Question

【题目】A poor traveler arrived in a small village. He had no food or money and had not eaten anything in days. The one thing he did have was a cooking pot.

He built a small cooking fire, placed his pot on it, and poured in some water. When a few villagers asked what he was doing, he replied that he was making stone soup, which was an ancient tasty recipe(食谱). He then dropped in a smooth, round stone into the pot.

As the soup warmed, the traveler told the villagers stories of his travels and the exciting things he'd seen. He tasted his soup and said it was coming along nicely, but a bit of salt would bring out the flavor(风味). One curious villager went into her home and returned with some salt for the soup.

A few more villagers walking by stopped to see what was going on when they heard the traveler speaking. The traveler told more stories and said that a couple of carrots or onions would be a nice addition to the already delicious soup. So, another villager said he could give a few carrots. Finally, the soup was ready and everyone enjoyed the tasty meal prepared for them from just a pot.

【解析】

本文是一个小故事。讲述一个贫穷的旅行者来到了一个小村庄。他没有食物或钱，几天没吃东西了。他只有一只锅。他生了火，把锅放在上面，然后倒了一些水。他说他正在做石汤，这是一个古老的美味食谱。然后他把一块光滑的圆石掉进锅里。旅行者向村民们讲述了他旅行的故事和他所看到的激动人心的事情。他尝了尝汤，说汤很好喝，不过加一点盐就会有味道。一个村民拿了一些盐回来做汤。又说放几根胡萝卜或洋葱会更好喝。另一个村民给他一些胡萝卜。最后，汤做好了，每个人都很喜欢吃用这口锅为他们准备的美味佳肴。

【1】句意：这个可怜的旅行者只有一块大石头。考查细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句The one thing he did have was a cooking pot.（他只有一样东西，那就是一只锅。）可知此句错误，答案是B。

【2】句意：旅行者把一块圆石放进锅里做石汤。考查细节理解题。根据第二段第二和三句When a few villagers asked what he was doing, he replied that he was making stone soup, which was an ancient tasty recipe(食谱). He then dropped in a smooth, round stone into the pot.（当几个村民问他正在做什么，他回答说他正在做石汤，这是一个古老的美味食谱。然后他把一块光滑的圆石掉进锅里。）可知此句是正确的，答案是A。

【3】句意：第一个好奇的村民回家后拿了一些胡萝卜来喝汤。考查细节理解题。根据第三段第3句One curious villager went into her home and returned with some salt for the soup.（一个好奇的村民走进她的家，拿了一些盐回来做汤。）可知“第一个好奇的村民回家后拿了一些盐”，此句错误，答案是B。

【4】句意：旅行者得到了汤，却什么也没付。考查细节理解题。根据短文叙述可知第一个村民拿了一些盐回来做汤，另一个村民说他可以给一些胡萝卜。可知“旅行者得到了汤，却什么也没付。”故此句是正确的，答案是A。

【5】句意：从这个故事中，我们可以了解到这个人非常聪明。考查细节理解题。这个人很贫穷。他没有食物或钱，几天没吃东西了。他只有个锅。这个人做石头汤，引来村名观看，说这是古老美味食谱。他讲述故事和旅行见闻，他尝了尝汤，说汤很好喝，不过加一点盐、一些胡萝卜等就会更好喝。村民给他拿盐、胡萝卜等。可知这个人非常聪明。故答案是A。
