　　Suddenly he heard heavy steps running up the path.The back door burst open, and he found himself surrounded by policemen.They pushed him into the living room next door, made him sit down, and began asking him questions.

　　“What's your name？”

　　“Where do you live？”

　　“What are you doing here？”

　　(2011·重庆高考)There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care.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 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.

　　51．What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?

　　A．Dirty.

　　B．Dark.

　　C．Worn­out.

　　D．Plain­looking.

　　52．What was the old bucket ashamed of?

　　A．His past.

　　B．His aging.

　　C．His manner.

　　D．His leaking.

　　53．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

　　54．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.

　　答案与解析

　　[语篇解读]'本文是记叙文。通过对园艺工人的两个桶的描述和它们之间的对话，告诉我们：每个事物都有它存在的道理。

　　51．C'词义猜测题。由第二段中最后一句可知“旧桶上有破洞”以及画线词和 old 并列可知C项 worn­out“破旧的，破损的”符合题意。

　　52．D'细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知D项正确。

　　53．A'推理判断题。分析第三段的内容可知 the new bucket 是在炫耀自己盛水的能力，是在嘲笑 the old bucket，而不是同情 the old bucket，也不是在炫耀它的外表美，更不是表扬它们主人的仁慈。

　　54．D'推理判断题。一天，园艺工人听了两个桶之间的对话，让它们在回去时注意路上的情况，它们发现旧桶虽然漏水，但经过的路上都长有野花。由此可推断出园艺工人是想让它们明白：旧桶虽然破旧，但是也有自己的作用。

　　B

　　(2011·四川高考)It's 5：00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟)rings in my ears.I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom.I turn on the light and put on my glasses.The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully.Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity.Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes.My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement.As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired，but a smile is on my face.It's not a smile because the DVD is over，but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.

　　Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate.But I need exercise to get through each day.Some shake heads when they see me run through the town.Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake.They raise their eyebrows，surprised by my “no thank you，” or by my choice to have a salad.Over the years, I have learned it's okay to just say “no.” I shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat.

　　So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5∶00 a．m.? What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment.A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self­confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape.This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right.It's through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.

　　55．Why is there a smile on the author's face in the morning?

　　A．Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.

　　B．Because she finishes her favorite exercise.

　　C．Because she enjoys the interesting DVD.

　　D．Because she feels a sense of achievement.

　　56．Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?

　　A．She doesn't treat others politely.

　　B．She likes to make others surprised.

　　C．Others don't understand what she does.

　　D．Others try to help her by offering her food.

　　57．What does the underlined word “commitment” in the last paragraph mean?

　　A．Good health.

　　B．Firm belief.

　　C．A strong power.

　　D．A regular habit.

　　58．What can we learn about the author from the text?

　　A．She acts in a strange way.

　　B．She wants to look different from others.

　　C．She aims to develop a good body shape.

　　D．She has difficulty getting along with others.

　　答案与解析

　　[语篇解读]'这是一篇记叙文。作者在早晨5点钟就起床，随着音乐的节拍锻炼身体。大汗淋漓的她感受到成功的快乐，并由此联想到节食和锻炼的快乐。

　　55．D'细节理解题。第一段最后说，锻炼接近尾声，我很累，但是我在微笑，这是成功的微笑(a smile of success)，而不是因为DVD播放完了。由此判断选D，作者感到快乐，因为她有了成就感，而不是因为她完成了她最喜欢的锻炼(B)，更不是因为看见家人在熟睡(A)。文章说 Insanity 是她最喜欢的DVD，但在这里与她的快乐没有关系。

　　56．C'推理判断题。第二段说她与别人的喜好不同，说作者习惯了拒绝别人的美食，每当此时，对方总是很惊讶，看见她在城里穿行，别人觉得不可思议地摇头。从这些叙述判断，很多人不理解作者为什么拒绝美食，不理解作者为什么每天从事那么多的锻炼，因此选C。

　　57．B'猜测词义题。最后一段说这个 commitment 是要用一种生活方式改变我的生活，使我减少每天的忧虑，增加我的自信和精力，延长寿命，最重要的是改变我的形体。从语境看，这个 commitment 不是“身体健康(A)、坚强的意志(C)、有规律的生活习惯(D)”，而是“坚定的信念(B)”。

　　(2017·潍坊三县联考)After moving to the United States, immigrant groups trying to fit in tend to choose high calorie fatty foods in an attempt to appear more American, a new study finds. That's one reason why immigrants

　　approach US levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to America.

　　The researchers also did an experiment that measured whether or not the threat

　　of appearing un－American influenced respondents'

　　food choices.

　　After being

　　questioned about their ability to speak English, 75 percent of Asian－Americans

　　identified a typical American food as their favourite.

　　Only 25 percent of

　　Asian－Americans who had not been asked if they spoke English did the same.

　　When their American identity was called into question during a follow－up study,

　　Asian－American participants also tended to choose typical American dishes, such as

　　hamburgers and cheese sandwiches. In that experiment, 55 Asian－Americans were asked

　　to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant. Some participants were

　　told that only Americans could participate in the study. Those who

　　chose the more

　　typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calories, including 12 grams

　　of fat and 7 grams of saturated fat (饱和脂肪)．

　　“People who feel like they need to prove they belong to a culture will change

　　their habits in an attempt to fit in.”said Sauna Cheryan, an author of the study

　　and assistant professor of psychology at the University of Washington.“If

　　immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over healthier

　　traditional foods across their lives, this process of fitting in could lead to poorer

　　health.” Cheryan added.

　　Social pressures, the study concluded, are at the heart of the problem. “In

　　American society today, being American is associated with being white. Americans,

　　who don't fit this image even if they were born here and speak English, feel that

　　pressure to prove that they're American. ” said Cheryan.

　　The global energy crisis is approaching.What can we do? Here are some steps you can take.

　　Cooling puts the greatest stress on your summer energy bill and the power grid(电网)．Just as a tune­up for your car can improve your gas mileage, a yearly tune­up of your heating and cooling system can improve efficiency and comfort.Clean or replace filter monthly or as needed.

　　For central air conditioning systems and room air conditioners, look for the ENERGY STAR, the federal government's symbol for energy efficiency.For central air, purchase the system with the highest possible Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratia.(SEER)

　　Use energy­efficient ceiling fans either alone or with air conditioning.Ceiling fans do a great job of circulating air.When used with air conditioning, fans allow you to raise the thermostat(恒温器) and cut costs.Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms, so before you leave, turn off the ceiling fan.

　　Let a programmable thermostat “remember for you” to automatically adjust the indoor climate with your daily and weekend patterns to reduce cooling bills by up to 10 percent.You can come home to a comfortable house without wasting energy and creating pollution all day while you are at work.

　　Try to make your home airtight enough to increase your comfort, make your home quieter and cleaner and reduce your cooling costs up to 20 percent.

　　Cut your air conditioning load, and reduce pollution by planting leafy trees around your home and fixing reflective bricks on your roof.

　　Close blinds or shades on south­and west­facing windows during the day, or fix shading equipment to avoid heat build­up.

　　Turn off everything not in use: lights, TVs, computers.And use fluorescent bulbs(荧光灯), which provide bright, warm light while using at least two­thirds less energy, producing 70 percent less heat and lasting up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs(白炽灯)．

　　Drive the car that gets better gas mileage whenever possible if you own more than one vehicle.If you drive 12,500 miles a year, switching 10 percent of your trips from a car that gets 20 miles per gallon to one that gets 30 mpg will save you more than $65 per year.

　　Carpool.The average U．S.commuter(乘车上班族) could save about $260 a year by sharing cars twice a week with two other people in a car that gets 20.1 mpg—assuming the three passengers share the cost of gas.

　　63．According to the passage, the thermostat is used to __________.

　　A．make rooms quieter

　　B．control room temperature

　　C．turn off the air conditioner

　　D．reduce room air pollution

　　64．We can conclude from the passage that the author probably discourages __________.

　　A．planting leafy trees around your home

　　B．turning off the ceiling fan before you leave your house

　　C．keeping your south­facing windows open during the day

　　D．using fluorescent bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs

　　65．According to the passage，you can save fuel by __________.
