第5题：
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 ofen, and, there seeemed to be more insects aroud lately.
The vilagers 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 peaple 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 peaple 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 .
from paragraoh 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

第8题：
问答题The celebrations of Easter have many customs and legends that have nothing to do with Christianity. Among various symbols associated with Easter, Easter bonny has been playing an important part. In pagan times, the “Easter hare” was no ordinary animal, but a sacred companion of the old goddess of spring, Eastre. The Easter bunny has its origin in pre-Christian fertility lore. The Hare and the Rabbit were the most fertile animals known and they served as symbols of the new life during the Spring season. Hares are animals which look like rabbits, but are larger and in many countries quite rare. In most places, the Easter rabbit (bunny) has replaced the Easter hare completely. Since long before Jesus Christ was born, parents told their children that the magic hare would bring them presents at the spring festival. The presents were often painted eggs, as these represented the new life starting at this time of year.正确答案：
复活节节庆活动的许多习俗和传说都与基督教无关。在与复活节有关的各种象征性事物中,复活节野兔占有重要地位。在异教徒时期,复活节野兔并非凡物,它是春天女神Eastre的同伴。复活节兔子源于前基督教时期人们的生育知识。野兔与兔被认为是繁殖力最强的动物,因此象征着春天的新生命。野兔长得很像兔,但比兔大,在很多国家并不多见。在大多数地方,复活节兔子已完全取替了复活节野兔的地位。早在基督耶稣诞生之前,父母就告诉孩子有魔力的野兔会在春天来临的时候给他们带来礼物。礼物通常是彩蛋,因为它们象征着春天新生命的开始。解析： 暂无解析 -

Passage Three
For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming home to an empty house. They spend part of each day alone. They are called "latchkey children". They're children who look after themselves while their parents work. And their bad conditions have become a social problem.
Lyne Brown was once the headmaster of an elementary school. She said, "A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached.! was constantly telling them to put them inside shirts. There were so many keys, it never came to my mind what they meant. ",slowly, she learned they were house keys.
Lyne learned of the impact working couples and single parents were having on their children. She found that Fear is the biggest problem faced by children at home alone. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety.
The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. It might be in a shower stall, under a bed, in a closet. The second is TV. They'll often play it at high volume. It's hard to get statistics (情况，材料) on latchkey children. Most parents are slow to admit they leave their children alone.
41. The main idea about "latchkey children" is that they______.
A. are growing in numbers
B. are also found in middle-class neighborhoods
C. watch too much television during the day
D. suffer problems from being left alone
正确答案：D41．答案为D 根据文章第1段第5句They spend part of each day alone及全文内容可推知钥匙儿童指经常独自在家的孩子。

第一篇
Pushbike Danger
Low speed bicycle crashes can badly injure一or even kill一children if they fall onto the
ends of the handlebars（车把）.So a team of engineers is redesigning it to make it safer.
Kristy Arbogast,a bioengineer at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in
Pennsylvania,began the project with her colleagues.The cases they reviewed about
serious abdominal（腹部的）injuries in children in the past 30 years showed that more than
a third were caused by bicycle accidents."The task was to identify how the injuries occurred
and come up with some countermeasures."she says.
By interviewing the children and their parents,Arbogast and her team were able to
reconstruct many of the accidents and identified a common cause for serious injuries.They
discovered that most cases occur when children hit an obstacle at slow speed,causing
them to topple（摇摆）over. To maintain their balance the children turn the handlebars
through 90 degrees一but their momentum（冲力）forces them into the end of the
handlebars.The bike then falls over and the other end of the handlebars hits the ground,
pushing it into their abdomen（腹部）.
The solution the group came up with is a handgrip（握柄）fitted with a spring and
damping（减速）system. The spring absorbs up to 50 per cent of the forces transmitted
（传递）through the handlebars in an impact. The group hopes to commercialize the device,
which should add only a few dollars to the cost of a bike."But our task has been one of
education because up until now,bicycle manufacturers were unaware of the problem."
says Arbogast.How many abdominal injuries in children were caused by bicycle accidents?
A:Thirty.
B:Ninety.
C:50 percent.
D:More than a third.答案：D解析： -
