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.24.What does the underlined word “dilapidated probably mean?A.DirtyB.DarkC.Worn-out(破旧)D.Plain-looking(相貌平平)25.What was the old bucket ashamed of?A.His past.B.His aging.C.His manner.D.His leaking.27.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 (炫耀)its beautiful looksD.praise the gardeners kindness27.Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?A.Because it was used to keep a balance (平衡)B.Because it stayed in its best conditionC.Because it was taken as a treasure(珍品)D.Because it had its own function(功能、作用)CHappy birthday! Do birthdays really make people happy? Of course they do. Birthdays celebrate the day we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity(成熟 ) or so we hope. We all like to imagine that were getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the miracle of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. But growing old? Thats a different story.Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “Youre as young as you feel. Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those who  are young, or at least “young at heart.Many older Americans find the “golden years to be anything but golden. Economically, “senior citizens often struggle just to get by. Retirement at age 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination (歧视). In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was often treated rudelyeven cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.But the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why? People are living together. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged “baby boomers are rapidly entering the groups of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles (皱纹) are “in. Marketing experts are already noticing this group of consumers.28.Which is the correct statement according to the third paragraph?A.Many old people in America are suffering age discrimination.B.The golden years can make the old earn lots of money.C.The old in America have to retire at the age of 65.D.American social security benefits are good.29.From the last paragraph we know that the underlined word “in can be replaced by _.A.littleB.badC.disappearingD.popular30.What can we know from this passage?A.In America, growing up is not a wonderful process.B.In America, growing up is as wonderful a process as growing old.C.In America, growing up is a wonderful process, while growing old is not.D.In America, growing old is a wonderful process, while growing up is not.31.What should be mentioned in the next paragraph?A.The public will change their attitude towards old people.B.People will provide more services to the old in their communities.C.The government will pass laws to ensure the benefits of the people.D panies will soon produce more goods for old Americans.D.Dear Editor,I have just returned home after studying for a year in Germany. But it seems that my parents dont understand me now. They expect me to be the same person I was before I went abroad, but Im not! Why cant they let me be myself?JimmyHi, Jimmy,As far as I know, people who have lived abroad often find that the adjustment (调整) to returning home is more difficult than their adjustment to living in a foreign culture. Why? We expect to have some problems when we go to a new place, speak a different language and learn the rules of a different culture . But home? . we know that place!Your parents expect that the same person who boarded the airplane one year ago will be returning. Especially if they have never been abroad themselves, your parents probably wont understand the changes that living abroad can cause in a person. On the other hand, you may have maintained (保持) an ideal mental image of your loved ones while abroad, an image that is broken into pieces when you return.Remember you have been living a different lifestyle in your host country, and you have probably become very independent while staying there alone. Now that youre home, you will be expected to conform (顺应)again to the lifestyle of your family. As a result, you may be upset about your parents involvement in your life.Communication is the key to overcoming this problem. Tell your parents how you are feeling. Share with them information about cultural re-entry(重归), and ask them to be patient. This does not mean that you have to forget your experience and give up everything youve learned! Learn to find a balance between the old and new, just as you did when first adjusting to your host countrys culture.32.What is Jimmys main purpose in writing the letter?A.To criticize his parents.B.To ask for advice about his studies.C.To complain about his parents.D.To ask for help.33.What does the editor think of Jimmys problem?A.Its unusual.B.Its normal.C.Its serious.D.Its interesting.34.The editor thinks that both Jimmy and his parents _.A.have changed in the past yearB.have unrealistic expectations of each otherC.need to behave like they did beforeD.need to find a balance between the good and bad35.The author suggests that _ would help solve Jimmys problem.A.patience and trustB.patience and politenessC.better communication between family membersD.a deeper understanding of the host countrys culture 第二节 (共5小题；每题2分，总分值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正确选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。.One day Howard had to go to New York for a meeting.
