5.Honey(蜂蜜)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(巢)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一a little bird called a honey guide.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,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.

分析 本文是一篇说明文.文章介绍了非洲森林里的一种奇特的鸟(蜂蜜向导)的独特掠食方式,它们能帮助人和动物找到蜂蜜,待到他们吃掉蜂蜜后,它再吃蜂蜡.科学家们对此也感到迷惑不解.
解答 60.B 细节理解题.根据文章第一段中"Often,these nests are high up in trees,and it is difficult to find them."可知,这些蜂巢在树的高处,发现他们是很困难的,也就是讲它们隐藏在树中.故选B.
61.C 判断推理题.根据文章第二段中"it flies through the forest,waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest"可知,蜂蜜向导引着好奇的动物和人到蜂巢,好奇的动物和人就是跟随者,因此这里划线部分是指寻找蜂蜜的人或动物们,故选C.
62.A 判断推理题.根据文章最后一段"Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax,but it is very determined in its efforts to get it"可知,科学家们都不知道为什么这种蜂蜜向导鸟对蜂蜡感兴趣,当然他们获得蜂蜡的方式也更加特别.故选A.
63.D 推理判断题.通过对文章的理解可知,主要介绍了帮助人们和动物寻找到蜂蜜的鸟儿"a honey guide"的情况,故选D.
