Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.
This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were useless to the villagers. What they had to do was to 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. The villagers were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.
The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops weren’t doing so well. More worry was that the children fell ill more often, and there were 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 (***剂) and medicine. Soon there was no money left.
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.

A.worked very hard for centuries |

解析
试题分析:这篇短文说的是印度的一个贫穷的村庄,和城市里的一些人达成了协议,为他们提供青蛙,这样他们就可以赚到一些钱。但是很多青蛙被抓走,导致了这个村庄庄稼遭到了昆虫的破坏,孩子们也总是得病。原来村民们觉得没用的青蛙原来有这么大的作用。
小题1:细节理解题。根据文中前两句话,It was a village in India. The people were poor but they were happy.可知,这个村子里的人虽然很穷,但是他们很快乐。故选C。
小题2:推理判断题。根据文中第三段的内容可知,村子里有很多青蛙,他们只要把青蛙抓住就可以赚到钱,因此他们同意这个协议。故选A。
小题3:细节理解题。根据文中第五段的内容,因为没有了青蛙,昆虫的数量急剧增加,这些昆虫毁坏庄稼,传播疾病,因此很多孩子都生病。故选B。
小题4:推理判断题。这篇短文通过这样的一个实例主要就是告诉我们人与自然的和谐是多么的重要。因此选C。

There are many wetlands (湿地) in China and some of them have become the world"s important wetlands.
The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world"s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve (自然保护区) is in them. More than 700 Milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-Crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the red-Crowned Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife (野生动物). Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.
Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.
小题1:The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are in the west of China.
小题2:Usually the weather in the wetlands is pleasant.
小题3:February 2nd is the world"s wetlands Day.
小题4:We must protect wetlands only because they can offer food to the animals and birds.
小题5:Wetlands are valuable resources of land on the earth.
Every year it"s the same. As December comes to an end, you think about the new year and all the ways you want to improve your life. But as you start to write down your hopes for the new year, you think about the last year. You excitedly write down all the changes you are going to make, but by the end of January those ideas get lost in your busy life.
Here"s a suggestion: Forget the too big, hard-to-achieve goals and just think about the small ones. “We often think that we have to do everything in big steps, even though it"s so hard for us to reach it.” said Robert Maurer, who recently wrote the book One Small Step Can Change Your Life. “What we try to do is to begin with such a small step that we can’t find any excuse not to do it.”
“Kaizen”, a Japanese word, is used to mean to change behavior and attitudes (态度). During World War II, American factory managers were able to increase productivity by trying small, continuous improvements instead of sudden changes. After the war, the idea was brought to a rebuilding (重建) Japan. It made Japan develop fast. The Japanese called it “kaizen”, which means “improvement”.
Maurer studied the idea and did some experiments with it. “Kaizen” could possibly help people succeed in doing everything.
小题1:At the end of December, people usually ___________ .
A.plan for the last year | B.fail to make big changes |
C.try to lose their ideas | D.think about the new year |
A.we should do everything in big steps |
B.how to find a small step without any excuse |
C.we should try a lot of sudden changes |
D.how to change one’s life with one small step |
A.增加成本 | B.提高待遇 | C.提高生产率 | D.增加出口量 |
A.take a tiny step to achieve big goals |
B.make changes at the end of the year |
C.do few experiments with “kaizen” |
D.do things with hard-to-achieve goals |
A.You can"t find any excuse not to reach a big goal. |
B.You can achieve your goals if you are not too busy. |
C.”Kaizen” was brought to Japan during World WarⅡ. |
D.Robert Maurer studied “kaizen” and found it helpful. |
Many of the things we do every day can change the Earth’s temperature by sending greenhouse gases into the air. We send greenhouse gases into the air when we watch TV, turn on lights, dry hair, play video games, wash or dry our clothes or drive cars. The rubbish from factories and homes also produces greenhouse gases.
Even a small change in temperature can affect our weather. This can cause changes in the sea levels, the air, flooding, and our fresh water.
The change in the temperature can also cause changes in the living places for animals and plants, endangering many animals.
Global warming is a big problem, and every little bit we do can help. We can save electricity. We can save energy in other ways such as by taking buses or walking rather than driving cars. We can recycle to reduce the rubbish and save natural resources such as trees, oil and metals. We can buy products that don’t do bad to the environment and we can turn to solar energy. Remember the little bit that you do will bring a better world.
小题1: Which of the following does not send greenhouse gases into the air?
A.Watching TV. | B.Turning on a light. |
C.Driving a car. | D.Walking to school. |
A.the greenhouse effect is important |
B.humans are making the earth warmer |
C.the earth is getting warmer in 100 years |
D.the earth could be getting warmer by itself |
A.be safer | B.not be able to live |
C.have a cleaner earth | D.have a better world |
A.Paragraph 2 | B.Paragraph 3 |
C.Paragraph 4 | D.Paragraph 5 |
A.we can"t do anything to help | B.we don"t need to do anything |
C.we can do something to help | D.we can do something to stop it |
That may seem a strange thing to say it. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.
All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.
There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to feel them!
Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.
If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!

A.Touching is helping us to see better. |
B.Our feet, fingers, hands and skin can help us buy food. |
C.People have to learn to see by feeling as they grow up. |

A.Touching by Feeling. |
B.To See or to Feel? |
C.To See Better-Feel |
D.Ways of Feeling. |
Sleep: Sleep plays an important part in improving your memory. Enough sleep is very important to have a good memory.
