12.There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care.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 don't 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(光禿禿的)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.

32.What was the old bucket ashamed of?D
A.His past.    B.His aging.
C.His manner.  D.His leaking.
33.What does the underlined word"dilapidated"probably mean?C
A.dirty              B.dark
C.worn-out           D.ordinary-looking.
34.The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly toB.
A.take pity on the old one
B.laugh at the old one
C.show off its beautiful looks
D.praise the gardener's kindness
35.Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?C
A.Because it was used to keep a balance
B.Because it stayed in its best condition
C.Because it had its own function
D.Because it was taken as a treasure.

分析 文章給我們講述了一個(gè)寓言故事,告訴我們每個(gè)人都是用自己的用處的.

解答 32.D 推理題.根據(jù)文章第2段3,4行The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes:before it reached the flowerbeds,much water had leaked along the path.可知舊的桶壞了,會(huì)漏水.他因此感到羞愧,故選D
33.C 猜測(cè)詞義題.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.他有二個(gè)桶,一個(gè)是新的,另一個(gè)是dilapidated,根據(jù)上下文可知這個(gè)詞與shiny and new是反義詞.C正確.
34.B 推理題.根據(jù)第3段第2行I don't know why he still bothers with you.What a waste of space you are!"可知那只新桶是在嘲笑那只舊的桶.故選B
35.C 推理題.根據(jù)最后一段 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.可知花匠仍然使用舊桶是因?yàn)樗匀挥杏茫?/p>

2.You probably remember me from the other day.I was the one who reacted very slowly to the green traffic light.When you honked your horn(鳴笛),I realized I was holding up traffic,so please accept my apology.However,I do want you to know why I seemed in a confused state.You see,I was just at the doctor's office getting the results of the examination I had two weeks ago,and I was wondering how I would tell my husband and children that I had cancer.There were still tears in my eyes,so,quite simply I didn't even see the lights change.Perhaps I should not have been driving,but I didn't want to miss my appointment.
I was in the express lane(快速通道)at the supermarket without thinking and moving.Please accept my apology.My mind was on my youngest daughter who ran away from home,and she?'just sixteen.I was so worried then.You see,she somehow got in with the wrong crowd and started using drugs and drinking.I was remembering what a pretty little girl she had been most of her life.I know you were unhappy along with others in line.Please,accept my apology.
I remember you from the store last week.I was so mean to you,when you were doing your job to the best of your ability.I acted so childishly.Please accept my apology.You see,I arrived home from work just yesterday and discovered that my wife had left me,but I should never have taken it out on you.Please,accept my apology.
The above are imagined incidents,and yet they expressed a very real truth.The old saying about judging others before you"have walked a mile in their shoes"is a much needed reminder.Perhaps we all could try to learn the fact that there are problems and situation in the lives of others which we are totally unaware of.So,maybe before we get angry in similar situations,we should think a moment and understand that things may be going on in other's lives which have caused them to be slower,absent-minded or angry.Patience,as they say,is a virtue.
64.The woman was holding up traffic becauseC.

3.A recent study shows that boys and girls learn differently.So ma ybe we can maximize (最大化)learning by teaching them in single gender (性別) programs.
   First,boys and girls see differently.Boys interpret the world as objects moving through space.In their opinion,a good teacher should move around the room constantly and be that object.
   The male eye is usually drawn to cooler colors like silver,blue,black,grey,and brown.It's no accident boys tend to create pictures of moving objects like spaceships,cars,and trucks in dark colors instead of drawing a happy colorful family,like girls in their class.The fem ale eye,on the other hand,is drawn to textures(質(zhì)地) and colors.They tend to like warmer colors-red,yellow,orange,and visuals with more details,like faces.Girls work well in circles,faci ng each other.Using descriptive(描寫性的) phrases in presentations or lots of colors on the chalkboard can help get their attention.
  Boys and girls also hear differently.When someone speaks in a loud tone,girls interpret it as yelling.They think you're mad and should quiet down.Girls are more sensitive to sounds.Girls'teachers should notice the tone of their voices.Boys'teachers should sound matter of fact,even excited.
  Boys'nervous systems cause them to be more alert when they're standing,moving,and the room temperature is around 20℃.Stress in boys tends to increase blood flow to their brains,a process that helps them stay focused.This won't work for girls,who are more focused seated in a warmer room around 25℃.Girls also respond to stress differently.When exposed to a threat,blood goes to their guts(內(nèi)臟),leaving them feeling nervous or anxious.
33.According to the new study,in order to have more effects on the learning of children,we'd betterA.
A.care for girls as well as boys in a class   
B.hold single gender classes
C.make girls sit in front of a classroom   
D.teach in classes mixed with two genders
34.We learn from the passage thatC.
A.boys feel stressed in a very cold room
B.boys tend to feel nervous under stress
C.girls need a higher temperature than boys to stay focused
D.girls should do more sports to keep their brains active
35.Which is the best title for the passage?C
A.The Differences Between Boys and Girls
B.Male Teachers and Female Teachers
C.Boys and Girls Learn Differently
D.Physical Differences Between Boys and Girls.

7.Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways.The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society.There are more ideas,more disagreements in interest,and more groups and organizations with different beliefs.In addition,there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies.All these factors (因素)tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision.In a society where people are similar in many ways,there are fewer situations for people to see the need or the chance for change because everything seems to be the same.And although conditions may not be satisfactory,they are at least customary and clear.
Within a society,social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material aspects,for example,in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the simple elements(要素)rather than in the complex ones; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange ones.
Besides,social change is easier if it is gradual.For example,it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with a sharp division.This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities,because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white fellows.

24.The underlined part"greater tolerance"in Paragraph 1probably refers to"C".
A.quicker adaptation to changing conditions
B.greater willingness to accept social change
C.more respect for different beliefs and behavior
D.greater readiness to agree to different conditions
25.Why is social change less likely to occur in a society where people are similar in many ways?C
A.They are so conservative that they tend to slow down social change.
B.They can easily get what they want in the material aspect of society.
C.They are so used to their conditions that they seldom want to change.
D.They have similar needs that can be satisfied without much difficulty.
26.Which of the following factors probably tends to promote social change fast?A
A.Different points of view.
B.Traditional values.
C.Sharp divisions in relations.
D.Similar appearances.
27.What is this passage mainly discussing?D
A.Two different kinds of society.
B.Consequences of social change.
C.The importance of social change.
D.Certain factors affecting social change.
