18.Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big,tough African elephants running away,a new study says.Beehives (蜂窝)-either recorded or real-may even prevent elephants from damaging farmer's crops.
In 2002,scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them.Today,Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops.But before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms,she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.
Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder.Then she threw a stone into the beehive,which burst into life.Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down.Next,Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a close to each family.
From a distance,Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera.Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds.Out of a total of 17groups,only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees.Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them.When Lucy Played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families,the animals were undisturbed.Even after four minutes,most of the groups stayed in one place.
Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times.She hasn't tested enough groups yet to know,but her initial (最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers.She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.

60.We know from the passage that elephants may he frightened ofD.
A.loud noises    B.some crops
C.video cameras   D.angry bees
61.As mentioned in the passage,LucyB
A.works by herself in Africa
B.needs to test more elephant groups
C.has stopped elephants eating crops
D.has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms
62.Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive?A
A.To record the sound of bees.
B.To make a video of elephants.
C.To see if elephants would run away.
D.To find out more about the behavior of bees.
63.Which of the following is true according to the passage?C
A.Young elephants ignore African honeybees.
B.Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place.
C.Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them.
D.Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields.

分析 本文是说明文,一项最新的研究表明大象会害怕蜜蜂,为了让农民利用蜜蜂的声音防止大象破坏庄稼,Lucy做了实验,实验表明大象对于蜜蜂的声音是畏惧的,但是为了更有效的证明它的效果,Lucy还要进一步进行研究.

解答 60.D     细节理解题:根据文章第一段的第一个句子:Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big,toughAfrican elephants running away,a new study says.可知大象可能害怕愤怒的蜜蜂的声音.故选D.
61.B     细节理解题:根据文章最后一段的第二行的句子:She hasn't tested enough groups yet to know,but her initial(最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers.可知Lucy需要检测更多的大象群,故选B.
62.A     细节理解题:根据文章第三段的句子:Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya andset up a recorder.Then she threw a stone into the beehive,which burst intolife.可知Lucy向野生蜂窝扔石头,是让它们发疯从而记录下蜜蜂的声音,故选A.
63.C     细节理解题:根据文章第二段的第一句"In 2002,scientist Lucy King and her team found thatelephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them."可知,大象不会靠近有蜜蜂的树;根据倒数第二段的句子"Lucy reported that all the young elephantsimmediately ran to their mothers to hide under them."可知,小象也害怕蜜蜂;根据"When Lucy Played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead ofthe angry bees to many of the same elephant families,the animals wereundisturbed.Even after four minutes,most of the groups stayed in one place."可知,是瀑布的声音让大象呆在同样的地方,不是瀑布,而文章也没有说农民不让Lucy在他们的田地做实验.故选C.

点评 解答细节理解题时,一个常用的方法就是运用定位法,即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子,与选项进行比较从而确定答案;推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思,又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断,力求从作者的角度去考虑,不要固守自己的看法或观点.

10.The Netherlands on Monday introduced its first-ever"intelligent bicycle,fitted with electronic devices to help bring clown the high accident rate among elderly cyclists in the bicycle-mad country.
Developed for the government by the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO),the intelligent bicycle,runs on electricity.A commercial-available bicycle is expected to be on the market in the next two years and should sell for between 1,700 to 3,200 euros per bicycle.
The devices on the bike are linked through an onboard computer with a vibrating (震动的) warning system fitted in the bicycle's saddle and handlebars to warn cyclists of the coming danger.
The saddle vibrates when other cyclists approach from  behind,while,the handlebars do the same when barriers appear ahead.
"Accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get a fright when they are passed at high speed,"said Maurice Kwakkernaat,one of TNO's research scientists involved in the project."The onboard system technology has already been at work in the car industry,"he said.
''More and more elderly people are using a bicycle,not only for short distances,but also for longer distances,"Dutch Environment and Infrastructure Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen told AFP."This type of bicycle is truly needed in the Netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue to enjoy cycling,"she said.
In the Netherlands,bicycles outnumber the population of 17 million by at least one million and there are some 25,000 km of bicycle path in the country.Those statistics are set to grow as more and more people take to two-wheeled transport,leading to an increased risk of injury.
Last year,184 cyclists died in the country,of which 124,or 67%,were older than 65,according to the Central Statistics Office.The year before,200 cyclists died,the majority of victims also being elderly.
The current model weighs 25 kilograms but researchers are working on making the onboard systems smaller.
63.The intelligent bicycle is aimed toD.
A.protect the environment                 
B.help reduce traffic pressure
C.popularize the use of bicycles            
D.improve safety for elderly cyclists
64.Which part of the intelligent bicycle will vibrate when other cyclists approach it from behind?A
A.The saddle.                           
B.The wheels.
C.The handlebars.                       
D.The onboard computer.
65.We can learn from the passage thatD.
 A.the elderly ride bicycles wherever they go
 B.the elderly are planning to give up cycling
 C.the number of elderly cyclists is decreasing
 D.the accident rate among elderly cyclists is high
66.Which is the best title for the passage?C
 A.A Test Bicycle                         B.Elderly Cyclists
 C.A Smart Bicycle                        D.A Bicycle-mad Country.
