本文讲述了一个人的后车轮附近藏着一只蜂王,导致一群蜜蜂追随它的汽车的故事。
1. B。这里指的是人与昆虫的区别,注意下文提到的the former(前者)和the latter(后者)是在对两者的不同作比较。
2. C。根据常识可知,偷乘车辆或船只的人通常都会尽量不让人发现。make effort to do sth 固定词组,“尽力做做某事”,make every possible effort to do sth 的意思是“尽一切可能做某事”
3. D。句中的while 表对比。前面说偷乘车辆或船只的人通常都会尽量不让人发现,而“偷”乘车辆或船只的昆虫则不同,怎么个不同?那就是它们会draw attention (引起注意)。
4. A。根据下文可知,这个人很不走运。
5. C。指从一个山村出发去伦敦。比较:set out 出发,动身;pass by从……旁经过;leave out 遗漏,漏掉;get up起床。
6. B。根据文章最后一段倒数第2句He found the unwelcome passenger hidden near the wheels at the back. of the car 可知,此处应填 back。
7. D。指司机听到从车后面传来有奇怪的声音,所以他就下车来检查(examine)一下,看是什么原因。
8. B。既然通过检查没有发现什么问题,所以他就继续(continue)赶路。
9. D。比较:immediately 立即,马上;normally 正常地;gently轻柔地;actually实际上。由于是一种奇怪的声音,并且他几次下车查看,说明这种声音不算normally;又由于后面说…became even louder,说明它不gently;actually 在此不合语境。故选D,指车一开动,又马上出现了那种声音。
10. B。由于声音是从后面传来的,所以当司机再一次听到这种声音时,他马上回过头来看。比较:turn one’s head 转头,调头;hide one’s head 藏起某人的头;shake one’s head 摇头;raise one’s head 抬起头。
11. A。根据下文可知,跟在车后的是一群蜜蜂,作者把它形容成一团乌云,故用black。
12. C。根据上下文语境可知,这群蜜蜂不是在车底,不是在附近,也不是前面,而是在车后面。
13. D。司机尽量把车开快希望能甩掉其后的蜜蜂,这样的的驾驶肯定很hard。
14. A。根据下文提到a customer 可排除B、C、D。
15. D。It was not long before... 是固定句型,其意为“不久以后”。
16. C。因为这位看见他停车的顾客发现他的车上满是蜜蜂,所以就匆忙匆忙(hurried)进来告诉他。
17. B。比较:be crowded with 挤满了……;be covered with 被……所覆盖;be filled with装满……;be equipped with 由……所装备。根据语境,只有B较合适。
18. A。advise sb that… 意为“建议某人……”,此处用的是该结构的被动式,其意为“有人建议他……”。
19. A。要对付这批蜜蜂,显然只有bee-keeper(养蜂人)最合适。。
20. C。比较:unexpected 想不到的,未预料到;unfamiliar 不熟悉的;unknown不知道的;uncertain不确定的。对于一个bee-keeper 来说,突然得到这么多蜜蜂,当然属于 unexpected了。

The Book of Life
So far,scientists have named about 1.8 million living species(物种),and that’s just a small number of what probably exists on Earth.With so many plants,animals,and other living things covering the planet,it can be tough to figure out what type of grass is growing by the roadside or what kind of bird just flew by.
A soon-to-be-started Web site might help.An international team of researchers has announced the creation of Web-based Encyclopedia(百科全书) of Life(EoL).The project aims to list every species on Earth in a single,easy-to-use reference guide.
To get the encyclopedia started,the creators will use information from scientific databases(数据库) that already exist.And eventually,in special sections of the site,non-scientists with specialized knowledge will come to help.Bird-watchers,for example,will be able to input what birds they’ve seen and where.To make sure the encyclopedia is accurate,scientists will review much of the information added to it.
As the EoL develops,you might find it useful for school projects.The site will feature(以……为特色)_____special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems in their neighborhoods.Another convenient feature of the EoL is that you’ll be able to pick the level of detail you want to see to match your interests,age,and knowledge.
It now takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to describe and analyze species.The creators of the Encyclopedia of Life hope that their new fool will speed up that process.

My friend John always has something to tell me. He knows so much that 1 men have to have older and more worldly wise men to tell them, 2, who to trust, how to care for others and how to live life 3 the fullest.
Recently, John lost his 4 Janet. For eight years she fought against cancer, but in the end her sickness had the last 5. One day John took out a folded piece of 6 from his wallet. He had found it, so he told me, when he 7 up some drawers at home.
It was a 8 love letter Janet had written. The note could look like a school girl’s scrawls(潦草地写,乱涂) about her dream guy. 9 the letter was written by a woman who had had seven children, a woman who fought for her life and who 10 only had a few months left to live.
It was 11处方,食谱) for how to keep a marriage together. Janet’s 12of her husband begins like this, “Loved me. Took care of me. Worried about me.”
“Helped me when I was ill.” The next 13 reads. After that she turned 14the paper and added “Warmth. Humor. Kindness. Thoughtfulness.” And then she writes about the husband she has 15with and loved most in her life. “16there when I needed you.” The last words she wrote 17 all the others. I can see her for me when she added thoughtfully “Good friend.”
I stand beside John now, and cannot pretend to know how it feels to lose someone who is as close to 18 as Janet was to him. I need to 19 what he has to say much more than he needs to talk.
“John,” I ask. “How do you stick together with someone through 38 years—not to mention the sickness? How do I know 20I can bear to stand by my wife’s side if she becomes sick one day?”
“You can.” he says quietly, “ If you love her enough, you can.”

One day the employees of a large company in St.Louis, Missouri returned from their lunch break.They were 1 with a sign on the front door which said: “Yesterday the person who has been 2 your growth in this company passed away.We invite you to join the 3 in the room that has been prepared in the gym.”
At first everyone was 4 to hear that one of their colleagues had died, 5 after a while they started getting 6 about who this person might be.
The excitement 7 as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their 8 respects.Everyone wondered: “Who is this person that was in the way of my progress? Well, 9 he’s no longer here!”
10 the employees got closer to the coffin (棺材) and when they looked inside it they became 11.They stood over the coffin, 12 and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their 13.
There was a 14 inside the coffin: Everyone who looked inside it would see 15.There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: “There is 16 one person in this world who is really capable of setting 17 to your growth: it’s YOU.”
Yes! You are the only person who can help yourself.You are the only person who can 18 your happiness and your success.Your life changes when you change, when you go 19 your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one 20 for your life.

In a small open courtyard, outside a school building, there were flowers here and there. In the sunshine, a 1was lying on the grass, reading a book with 2concentration. Near her, another child was carefully watering the flowers, while a third was3with his back against a tree and had a 4on his knees. He appeared to be drawing or writing something on it. He was 5in his task, like the first child.
6the building, there were pleasant carpeted areas. Many children were busy with their tasks in a variety of 7, while teachers wandered among them, talking to them, 8them, and encouraging their efforts.
9I watched this scene on a morning in May years ago, it 10to me that a visitor here would11 have thought be had entered a formal school. He would have been even more12if he had been told that the children he was13came from different kinds of academic levels.
That14has been staying with me ever since. I have been15about some problems. Why in many schools are our children16asked to acquire skills in a way 17from a real-life context(情境)? Why does a18school child so often become a defeated school failure?
Developmental psychologist Margaret Donald once said,”19of the intellectual framework (知识框架) on which we20our teaching is misleading.” In my opinion, a child learns everything in human situation. And if every child could learn in the same way as the children in the school I visited, they would develop better.

Nearly twenty years has passed, I still remember my favourite professor, James Sehwartz. And almost all his students are his friends, and almost all his students know his life story.
When James was a teenager, his father1him to a fur (毛皮)factory where he worked . This was during the Great Depression(大萧条). The2was to get James a job.
He entered the factory, and immediately felt as if the walls had closed in around him. The room was dark and hot, the windows covered with dust, and the3were packed tightly together, running like trains. The fur hairs were flying,4the air thicker, and the workers, sewing the pieces of fur together, were bent over their needles5the boss marched up and down the rows, shouting and forcing them to go faster. James could hardly6. He stood next to his father, frozen with fear, hoping the boss wouldn’t7at him, either.
During lunch break, his father took James to the boss and pushed him in front of him,8if there was any work for his son. But unfortunately, the answer was “no”, because at that time no one would9 it up once he takes a job.
However, for James, it was a blessing(福气) . He hated the place. He made a(an)10that he would never do any work that brought11to someone else, and that he would never allow himself to12money from others who would lose their jobs for him.
“What will you do?” his mother , Eva , would ask him.
“I don’t know,” he would say. He ruled out(排除)law, because he didn’t like13, and he ruled out medicine , because he couldn’t take the14of blood.
15 , my best professor became a teacher, he thought it was the job not to hurt anybody.
