Question

13．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（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（份额）．
    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．

Answer 1

分析 本文是说明文，主要介绍了非洲森林里有一种很好吃的蜂蜜，但这种蜂巢在树的高处，很难发现他们．在非洲的部分地区，人和动物寻找蜂蜜有一个奇怪的和意想不到的助手--一种叫做蜂蜜向导的小鸟，它们能帮助人们找到蜂巢，但它们却不吃蜂蜜，科学家也不知道为什么蜂蜜向导喜欢吃蜡．

解答 28．A 细节理解题．根据第一段的these nests are high up in trees，and itis difficult to find them．可知，这些蜂巢在树的高处，发现他们是很困难的．所以很难发现蜂巢是因为它们隐藏在树中．故选A．
29．D 词义猜测题．根据When they finally arrive at the nest，thefollower reaches in to get the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits andwatches．可知，当它们到达蜂巢时，鸟儿耐心地等待和注视着，搜索者进入蜂巢获取美味的蜂蜜．所以此处指"找蜂蜜的搜素着"，故选D．
30．C 细节理解题．根据最后一段的Scientists do not know why the honey guide likeseating the wax，but it is very determined （下决心） in its efforts to get it．可知，科学家不知道为什么蜂蜜向导喜欢吃蜡，但对于它们努力得到它这一点是确定的．故选C．
31．B 主旨大意题．纵观全文可知，文章主要介绍了非洲森林里有一种很好吃的蜂蜜，但这种蜂巢在树的高处，很难发现他们．在非洲的部分地区，人和动物寻找蜂蜜有一个奇怪的和意想不到的助手--一种叫做蜂蜜向导的小鸟，它们能帮助人们找到蜂巢，但它们却不吃蜂蜜，只对蜂蜡感兴趣．所以文章的最佳标题是蜂蜜爱好者的助手，故选B．
