2016-2017学年辽宁省葫芦岛市六校协作体联考高二（上）开学英语试卷

• 1．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．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 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 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．

• 2．Her attractive lips seemed to speak words of kindness，while her eyes appeared to seek（寻找） out the good in people． "You have two hands，one for helping yourself，the other for helping others．" She used to say．

     "Her skin looks fresh in all her films and her warm and lively personality really shines through，" said one beauty expert．

     In 1988 Hepburn began her most important role-as a Goodwill Ambassador（大使） for UNICEF（United Nations Children's Fund）．She traveled to the poorest places，doing her best to provide care and create awareness of the difficult situations in which some children live．
      When Hepburn passed away，a message displayed at her funeral read， "In losing Audrey，the world not only lost a movie star，we lost a princess，an angel，a person who inspired us all and whose selfless and loving examples shall always be remembered．"
