3.B.推理判断题.根据倒数第二段中Theyhadbeendoinganimportantjob---eatinginsects.Nowwithsomanyfrogskilled,theinsectswereincreasingmorerapidly.Theyweredamagingthecropsandspreadingdiseases.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.

4.C.推理判断题.最后一句Thesesoundsofthenightnowhaveamuchdeepermeaning.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重要.

【要点综述】本文是一篇议论文。

幸福是什么？

每个人在每个年龄阶段对这个问题有着不同的回答。

儿时的幸福很简单，一辆新自行车就是幸福；少年时的幸福已经变了；成年时的幸福又不一样了。

作者有着自己的幸福观。

51．A　推理判断题。

通过第二、三、四段的描述可知，儿时的梦想很简单，青少年时幸福的概念就换了，而成年时幸福就变得复杂了，因此随着年龄的增长，人们发现体会幸福越来越难了。

故选A。

52．C　推理判断题。

根据第五段中的内容可知，作者说越享受自己拥有的，我们就会越幸福；第六段中作者用自己的体验叙述了作者经历的小小的幸福的时刻。

因此可从第五、六段知道，作者很容易因生活中的一些小事而感到幸福。

故选C。

53．D　细节理解题。

第七段中说奶奶没有快乐的休闲时间，也没有令人满意的工作，但奶奶却有家人和朋友的密切的联系网，因此奶奶也很幸福。

由此可知奶奶的幸福来自于对生活的朴素的期盼。

故选D。

54．B　推理判断题。

根据第八段中的内容，因为有那么多的选择、有想成功的压力，我们很多人把快乐变成了比我们所拥有的更想要的东西。

而那些把幸福和财富以及成功等同起来的人，太过于看重自己拥有幸福的权利了。

故选B。

55．D　主旨大意题。

根据作者整篇文章的论述，作者旨在告诉我们幸福的人就是容易满足的人。

故选D。
