( ) 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. 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 ( ) 3. what might be the cause of the childrens sickness? a. the crops didnt do well b. there were too many insects c. the visits 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 day will never be forgotten 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.根据第三段和本段第一句 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,村民才答应买. 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 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. 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（），并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1. 每处错误及其修改仅限一词。 2. 只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。attention please, everyone. i have announcement to make. you will pay a visit to the museum on october 1st. i think we will be interest in it. in the course of the visit, the guide will give us an account of the past or the development of the city. she say something about the advanced workers, included some teachers. we will see many pictures there. im sure of that we can learn a lot. after the visit, well have a discussion in group and each of us must write a composition. we are to start out as earlier as 7:00 am. we must gather against time at the school gate. thats all. thanks.【参考答案】4.attention, please, everyone. i have announcement to make. you will pay a visit to the museum an weon october 1st. i think we will be interest in it. in the course of the visit, the guide will give us interestedan account of the past or the development of the city. she say something about the advanced and willworkers, included some teachers. we will see many pictures there. im sure of that we can learn includinga lot. after the visit, well have a discussion in group and each of us must write a composition. groupswe are to start out as earlier as 7:00 am. we must gather against time at the school gate. thats all. early on/ inthanks.短文改错 (共10小题; 每小题1分, 满分10分) 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加: 在缺词处加一个漏字符号（）, 并在其下写出该加的词。 删除: 把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。 修改: 在错的词下划一横线, 并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意: 1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2.只允许修改10处, 多者（从第11处起）不计分。ladies and gentlemen,it is special pleasure to welcome our new staff member, mr tony white, who has come here to america.mr white has recently graduated from the university of chicago where he has majored in english literature and minored in teaching english as the second language. he will working with us here for at least two years.one of the goals of our school are to promote understanding and cooperation between the young people of our two countries. by have mr white, who is willing to sacrifice the comfort of his friends and family to come to a strange country, we feel we are very lucky and our goals will be easily realized.on behalf of the whole school, id like to extend to you, mr white, your sincerest welcome. we are indeed happy to have you here, and we wish you all the better during your stay in china.thank you.【参考答案】5.ladies and gentlemen,it is special pleasure to welcome our new staff member, mr tony white, who has come 1.my或ahere to america. 2. frommr white has recently graduated from the university of chicago where he has majored in 3. 删掉hasenglish literature and minored in teaching english as the second language. he will working 4. a 5.bewith us here for at least two years.one of the goals of our school are to promote understanding and cooperation between the 6. isyoung people of our two countries. by have mr white, who is willing to sacrifice the comfort 7. havingof his friends and family to come to a strange country, we feel we are very lucky and our goals 8.thatwill be easily realized.on behalf of the school staff, id like to extend to you, mr white, your sincerest welcome. 9. ourwe are indeed happy to have you here, and we wish
