11．Long ago，there was a small village in Cambodia．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 frog's 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 to 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 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 （殺蟲劑） 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．

分析 本文通過描寫Cambodia的一個小村莊因?yàn)檫^度捕殺青蛙而對莊稼和孩子造成損傷，然后幡然醒悟的故事，說明了人與自然應(yīng)和平相處的道理．
解答 21．B 細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，The people were poor．However，they were not unhappy．After all，their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries．在祖輩們世代居住的這塊土地上，他們雖然貧窮但是很快樂，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，故選B
22．A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由第三段首句"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 to catch them．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．．"及其后敘述可知，村民們認(rèn)為青蛙是無用卻能讓他們快速發(fā)財致富的東西．于是大人小孩兒都開始抓青蛙來賣，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，故選A．
23．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由倒數(shù)第二段"Now with so many frogs killed，the insects were increasing more rapidly．They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases．大量青蛙被捕，昆蟲增加，導(dǎo)致農(nóng)作物損失，疾病蔓延，從而引起兒童患病，體質(zhì)虛弱．故選D．
24．C 推理判斷題．最后一段提到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：村民現(xiàn)在仍貧窮，但在落日的黃昏，聚坐廣場，聆聽夜晚的昆蟲叫與蛙鳴聲--這些聲音賦予人們更深刻的含義，那就是：人與自然的和諧相處．故選C．
點(diǎn)評 本文是一個人生感悟類閱讀，題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．
