Question

【題目】Honeybees can do three kinds of jobs.

It is one of the most unusual insects in the world. Bees are special because they divide up their honeybee work. Each bee has a certain job to do.

The busiest bee is the worker. Workers build the nest, called a hive. Inside the hive, workers make a honeycomb from wax(蜂蠟). They store honey there for food. Workers are always cleaning and fixing the hive. They even stand at the opening and fan their wings to cool the hive. Worker bees will attack anything—even people—to keep their hive safe, if need.

Another kind of bee is the drone(雄蜂). Drones are male bees, and their job is to fly with the queen bee and mate with her. After the queen mates, the worker bees drive the drones away. The drones then starve to death.

The third kind of bee is the queen. Each hive needs only one queen, and her job is laying eggs. She can lay as many as 2, 000 eggs a day.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】C

【4】B

【解析】蜜蜂是世界上最不尋常的昆蟲之一，蜜蜂可以做三種不同的工作。每個蜜蜂都有固定的工作去做。最忙碌的是工蜂，它們筑巢，另一種是雄峰，它們的任務就是和蜂王一起飛舞并交配。第三種蜜蜂是蜂王。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。由“Workers build the nest, called a hive. ”可知工人筑巢，稱為蜂巢。故選A。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。由“ Workers are always cleaning and fixing the hive. They even stand at the opening and fan their wings to cool the hive”工蜂總是打掃和修理蜂箱。他們甚至站在開幕式和風扇的翅膀冷卻蜂巢�？芍�他們清洗蜂房，保持涼爽。故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。由“After the queen mates, the worker bees drive the drones away. The drones then starve to death”在女王交配后，工蜂把雄蜂驅逐出去。然后雄峰餓死，可知雄峰在蜂巢中已經沒用了，它的使命完成了，故選C。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。A. are very dangerous insects，是非常危險的昆蟲，文中沒有提及，根據我們的常識也可知這是錯誤的。B. will attack anything or anyone to protect the hive, if necessary如果需要的話，會攻擊任何人或任何人來保護蜂巢，由“ Worker bees will attack anything—even people—to keep their hive safe, if need.”可知如果需要的話，工蜂會攻擊任何人或任何人來保護蜂巢，故B正確。C. are like any other insect that flies像其他任何昆蟲飛，只有雄峰的工作是和蜂王一起飛，錯誤。D.eat each other as food互食，由“They store honey there for food. ”可知他們把蜂蜜儲存在那里吃。故錯誤。故選B。
