[本卷满分120分，考试用时100分钟] 第一部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Uthman Affan was a very rich man who was known for his generosity. In fact he was so generous that people still tell stories about him today, more than a thousand years later. Uthman lived in Medina. It is a very dry part of the world where there isn't a lot of rainfall. One year, the rain didn't come and there was a drought(干旱). People were running out of food. Things got so bad that the people had to eat leaves from the trees in order to survive. You can imagine how happy the people and the merchants(商人) were when they learned that a group of camels(骆驼) were approaching Medina. Each camel carried a lot of food, and the people looked forward to being able to eat good food again. Knowing that the group belonged to Uthman made the people even happier, for they knew he is well­known for generosity.

Even so, the merchants immediately went to Uthman. They wanted to buy the food on the camels from him so they could sell it for two or even three times its usual price at that time. So they were ready to pay any price Uthman asked. But Uthman turned them down. The merchants raised their offers again and again, but each time Uthman refused. Finally the merchants made their best offer: five times the value of the food. Guess what? Uthman had made a decision to give away all the food to the starving people of Medina. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇故事，讲述了Uthman的机智和慷慨，在遭遇干旱，人们都没有食物的时候，把从远方带来的所有粮食都分发给饥饿的人们。 1．What caused the problem in Medina? A．Dry weather. B．Illegal trade. C．Lack of trees.
