問題詳情：

    There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers，he used two buckets(水桶) 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(慚愧的)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.

【分析】

這是一篇記敍文。短文給我們講述了一個寓言故事，告訴我們每個人都是有自己的用處的。

19．細節理解題。由第二段“The old bucket felt very ashamed(慚愧的)because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds，much water had leaked(滲漏)along the path.”可知，舊水桶身上有很多小洞，等提着這個水桶到花圃時，水桶裏的水大多都已經灑了一路，這讓它非常自卑。所以舊水桶對漏水感到自卑。故選D項。

20．詞義猜測題。由第一段“The other was a very old and dilapidated one，which had seen many years of service，but was now past its best.”可知，另外一個已經破舊不堪了，用了很多年，看起來已經不太能用了。所以通過上下文語境可以判斷出，下劃線的“dilapidated”可能是worn out“破舊的”的意思。故選C項。

21．推理判斷題。由第三段“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!”可知， 有時候新水桶會説，“看我多厲害，花圃有我每天給它澆水多好，我不知道他為什麼還要用你，你簡直是浪費空間。”所以通過新水桶所説的話可以判斷出，新水桶與舊水桶交談主要是為了嘲笑舊水桶。故選B項。

22．推理判斷題。由最後段“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**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.可知，兩隻水桶都這麼做了。沿着回去的路，他們發現，園丁拎着新水桶的那一邊的路上，地上都是光**的，而拎着就水桶的那一邊，卻有一排令人欣喜的野花，鋪滿了花圃的整條小路。所以這説明這隻破水桶也有作用和價值，澆灌了它那一邊的花草。故判斷出為什麼那個舊水桶還被園丁使用着是因為它有自己的優勢。故選C項。

【點睛】

根據文章中人物所説的話的內容是解決推理判斷題的重要方法，因為通過所説的內容，我們可以判斷出，作者所要想表達的觀點是積極的還是消極的，是中立的還是支持或者否定某一方，對事情是關心的還是冷漠的。是在提出建議還是在提出具體的解決措施。

由第三段“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!”可知， 有時候新水桶會説，“看我多厲害，花圃有我每天給它澆水多好，我不知道他為什麼還要用你，你簡直是浪費空間。”所以通過新水桶所説的話可以判斷出，新水桶與舊水桶交談主要是為了嘲笑舊水桶。故小題3選B項。
