Once a traveller came into a village which was suffering from hunger. The villagers asked him to leave, for they feared he wanted them to give him food. They told him that there was no food. The traveller explained that he didn’t need any food and that, in fact, he was planning to make a soup to share with them instead. The villagers watched suspiciously as he built a fire and filled a pot with water. With great ceremony(仪式), he pulled a stone from a bag, and dropped the stone into the pot of water. After a moment, he smelt the soup and shouted with excitement, “How delicious the soup is!” As the villagers began to show interest, he mentioned how good the soup would be with just a little cabbage in it. A villager brought out a cabbage to share. This episode(情节) repeated itself until the soup had cabbage, carrots, onions, and beefs—indeed, a full pot of soup that could feed everyone in the village was ready. This story describes when there are not enough resources(资源), humans will store things. We do not want to share. The story of stone soup helps us realize that, in doing so, we often prevent ourselves and everyone else from having a feast(盛宴).The meaning of this story goes far beyond food. We keep to ourselves ideas, love, and energy, thinking we will be richer, but in fact we make the world, and ourselves, poorer. The traveller was able to see that the villagers were holding back, and he had the ability to inspire(激发) them to give. In this way, they created a large meal that none of them could have created alone. Are you like one of the villagers? If

A. teach the villagers to cook a soup with stone B. inspire the villagers to bring out their own food C.prove to the villagers that he didn’t want their food D.help villagers to survive by giving them some food

A. storing things in hard times is human nature B.a good leader is very necessary in hard times C. skills are needed to inspire people to share with others D.sharing is more important than keeping things to oneself

“The British government will offer ￡

problem—whatever it might be,” said Prime Minister(首相) David Cameron at a science conference.In an unusual competition, the Government will ask people to find out the greatest challenge(挑战) today, such as finding a replacement(替代d or curing AIDS/HIV.When the toughest problem has been decided, the Prime Minister will give away ￡1,000,000 to the person who successfully works out the answer.The competition follows the example of the Longitude Prize started by the government in 1714, which offered ￡20,000 (worth ￡6,000,000 today) to anyone who could discover how far east or west ships had sailed. Sailors could work out their location north and south, and were able to decide their local time from the sun. However, they needed to know the time at a reference(参照) point in order to find out how far they had travelled east or west.Many people thought the problem was impossible to solve, but the prize was finally won by John Harrison, an ordinary worker. He did this by designing a clock that kept accurate(准确的) time at sea and made it possible for sailors to work out their location.Almost exactly 300 years on, Mr Cameron will have a group of scientists collect suggestions and draw up a short list of problems facing the world. He will then start a race to solve the most difficult problem.A government officer said, “We want people to think big: what does the world need and how can we achieve that? We are looking for the next penicillin(青霉素), airplane or World Wide Web. Something that is going to really change what we do and how we live our lives—sending us ahead in the global race.”According to Mr Cameron, it is important to “encourage new ideas” and “attract back the best and the brightest” to Britain.

A.solve the biggest challenge facing the world B.find how the next penicillin works on illnesses C.think of the most difficult problem in the world D.help the Prime Minister run his government better ( )33.The Longitude Prize is mentioned mainly to ______________________________. A.explain why the government set up the prize in 1714

B.show John Harrison was a great success as an inventor C.show that the government is very grateful to John Harrison

D.explain what gave Mr Cameron the idea of starting the competition

( )34. We can infer(推断) from Paragraphs 4 and 5 that___________________________ . A. ships no longer get lost at sea with Harrison’s invention B. clocks on ships kept good time before Harrison’s invention C. sailors found it hard to work out their location north and south D. the sailing industry was very important in Britain around the 1700s ( )35. Which of the following is true according to the text? A. John Harrison was sure that he would win the prize. B. The million pound prize will go to a British scientist.

C. The British government pays special attention to the nation’s creativity.

D. A replacement for oil is considered as the toughest problem by the scientists. 四、词汇(每空填一词)12%。
