题目内容

【题目】George Max showed up in a well-maintained lorry. He brought some tools, such as something to light a fire with, a smoker, a long-handled brush, a metal hive(蜂箱)tool, and a hive. As George moved about, he said in a low and calm voice, “You’d be amazed how many people call me with a swarm(一大群)like this; and by the time I come, they’ve destroyed the whole thing, down to the last bee.”

George said this swarm of bees was breath-taking, about 15,000 bees. He placed the hive in a proper place. Holding the smoker close to the swarm, he pumped the bellows(风箱). Smoke has a calming effect on bees. George said this group was easy to deal with. They were heavy with honey, and their main purpose was to hold the group together until they could find a new hive.

He went on smoking the swarm and let the bees pour into the hive. Most bees would only follow the queen to a new living place (yes, she has ladies-in-waiting that tend her every need). By dusk, most of the bees had disappeared into the hive.

“Alright, it appears that we’ve got them all,” I looked hopefully in George’s direction. He paused. “If you don’t mind, we’ll wait a bit longer,” he said. “They have sent out scout bees, and I want to be sure we don’t leave any behind.” So we waited. And, look! Scout bees returned.

If the hive is healthy, the population of bees will be on the increase. When the queen senses that it’s time for the hive to split, she will lose weight so she can fly, and then leave the hive with a large part of the bees. The bees left behind will hurry to hatch another queen and rebuild.

If some day you come across a swarm of bees in your backyard, call in a local beekeeper. Then sit back and enjoy the show. Get your camera, because you’ll want to share this amazing phenomenon with everyone you know, especially children. And if you’ve gone this far, you might as well buy a hive of your own. We did.

【1】George thought the bees weren’t difficult to handle mainly because ______.

A. they were in huge quantity

B. his smoke had a healing effect on them

C. the bees were keeping together the group

D. they didn't need a new hive

【2】George wanted to wait a little longer because ______．

A. there might be some bees that hadn’t come back

B. those bees which he had sent away didn’t return

C. the longer he stayed, the more honey he’d collect

D. the queen hadn’t turned up

【3】We can infer from the last but one paragraph______．

A. the queen must keep fit to control others

B. the queen will leave if she finds no one supports her

C. fatty queens are not welcome in a hive

D. there is only one queen in a hive

【4】How is the whole passage mainly developed?

A. By analyzing causes.

B. By giving examples.

C. By giving descriptions.

D. By making comparisons.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】D

【4】C

【解析】本文属于说明文，主要向我们介绍了George使用烟熏的方法以及多样工具来驱使蜂群回巢的过程，也与我们分享了有关蜂巢中只能有一个女王的现象，最后告诉我们如果下次遇到一群蜜蜂，只需让蜜蜂管理员来处理，我们只要享受观看这一奇妙的现象即可。

【1】细节理解题，根据第二段“They were heavy with honey, and their main purpose was to hold the group together until they could find a new hive.它们身负蜂蜜，身体很重。它们的主要目的是保持全体在一起，直到找到一个新的蜂巢。”可知这群蜜蜂不难对付的原因是它们在保持这群蜜蜂全体在一起，故选C.

【2】细节理解题，根据第四段““They have sent out scout bees, and I want to be sure we don’t leave any behind.”它们已经派出了蜜蜂童子军，我要确保我们不落下任何一只蜜蜂。”可知，George想要再等一会的原因是还有一些蜜蜂没回来，故选A.

【3】推理判断题，根据倒数第二段，可知：如果一个蜂巢的蜜蜂数量过多，那么就有必要分巢，此蜂巢的女王就会带着一大部分蜜蜂飞走，剩下的蜜蜂会再孕育出一个新的女王，从而重建一个蜂巢，由此可推断出一个蜂巢只能有一个女王，故选D.

【4】推理判断题，由于本文是一篇说明文，主要向我们介绍了George使用烟熏的方法以及多样工具来驱使蜂群回巢的过程，也与我们分享了有关蜂巢中只能有一个女王的现象，最后告诉我们如果下次遇到一群蜜蜂，只需让蜜蜂管理员来处理，我们只要享受观看这一奇妙的现象即可。所以全文主要是以陈述的方式展开的，故选C.

【题目】A Canine Reading Buddy

Dogs and people have developed a special bond over time. Recently, however, some dogs have taken a different role in people’s lives—therapy dogs.

【1】 Some therapy dogs visit patients in hospitals or nursing homes, while others visit children in schools and libraries. They are there to help children become better readers.

Reading programs that use therapy dogs have been in existence for more than ten years. All therapy dogs of this program are registered with an organization that tests the dogs to make sure they have the right personality for the job.

【2】 Both the dogs and the handlers are volunteers with the reading program.

At the start of a reading therapy session, a child and a dog are introduced. The pair is allowed to settle down in a quiet corner together. 【3】 An adult handler stays nearby but generally lets the dog perform its job without interfering(干涉). Sometimes, a handler may ask a question that encourages the child to work with the dog to help the child feel more comfortable.

Not every child will be able to be part of a reading therapy program that uses dogs. A few children might be allergic to dogs or afraid of them; some children might have cultural traditions that prevent them from touching a dog. 【4】

Reading therapy programs inspire learning and change. 【5】 They spend time with human friends. For dogs that love human companionshiop and a quiet place to rest, being part of a reading therapy program can be a great way to spend a few hours each day. The readers benefit too, gaining confidence and learning that reading aloud can be a relaxing experience.

A. How do the therapy dogs benefit from it?

B. But therapy animals also serve in many other areas.

C. As the child reads, the dog usually lies quietly and listens.

D. When reading to an animal, some children may become relaxed.

E. In these circumstances, other animals are available, such as cats and parrots.

F. A therapy dog is more of a companion and is trained to help people in different ways.

G. A dog’s handler also takes a class and must pass a test to work in the therapy program.

【题目】One day while walking along the bank of a river, a rabbit couple saw a wounded(受伤的) ant lying unconsciously(没有直觉地) on the grass. The rabbit couple gently put the ant on the leaf of a nearby plant. She soon recovered(恢复) and saw the rabbit couple sitting beside her.

The ant remembered that she had found herself under the foot of a cat by chance and fainted(晕倒). She asked how she reached the leaf top. The rabbit couple told her what had happened. The ant thanked them and said she would help them when they needed help.

The rabbit couple went further up the river to enjoy the bright sun. They had been there many times and would spend many hours playing and relaxing in the sun.

One fine day, the couple were again on their way to the river while the ant was playing on the leaf of a tree. She saw the rabbit couple walking towards the river.

The lion saw the rabbits sleeping, and started walking quietly to attack them.

Realizing the hazard getting close to the rabbits, the ant jumped from the leaf to the lion’s shoulder and bit(咬) the lion’s back. The lion cried out in pain, waking the rabbit couple. The rabbits ran away quickly and the ant jumped off the lion’s back into the grass.

【题目】阅读理解。

Most people watching Jeremy Lin these past two months saw Jeremy Lin，New York Knicks star；but I，watching him，saw someone else.That was my elder brother，Bob，who is athletic and energetic. He could never sit still when he was in second grade；he had to get up every now and then and run around the room.And sure enough，he grew up to be a starting player for an NCAA championship lacrosse (长曲棍球) team.He was a Nikeendorsed marathoner，too，and reached the top of Mt.Everest，unguided，in his 50s.

And yet my family never watched his lacrosse games.We did watch some of his marathons，but that wasn’t until he was in his 20s.When Bob was in his glory days，our Shanghaineseborn parents were bent on getting him into medical school.There was a loving aspect to it：I can remember my father working through math books with him，lesson by lesson，at the big blackboard in the attic.Bob never did become a doctor，though；and neither did I．It wasn’t until my younger sister came along that someone in the family finally wore a white coat.

Bob today could be the fittest 58yearold on the planet.His doctor estimates his biological age at 35；he’s still big mountains in the Himalayas.And，like Jeremy Lin，he’s charming.No one sees Bob without leaving with a laugh.He sometimes jokes he could be mayor of his building，and it’s true.To know him is to cheer for him.

And yet my parents did not cheer for him.What if my mother had sat on the sidelines with her statistics，like Jeremy Lin’s mother？What if my father had played videos of athletes for my brother to watch and imitate？It’s hard not to wonder.

And how did Jeremy Lin’s parents manage to do these remarkable things？Amy Chua，the tiger mother，recalls her immigrant father beating the kids whenever they mispronounced a Chinese word.How is it that Jeremy Lin’s immigrant father in particular，GieMing Lin，encouraged his son to follow such an untraditional path?

【1】Bob’s glory days were those ________.

A．when he was doing well in math

【3】Which of the following statements is probably TRUE?

A．Bob was always ignored by his parents.

B．Bob could also have been a sport star.

C．Bob’s parents often watched his games.

D．Nobody in the author’s family was a doctor.

【4】From the last two paragraphs we can infer that ________.

A．parents should always study together with their children

B．parents should know how to educate their children properly

C．children should be punished when they do anything wrong

D．children should try to live up to the hopes of their parents
