　　课时作业(三十二)　[选修7　Unit 2 Robots](限时：35分钟)阅读理解[2012·课标全国卷] ar, 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 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.

Adds Heisler, “Instead of doing some skilful，over­produced photographs，I wanted something more authentic to the experience of being a father.” This isn't the first time that Heisler，39，has conveyed complex ideas for the cover of ，ranging from Olympic athlete Jackie Joyner­Kersee and director Davis Lynch to former President George Bush and Ted Turner for “Man of the Year” issues in 1991 and 1992，respectively.But this week's ，he says，because he and his wife had their first child，Lucy，16 months ago.，he observed many warm moments of parenting by spending a lot of private time with each dad and child.Of all the pictures，Lowe was most deeply touched by the father­to­be embracing his pregnant wife.ose behind the camera，cover coordinator(协调者) Linda Freeman and assistant picture editor Mary Worrell Bousquette，who work behind the scenes，also deserve praise.Freeman，for instance，had the challenging task of making arrangements for the group portrait of child movie stars that appears on page 62. She says, “My greatest reward is working with these talented artists.”Bousquette edited the pictures that appear inside.“I wanted our story to show the many faces of fatherhood，”she says.At least in this issue，those fathers are seen as well as heard.

　　参考答案

　　课时作业(三十二)有一种鸟，能轻易找到蜂蜜，并借助人或其他动物的帮助，得到自己喜欢的蜂蜡。B　细节理解题。根据第一段的“Often，these nests are high up in trees，and it is difficult to find them.”可知答案。野蜂窝难找是因为它通常都是隐藏在很高的树上。　词义猜测题。画线词指的是前面的passing animals and people或the curious animal or person，这些动物或人都是来找蜂蜜的，故C项正确。A　推理判断题。这种蜂蜜向导的特殊之处就在于它们获得食物的方式与众不同。根据第二段的叙述可知，这种鸟以一种蜂蜡为食，但是这种蜂蜡在蜂窝的深处，它们够不到，于是它们便找来喜欢蜂蜜的帮手相助。　标题判断题。本文主要讲述的是非洲森林里的一种奇特的动物——一种蜂蜜向导，它们帮助喜爱蜂蜜的人或其他动物寻找蜂蜜，并得到自D项既概括了全文主旨，又不失风趣，helper一词很传神。为了得到不同的食物，人、动物和鸟儿互相帮助，各取所需。在哺育和关爱孩子的过程中，父亲不应该袖手旁观，而要负起该负的责任。　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Several clearly oppose the outdated idea of fathers as detached (使分开) from the parenting process and that's just what the photographers intended”可知，《时代》的摄影师们认为Oscar Wilde的观点已经过时了。　推理判断题。根据文章开头“‘Fathers should be neither seen nor heard，’wrote Oscar Wilde.‘This is the only proper basis for family life.'”可推知，Oscar Wilde认为在家庭生活中，父亲要和B项。　细节理解题。从第三段中的“Although Lowe has not experienced fatherhood yet，he observed many warm moments of parenting by spending a lot of private time with each dad and child.”可以看出，Lowe通过观察那些父亲和孩子在一起的温馨时刻来获得灵感。　正误判断题。由第二段中的“This isn't the first time that…some 20 times”可知A项正确。由第四段的第一句可知B项错误；由第三段的最后一句可知C项错误；通读全文可知，D项在文中没有信息支持，故可排除。　25.attend　26.which　27.designed　28.at　30.emergencies　31.doctor　32.like　33.own

　　最近，你班试行在课间播放音乐，同学们对此私下议论，看法不一。请你根据下表的信息，给你班的班主任Mr Edward 写一封信，客观地介绍大家的看法。

　　部分同学认为 

　　1.播放音乐能活跃气氛  1.课间时间太短，播放音乐达不到预期效果  

　　2.能使大脑得到放松，减轻学习的疲劳  2.课间需要的是安静，而不是嘈杂的声音 

　　3.它能给大家带来欢乐和美的享受  3.有时上课后还沉浸在课间的音乐中 

　　One possible version:

　　Dear Mr Edward,

　　Recently we have carried out the practice to play music during the class break, and the students have had many private talks about it. Their opinions mainly fall into two groups. Most of us agree that music should be played. As we know, music can produce a lively and happy atmosphere. Besides, music brings us relaxation after hard study, which reduces the tiredness. Listening to music also makes us feel happy and nice. On the other hand, some students don't think so. In their opinion, they can't get the expected result by playing music, as the break between classes is too short. What is needed during the break is peace instead of noise produced by the music. In addition, in class some students are still lost in the music they have heard during the break.
