三、阅读理解
A
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.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 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 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 that 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. 1.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 答案C 解析细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句“Thepeoplewerepoor.However,theywerenotunhappy.”可知,这里的村民虽然贫穷,但并非不高兴,据此推断他们对自己的生活是知足的、满意的。故选C项。 2.Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs? A.The frogs were easy money. B.They needed money to buy medicine. C.They wanted to please the visitors.
D.The frogs made too much noise. 答案A 解析细节理解题。根据第三段第一句及第三句内容可知,村民们认为这是一桩无本生意,他们所做的就是到田间捕获青蛙,这也是一件轻而易举的事情。故答案为A项。 3.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 visitors brought in diseases. D.The pesticides were overused. 答案B 解析推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段内容,尤其是倒数第二段最后一句
“Theyweredamagingthecropsandspreadingdiseases.”可知,正是因为他们杀死了捕食害虫的青蛙,害虫才得以快速繁衍,进而导致了庄稼的损害,引起了疾病的蔓延。据此推断引起儿童生病的原因是害虫泛滥,故选B项。
4.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 days will never be forgotten. 答案C 解析推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,经过此番折腾之后,村民们现在的生活已经恢复到往日的常态。虽然依旧贫穷,但村民们晚上又可以坐在村中的广场上,聆听昆虫与青蛙的鸣叫声。结合全文推断“Thesesoundsofthenightnowhaveamuchdeepermeaning.”(夜间昆虫与青蛙鸣叫的声音有着一番更为深刻的含义。)意味着人与自然的和谐相处是尤为重要的。故选C项。

In many developed countries,especially in the United States,racism(种族主义) was widespread in the early part of the twentieth century.Many African Americans were not given equal opportunities in education or employment.Marian Anderson (1897—1993) was an African American woman who gained fame as a concert singer in this climate of racism.She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs during her childhood.When she applied for admission to a local music school in 1921,she was turned down because she was black.Unable to attend music school,she began her career as a singer for church gatherings.In 1929,she went to Europe to study voice and spent several years performing there.Her voice was widely praised throughout Europe.Then she returned to the US in 1935 and became a top concert singer after performing at Town Hall in New York City.
Racism again affected Anderson in 1939.When it was arranged for her to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington D.C.,the daughters of the American Revolution opposed it because of her colour.She sang
instead at the Lincoln Memorial for over 75,000 people.In 1955,Anderson became the first black soloist to sing in the Metropolitan Opera of New York City.The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as “heard only once in a hundred years”.She was a US delegate to the United Nations in 1958 and won the UN peace prize in 1977.Anderson eventually triumphed over racism.
5.According to this passage,what did Marian Anderson do between 1921 and 1929? A.She studied at a music school. B.She sang for religious activities. C.She sang at Town Hall in New York City. D.She studied voice in Europe. 答案B 解析细节理解题。根据第一段的“Unabletoattendmusicschool,shebeganhercareerasasingerforchurchgatherings.”可知在1921年到1929年之间安德森为宗教活动唱歌。
6.Toscanini thought that Marian Anderson . A.had a very rare voice B.sang occasionally in public C.sang only once in many years D.was seldom heard by people 答案A 解析推理判断题。由第二段的“ThefamousconductorToscaninipraisedhervoiceas‘heardonlyonceinahundredyears’.”可推知答案。 7.Anderson’s beautiful voice was first recognized . A.at the Lincoln Memorial B.in Washington D.C. C.in Europe
D.at the United Nations 答案C 解析细节理解题。由第一段的“...shewenttoEuropetostudyvoiceandspentseveralyearsperformingthere.HervoicewaswidelypraisedthroughoutEurope.”可知。
8.This passage shows that Anderson finally defeated racism in the US by . A.protesting to the government B.appealing to the United Nations C.demonstrating in the streets D.working hard to perfect her art 答案D 解析推理判断题。由文章主旨可知,安德森凭着认真工作使得她的歌唱更加完美,借此击败种族歧视。
