第一节（共15小题;每小题2分，共30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

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 carr
y 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 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 (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.

56. What does the underlined word "dilapidated" probably mean?

A. dirty B. dark C. worn-out D. plain-looking.

57. What was the old bucket ashamed of?

A. His past. B. His aging. C. His manner. D. His leaking.

58. 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

59. Why was the old bucket still
