The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the businessman’s beautiful daughter. So he proposed a bargain. The moneylender told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty bag. The girl would then have to pick one pebble from the bag. If she picked the black pebble, she would become the moneylender’s wife and he would forgo her father’s debt. If she picked the white pebble, she need not marry him and her father’s debt would still be forgiven. But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail. They were standing on a pebble-strewn path. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. The sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag. He then asked the girl to pick a pebble from the bag. No doubt she was caught in a dilemma. What would you have done if you were the girl? Careful analysis would produce three possibilities: 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble. 2. The girl should know that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose the money-lender as a cheat. 3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order to save her father from his debt and imprisonment. The above story is used with the hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral (横向的)and logical thinking. Read on… The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles. “Oh, how clumsy of me!” she said. “But never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked.” Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had picked the white one. And since the moneylender dared not admit his dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an extremely advantageous one. 55. The underlined word “forgo” in paragraph 2 may mean ____________. A. pay off B. run out C. take over D. give up 56. Which of the following indicates lateral thinking? A. The girl refused to take a pebble and fled at once. B. The girl exposed the cheat and found another way. C. The girl picked one pebbles and made it disappear. D. The girl picked a black pebble and accepted the result. 57. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________. A. The girl dropped the pebble onto the path on purpose B. The girl dropped the pebble onto the path by accident C. The girl didn’t know there were two black pebbles in the bag D. The girl replaced a black pebble in the bag 58. What lesson can we learn from the story? A. Keeping calm when facing a difficult situation. B. Thinking about a complicated problem in another way. C. Thinking twice before making a final choice. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 D. Coming up with a clever answer is easy. 【参考答案】55-58DCAB 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 【江西省上饶市 2014 高考英语二模试题】A People People is America's No． 1 magazine about fascinating people． It's a guide to who and what's hot in the arts, science, business, politics, television, movies, books, music and sports． It is published weekly． Publisher: The Time Inc． Magazine Company Cover Price: $ 211．47 Our Price: $ 117．00 Issues:53 issues/12 months Lucky Lucky is the shopping magazine with the best buys,and the fashion tips you'll need before you hit the stores． What makes Lucky really special is that it gets you the information you need before anyone else has it． Publisher: Conde Nast Publications Inc． Cover Price: $ 35．40 Our Price: $ 15． 00 Issues:12 issues/12 months Parents The most trusted magazine for parents who want to raise smart, loving and self-confident children． Each issue has age-specific child-development guidance, advice on your child's health and safety, an the best ways to encourage your child's learning． Publisher : Meredith Corporation Cover Price: $ 42． 00 Our Price: $ 9． 97 Issues:12 issues/12 months Entertainment 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 This magazine covers movies , television , music , Broadway stage productions , books , and popular culture． Unlike celebrity-focused magazines like People,its main concentration is on entertainment media and reviews． It's intended for a more general audience． Publisher: The Time Inc． Magazine Company Cover Price: $ 199． 50 Our Price: $ 38． 95 Issues:57 issues/12 months 56．Which of the following targets common readers?

The first China Golden Rice Tasting Event was held at Huazhong Agricultural University in Wuhan, Hubei province, sparking another round in the nationwide debate about the safety of GM crops, often called "Frankenfood" by opponents. Similar events have been held in more than 28 cities since May, the university said. Both the pro and anti camps have posted conflicting comments on the Internet, with each providing evidence to back up their beliefs, but the exchanges are becoming increasingly bitter. Jiang Tao, a senior engineer at the Center for Agricultural Resources Research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who is in favor of GM foods, was annoyed about what he called "amateurs" spreading rumors. "Just look at the people who are opposed to GM foods; can you find anyone from a related field in the scientific community?" he asked. Jiang also accused the anti-GM lobby of repeatedly using outdated or inaccurate data to support an "incorrect" stance. Chen Yunfa, an independent researcher into the Yangtze River Delta economy, recently wrote a commentary on the Internet news portal Eastday in which he criticized the actions of the 61 scientists, saying they had gone "beyond their proper duty". He suggested that large multinational corporations might be behind the letter and similar incidents, prompted by a desire to freeze China's patent hybrid rice technology out of the market. To support his contentions, Chen said that GM rice, first produced by scientists in the US, still hasn't gained official approval from the US government. However, the US authorities have actually granted licenses to six varieties of GM rice. The commercial planting of two varieties - anti-herbicide (BAR) transgenic rice LL RICE 06 and LL RICE 62 - produced by the French pharmaceutical company Sanofi-Aventis, was approved in 1999 and a license for cultivation for edible use was granted in 2000. The public outcry for GM labeling and boycotting has hindered the advancement of the technology. Concern about GM foods has been fueled by studies like the one published by French professor Gilles-Eric Séralini in September 2012. Séralini claimed that his research involving rats proved that the GM corn fed to them caused tumor growth. Furthermore, there is growing concern that the pesticides(杀虫剂) used on GMOs（转基因作物）are contributing to the decline of the world’s honey bee population, leading to honey bee deaths by infecting the brains of the insects with toxins. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 Therefore, some experts recommend the labeling of non-GM foods so that consumers can make that decision without a regulatory burden being placed on GMOs. However, we should be cautious about anything that may risk humans’ life. Only time will tell. 59. Why did more than 300 people enjoy porridge made from genetically modified food? A. To show evidence that GM products are dangerous. B. To support that the first China Golden Rice Tasting is safe. C. To rid public of fears and worries about the safety of GM foods. D. To draw public’s attention to nationwide planting of GM products. 60. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Those who are for GM products and those who are against keep arguing fiercely by holding conferences. B. People are failing to show evidence to support their pros and cons, although they hold a firm belief of their own. C. Some people think those against GM foods have a good knowledge of GM technology and are spreading rumors. D. GM food may be just a way for some multinational corporations to drive China’s patent hybrid rice out of the market. 61. What can we infer from the second paragraph from bottom? A. The public advocated that GM products should be labeled clearly. B. Séralini claimed that his research proved the GM corn caused rats to grow faster. C. Many honey bees have died because they were fed with GM corn. D. There should be some restrictions on GM products’ selling. 62. What is the writer’s attitude towards GM products? A. Supportive. B. Suspicious. C. Indifferent. D. Critical. 【参考答案】59-62 CDAB
