    There is such a story:

A few years ago, there were two water tanks in a hotel. One was gorgeous(华丽无比) and the other was ordinary. When passers-by saw these two tanks, they always praised the former and then persuaded the hotel owner to the latter was dropped, but the wise boss just smiled.

One day, the hotel owner bought three tropical fish from other places and prepared to put them in beautiful ceramic tanks. "No, don't put them in." The tank yelled, "Will stain me!" Let me take care of them! "The other tank saw this situation and quickly took the job to himself. Alas, the boss shook his head helplessly and put the colorful tropical fish in the other tank.

"Huh, what's so great about a few tropical fish!" The gorgeous ceramic tank gave a scornful glance at another ordinary water tank, and then tidy up his clothes again.

The next day, a few children came to the store and praised the glorious water tank as usual, but when they were detailed, they found that the luxurious water tank was empty and the other  was filled with colorful tropical fish. It goes without saying that the children rushed to the tank  that was not amazing and admired the tropical fish that embellished it. "The stinky tank with a humble status, I will definitely surpass you!"

Day after day, year after year. Only the beautiful water tank is still empty-it misses opportunities again and again, and the other one has become the focus of attention-in its body, sometimes there are pots of exotic flowers, sometimes precious fish species, sometimes precious pebbles ... Many old hotel guests are now heading straight for their unreserved water tank, the empty water tank. Forgotten.

Ten years later, the owner of the hotel was about to move. When he cleaned the room, he found the empty water tank. Its entire body was full of "wrinkles(皱纹)." It was much inferior(逊色 ) to the other one. He said earnestly to it, "You are a water tank, but your stomach is empty without even a drop of water. It is flashy, how can you compare with others? So, you must be full, no matter how you live or study. "" I don't believe it ... "The gorgeous water tank died without repentance, because there was no real thing in the belly, the whole body broke in the last moan ...

Although the gorgeous water tank is broken, its "soul" is still there. It is looking for a person with an empty mind to be its substitute. Maybe, the next one is you ...

1.D 2.B 3.C 4.D 【解析】 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了酒店里有两个鱼缸。一个是华丽无比,另一个是普通的。当路人看到这两个鱼缸时,他们总是称赞前者,然后说服酒店老板放弃后者,但老板没有这样做。后来老板带来几条美丽的热带鱼,准备放在漂亮的鱼缸里,但是它不同意,后来老板把热带鱼放在了普通的鱼缸里。慢慢地,人们更多地关注那个被热带鱼添彩的普通鱼缸,而华丽的鱼缸被人们渐渐遗忘。这个故事告诫我们“学习和生活都不能空洞和浮华”。 1.细节理解题。根据“Many old hotel guests are now heading straight for their unreserved water tank, the empty water tank. Forgotten.”可知,没有了几条热带鱼的陪衬,原来美丽的鱼缸空了,也被人遗忘了。故选D。 2.词句猜测题。根据第五段“It goes without saying that the children rushed to the tank that was not amazing and admired the tropical fish that embellished it.”不用说,孩子们冲到这个并不神奇的鱼缸前,欣赏着为它添彩的热带鱼。句尾的it指代平常的鱼缸,热带鱼为鱼缸添彩,美化鱼缸。Defame动词,诽谤;Beautify动词,美化;Energize动词,激励;To make amazing使惊人。故选B。 3.细节理解题。根据“because there was no real thing in the belly, the whole body broke in the last moan ...”因为肚子里没有东西,所以在最后一声呻吟中,整个身体都碎了。故可知美丽的鱼缸是因为自己的固执和空虚而导致自己破碎了。故选C。 4.主旨大意题。根据“It is looking for a person with an empty mind to be its substitute.”它在寻找一个思想空虚的人来代替它。可知本文告诫我们“学习和生活都不能空洞和浮华”。故选D。
