阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

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 frog’s 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 batter future. But the dream didn’t 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 couldn’t 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 hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job---eating 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.

56. From paragraph 1 we learn that the villagers __________.

A. worked very hard for centuries     B. dreamed of having a better life 

C. were poor but somewhat content   D. lived a different life from their forefathers 

57. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?

A. the frogs were easy money          B. They needs money to buy medicine

C. they wanted to please the visitors     D. the frogs made too much noise

58. What might be the cause of the children’s sickness?

A. the crops didn’t do well           B. there were too many insects

C. the visits brought in diseases       D. the pesticides were overused

59. What can we infer 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 man and nature is important 

D. good old day will never be forgotten

Find Which Direction Is South

Do you have a good sense of direction? If not, please take with you a compass. But if you forget to take a compass, you can still find your way.

It’s never a good idea to imagine that the family member who was entrusted（委

托）with the job of map-reading actually knows where the family is.

You can tell by the slightly confused load on their faces that nothing on the

ground seems to match the map. Never mind. The hun is shining and it’s still morning. If you don’t know the exact time, you can still find out where south is, but you’ll need to be patient.  

Find a straight stick and put it in the ground in a place where you can mark its

shadow.

Try to position the stick as vertically（垂直）as you can. You can check this by

making a simple plumb line （铅锤线）with a piece of string and weight. You haven’t got any string? OK, use a thread from your clothes with a button tied at the end to act as a weight.   

Mark the end of the shadow cast by the stick. 

Wait about half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again. 

Keep doing this until you have made several marks. 

The mark nearest the stick will represent the shortest shadow, which is cast at midday, when the sun is highest in the sky and pointing to the exact south. 

Pick a point in the distance along the line between the shortest shadow and the stick. That point is south of where you are.  

Now you can turn the map, like you did before, and find which way you should be travelling.  

68. To find the direction, we ought to be patient probably because

    A. it is not easy to find a proper stick   B. it is not easy to position the stick

C. it takes hours to make the marks    D. it takes about half an hour to make the marks

69.The passage would probably be most helpful to       .   

A. those who draw maps           B. those who get lost

C. those who make compasses       D. those who do experiments  

70. The author presents this passage by       .   

A. telling an interesting story       

B. describing an activity in a lively way

C. testing an idea by reasoning      

D. introducing a practical method

71. Which of the following pictures best shows the way of finding the direction of south?
