Some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat

2、frogs 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, a

3、nd 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 didnt last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops

4、 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 couldnt 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

5、) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadnt 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 spreadin

6、g 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.21.

9、 ofelectricity every yearUnfortunately, the water there isfar too deep for even the tallest windmills(see picture)to touch bottomAn experiment under way off the coast of Norway, however, could help put themanywhere.The project, called Hywind, is the worlds firstlarge-scale deepwater windturbine( 涡轮发

10、电 机)Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton,2.3-megawatt turbine, Hywind represents totally new technology.The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floatingspar(see picture),a technology Hywinds creator, the Norwegian company StatoilHydro, has developed recentlyThe steel spar, whic

11、h is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied to the ocean floor by three cable(缆索)；these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in the wavesHywinds stability(稳 定性) in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners

12、of the ocean are suitable for wind powerIf all goes according to plan, the turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of southwestern Norway as early as SeptemberTo produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use biggerturbines than Hywind does, bu

13、t its difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so highon a floating spar in the middle of the oceanTo make that turbine heavier, the whole spars centre of gravity must be moved much closer to the oceans surface. To do that, the companyplans to design a new kind of wind turbine, one whose gea

14、rbox(变速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades (see picture).Hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be extremely largeOut at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offshore windmills are plant

15、edDeep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps overcome the windmill-as-eyesore objectionIf the technology catches on, it willopen up vast areas of the planets surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available24. The Hywind project uses totally new technology to ensure the stabili

18、w-carbon power resources available at seaCSkeptics are a strange lot.Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them. Those people,say skeptics,spread nothing but bad news about the environment. Theeco-guilt

19、brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity.That book, The Skeptical Environmentalist, declares that it measures the real

20、 state of the world as fine.Of course, another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests.Indeed, Mr Lomborgs views are similar to those of some industryfunded organizations, which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues like glob

21、al warming.So it was strange to see Mr. Lomborgs book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions.One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that After Lomborg, the envi

22、ronmental movement will begin to die down.Such onesided views should have immediately been challenged.But only adifferent review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership.The review remarked that Mr Lomborgs preference for unexaminedmaterials is incredible (不可信的).A cr

23、itical (批判的) eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions.Unfortunately, that isoften inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests.People might become halfblind before a world pa

24、rtially exhibited by the media.Thats a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.27.According to the passage, which of the following may be regarded as skeptics ?
