第I 卷第一节阅读理解(每小题2分,满分30分)AThere 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(漏水)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 you. What a waste of space you are!”And all that the old buck et could say was, “I know I am 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, “Y ou 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 sidewhere the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.1.

He has good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment(约见)was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre(胎)of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man sa id, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed.Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease(油污)on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking thechair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.Then the inter viewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved(出名的)coffee as he landed(谋得)himself a new job.5. What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview?A. A friend’s car had a flat tyreB. a wild man was pushing a carC. a terrible accident happenedD. an old man’s car broke down6. Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride?A. He was also to be interviewedB. He needed a traveling companionC. He always helped people in needD. He was thankful to Jimmy7.

The interviewer was very rude8. What can we learn from Jimmy’s experience?A. Where there is a will, there’s a wayB. A friend in need is a friend indeedC. Good is rewarded with good.D. Two heads are better than oneCCan dogs and cats get along well in the same home? People who are thinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. In two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship.However, it isn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression(侵略,好斗)and fightingwere found in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body language is just different. For example, when a cat turns its head away it means aggression, while a dog doing the same means submission(顺从).In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers found a surprising behavior. They are learning how to ta lk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”.What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to become smarter. They can learn to read each other’s body language, sugges ting that the two may have more in common than expected. Once familiar with each other’s body language, cats and dogs can play together, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.The importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets —to peopl e who don’t get along well, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even countries. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.9. The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to“________”.A. earlyB. mostlyC. quicklyD. smoothly10. What is found surprising about cats and dogs?A. They eat and sleep together.B. They watch each other’s behavior.C. They learn to speak each other’s language.D. They know something from each other’s voice.11. It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________.A. have common interestsB. are less different than thoughtC. have a common body languageD. are not so smart as expected12. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A. We should learn to get along well with others.B. We should know more about animals.C. We should live in peace with animals.D. We should learn more body language.DIt is a cold and dry winter morning. When you wake up, you feel that your throat hurts. You begin to sneeze and later you may cough. You must have a cold! Wait a moment. Could it just be a common cold or the flu(流感) that’s been going around?A cold gives you a runny nose and cough. But it’s usually easy to deal with. Some take medicine while others drink herbal tea or chicken soup. Usually you feel better after a week.On the other hand, the flu can be much more dangerous. It usually gives you fever. Sometimes it can cause death. According to an American magazine, the worst flu killed about 50 million people from 1918 to 1919.Don’t worry. If you get a flu vaccine(疫苗), it can stop you from getting the virus(病毒). Flu vaccines work by giving the body a small amount of flu viruses. This causes your body to develop antibodies(抗体). So next time you get the flu, the antibodies should help you.The flu virus changes every few years. Therefore, there are so many types of flu, such as H1N1 and H5N1. The antibodies for one type of flu can’t help us against all types of flu. That’s why we need to get vaccine every year.However, good health habits may also help stop you developing a cold or flu. Washing your hands often helps stop you from getting viruses. It is also important to get regular exercise and eat healthy food. All these can help you strengthen your immune system.13.According to the passage, which is TRUE of the flu?A.It first happened in 1919.B. It usually doesn’t give you fever.C.It is easy to deal with.D.It can kill people sometimes.14. If you get a flu vaccine, .A. it can’t stop you from getting the flu virusB. it won't cause your body to develop antibodiesC. your body will develop antibodiesD. your body will get a large amount of flu viruses15. We need to get a flu vaccine every year because .A. we probably have a cold in winterB. the flu virus changes every few yearsC. the flu is very dangerousD. you don’t need to take any medicine after that第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据对话内容,从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
