A
There 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. 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 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 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.
21. What was the old bucket ashamed of?
A. His past.
B. His aging.
C. His manner.
D. His leaking.
22. What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?
A. dirty
B. dark
C. worn-out
D. ordinary-looking.
23. The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to _________.
A. take pity on the old one
B. laugh at the old one
C. show off its beautiful looks
D. praise the gardener’s kindness
24. 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 had its own function.
D. Because it was taken as a treasure.

Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?
UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.
Nitrogen（氮）and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi（真菌）networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons （神经元）in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.
Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the network s on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.
“We didn't take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move nutrition into the young
trees before dying, but we never give them a chance.” If we could put acro ss the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.
29. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Old Trees Communicate Like Humans
B. Young Trees Are In Need Of Protection
C. Trees Are More Complex Than You Think
D. Trees Contribute To Our Society
30. In Simard's opinion, trees _______ .
A. depend on each other
B. protect their own wealth
C. compete for survival
D. provide support for dying trees
31. We can learn from the passage that _______ .
A. “mother trees” are usually of no use to other trees.
B. Charles Darwin had the same thought as Simard.
C. people know much about the complex “tree societies”.
D. if “mother trees” are cut down, the survival for the entire forest will be affected.
32. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A. how trees grow old
B. how “tree societies” work
C. how forestry industry develops
D. how young trees survive
D
The fourth round of heavy smog to hit Beijing in four weeks has sent more people to the hospital with respiratory（呼吸的）illnesses and led to calls for laws to control the pollution.
Pan Shiyi, a celebrity real estate（房地产）developer said he is planning to propose a Clean Air Act to the local government. As a representative to the Beijing Municipal People's Congress, he started an online survey at 9:20 a.m. Within three hours, more than 25,000 web users, or 99 percent of total respondents, welcomed his proposal on Sina Weibo, China's Twitter.
They have good reasons to stand alongside Pan. The latest round of haze（雾霾）reduced visibility to under 500 meters in many parts of the city. The smog has also led to a great increase in respiratory illnesses, particularly among children and the elderly. Anxious parents and doctors almost all blame the smoggy air for the illnesses. Though most schoolchildren are home for the winter holidays, the bad air can easily move indoors. Besides, ordinary medical masks fail to provide adequate protection, so some people have turned to gas masks and respirators（呼吸器）. The causes of the scary smog are rather mysterious, though experts blame excessive emissions （过多排放）and the mountains around Beijing that trap pollution in winter, unless there is
adequate wind to clear it away. Some critics have pointed fingers at China’s top two oil firms, China National Petroleum Corp and China Petrochemical Cor poration, saying the companies’ outdated production technologies produce large quantities of substandard, high-polluting gas fuel. Meanwhile, concerned Beijingers have moved their brainstorming sessions（会议）to cyberspace. If Pan’s proposal for a Clean Air Act is adopted, netizens say the new law should include items providing for “car-free days” in times of smog, higher standards for vehicle fuel, stricter restrictions on industrial and exhaust gas emissions, and more effective protection for the public.
Beijing is not the only city that has ever lost the blue sky. Five days of thick fog caused thousands of deaths in Britain in December 1952, urging the government to pass the first Clean Air Act in 1956, which introduced smokeless zones and cleaner fuels to reduce pollution. That may provide some experience for Beijing to refer to.
33. Why did Pan Shiyi started an online survey?
A. To investigate the public’s opinions on pollution.
B. To tell people the danger of the smoggy weather.
C. To call on more people to support his proposal.
D. To collect supporting evidences for his proposal.
34. Britain is mentioned in the last paragraph to ______.
A. suggest Beijing should learn from other countries
B. let people know many places have this problem
C. tell people the situation in Britain is worse
D. call on the government to pass Britain’s Clean Air Act
35. What’s the best title for this passage？
A. The Use of Gas masks and Respirators
B. Beijingers Call for Clean Air Act
C. Effective Protection for Blue Sky
D. The Mysterious Causes of the Scary Smog
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分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佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Ways to save time
We all wish we had just a bit more time．Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your
novel, or learn the guitar and so on．
36 But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter．
Ⅰ. Get Out of Bed Earlier
If you normally get up at 7:30 a.m., try getting up at 7:00 a.m. That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish.
37
Ⅱ. Do the Important Tasks First
Once you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones．
38 The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones．
Ⅲ. Reduce Interruptions
If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter．Constant interruptions don't just eat up time, they also break your concentration．
When you've got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail. 39 . Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation．
Ⅳ. 40
A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day．
When you're working, work．If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit．And if you're facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it's easier to deal with．
A．If you have an office door, close it．
B．Take Breaks When Necessary
C．If you work like this, you'll usually save time．
D．I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long．
E．Would you want me to make your day longer?
F．Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start．
G．Stay Focused on Your Work
