The honey guide does not actually like honey，but it does like the wax(蜂蜡)in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, r 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 falls 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.
1．Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?
A．It's small in size.
B．It's hidden in trees.s special in the way________．r
【语篇解读】 [细节理解题。根据文章第一段第四句Often以及第二段的第二句The little bird cannot reach this wax inside the bees' nest.可知，由于蜂房高居树上并且隐藏在树丛中，所以它们不容易被发现，因此B项正确。] [词义猜测题。对于画线部分的前一个句子Once it has their attention该句中them指the curious animal or person所以下句中的the follower也指的是the curious animal or person即“寻找蜂蜜者”所以C项正确。] [推理判断题。根据文章的描述蜂蜜向导鸟寻找蜂蜜是通过吸引人或动物来帮助它们得到自己需要的蜂蜡对于动物来讲它们懂得利用外力来达到自己的目的这种方式是很特别的。蜂蜜向导鸟通过这种方式找到自己的食物所以A项是正确的。] [标题概括题。本文主要介绍了蜂蜜向导鸟D项(蜂蜜爱好者的帮助者)意义正确。A项意为“野生蜜蜂”；B项意为“蜂蜡和蜂蜜”；C项意为“非洲养蜂”三者均不能表达出文章的主旨。]冲击“211”(长难句分析) to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest.
分析 句子的主干是：①...it flies through the forest状语从句：②Once_it_has_their_attention状语从句：③...as it leads them to the nest, 分词短语作状语。译文 ④一旦引起了他们的注意它就会飞越森林并且在引领他们朝蜂巢前行的途中它还会不时地停下来等一等这些好奇的动物或者人。分析 这是一个并列主从复合句主句They_will_arrive_and_will_enter_ churches。状语从句⑥...whenever_a_beekeeper_is_taking_honey；状语从句⑦...when_beeswax_candles_are_being_lit．译文 ⑧每当养蜂人从蜂箱采蜜的时候它们(小鸟)都会立刻到来而且每当蜂蜡在点着的时候它们都甚至飞进教堂。B 根据短文内容从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。__1__If we compare a human brain to a hard disc, what the scientists are doing is to make better use of the hard disc.
The idea that a human brain could be transplanted(移植)may come from Frankenstein.In 1999, (海豚)．__2__They were made of the memory area in the dolphin's brain containing information about swimming.They had a series of useful information, (芯片)．Later the information was transplanted into the action memory area in the bear's brain.__3__It proved to be a highly successful experiment and a bear was turned into a dolphin.__4__The transplant was performed from a dog named Cenius to a dog named Idiot.Cenius could follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master.It was a real genius in memorizing.However, Idiot had no contact with people since its birth.It became an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.
__5__When the two dogs woke up, Idiot had grasped all the abilities Cenius possessed；it was good at memorizing and sensible.It could follow every gesture and any command given by its master.But Cenius gave no response to its master, (释放)by means of electric power.rent meanings in the memory area.
E．Using the most advanced technology, detailed images were produced.
F．Discoveries show that messages are carried by the central nervous system in the brain.
G．One of the latest topics is how to change the human brain or combine it with the computer.
【语篇解读】 脑移植是人类在追求科技进步的路上一座难以攀登的高峰但是人类已经在这个领域取得了巨大进步。 [上一句的attracting more and more scientists in recent years和该项的how to change the human brain or combine it with the computer吻合说明人类对脑移植的兴趣从来就没有停止过。] [上一句的turned a bear into a dolphin和本项的carried by the central nervous system in the brain吻合说明物种的转变是通过脑移植完成的。] [上一句的transplanted into the action memory area in the bear's brain和该项的Then it was released(释放)by means of electric power是连环环节或者步骤。] [上一句的an entire transplant of the memory area和该项的included actions, 吻合说明这个记忆区的构成。] [the experiment was a complete success是对这个实验的总结说明脑移植取得了巨大的成功。本维C 书面表达在日常生活中人们对于体育锻炼所持的观点各不相同请你以“Health Means Wealth”为题写一篇100词左右的短文号召人们坚持健康积极的生活方式：每天锻炼一小时健康工作五十年幸福生活一辈子。注意：1.适当发挥想像不能逐句翻译；至少描述两个不同的观点或态度。___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【参考范文】eople hold the belief that if they are healthy，they will have everything.Some of the young and middle aged spend their holidays playing cards on online games，believing that they are healthy and there is no need for them to do sports.Some of them even continue to make more money，which means everything to them.
As far as I am concerned，I don't think what some of the people do in their spare time is right.Games and money cannot bring us real happiness and wealth.Health is the most important thing for us and it can help us to do something that we want to do.We should all remember：Exercise one hour a day
