2.Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar,it is also delicious.
Most people,and many animals,like eating it.However,the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees'nest and take the honey from it.Often,these nests are high up in trees,and it is difficult to find them.In parts of Africa,though,people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper-a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey,but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房).The little bird cannot reach this wax,which is deep inside the bees'nest.So,when it finds a suitable nest,it looks for someone to help it.The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people.Once it has their attention,it flies through the forest,waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest.When they finally arrive at the nest,the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches.Some of the honey,and the wax,always fall to the ground,and this is when the honey guide takes its share.
Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax,but it is very determined in its efforts to get it.The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away.They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives,and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.

60.Why is it difficult to find a wild bees'nest?B
A.It's small in size.        B.It's hidden in trees.
C.It's covered with wax.     D.It's hard to recognize.
61.What do the words"the follower"in Paragraph 2refer to?C
A.A bee.     B.A bird.     C.A honey seeker.     D.A beekeeper.
62.The honey guide is special in the wayA.
A.it gets its food                 B.it goes to church
C.it sings in the forest           D.it reaches into bees'nests
63.What can be the best title for the text?D
A.Wild Bees                   B.Wax and Honey
C.Beekeeping in Africa        D.Honey-Lover's Helper.

分析 本文是一篇說明文.文章介紹了一種幫助人們尋找到蜂蜜的鳥兒"a honey guide"獨特的掠食方式,幫助人和動物找到蜂蜜,待到他們吃掉蜂蜜后,它再吃蜂膠.科學家們對此也感到迷惑不解.文章通篇都在敘述有關"a honey guide"的事情,第一段通過敘述引出"a honey guide"中心詞;第二段敘述"a honey guide"獲取蜂膠的過程;第三段科學家們對"a honey guide"感到迷惑.

解答 60.B   細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段的"these nests are high up in trees,and it is difficult to find them.可知,這些蜂巢在樹的高處,發(fā)現(xiàn)它們是很困難的.也就是講它們隱藏在樹中.故選B.
61.C   細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段的"When they finally arrive at the nest,the follower reaches in to get the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches."可知,當它們到達了蜂巢,搜索者到達得到這個美味的蜂蜜.故選 C.
62.A   細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段的"Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax,but it is very determined (下決心) in its efforts to get it."可知,科學家們不知道為什么蜂蜜指導喜歡吃蜂膠,但下決心的努力得到它.故選A.
63.D   細節(jié)理解題.通過對文章的理解可知,主要介紹了一種幫助人們尋找到蜂蜜的鳥兒a honey guide的情況,故選D.

點評 解答細節(jié)理解題時,一個常用的方法就是運用定位法,即根據(jù)題干和選項中的關鍵詞從原文中找到相關的句子,與選項進行比較從而確定答案;推理判斷題既要求學生透過文章表面文字信息推測文章隱含意思,又要求學生對作者的態(tài)度、意圖及文章細節(jié)的發(fā)展作正確的推理判斷,力求從作者的角度去考慮,不要固守自己的看法或觀點.
