第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）
A
There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two buckets(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 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’m not very useful, but I can only do my best. I’m 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.
56. What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?
A. Dirty B. Dark
C. broken D. Small .
57. What was the old bucket ashamed of?
A. His past. B. His aging.
C. His manner. D. His leaking.
58. The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to
A. laugh at the old one.
B. take pity on the old one.
C. show off its beautiful looks.
D. praise the gardener’s kindness.
59. Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?
A. Because it was used to keep a balance.
B. Because it stayed in its best condition.
C. Because it was taken as a treasure.
D. Because it had its own function.

Two Americans were traveling in Spain. One morning they came into a little restaurant for lunch. They didn’t know Spanish, and their waiter didn't know English. They wanted him to understand that they wanted some milk and bread.
At first they spelled the word “milk” many times. Then they wrote it down. But the waiter could not understand them.
At last one of them took a piece of paper and began to draw a cow. When he finished his drawing, the waiter looked at it and ran out of the restaurant at once.
“Do you see,” said one of the travelers, “What a pencil can do for a man who has difficulties in a foreign country.”
The waiter was back again some time later, but he brought no milk. He put down in front of the two Americans two tickets for a bull-fight(斗牛).

I know what you’re thinking : pizza ? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a. m. if you want to.
I know lots of women who skip breakfast(不吃早餐), and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it . Some say they don’t have time. others think they’re “saving” calories(卡路里), still others just don’t like breakfast food .
