Then one day. Some visitors from the city arrived. The 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. ‎ ‎( ) 1. From paragraph I 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.

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 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. 该句是一个中介句, 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. ‎ ‎【四川省资阳市2014模拟】‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 ‎ The extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital city, is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating principles as the ‎ termite mound (白蚁堆).‎ Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate‎ ‎Building, which has no air-conditioning and almost no heating. The building — the country’s largest commercial and shopping complex — uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgate’s owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning plant didn’t have to be imported.　　 ‎ The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glass-roofed atrium (天井) open to the air. Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents (通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys. ‎ During summer’s cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building, to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.‎ This is all possible only because Harare is 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swings — days as warm as ‎31℃‎ commonly drop to ‎14℃‎ at night. “You couldn’t do this in New York, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters,” Pearce said.‎ The engineering firm of Ove Arup & Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between ‎23℃‎ and ‎25℃‎, with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is fresh — far more so than in air-conditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.‎ ‎47. Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building?‎ A. It was designed in a smaller size. ‎ B. No air conditioners were fixed in. ‎ C. Its heating system was less advanced.‎ D. It used rather different building materials.‎ ‎48. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? ‎ A. Fresh air from outside. B. Heat in the building. ‎ C. Hollow space. D. Baseboard vent. ‎ ‎49. Why wouldn’t a building like Eastgate work efficiently in New York?‎ A. New York has less clear skies as Harare.‎ B. Its dampness affects the circulation of air.‎ C. New York covers a larger area than Harare.‎ D. Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.‎ ‎50. The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgate’s temperature control system ______.‎ A. allows a wide range of temperatures ‎ B. functions well for most of the year C. can recycle up to 30% of the air D. works better in hot seasons ‎ 【参考答案】47—50、BADB 阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。‎ For many years，artists have flocked to Paris，France，to paint or to learn to paint.Perhaps artists first went there because of the city’s beauty.They went to paint pictures of the broad，treelined streets，the great churches，and the graceful river bridges.‎ The artists felt comfortable in Paris because the people of the city had always enjoyed art.Paris had great art museums，filled with famous paintings and statues from many countries.And the people of Paris had always welcomed new ideas.In this city，artists felt free to experiment with new ways of painting.‎ As soon as famous artists painted in Paris，students came to learn from them.People came to buy paintings.People called art dealers set up galleries where paintings were bought and sold.Others kept shops that sold artists’paints and supplies.‎ Students and artists who were not yet famous could live in Paris for very little money.They learned by studying great art in the museums，and they learned from one another.They held art fairs，hanging their paintings outdoors along the streets.‎ Today，New York City and Florence，Italy，are also famous art centers.But the ‎ world’s principal art exhibits are still held in Paris.Important judges of art live there.Most of the new ways of painting that have started in the last hundred years began in Paris.So artists and art dealers still go to Paris because it is the world’s leading art center.‎ ‎1．Art students learned by studying great art in Paris’________．‎ A．streets B．churches C．museums D．schools 解析：　由第四段第二句话“They learned by studying great art in the museums，and they learned from one another.”可知答案。‎ 答案：　C ‎2．The story does not say so，but it makes you think that________.‎ A．Paris is famous for its artists’paints and supplies B．there is more than one way to paint C．art fairs are held in galleries D．Florence is the center of world art exhibits 解析：　最后一段中的“Most of the new ways of painting that have started in the last hundred years began in Paris.”作者提到了new ways。‎ 答案：　B ‎3．Important judges of art________.‎ A．live in Paris B．feel free to experiment C．work in New York D．have no new ways of painting 解析：　最后一段的第三句话点出答案。‎ 答案：　A ‎4．Students can learn from________.‎ A．their parents B．one another C．the streets D．the trees 解析：　第四段第二句话告诉我们“students learn from one other”。‎ 答案：　B ‎5．On the whole，this story is about________.‎ A．the world’s most famous art center B．how to buy a painting in Paris，France C．the famous art centers of New York and ‎Florence D．where to set up galleries 解析：　从整篇文章来看都是在讲巴黎，它是世界艺术之都。‎ 答案：　A ‎【天津市2014高考英语六校第三次联考试题】‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。‎ As demand for power and fuel grows steadily in the coming decades, we must consider every possible energy source on hand if we're to meet the world's needs. And because clean natural gas is found in great plenty, there is little doubt that it will play a major role on the world energy stage in this century, much like oil did in the last. But, like oil, gas reserves are concentrated in just a few places in the world, usually far from where they're needed most. And that's only part of the challenge. The world has had well over 100 years to search for oil and to build the necessary facilities to bring it to market; the natural gas facilities, particularly when it comes to liquefied（液化）natural gas（LNG）, are not nearly as developed.‎ ‎    So what needs to be done? On the supply side, producing nations need policies that allow for better development of their natural gas in an open, stable business environment, not one in which the rules of the game change without warning. The governments of consuming nations, on the other hand, must make policies for sustainable（可持续的）development to ensure they'll have enough supplies in the future. That means building the related facilities, including LNG stations. This, in turn, will require coastal areas to allow these necessary, but not necessarily pretty, facilities to be built in their backyards. And energy companies have a responsibility to be good neighbors in those areas by operating these facilities responsibly and safely. They must also continue to put in the billions of dollars needed to build the complex transport and storage facilities required to bring more gas to market. ‎ ‎    Expanding and diversifying（使多样化）energy sources by using more natural gas could lead to lower fuel prices and to greater energy security. We've taken some of the steps to get started, but we need your help to get the rest of the way.‎ ‎41. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. Gas played a major part in the 20th century. ‎ B. Gas reserves are widely spread around the world.‎ C. Natural gas facilities are far from satisfactory. ‎ D. Necessary facilities are ready to bring gas to market.‎ ‎42. The underlined word "one"（in Paragraph 2）refers to ______.‎ A. a gas supply side                          B. a policy for gas development ‎ C. a gas consuming nation                            D. a business environment ‎43. Consuming nations of natural gas need to ______.‎ A. have long-term policies for gas supply          B. open markets in their backyards ‎ C. build pretty facilities along the coast          D. change the rules of the game     ‎ ‎44. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.‎ A. warn people of the lack of power and fuel ‎ B. discuss the importance of oil and natural gas C. instruct people how to make use of energy sources D. call for better use and development of natural gas ‎ ‎45. The passage might be followed by a paragraph about ______. ‎ A. which countries are in great need of gas     B. where energy sources are concentrated C. what kind of help you can offer     D. what problems of energy sources we may face ‎【参考答案】41—45 CDADC ‎ ‎【天津市2014高考英语六校第三次联考试题】‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。‎ Let’s pay a visit to some of the most amazing and unusual places in the world, from icy hotels to temples on the side of cliffs(悬崖).‎ Hotel de Glace — ‎Canada If you don’t mind the cold, this igloo(冰屋) style hotel is certainly for you.
