On a hill 600 feet above the surrounding land, we watch the lines of rain move across the scene, the moon rise over the hills, and the stars appear in the sky. The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house.

Every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before. Each look reminds us where we are.

There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees.

Our kids have learned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation. As they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple (枫树) makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees.

The air is clean and fresh. The water from the well has a pleasant taste, and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink. Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water, they never say anything against that.

The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars' (杨树) putting out the first green leaves of spring. The rainbow smelt fills the local steam as the ice gradually disappears, and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter. A family of birds rules our skies and flies over the lake.

参考译文

在600英尺高的山周围的土地上，我们观看雨线横移的风景，看月亮从山边爬上来，看星星在天空中闪烁。这般风景需要坐在木屋前一把舒适的椅子上看。

我们木屋的每个窗口都是一处风景，森林和湖泊很少与一小时前看到的一样。每一瞥都能让我们想起我们在哪。

户外有我们三个男孩玩耍的空间，我们玩射箭，收集树种，建立地球房屋，爬树。

我们的孩子们知道树木的名称，他们熟悉树木，也喜欢树木。他们甚至告诉所有表示有一时兴趣的人，枫树是最好的战斗棍棒，白松树是最好爬的树。

空气清新干净。井水尝起来很甘甜，这也许是我们的孩子喝的最健康的水。虽然他们一天只有一杯果汁，其余的都是水，但是他们从来不抱怨什么。

门外的风景四季更迭。我们看到枫树在秋天变成黄色和红色，我们也注意杨树生长出的春天的第一树绿叶。随着冰雪的逐渐消融，当地的溪流中出现了许多美洲胡瓜；在池塘冰封了一个冬天之后，林蛙又开始在池塘里唱歌。鸟类统治着我们的天空，自由地飞翔在湖泊的上空。

答案解析

41. A 考查推理判断。由第二段中的”Every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before.”可知房前的景色多姿多彩，富有变化。

42. C 考查推理判断。 由第四段可知，作者提到这些树是为了表明孩子们学到了很多知识，他们知道枫树和松树的一些用处。

43. A 考查句意理解。画线句后的一句话解释了其意思，即很容易感觉到季节的变化。

44. D 考查写作意图。作者叙述门前美景及孩子在自然中的所得，是想与读者一起分享生活在自然中的乐趣趣。所以D项正确。
