Once a traveller came into a village which was suffering from hunger. The village asked him
to leave, for they feared he wanted them to give him food. They told him that there was no food.
The traveler 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 beets-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 be richer, but in fact we make the world, 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 you come forward and share your gifts, you will inspire
others to do the same. The reward is a feast that can feed many.

“The British government will offer￡1,000,000 to anyone who can solve the world’s biggest
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) for oil, producing low-cost food or
curing AIDS/HIV.
When the toughest problem has been decided, the Prime Minister will give away
第6页（共29页）￡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 ship 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 traveled 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 Word 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.
32. The British government promises ￡1,000,000 to any person who
A. can solve the biggest challenge facing the world
B. can find how the next penicillin works on illnesses
C. can think of the most difficult problem in the world
D. can 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 as sea with Harrison’s invention
B. clocks on ships kept good time before Harrison’s invention
第7页（共29页）C. sailors on ships kept 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、阅读表达
阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
In modern society(社会)there is a great deal of argument about competition .Some value it
highly, for they believe that it helpful for social progress and richness. Others say that competition
is bad, and that it sets one person against another and leads to unfriendliness between people.
I have trained many children who held the belief(看法) that their self-worth came from well
they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-
death matters. Sadly, they forget to develop many other human qualities.
However, while some seem to be lost in the strong wish to succeed, others think quite the
opposite. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary(普通)
players, they strongly blame competition, especially youngsters who have suffered under
competitive pressures(压力) from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often
find that they even choose to fail. They seem to choose failure by not trying to win or achieve
success. By not trying, they always have an excuse, “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because
I really didn’t try.” In fact, they are worried that if they had really tried and failed, the failure
would mean that they were worth nothing.
Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves.
Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-worth comes from how well one performs in
comparison(比较) with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. We can only discover a new
meaning in competition as such worries and fear begin to disappear.
Title ： Opinions about competition
Main argument Some believe that competition can push society 36 , while others think
competition 37 unfriendliness between people .
Children’s performances Some children 38 are about performing well and winning.

26．（6分）（2014•常州）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
第16页（共29页）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 beets
﹣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 you come forward and share your
gifts，you will inspire others to do the same．The reward is a feast that can feed many．
26、What does the underlined word“suspiciously”most probably mean？ A
A．doubtfully B．excitedly C．curiously D．fearfully
27、The traveller put a stone into the pot in order to B ．
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
28、The writer mainly wants to tell us that D ．

一个旅行者来到一个饱受饥饿折磨的村庄．村民们叫他离开，因为他们担心他要他们给他食
物．他们告诉他没有食物．旅行者解释说，他不需要任何食物，事实上，他正计划做汤与他们
分享．村民们看着他生了火，用伟大的仪式装满一壶水，他从包里拿出一块石头，把石头扔进
锅里的水中．过了一会儿，他闻到了汤，兴奋地喊道：“这汤真好吃！”当村民们开始表现出
兴趣，他提到好的汤应该加一点点白菜．一位村民拿出一个白菜分享．这一情节重复直到汤
有白菜，胡萝卜，洋葱，和甜菜，一壶汤，可以在村里给每个人都准备好了．这个故事描述了当
没有足够的资源，人类将东西储存．我们不想分享．石头汤的故事让我们明白，在这样做时，
我们常常让自己和别人都有一个盛宴．这个故事的意义远远超出了食物．我们坚持自己的想
法，爱，和能量，思考我们将更加丰富，但事实上，我们使世界，和我们自己更贫穷．旅行者能
够看到村民们拿回来东西，他有能力去激发他们给予．以这种方式，他们创造了一顿大餐，他
们中没有一个人可以单独创造．你喜欢成为村民中的一员吗？如果你来了，分享你的天赋，
你会激励他人做同样的事．奖励是一场盛宴，可以养活许多人．
【解答】26．A．词义猜测题．根据文意和划线词所在的句子可知，一个旅行者来到了一个饱受
饥荒的地方，当地的人害怕他是来要吃的，所以赶他走．但是那个人说他想做点汤和他们分
享，当地人怀疑他的话，不知道他说的是不是真的．suspiciously的意思是就是怀疑的，不相信
地．故选A．
第17页（共29页）27．B．推理判断题．这个旅行者在做汤的时候，往里面扔了一些石头．他假装汤很好喝的样
子，鼓励村民们往里面加各种各样的蔬菜，汤真的变得好喝了．因此他这样做是为了鼓励村
民们把自己的食物拿出来，故选B．
28．D．主旨大意题．这个故事讲述的是，在一个饱受饥荒的地方，村民们都把东西自己保存
起来，不想和别人一起分享．一个旅行者激励大家把食物都拿出来，做出了美味的汤，可以足
够整个村子的村民们食用．因此如果每个人都奉献一点的话，你会有意想不到的收获．故D
选项最符合文意．
【点评】这个故事讲述的是，如果每个人都奉献一点的话，你会有意想不到的收获．这类文章
所涉及的人生道理和感悟也许平常我们在做这类阅读题的时候可能见过，所以注意不要把
自己的日常经验带到考试中．要注意阅读各段的首句和末句，因为往往它就是这段的中心句

32．（8分）（2014•常州）“The British government will offer￡1，000，000to anyone who can
solve the world’s biggest 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） for oil，
producing low cost food or curing AIDS/HIV．When the toughest problem has been decided，the
Prime Minister will give away￡1，000，000to the person who successfully works out the answer．
The competition follows the example of the Longitude Prize started by the government in 1714，
第19页（共29页）which offered￡20，000（ worth￡6，000，000today） 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 300years 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．
32、The British government promises￡1，000，000to any person who A ．
A．can solve the biggest challenge facing the world
B．can find how the next penicillin works on illnesses

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 4and 5 that D ．
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？ C

“英国政府提供1，000，000英镑，给那些能解决世界最大问题的人，不管什么问题都可

的最大的挑战．如发现代替石油的燃料，生产成本低的食物或者治疗艾滋病的药．当这些棘
手的问题已经被解决了，政府将会奖励解决这些问题的人￡1000000奖金．在1714年，英国

地方工作，并能根据太阳判定他们的当地时间．然而，他们需要在参照点找出他们曾前往东

【解答】32．A．细节理解题．根据The British government will offer￡1，000，000 to anyone who
can solve the world’s biggest problem﹣whatever it might be．可知，英国政府提供1，000，000
英镑，给那些能解决世界最大问题的人，不管什么问题都可以．故选A．
33．D．推理判断题．根据The competition follows the example of the Longitude Prize started by
the government in 1714．可知短文中提到了经度奖，这是一个英国政府用来奖励能在海上确
定准确方位的人的奖项，是在1714年设立的．现在300年后，受经度奖的影响，Cameron又重
新设立奖项，奖励那些能解决世界难题的人．故选D．
34．D．推理判断题．根据Paragraphs 4 and 5，可知，在1714年，英国政府提供20，000英镑的
奖金，奖励能在海上准确定位的人．由此我们可见，当时航海业对于英国是多么的重要．故选
D．

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．可
知，第一个经度奖被Harrison获得，文章中并没有提到说他就确定自己一定能得到这个奖项，
故A不对；根据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．可知，这个奖项是给那些能破

36．（5分）（2014•常州）In modern society（社会） there is a great deal of argument about
competition．Some value it highly，for they believe that it is helpful for social progress and
richness．Others say that competition is bad，and that it sets one person against another and leads
to unfriendliness between people．I have trained many children who held the belief（看法） that
their self worth came from how well they performed at tennis and other skills．For them，playing
well and winning are often life and death matters．Sadly，they forget to develop many other
human qualities．However，while some seem to be lost in the strong wish to succeed，others think
quite the opposite．In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary
（普通） players，they strongly blame competition，especially youngsters who have suffered under
第21页（共29页）competitive pressures（压力） from their parents or society．Teaching these young people，I often
find that they even choose to fail．They seem to choose failure by not trying to win or achieve
success．By not trying，they always have an excuse，“I may have lost，but it doesn’t matter
because I really didn’t try．”In fact，they are worried that if they had really tried and failed，the
failure would mean that they were worth nothing．Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true
competitors who try to prove themselves．Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self
worth comes from how well one performs in comparison（比较） with others．Both are afraid of
not being valued．We can only discover a new meaning in competition as such worries and fear

come．

态动词+be+动词的过去分词．
【解答】Must these sentences be taken down．本题考查含有情态动词的被动语态的一般疑问句，
首先根据句子的主语“这些句子“和动词“写“构成被动结构，故用被动语态，这是一个一
般疑问句故将Must提前．
【点评】要求学生们在学习中多练习多总结来记忆被动语态的结构．
第25页（共29页）55．（1.5分）（2014•常州）当我们到达时，会议已经开始10分钟了．
The meeting had been on for ten minutes when we arrive d ．
【考点】翻译填空；一般过去时；过去完成时．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】通过英汉对比，要完成译句需要使用过去完成时及when引导的时间状语从句．
【解答】答案：had been on for ten minutes when we arrived
根据汉语意思，再对照所给的部分英语句子，可知缺少“当我们到达时，已经开始10分钟
了．”根据语境知此处需用过去完成时且与“一段时间”十分钟搭配，故开始不可用非延续
性动词begin而需用其相应的延续性动词短语be on，根据过去完成时结构“had+过去分
词”故应为had been on for ten minites．“当什么时候”为when，故为when引导的一般过去
时的时间状语从句，根据已有的词汇知识，到达为arrive，故为when we arrived．
故答案为：had been on for ten minutes when we arrived
【点评】此题考查过去完成时及延续性动词与非延续性动词的用法和when引导的时间状语
从句．做此类题需要先找出缺失的英语部分，再运用储备的知识写出符合句意的结构及用法．

导的不定式结构或宾语从句的用法．

【考点】一般现在时的被动语态．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】经常看到露西的父亲开车送她上学．
【解答】根据所给汉语提示，主语是Lucy's father，故句子用被动语态，由“经常”可判断用一
般现在时，一般现在时的被动语态：am/is/are+过去分词；see sb．do sth．看到某人做…的被动
形式为sb．be seen to do sth．某人被看到做…，主动形式为省略to的不定式作宾补，被动形式
须将省略的to加上，故填is often seen to drive her to school by car．
【点评】使役动词make/let sb do sth和感官动词see（hear，watch，feel） sb do sth结构变成被动
句，要把省略的to加上．

Dear all，It’s a Chinese tradition to set off firecrackers at the Spring Festival．However，more and
more people have realized that firecrackers are doing more harm than good．
【考点】提纲作文．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】这是一篇材料作文．首先注意审题，严格按照要求去写．内容是就春节时是否燃烧爆
竹写一封倡议书．所以首先要知道倡议书的格式．我们需要在倡议书中把燃放爆竹带来的害
处讲清楚，这是写作的重点，并且呼吁青少年在过节时不要燃放爆竹．题目中已经给我们写
好了开头，点明了主题，即春节燃放爆竹有很多的害处．接下来我们要按照这个内容续下去，
写一写到底有哪些害处，这些内容是需要我们自己来补充的．例如，燃放爆竹可能会污染环
境，可能会影响别人休息，对放爆竹的人来说有危险等等．我们要用正确的英语将这些内容
表达出来．最后结尾时可以对青少年不要燃放爆竹发出呼吁．这样整篇短文的结构就非常合
理，很完整．写作时，注意使用正确的时态和人称．因为重点写燃放爆竹的危害，所以用一般
现在时即可；因为对象是面向同学们，主体是爆竹，人称基本上用第三人称．要多用好的词汇
和句型，使文章表达流畅．
【解答】参考范文：
Dear all，
It’s a Chinese tradition to set off firecrackers at the Spring Festival．However，more and more
people have realized that firecrackers are doing more harm than good．
Setting off the firecrackers harms the environment．First of all，it gives off many harmful gases
which will pollute the air．On the Eve of the Spring Festival，the noise of the firecrackers goes on
all night and makes it impossible for people to fall asleep．The next morning the ground is all
covered with rubbish from firecrackers．Besides，firecrackers can cause fires if people are not
careful enough．Sometimes people will get injured or even killed．
第27页（共29页）Let’s set off fewer or even no firecrackers．In this way，we will not only enjoy the festival more，
but also make a difference to our environment．
【点评】结合给材料作文的特点，作文中首先要注意审题，仔细阅读材料根据要求把内容有条
理有重点的表达出来，不能跑题更不能不按要求写作．例如像这篇文章，作者对过节燃放爆
竹的危害从三个方面进行了阐述，层次分明，要善于使用一些序数词分条来论述；行文时要
注意结构合理，首尾呼应，理由充分合理，表达流畅．尽量减少不该有的诸如词汇，句式，语法
等的错误．
