C．was to be made D．had made
解析句意：在澳大利亚发现黄金这件事情使成千上万的人相信要发财了。

thousands在此处指代成千上万的人，由led的时态可知A项不符合句意；而had made为过去完成时，发生在led动作之前，不符合语境；would make应该为would be made；故只有was to be made 正确。

A．to be referred to；to be e­mailed
B．referring to；e­mail
C．referred to；be e­mailed
D．being referred to；being e­mailed
解析考查非谓语动词和被动语态。

空一refer to与the information之间存在动宾关系，且动作已经完毕，故用过去分词形式作定语；空二e­mail与主语the information也是被动关系，且主句谓语suggest表示“建议〞，从句谓语采用be e­mailed，前面省略了should。

答案 C
12．He tried to deal with the ever­increasing burden of his work，but finally________and had to take a complete rest.
A．broke away B．broke up
C．broke down D．broke out
解析break away“脱离；打破〞；break up“分解；解散〞；break down“分解，失败，出故障，(身体/精神)垮掉〞；break out“(战争、火灾等)突然发生，爆发〞，由句意可知选择C项。

答案 C

A．since；before B．after；when
C．before；since D．that；when
解析句意：自从他受伤已经有一段时间了，但是用不了多久他就会重返球场。

空一考查“it is＋时间段＋since从句〞，空二考查“It won't＋be＋时间段＋before从句〞，表示“用不了多久〞，所以A项正确。

答案 A
14．It________to rain a lot here in the spring.
A．attends B．trends
C．tends D．tendency
解析句意：这里的春天往往雨水很多。

考查tend to do sth相当于be likely to do sth，意为“趋向于〞；A项不符合题意；B、D两项为名词，意为“趋向，趋势〞，不符合题目要求。

答案 C
15．The knife isn't sharp，and it needs________.
A．being sharpened B．sharpening
C．to sharpen D．sharpen
解析句意：这把刀不锋利，它需要磨了。

sharpen用作动词，在此意为“(使)变得锋利〞，
由sth needs doing/to be done句式可知，B项正确。

答案 B

Ⅴ.阅读理解
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 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 frogs.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.
1．From Paragraph 1 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
解析细节理解题。

第一段中有The people were poor.However，they were not unhappy.和C项意思一致。

答案 C
2．Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?
A．The frogs were easy money.
B．They needed money to buy medicine.
C．They wanted to please the visitors.
D．The frogs made too much noise.
解析细节理解题。

根据第三段第一句This seemed like money for nothing.句中for nothing是“免费的〞意思，说明青蛙容易得到，并能赚到钱，村民才答应卖。

答案 A
3．What might be the cause of the children's sickness?
A．The crops didn't do well.
B．There were too many insects.
C．The visitors brought in diseases.
D．The pesticides were overused.
解析推理判断题。

根据倒数第二段中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.可以推断出庄稼收成不好，孩子生病与青蛙减少、害虫增多有关。

答案 B
4．What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?
A．Happiness comes from a peaceful life in the country.
B．Health is more important than money.
C．The harmony between man and nature is important.
D．Good old days will never be forgotten.
解析推理判断题。

最后一句These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.现在夜晚的这些声音具有更深刻的意义。

该句是一个中介句，说明人们过度捕杀造成生态失衡，由此也影响了人类，因此，可以推断人与自然的和谐是非常重要的。

答案 C。
