1．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 jye.aiself.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（滲漏） along the path.
Sometimes the new bucket would say，"See how capable I am!How good it is that the gardener has me water the flowers every day!I don't know why he still uses 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，and 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.

2．Wheat is a main source of food for people across the planet，accounting for a fifth of the calories consumed globally.But as a result of climate change，scientists believe most parts of the world where the crop is grown will be hit by water shortages by the end of the century.And the US could be among the countries worst affected，the authors of the research published in the journal Science Advances told Newsweek.
If climate change isn't dealt with，by the year 2100，60 percent of areas that grow wheat will be hit by water scarcity—up from the current level of 15 percent，according to the international team of scientists.
Co-authors Miroslav Trnka and Song Feng told Newsweek that in their previous research，they had shown climate change may cause soil to become less moist（濕潤的）across most mainland US states，including those where wheat is grown.As a result，the US could be "one of the top most affected wheat producers" in terms of the increase in areas affected by severe droughts，they said in a joint statement.
Worryingly，existing research has predicted a 4.0 to 6.5 percent drop in global wheat production per 1 degree Celsius of warming if climate change isn't eased.And it's unlikely that wheat can be replaced if water becomes scarce，as it's not as thirsty as other crops and can do without water for a relatively long period of time.
"If multiple regions are affected by drought at the same time，it might be difficult to meet the demand even if the trade routes stay open and are not restricted by governmental measures，" warned Feng and Trnka.However，he said，"Studies show that if we continuously improve the sustainability and technologies in the coming decades and allow for international trade，we may overcome the negative impacts of climate change."
（1）How will climate change hurt wheat production？
A．By lowering the temperature.
B．By reducing the water supply.
C．By polluting the soil.
D．By flooding the field.
（2）What can we learn from Paragraph 3？
A．Wheat production caused droughts in most mainland US states.
B．The United States is the biggest wheat producer in the world.
C．The United States will suffer a lot from climate change.
D．Climate change is closely watched by American scientists.
（3）Why is wheat unlikely to be replaced by other crops in a drought？
A．It is the primary food for most countries.
B．It is not influenced by global warming.
C．It is widely grown in most countries.
D．It needs less water than other crops.
（4）In which section of a newspaper may this text appear？
A．Health.
B．Science.
C．Education.
D．Entertainment.組卷：5引用：1難度：0.5 -

Growing up on a small farm，I lived a life that I took for granted.My father worked in the city as a plumber（水暖工）.He was not highly educated，but he was smart，looking at problems in an engineer's way.He was a man made of leather，brass and chewing tobacco who tried to teach my brother and me useful things，including respect.He also had a temper and was strict with us，for he would scold us when we made some careless mistakes.Sometimes，my father seemed like a distant enemy to me and I didn't like him very much.
One day I came home from primary school and his car was already there.Once inside，I was told by my mother that he didn't feel well.His back hurt.My father never missed work；in fact，when he came home，he went to the barn to work even more.I remember looking at him secretly around the corner as he lay on his bed in the middle of the day.
Later，my mother told me he got multiple myeloma（多發(fā)性骨髓瘤），a type of cancer.As the cancer grows，the person will shrink because the disease destroys the body's energy and the abnormal antibodies cause problems for other cells and tissue.Bones eventually look like Swiss cheese，and when they break，they may never heal.But I didn't realize that my father's time was rather limited and just treated him the same way I used to.
For the last year of my father's life，his entire day consisted of rising from his hospital bed in the living room and walking to his chair to sit and think.He was predictably in that chair when I came home one day during the ninth grade.I do not remember where my mother and brother were，but the two of us were alone.
Paragraph 1：
He asked me to sit down and what he told me still moves me these decades later._________.
Paragraph 2：
At that moment，I realized that he was doing more than telling._________.組卷：5引用：1難度：0.2
