Then he hid behind a huge tree and watched. The first person down the street was a milkman with his cart(小车). He crashed into the stone and the milk spread all over the ground. “What fool put this stone here?” he shouted. He picked himself up and angrily went away. After a while, a group of women came along, each balancing a pot of water on her head. One woman tripped over(绊倒) the stone and her water pot went crashing to ground. She picked herself up and walked away in tears. Neither she or her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road. The king watched all day as many people complained about the stone, but he found nobody was willing to move it. The king wondered, “ Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their neighbors from harm?” Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. She was the daughter of a local farmer. She had been working all day and was very tired. But when she saw the stone, she said to herself, “This stone is danger to anyone who comes down the road after dark. I’ll move it out of the way.” After a great deal of effort, the girl finally succeeded in moving the stone to the side of the road. Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold coins where the stone had been! Just then, the king stepped out from behind the tree. “Oh sir,” the girl said, “Is this gold yours? If not, we surely must find the owner, for he will certainly miss it.” The king said, my dear, the gold is mine, but now the gold is yours, because you are the only person who has learnt the lesson I want to teach my people.

The 63-year-old swimmer has been swimming in them since he was a young boy. Although he holds five world records in marathon swimming, he is best known for using his sport to warn people of water pollution. After years of swimming in dirty water, he decided he had to do something. Strel says he began to swim to develop peace, friendship and clean water. He hopes to see environmental laws strengthened and put into practice. To achieve his goals, he has swum in many of the world’s most famous rivers. In 2000, he swam in Europe’s second longest river, the Danube. He swam 1, 866 miles in 58 days and set a world record for long distance(距离) swimming. The Danube is heavily polluted by industrial waste. In 2002, Strel swam in the Mississippi River and covered a distance of 2, 360 miles in 68 days. The Mississippi is one of the most polluted rivers in the United States. It is so polluted that it is called the dead zone(地带). Strel became so sick by the end of his Mississippi swim that he had to stay in hospital for three days. In 2007, he swam 3, 274 miles of the Amazon River in 66 days. Most of the pollution in the Amazon comes from poisonous materials. He lost 42 pounds and was so weak that he couldn’t feed himself. Strel plans to keep on swimming for peace, friendship and clean water, but he would prefer to do it in the ocean(海洋). Sadly, the world’s rivers are simply too dirty. “Everyone would like to go swimming in clean water,” says Strel. He dreams of a day when that will be possible for people around the world. 1. Is Strel good at swimming? ____________________________________________________________ 2. How many world records in marathon swimming does Strel hold? _____________________________________________________________ 3. How far did Strel swim in the Danube in 2000? ____________________________________________________________ 4.

He picked himself up and angrily went away.”可知送牛奶的人很生气，选 A。 2. 答案：C 解析：根据语境“难道这个村子里没有人觉得有责任让他们的邻居免受伤害吗”，responsibility 是“责任”的意思，选 C。 3. 答案：B 解析：根据“After a great deal of effort, the girl finally succeeded in moving the stone to the side of the road.”可知对女孩来说移动石头不容易，B 正确；A 选项“所有的人都抱怨石头”错误，女孩没有抱怨；C 选项“这群女人中的一个试图移动石头”错误，她们都没有移动石头；D 选项“女孩看到石头下面的金币很兴奋”错误，她是很惊讶且想找到失主。所以选 B。 4. 答案：C 解析：文章围绕国王在路中间放的石头展开，通过不同人对石头的态度反映出一些问题，“路上的一块石头”作为标题最合适，选 C。 四、词汇运用 1. 答案：Africa 2. 答案：dollars 3. 答案：opposite 4. 答案：musicals 5. 答案：direct 6. 答案：opposite 7. 答案：international 8. 答案：coast 五、翻译句子 1. 答案：has been on for several hours; turn it off 2. 答案：is made up of 3. 答案：an island country with a long history 4. 答案：has always been famous for 5. 答案：is made up of 6. 答案：an island country with a long history 7. 答案：has always been famous for 六、阅读文章，回答问题 1. 答案：Yes, he is. 解析：根据“The 63-year-old swimmer has been swimming in them since he was a young boy.
