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. Yet 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 (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.

China started its seventh national population census (人口普查) on November 1st, 2020, with about 7 million census takers collecting information. China has carried out a national census every 10 years since the 1990s. It aims to help us get a good understanding of the population’s size, structure (结构) and distribution. On May 11th, 2021, the National Bureau of Statistics announced the results of China’s seventh national population census. It is important to help the government make policies in different fields. Let’s take a look at some of the findings.
● World’s largest population Although there are some worries about the birthrate, the population on the mainland stands at 1.41 billion. It has been growing steadily (稳定地), and will stay above 1.4 billion for some time. China’s population by national censuses Chart I
● More education All school-age kids are required to go to school. And nearly 220 million people have college degrees. These young people are playing an important role in building modern society. College degree per 100,000 population Chart II
● An aging (老龄化的) society The country’s average (平均的) age is 38.8 years old. Nearly 20 percent of the people are over 60, while the number of working-age people has dropped by over 40 million. However, China is moving towards the next stage of development. Chart III
In the face of the problems caused by the aging society, some new policies were made, three-child policy is one of them. That is to say, China allows couples to have three children. This marks the end of a strict two-child policy. Many experts believe people will understand the idea of population in a more active way with the support of the three-child policy. They will come to realize that having a larger population means more social resources rather than more burden (负担): Not only can we benefit a lot from the new policy, but families can also live a much happier life in a harmonious society.

You might not expect it, but cows can lead to air pollution. Now scientists have shown that the pollution from cows can be cut by adding a little seaweed (海草) to their food.
Cows have one stomach, but it has four separate parts. This allows them to process grass and other foods that humans can’t digest (消化). One of their stomach parts has a special chemical. It helps break down the grass into something the cow’s body can use. But the process produces lots of methane (甲烷), the world’s second worst greenhouse gas.
Scientists first discovered that seaweed could help control methane from cows several years ago. But that work was done in a lab, and there were many questions about whether the idea could work in real life. In the lab studies, the cows were given some seaweed, and they ended up losing weight. That wasn’t helpful, since cows are often sold by weight. It also wasn’t clear if the seaweed would stop working if it was used for a longer period of time.
Now, scientists studied 21 cows on a farm for about five months. They mixed a little seaweed with the cows’ food. The results were surprisingly good. Some cows produced 82% less methane. Even the worst-polluting cows produced 33% less methane. Over the five months, the scientists didn’t see any signs that the cows’ stomachs were getting used to the seaweed and starting to produce more methane again. Another good news came when they looked at the weight of the cows. The cows that were fed seaweed gained just as much weight as the other cows, but they didn’t need as much food.
Although there are still some problems with the idea, it’s very good news that something as simple as feeding cows seaweed can help reduce some of the pollution.
41. Why can cows cause air pollution
A. Because they have seaweed as their food.
B. Because they have bigger stomachs than humans.
C. Because their body can produce methane.
D. Because their stomachs have four separate parts.
42. What happened to the cows after eating seaweed in lab studies
A. They got thinner than before. B. They produced no methane.
C. They ate less food than usual. D. They were sold by weight.
43. According to the studies on a farm, which of the following is TRUE
A. The cows’ stomachs get used to the seaweed.
B. The cows that eat seaweed lose weight again.
C. The cows produce more methane five months later.
D. The seaweed helps control methane even after a long time.
44. What does the writer think of the idea of feeding cows seaweed
A. Cruel. B. Meaningless. C. Great. D. Unexpected.
45. Which of the following is the best title of the passage
A. Cows That Eat Seaweed Pollute Less
B. Scientists Discover a Way to Feed Cows
C. Cows Are Harmful to the Environment
D. Seaweed Becomes Cows’ Favorite Food

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. Yet 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 (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.

China started its seventh national population census (人口普查) on November 1st, 2020, with about 7 million census takers collecting information. China has carried out a national census every 10 years since the 1990s. It aims to help us get a good understanding of the population’s size, structure (结构) and distribution. On May 11th, 2021, the National Bureau of Statistics announced the results of China’s seventh national population census. It is important to help the government make policies in different fields. Let’s take a look at some of the findings.
● World’s largest population Although there are some worries about the birthrate, the population on the mainland stands at 1.41 billion. It has been growing steadily (稳定地), and will stay above 1.4 billion for some time. China’s population by national censuses Chart I
● More education All school-age kids are required to go to school. And nearly 220 million people have college degrees. These young people are playing an important role in building modern society. College degree per 100,000 population Chart II
● An aging (老龄化的) society The country’s average (平均的) age is 38.8 years old. Nearly 20 percent of the people are over 60, while the number of working-age people has dropped by over 40 million. However, China is moving towards the next stage of development. Chart III
In the face of the problems caused by the aging society, some new policies were made, three-child policy is one of them. That is to say, China allows couples to have three children. This marks the end of a strict two-child policy. Many experts believe people will understand the idea of population in a more active way with the support of the three-child policy. They will come to realize that having a larger population means more social resources rather than more burden (负担): Not only can we benefit a lot from the new policy, but families can also live a much happier life in a harmonious society.

You might not expect it, but cows can lead to air pollution. Now scientists have shown that the pollution from cows can be cut by adding a little seaweed (海草) to their food.
Cows have one stomach, but it has four separate parts. This allows them to process grass and other foods that humans can’t digest (消化). One of their stomach parts has a special chemical. It helps break down the grass into something the cow’s body can use. But the process produces lots of methane (甲烷), the world’s second worst greenhouse gas.
Scientists first discovered that seaweed could help control methane from cows several years ago. But that work was done in a lab, and there were many questions about whether the idea could work in real life. In the lab studies, the cows were given some seaweed, and they ended up losing weight. That wasn’t helpful, since cows are often sold by weight. It also wasn’t clear if the seaweed would stop working if it was used for a longer period of time.
Now, scientists studied 21 cows on a farm for about five months. They mixed a little seaweed with the cows’ food. The results were surprisingly good. Some cows produced 82% less methane. Even the worst-polluting cows produced 33% less methane. Over the five months, the scientists didn’t see any signs that the cows’ stomachs were getting used to the seaweed and starting to produce more methane again. Another good news came when they looked at the weight of the cows. The cows that were fed seaweed gained just as much weight as the other cows, but they didn’t need as much food.
Although there are still some problems with the idea, it’s very good news that something as simple as feeding cows seaweed can help reduce some of the pollution.
41. Why can cows cause air pollution
A. Because they have seaweed as their food.
B. Because they have bigger stomachs than humans.
C. Because their body can produce methane.
D. Because their stomachs have four separate parts.
42. What happened to the cows after eating seaweed in lab studies
A. They got thinner than before. B. They produced no methane.
C. They ate less food than usual. D. They were sold by weight.
43. According to the studies on a farm, which of the following is TRUE
A. The cows’ stomachs get used to the seaweed.
B. The cows that eat seaweed lose weight again.
C. The cows produce more methane five months later.
D. The seaweed helps control methane even after a long time.
44. What does the writer think of the idea of feeding cows seaweed
A. Cruel. B. Meaningless. C. Great. D. Unexpected.
45. Which of the following is the best title of the passage
A. Cows That Eat Seaweed Pollute Less
B Scientists Discover a Way to Feed Cows
C. Cows Are Harmful to the Environment
D. Seaweed Becomes Cows’ Favorite Food
【答案】41. C 42. A 43. D 44. C 45. A
