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(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 s pace 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 le ast.”One day, the gardener heard that kind or 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.

But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896. That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world’s first automobile. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car’s parts to the worker, instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other people’s ideas and make them better. And he made the whole factory a movingproduction line.In the early days of the automobile, almost every car maker raced his cars. It was the best way of gaining public notice. Henry Ford decided to build a racing car. Ford’s most famous race was his first one. It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.The race was in 1901, at a field near Detroit. All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left: the Winton and Ford’s. The Winton was famous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over before it began.The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain. And near the end of the race, he took the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared in newspapers and he became well-known all over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company. In the 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company. That sale was the beginning of Henry Ford’s dream. Ford said: "I will build a motor car for the great mass of people. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will be built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce. It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one."The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost $850. It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on. Doctors bought the Model T. So did farmers. Even criminals，They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation. Americans loved the Model T. They wrote stories and songs about it. Thousands of Model T’s were built in the first few years.58. What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1?A. He made good use of ideas from others.B. He produced the first car in the world.C. He knew how to improve auto parts.D. He invented the production line.59. Why did Henry Ford take part in the 1901 car race?A. To show off his driving skills.B. To draw public attention.C. To learn about new technology.D. To raise money for his new company.60. “That sale” in Paragraph 4 refers to.A. the selling of Ford cars at reduced pricesB. the sale of Model T to the mass of peopleC. the selling of a car to a Detroit doctorD. the sales target for the Ford Company61. What was Henry Ford’s dream according to the text?A. Producing cars for average customers.B. Building racing cars of simple design.C. Designing more car models.D. Starting more companies.Section DDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A—F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need．A. Description of Masked LovebirdB. Social BehaviorC. Appearance of Masked LovebirdD. Size, Care and FeedingE. Breeding/ReproductionF. Species of Masked Lovebird62.The Masked Lovebird is a very small member of the parrot family. The head is brownish-black with a yellow collar around the neck. The throat and upper breast is also yellow. The feathers of the rump and onto the upper tail are bluish, and the tail also has occasional orange and black markings. The eye is dark brown surrounded by a naked white eye ring. The beak is red and the legs are gray. The females in this species are slightly larger than the males. The young are duller especially on the head and they have black markings on the beak.63.The Masked Lovebird belongs to a group of lovebirds called the “eye-ring” species. There are four eye-ring species. This group can be identified by the obvious strong ring around their eyes. They are closely related and will interbreed readily if kept together, even though they are different species. It is strongly urged that you keep these species separate to maintain their natural forms, as breeding within each species itself produces the most beautiful colour mutations.64.The Masked Lovebird will get up to about 6”(14.5—15.5 cm) in length. A roomy cage is required as lovebirds are very active. If you have a tame pet that is kept in a small cage, it needs to be let out for extended periods to fly about. In the wild the Masked Lovebird eats seeds as well as agricultural crops, especially corn and millets. As a pet they will enjoy a variety of seeds, fruits, vegetables, and commercial pellets.65.In the wild they are seen in small flocks, and occasionally larger flocks when feeding in ripening crop fields. A lovebird is a very social bird with its companion, and it is generally thought to be essential for their good health and happiness that they be kept in pairs rather than singly. They can, however, be aggressive towards other birds in an aviary setting.66.The Masked Lovebird is excellent for the beginning breeder. These birds will breed as either single pairs or in colonies. In the wild these birds nest in the holes of trees. When you provide them with a nest box, be sure to also provide lots of willow twigs, strips of bark, or other nesting materials. The hen will lay three or four eggs that are hatched for about 21 to 23 days. The young leave the nest in about 44 to 45 days. When they become independent, remove the young to their own housing.第II卷I.
