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. 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.
41. 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
42. 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
43. 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
44. 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
B
For years children in the industrial areas of Europe and America seldom left their smoky cities to see the beauties of the countryside. Not that the woods and fields were always far away, but they were too far from the city to permit people to make a round trip between morning and nightfall. What's more, factory workers did not have enough money to send their children on country holidays away from home.
In 1907 a young German schoolmaster had an idea which changed this state of affairs. He decided to turn his little schoolhouse into a dormitory for the summer holidays. Anyone who brought his sleeping bag and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small amount of money. The idea was a success. A few years later the schoolhouse was far too small to hold so many young people who wanted to stay there. So, a dormitory was set up in an old castle nearby. This was the first Youth Hostel.
Today young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostels and get to know each other. Some spend a week or more in the same hostel, seeing the surrounding sights and meeting the people of the area. Other youths go on foot or by bicycle from place to place, spending a night or two in one hostel, and then going to the next.
Sometimes an informal program will be organized after the meal, with dances, songs, or short talks followed by a question period. One can ______________ about other places, just by meeting people who come from these places. For this reason, a few weeks spent "hostelling" can be just as useful a part of one's education as classes in school.

Dear Bob,
It's very kind of you to write me and let me know about your beautiful city. Now I'd like to tell you something about my hometown Jiangcheng.
The city stands on the bank of the Yangtze River. It is a beautiful place for people to live in. Its economy has been developing rapidly in the past ten years. New factories, houses and roads have been built. More schools and hospitals are available for its people. However, there are still some problems, such as water and air pollution and heavy traffic in rush hours. In my opinion, Jiangcheng should develop its economy scientifically. I would also think that the growth of its population should be brought under control so that we'll have a better hometown in future.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Lihua

11.B 句意：—今天晚上能和我一块看电影吗？—我乐意去，但是我要做这么多功课。考查：have much work to do结构，too作为副词修饰much，故答案是B。
12.D 句意：—我昨天没去参加聚会，因为我的车坏了。—你可以借我的，我没有用车。这是一种虚拟用法，“could have done”本可……而没有……，故答案是D。
13. B 句意：尽量镇定下来，我们就能想出一个好的理由。still静止的，不动的，强调不运动；calm镇定的，强调不激动，从容不迫；quiet安静的，强调不弄出声音；alive活着的。
14. D 句意：“他因什么而死的？”“他是饿死的。”die from的意思是“由于……而死”，一般指除了疾病或情感以外的原因造成的死亡。die of表示“因(患)……而死”的意思，常指由于疾病、情感、饥饿等原因而死亡。
15. D 句意：研究调查结果表明，我们每天晚上花费大约两小时作梦，不管我们白天做过什么。no matter what...是让步状语从句；must have done过去一定做过某事；could have done本可能做某事； might have done或许做了某事。
16.B 句意：新来的人们发现使他们自己完全适应这儿的气候，在这个新的国家长期住下是不可能的。考查词义辨析：suit强调“合乎口味，性格，颜色，款式”；fit强调“尺寸，型号”；match强调“相配，相称。”答案B，最合句意。
