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 didnt 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 beetsindeed, 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.18 . （小题1）What does the underlined word “suspiciously” most probably mean?AdoubtfullyBexcitedlyCcuriouslyDfearfully19 . （小题2）The traveller put a stone into the pot in order to .Ateach the villagers to cook a soup with stoneBinspire the villagers to bring out their own foodCprove to the villagers that he didnt want their foodDhelp villagers to survive by giving them some food20 . （小题3）The writer mainly wants to tell us that .Astoring things in hard times is human natureBa good leader is very necessary in hard timesCskills are needed to inspire people to share with othersDsharing is more important than keeping things to oneself三、用单词的正确形式完成短文阅读短文，从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使短文通顺，意思完整。每空限填一词，每词限用一次，方框中有两个词是多余的。Happy weekend excited arrive with until run express because I leave prepareDarcy became unhappy after he moved to the new house in town with us.

Cites like Beijing do not often experience big floods -it was called a once-in-a-hundred-year event-and the people in the cities were unprepared when the disaster came.Climate change seems to be making “unlikely”weather events such as floods more common and it only makes sense to prepare ourselves for when disaster strikes. In the case of floods, just learning to swim wont help you much. The water flows so fast and is so filled with floating debris（碎片）that even Olympic gold medal winner Ye Shiwen would have troubles keeping her head above water.The first thing you should do is to take the warnings of heavy rains or typhoons seriously. You should stay home, listen to the news reports and wait for the waters to subside（回落）. If you live at ground level, move to a higher level. You should also call people to tell them you are safe so that they dont risk their lives searching for you. Its also a good idea to have a “grab”bag (an emergency bag)”ready at home filled with power bars（能量棒）,a flashlight and bottles of water. In a flood , the electricity is often knocked out and drinking water-becomes contaminated（被污染的）.The most important thing is to stay calm and be patient. Its the best way of keeping your head above water.41 . The people in Beijing and Tianjin got prepared when big floods came, didnt they?_.42 . Why would Ye Shiwen even have trouble saving herself if a flood comes?_.43 . Is it important to take the warnings of heavy rains or typhoons seriously or not?_.44 .
