【题目】It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.

Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frogs legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other place.

This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future.

But the dream didnt last long. The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.

The villagers decided that they couldnt just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.

Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadnt been useless. They had been doing an important jobeating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.

Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.

【1】Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?

A. The frogs made too much noise.

B. They need money to buy medicine.

C. They wanted to please the visitors.

D. The frogs were easy money.

【2】What might be the cause of the childrens sickness?

A. The crops didnt do well.

B. There were too many insects.

C. The visitors brought in diseases.

D. The pesticides were overused.

【3】What can we infer(推断) from the last sentence of the text?

A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.

B. Health is more important than money.

C. The harmony between humans and nature is important.

D. Good old days will never be forgotten.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】C

【解析】

试题分析:试题分析:在印度的一个小山村,村民们原本过着平静的生活。有一天,城里人到这里收购青蛙。于是,大量的青蛙被捕杀,虽然村民们赚了一些钱,但是,慢慢地害虫多了,庄稼减产了,疾病开始传播了。这时,村民们才真正认识到这一切都是他们捕杀青蛙所造成的。

【1】D 细节理解题。根据文章第三段前两句可知,周围田地里到处都是青蛙,它们似乎对村民也没有什么用处,卖掉青蛙很好赚钱选D。

【2】B 推理判断题。根据文章第六段内容可知,他们把青蛙卖了之后,到处都是害虫,这些害虫不但毁坏庄稼,而且传播疾病,由此可知 B 项正确。

【3】C 推理判断题。最后一句These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.现在夜晚的这些声音具有更深刻的意义根据前面内容可知,村庄里的人过度捕杀青蛙造成生态失衡,由此也给当地人带来了灾难所以他们不得不重新停止捕杀青蛙,因此,昆虫和青蛙对他们来说才有更深的意义,也就是人与自然的和谐很重要,C。

【题目】Many blind people use guide dogs to help them get safely from place to place and to warn them of danger. But what can blind people do if they are allergic(过敏的) to dogs or just don’t like them? For these people, they can turn to the Guide Horse Foundation.

On a trip to New York, Cuddles helped Shaw safely visit many places of interest .They even traveled on a boat and on the subway system.
