表达的是强烈的、有时甚至是粗俗的街头生活。

美国人一直是信奉宗教的民族，因此音乐也是他们宗教体验的一部分。如今的基督教音乐可以满足人

们不同的音乐品味一一乡村音乐、爵士乐、流行音乐、摇滚乐、嘻哈音乐无不包含其中。

在美国，音乐是一种可以与人分享的体验。人们在钢琴课、合唱队和游行乐队的练习中成长起来。当

无话可谈的时候，他们就可以聊一聊自己的音乐爱好。如果今天费尼莫尔•库柏还在人世，他肯定得更正

自己的论调了。

【重点单词】

1.ignorant[*gn(a)r(o)nt]adj.无知的;愚昧的

2.originate[arrigneit;rr]vt.引起；创作

3.banjo['bzendssu]n.班卓琴；五弦琴

4.improvise['mprava。]vt.即兴创作；即兴表演

5.weird[wed]a”怪异的；不可思议的

6.chant[tja：nt]n.圣歌；赞美诗

7.vulgar[*vAlgo]adj.粗俗的：通俗的

【重点短语/亮点句式】

1.insteadof代替；而不是。这是一个复合介词，后跟名词、代词或者动名词作宾语。如：

Whydon'tyouplayfootbal1insteadofjustlookingon?

你为什么不参加踢足球而只是看热闹？

2.suchas比如；诸如。这个短语用来表示不完全列举。如：

HeroessuchasHuangJigueingwillalwaysliveintheheartsofthepeople.

像黄继光这样的英雄人物，将永远活在人民的心里。

Ilikedrinkssuchasteaandsoda.

我喜欢诸如茶和汽水之类的饮料。

3.The1950ssawthedevelopmentofanexplosivenewmusicstyle:rock'n'roll.

20世纪50年代见证了一种爆炸性的音乐类型的发展，这就是摇滚乐。

动词see作“经历；见证”讲时，主语通常是某个时间或者地点，并且通常不用进行时态。如：

Thecityhasseenplentyofviolenceovertheyears.

近年本市发生多起暴力事件。

Thecountryseesadecreaseinpopulation.

这个国家人口数出现了下降。

4.IfJamesFenimoreCooperwereheretoday,hewouldsurelyhavetochangehistune.

如果今天费尼莫尔・库柏还在人世，他肯定得更正自己的论调了。

这个主从复合句中使用了虚拟语气。表示与现在事实相反，if从句中的动词用用过去时过去时（Be动词用

were）,主句中的动词用should/would/could/might+do。如：

IfIwereyou,Iwouldtakeanumbrella.

如果我是你，我会带把伞。（事实：我不可能是你）

IfIknewhistelephonenumber,Iwouldtellyou.

如果我知道他的电话号码，我就会告诉你。（事实：不知道）

A.werenotill,wouldn'tbeB.hadbeenill,wouldn'thavebeen

C.hadbeenill,shouldhavebeenD.hadn'tbeenill,couldbe

2.Howmanymusicstylesarementionedinthepassage?Whatarethey?

答案

1.A考查虚拟语气。表示与现在事实相反，if从句中的动词用用过去时过去时（Be动词用were）,主句中

的动词用shou1d/wou1d/cou1d/might+do,所以答案为A。

2.Six.Theyarocountryandwostornmusic,jazzmusic,rock'n'roll,popmusic,rapmusicand

A

【答案】1.A2.D3.B4.A

【解析】这是一篇应用文。由中国导演ZhangWei执导的电影《天籁梦想》3月10号在纽约首映。该文介

绍了这部电影的主要内容和所获奖项。

1.词义猜测题。由第四段中的“Thuptcnisa10-year-oldboypartiallysightedinoneeyeandblind

intheothern和第六段中的"Alongwithhisthreefriendswhoalsosufferfromblindness”可知，

这四个孩子的眼睛都有问题，视力受损。故该划线单词意思应为“损害”，故A选项正确。

2.细节理解题。由倒数第三段中的"Thereasonforthechildren'sdecisiontogotoShenzhenistheir

loveofmusic.Theyarealltalentedandwanttosingtheirneartsoutinfrontofnationalaudience

byparticipatinginaShenzhen一basedrealityshow”可知,这四个孩子都热爱音乐。他们想参加在

深圳举行的真人秀节目，在全国观众面前唱出自己的心声。故D选项正确。

3.细节理解题。由第一段中的"AwardingwiningfilmBa11adFromTibet《天巍梦想》）byChinesedirector

ZhangWeiisscheduledtopremiereinNewYorkCityonSaturd
