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 frogs 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 didnt 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 couldnt 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 hadnt been useless. They had been doing an important jobeating 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.21.

The harmony(和谐) between man and nature is important.D. Good old days will never be forgotten.BThat cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines(台词). I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers (抢劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasnt cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where Id heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “ Alisa Camacho ?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. “Is this what youre looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 A.M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldnt get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldnt be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.25. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sick. B.

Her wallet was found in a garbage truck.28. From the text, we can infer that the writer _.A. would stop working at night B. would stay on in San FranciscoC. would make friends with cleaners D. would give up her job at the bank.CSome people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my familys last vacation. It was my six-year-old sons winter break from school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked（过量预定）, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits (信用)to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York，So I had to get back. But that didnt mean my husband and my son couldnt stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home. The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouragedokay, orderedthem to wait it out at the airport, to earn more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh? Now some people may think Im a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up. Ive made a living looking for the best deals and exposing （揭露） the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBCs Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in. I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your moneys worth. Im also tightfisted（吝啬的） when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldnt hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and its the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.29. Why did Delta give the authors family credits?A.

The team won its fourth World Cup victory by defeating host team Japan 3-1 on Sept 6. This has been its first world title in the 11 years since it won at the Athens Olympic Games in 2020.What has the team gone through, and what has made it rise again?Once a world superpower in womens volleyball, China was almost unbeatable (不可战胜的) between 1981 and 1986. _37_.But the retirement (退役) of the players who won in Athens led to a period of difficulty. The newcomers didnt perform well enough and coaches changed too often._38_. She had led the Chinese to the 1981 and 1985 World Cup titles as a player. As head coach, she “brought in fresh air, using more young players boldly (大胆地)”, according to Xinhua. As a result, young players got more chances to train and play for the national team.But things never go exactly (恰好) as planned. _39_. Lang had to find replacements (替补) quickly from her two years of buildup (积累).There were more things to do. She had to calm down her girls. “Its still too far to see who will win,” she told them.

Zhu Ting, 20, asked to return to a game after South Korea took the lead. She had left because of an injury.She said the injury was “not a big deal”. Only after she had helped the team win that game did she tell reporters: “My ankles (脚踝) were really in pain, but I hid it.”_40_. “Luck finally gave us a chance to win. I believe chance only favors prepared people,” Lang told Xinhua.Or, as Xinhua said, it was the girls “hard work, unity and perseverance (坚持)” that won them the World Cup.A.Chinese team was known by many people at that time.B. The term(术语) has come to mean an amazing team spirit.C. Though the team has met many injuries, they still overcome(克服) them.D.
