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(泄露) 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 dont 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 Im not very useful, but I can only do my best. Im 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.21.

Millers father had moved to the USA from Austria-Hungary, drawn like so many others by the “Great American Dream.” However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early l930s. Millers most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its aggressive(进攻性的) way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with this system. Willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment: if he cant do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end. When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama CriticsCircle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards. Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February 10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway. 33. Why did Arthur Millers father move to the USA?A. He suffered from severe hunger in his home country.B. He was attracted by the “Great American Dream”.C. He hoped to make his son a dramatist. D. His family business failed.34. The play Death of a Salesman _. A. shows the cruelty of the American business world B. discusses the ways to get promoted in a company C. talks about the business career of Arthur Miller D. focuses on the skills in doing business35. What is the text mainly about?A. Arthur Miller and his family. B. The awards Arthur Miller won.C. The hardship Arthur Miller experienced. D. Arthur Miller and his best-known play.第二节 短文七选五（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。（注意:3640 题的答案请写在答题卷上）Tips for cooking on a Tight Schedule From my experience, there are three main reasons why people dont cook more often: ability, money and time, 36 Money is a topic Ill save for another day.
