Once the pond was dug, he made an announcement to his ministers, saying that one person from each family was required to bring a glass of milk during the night and pour it into the pond. _2_After receiving the order, everyone said “yes” and then went home. One of the ministers was preparing to take the milk during the night. _3_ Since everyone would bring milk, he would just take a glass of water instead and pour it into the pond. It would be so dark that no one else would discover it. So he quickly went out, poured the water into the pond and came back home, feeling rather satisfied with what he did. _4_ But much to their surprise, they saw the pond only filled with clear water! What had happened was that everyone was thinking just like the other person：“I dont have to put milk into the pond, and someone else will do it.” So when it comes to helping poor people, you shouldnt think that others will take care of it. _5_ If you dont do it, no one else will do it. Whatever you do, be true to your words, and that will make a big difference.ARather, it starts with you.BAll of a sudden, an idea occurred to him.CThe king had never spent a sleepless night.DHe couldnt wait to see what would happen.ESo the pond would be full of milk by the morning.FHe had his own way to find out whether his ministers were honest.GThe next morning, the king came to visit the pond with his ministers.语篇解读：本文是记叙文。国王命令在夜间每一个大臣都要把一杯牛奶倒进刚挖好的一个池塘里。结果每一个人都想着别人倒进去的是牛奶，自己倒一杯清水就行了。第二天，国王和大臣们来到池塘边，他们看到的却是一池塘的清水。1选F第一段是故事的开头，再结合下文内容，国王命令他的大臣们每人带一杯牛奶，在夜里倒入新挖的池塘里。他想通过这件事来检验那些人是否诚实。由此可知此处选F。这是一个承上启下的句子。2选E国王让每一个大臣在夜里把一杯牛奶倒进池塘，这样第二天一大早他就能看到池塘里充满牛奶。本句与前一句存在因果关系，故此处选E。3选B下句点明了他想到的主意：既然别人都要带牛奶去，他就带一杯清水倒进池塘里。故此处选B。4选G结合语境和下文内容“令他们非常吃惊的是，他们看到池塘里满是清水”可知此处选G，表示“第二天国王和大臣们来到池塘边”。5选A结合语境和选项可知此处选A。从自己做起。你不做，别人也不会做。第二节 完型填空 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。My dog Chi Chi always has a smile on her face.
