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(蠟) 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 tot he nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always fall 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 (下決心) 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(養(yǎng)蜂者) is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.

試題分析： 蜂蜜在非洲森林不僅是一種天然糖,也很好吃。大多數(shù)人來說,和許多動物,喜歡吃它。然而,他們的唯一途徑,蜂蜜是找到一種野生蜜蜂巢,蜂蜜。通常,這些巢穴在樹高,很難找到他們。在非洲的部分地區(qū),人們和動物尋找蜂蜜有一個(gè)奇怪的和意想不到的助手——一只小鳥叫蜂蜜引導(dǎo)�？茖W(xué)家們不知道為什么蜂蜜指導(dǎo)喜歡吃蠟,但下決心的努力得到它。鳥兒似乎能聞到從遠(yuǎn)處的蠟。很快就會到達(dá),每當(dāng)一個(gè)養(yǎng)蜂者正在從他的蜂箱蜂蜜,和甚至?xí)M(jìn)入教堂時(shí)蜂蠟蠟燭被點(diǎn)燃。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：為什么去發(fā)現(xiàn)蜂巢是困難的？分析原句： these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them.句意：這些蜂巢在樹的高處，發(fā)現(xiàn)他們是很困難的。也就是講它們隱藏在樹中。故選B
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：在第二段的劃線單詞是什么意思？分析原句： When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. 句意：當(dāng)它們到達(dá)了蜂巢，搜索者到達(dá)得到這個(gè)美味的蜂蜜。故選 C
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：蜂蜜引導(dǎo)用這種特殊的方式做什么？分析原句： Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined (下決心) in its efforts to get it. 句意：科學(xué)家們不知道為什么蜂蜜指導(dǎo)喜歡吃蠟,但下決心的努力得到它。故選A
小題4:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：文章的最佳題目是什么？通過對文章的理解與分析只有第四項(xiàng)符合題意。故選D

No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world, but the number may be over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.
In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people. As we get older, many of us will become less mobile (可動的) , hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.
Disablement can take many forms and happen at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people’s attitude(態(tài)度) towards them.
　　Disabled people face many physical barriers(障礙). Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine what would you do if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. What would you do if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice(偏見)can be even harder to break down and ignorance (無知) represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully understand what the disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person(個(gè)人) and their ability, not their disability, which counts.
小題1:The first paragraph points out that ___________.
A．it is possible to get an exact number of the world’s disabled people
B．there are many disabled people in the world
C．the number of disabled people in India is the greatest
D．India has not much more disabled people than Canada
小題2:The key word in Paragraph 4 is ___________.
A．barriers B．disabledC．disability D．prejudice
小題3: Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．There are about 10 percent disabled persons in the UK.
B．The whole society should pay more attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.
C．Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.
D．There is still prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignorance.
小題4:It can be concluded（推斷）from the passage that ___________.
A．we should try our best to prevent disablement
B．we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled
C．the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled
D．both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down

Bananas don’t grow on trees. They grow on a stalk that looks just a little like a stalk of corn. The stalk is soft enough to be cut with a knife.

It takes about a year before bananas are ready to be picked. Some are as small as fingers. Others are as long as men’s arms. Some banana plants grow as tall as a house – even taller!
Not all bananas are eaten as fruit. Some never get sweet, and they are cooked as a kind of vegetable.
People in most countries never see a banana until it reaches the store. But if you visited a country where it’s hot and rains a lot all the year, you might see a banana plantation, a large farm where bananas grow.
The tasty fruit doesn’t come from a seed but from a root planted deep in the ground. First a stalk pushes up into the air. The leaves grow. In the beginning the banana plant grows very fast – sometimes as much as the length of your feet in one night. Soon, sweet-smelling flowers come out, and when their flowers drop off, bananas begin to grow.
As they get bigger, bananas start turning up. It looks as if they’re growing upside down! Bananas are ready to eat when they turn soft and yellow. Bananas are picked long before this – when they’re hard and green. This is because bananas have to travel many miles before they arrive at a store. On trucks and boats and trains bananas travel all over the world. There are special boats just for bananas and special trains that keep them just cool enough so that they will get ripe while traveling. If bananas are picked when they are ripe (成熟的), they will spoil on the way.
小題1:What’s the weather like in places where bananas grow?
A．Dry and coldB．Cold and wetC．Wet and hotD．Hot and dry
小題2:The fruit of banana plants come from________.
A．a(chǎn) stalkB．a(chǎn) treeC．a(chǎn) seedD． a root
小題3:Bananas are picked long before they are _____________.
A．greenB．ripeC．hardD．red
小題4:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．All bananas are eaten as fruit.
B．Some banana plants grow taller than a house.
C．Bananas get ripe on their way to the store.
D．It takes about a year before bananas are ready to be picked.

The world is not hungry , but it is thirsty . It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can't drink or use for watering plants directly. Man can only drink and use the 3% - the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can't even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted .
　　Now more water is needed. The problem is: Can we avoid (避免) a serious water shortage later on? First, we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it . Scientists have always been making studies in the field. Today, in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers . But it can be used again. Even if every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next?
　　The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive, but it's already used in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see, if we can find a way out, we'll be in no danger of drying up.

A．3% of water on the earth is in rivers and lakes.
B．75% of water on the earth is the sea.

小題3:From the passage we learn _________.
A．if every city reuses its water, we'll be in no danger of drying up
B．man can only drink and use about 25% of water on the earth
C．today in most large cities water is used only once
D．water can be used only once
小題4:To avoid the serious water shortage , which of the following is the most important?
A．Save water and try to make good use of the water in rivers and lakes.

I study in a junior high school . I think students shouldn’t be allowed to surf the Internet . Surfing the Internet wastes a lot of time , so the students spend less time doing their homework . Also many students lose themselves in playing the computer games . In their minds , games are everything and they keep on playing the games for hours . That’s too bad for their study and their health .
Jimmy
  I don’t agree with Tracy . In my opinion , surfing the Internet can help us a lot . For example , I often get help from the Internet . I’m weak in learning English . When I have trouble in learning English, I can get on line to ask for help . Always I can get the answers soon . In this way , I have made great progress .Thanks to the Internet .
 Jeff
   Yes , I have the same opinion as Jimmy . My son , Bob studies very hard . After hours of working hard , he usually feels tired . If he goes on with his study , he will feel stressed out . So I often ask him to surf the Internet to listen to some light music . It can help him relax and he will study better later on .
