A water bearer (搬運工) in India had two buckets(水桶). One small bucket had a crack (裂縫) and the other large was perfect. One always came home full and the other was not.

This went on. The water bearer carried one and a half buckets full of water to his owner's house. The poor cracked bucket was ashamed of (羞愧) itself. One day it spoke to the bearer by the river.

"I am ashamed of myself, and I want to say sorry. "

"Why?" asked the bearer. "What are you ashamed of?"

"I have been able to hold only half. Because of my crack, you have to do all this work, and you don't get full value for your efforts," said the bucket.

The bearer felt sorry and said, "As we return to the owner's house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the road." As they went up the hill the cracked bucket noticed the beautiful flowers and this made it feel better.

The bearer said, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side, but not on the other side? I planted flower seeds(種子) on your side, and every day while we took water to the owner's house from the river, you have watered them. "

We are all "cracked buckets". But we shouldn't be ashamed, because we can be the cause of beauty. We can also find our good points.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容判斷正、誤。

(注意:考生將答題卡相應(yīng)位置涂黑。正確的涂"A"、錯誤的涂"B"。)

In recent years, a growing number of Chinese books and movies have been translated into other languages. Many of the translators are young people who are interested in learning Chinese culture.

Anna Holmwood is one of them. Before she translated in Yong’s novel Legends of the Condor Heroes(《射雕英雄傳》), the writer was little known to English readers. One reason for this is that his works were too difficult to translate.

But Anna managed to do it. Attracted by the book’s themes as well as Chinese philosophy(哲學(xué)), Anna hoped to bring it to Englishmen. After five years of work, the translated book came out in 2018. It was printed seven times in several months in the UK. Many people think Anna did a good job of explaining things that are “untranslatable”.

Learning history at the University of Oxford, Anna began to learn Chinese at 21 after a trip in China. She calls herself “a clumsy(笨拙的) student, just like Guo Jing, but with a truthful heart”.

As more young people learn to translate Chinese texts and films, more Chinese stories will become available to the world.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成表格，每空一詞。

If you follow these steps below, you'll know what is worth seeing and doing, so that you can make the most of your time at the museum.

Decide what museum you will visit. There are so many different kinds of museum and you first need to find one that you like. It's easy for you to choose one and start an enjoyable visit!
