　　text 1

　　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 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, 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

　　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.

　　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.

　　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】

　　本篇文章为记叙文。主要讲述印度一个小村庄的人们在外乡人的诱导下为了追求金钱收益捕杀青蛙，结果破坏了生态平衡。意识到这个问题后，他们及时停止了捕杀，重新回到了宁静的乡村生活。

　　1.C　细节理解题。第一段中有“The people were poor.However, they were not unhappy.”和C项意思一致。

　　2.A　细节理解题。根据第二段的“This seemed like money for nothing.”句中for nothing 是“免费的”意思，说明青蛙容易得到，并能赚到钱，村民才答应卖。

　　3.B　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“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.”可以推断出庄稼收成不好，孩子生病与青蛙减少、害虫增多有关。

　　4.C　推理判断题。最后一句说明人们过度捕杀造成生态失衡，由此也影响了人类，因此，可以推断人与自然的`和谐是重要的。

　　text 2

　　There has been a dramatic increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years，and it is assumed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future. Some of the world's leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves.

　　London

　　London's flood defences are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier(水闸)has protected the city from the threat of flooding，but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 21 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not addressed.

　　There are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals，an airport and 80 billion worth of property in London's flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous.

　　Paris

　　Over a six-week period in July and August 2008，more than 11400—mainly elderly people—died in France from dehydration (脱水) and extremely high body temperature in a deadly heat wave. Heat waves of similar intensity(强度)are expected every seven years by 2050, so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again?

　　One solution is to have air-conditioners installed in elderly care homes. But this is considered a short-term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions.

　　In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building “Flower Tower”， which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air-conditioner.

　　Shanghai

　　Shanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth. It has a population of 18 million and is only 4 meters above sea level. Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century.

　　An estimated 250,000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption. China relies heavily on coal-fired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, in turn, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons.

 　　1. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Big Cities Facing Big Disasters

　　B. Big Disasters in the Future

　　C. The Increase of Natural Disasters

　　D. Solutions to Natural Disasters

　　2. What problem should be settled now in London?

　　A. How to protect the city's property.

　　B. Where to build its flood defences.

　　C. How to use the Thames Barrier to protect the city.

　　D. How to improve the function of the old flood defences.

　　3. Which of the following measures can't solve the heat wave disaster in Paris?

　　A. Putting up new types of buildings with a covering of bamboo.

　　B. Having air-conditioners installed in elderly care homes.

　　C. Forbidding the city to build “Flower Tower”.

　　D. Encouraging architects to design new types of buildings.

　　4. The major threats to Shanghai are ________.

　　A. increasing population and coal-fired power stations

　　B. rising sea levels and typhoons

　　C. extremely high temperature and rising sea levels

　　D. extra demands on energy consumption and typhoons

　　5. The purpose of the passage is ________.

　　A. to tell us how to protect the big cities

　　B. to give advice on how to defend natural disasters

　　C. to explain what causes flood and heat waves

　　D. to warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big cities

　　【答案】

　　1.A　主旨大意题。抓住关键词，全文主要是围绕着三个闻名于世的大城市面临的灾难展开介绍的，关键词是big city和disasters。

　　2.D　细节理解题。在介绍伦敦时，第一句话“London's flood defences are getting older.”就点明了伦敦的危机暗伏的原因是防洪堤老化。所以解决的方法就是改善防洪堤。

　　3.C　推理判断题。在介绍巴黎时，说到了解决问题的.两种办法，一种是使用空调，但这种办法不是长久之计;另外一种就是在建筑上使用竹子屋顶型的花塔，所以A、B、D三项均正确，而C项forbid正好与文章要表达的意思相反。

　　4.B　细节理解题。在介绍上海这一城市时，第一段说的是海平面，第二段说的是台风。

 　　5.D　主旨大意题。作者写这篇文章的目的就是呼吁人们关注全球变暖和气候变化对地球的影响，就全文来说，是希望引起人们关注灾害对大城市的破坏。

　　text 3

　　When milk arrived on the doorstep

　　When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.

　　Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note -“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.

　　All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn't freeze. And I remember Mr.Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.

　　There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.

　　Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊). Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.

　　1.Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer________.

　　A.to show his magical power

　　B.to pay for the delivery

　　C.to satisfy his curiosity

　　D.to please his mother

　　2.What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?

　　A.He wanted to have tea there.

　　B.He was treated as a family member.

　　C.He was a respectable person.

　　D.He was fully trusted by the family.

　　3.Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?

　　A.Nobody wants to be a milkman now.

　　B.It has been driven out of the market.

　　C.Its service is getting poor.

　　D.It is forbidden by law.

　　4.Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?

　　A.He missed the good old days.

　　B.He wanted to tell interesting stories.

　　C.He needed it for his milk bottles.

　　D.He planted flowers in it.

　　【答案】

　　1.C　推理判断题。根据第一段最后可以看出，当时作者只是一个5岁的孩子，对送奶人腰带上的投币器很好奇，善良的送奶人把一枚硬币送给作者，是为了满足其好奇心，所以应选C项。

　　2.D　推理判断题。根据第三段第二句可知，家里人与送奶人之间关系很密切，送奶人甚至有家里的钥匙，由此推断送奶人得到了充分的'信任，故选D项。

　　3.B　细节理解题。根据第四段可知，激烈的竞争和购买的便利使得送奶上门退出了市场，无法存在下去，故选B项。

　　4.A　推理判断题。由最后一段可以看出，作者有一种怀旧的心理，想念儿时的时光，感觉送奶人送来牛奶的同时，也带来了友谊，故选A项。

　　text 4

 　　While small may be beautiful, tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems, particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.

　　The Tall Persons Club Great Britain (TPCGB), which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants. Beds that are too small，shower heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says.

　　But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met. The average height of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged.

　　“The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a king-size bed at 6′6″ (6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the standard 6′3″ bed caters for less than half of the male population，” said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy，“Seven-foot beds would work fine.”

　　Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.

　　Some have already taken note, however. At Queens Moat Houses' Caledonian Hotel in Edinburgh, 6′6″ beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors，particularly Americans.

　　1.What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign?

　　A.To provide better services.

　　B.To rebuild hotels and restaurants.

　　C.To draw public attention to the needs of the tall.

　　D.To attract more people to become its members.

　　2.Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy?

　　A.7′2″　　B.7′ C.6′6″ D.6′3″

　　3.What may happen to restaurants with small tables?

　　A.They may lose some customers.

　　B.They may start businesses elsewhere.

　　C.They have to find easy chairs to match the tables.

　　D.They have to provide enough space for the long??legged.

　　4.What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh?

　　A. Tall people pay more for larger beds.

　　B.6′6″ beds have taken the place of 6′3″ beds.

　　C.Special rooms are kept for Americans.

　　D.Guest rooms are standardized.

　　【答案】

　　1.C　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句话可知，这次活动的目的是引起公众对高个子的人的需要的关注。

　　2.B　细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句中的“Seven??foot beds would work fine.”可知，床铺的合适长度是7英尺。

　　3.A　推理判断题。根据第五段可知，餐桌太小会使高个子的`人们到别的地方去(吃饭)，也就是说，餐桌太小的饭店会失去一些客人。

　　4.B　细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，爱丁堡的一家宾馆已经使用6英尺6英寸的床铺作为标准床铺，故选B项。
