19．（10分）
The king and the rice
A long time ago，there was a king in India. The king's favourite game was chess.（A）
One day，a wise（B） old man came to the palace and the king challenged him to a game. The king promised the old man，"You can have any prize if you win the game." （C）
The old man said，"If I win the game，I'd like one grain of rice for the first square of the chessboard，two for the second，four for the third，and then double the amount for each of the rest of squares.""Is that all？"asked the king."Wouldn't you like gold or silver instead？"
"No，just rice，"replied the old man.
The king and the old man played the game for a long time.Finally，the old man won.So the king ordered his men to collect a bag of rice. He（D） put one grain on the first square，two on the second，and so on. The king quickly realized the problem—even with all the rice in the country，he would still not have enough rice to put on all the squares.（E）

（1）将划线部分A改写为 　The king liked chess best.　.
（2）写出（B） wise 的两个同义词 　clever　　smart　
（3）把划线句子（C）引号去掉改写句子为：
The king promised the old man that 　he could　 have any prize if 　he won　the game.（共填四个词）
（4）划线部分（D）单词指代的是 　The king　
（5）翻译划线句子（E） 　国王很快意识到问题，即便拿出国家所有的米，他仍然没有足够的大米放满所有的格子。　.
【分析】本文主要讲了很久以前一位印度国王和一位老人下象棋的故事，老人赢得了比赛，他要求在棋盘上放入米粒，最后国王发现整个国家没有足够的米粒放入棋盘。
【解答】（1）句子改写题。根据 The king's favourite game was chess.（国王最喜欢的游戏是国际象棋。）可知，国王最喜欢象棋。"国王"The king；"喜欢"like，根据was可知，该句为一般过去时态，所以动词用过去式形式，所以用liked；"象棋"chess；"最"best。故填The king liked chess best.
（2）同义词题。根据One day，a wise（B） old man came to the palace and the king challenged him to a game.（一天，一位聪明的老人来到王宫，国王向他挑战，要和他比赛。）结合后文可知，此处是指聪明的老人，所以wise是"聪明的"意思。clever"聪明的"；smart"聪明的"。故填clever；smart。
（3）句子改写题。根据The king promised the old man，"You can have any prize if you win the game." （国王承诺老人，"如果你赢了这场比赛，你可以得到任何奖品."）可知，去掉引号，要改为有that引导的宾语从句，根据句意可知，是承诺老人，所以此处的You应改为he；主句是一般过去时态，从句也应用一般过去时态，所以can用过去式could，win用过去式won。故填he could；he won。
（4）代词指代题。根据前句So the king ordered his men to collect a bag of rice.（于是国王命令他的手下收集一袋大米。）可知，此处的He指代前文的"The king"。故填The king。
（5）英译汉题。The king"国王"；quickly realized "很快意识到"；problem"问题"；all the rice"所有的米"；country"国家"；even "即使"；still"仍然"；have"有"；enough rice"足够的米"；put on"穿上，增加"，此处指"放满"；squares"格子"。故填：国王很快意识到问题，即便拿出国家所有的米，他仍然没有足够的大米放满所有的格子。
