15、解 Honey(蜂蜜 )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(巢 )and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is
16、 difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper一 a little bird called a honey guide. The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax (蜂蜡 ) in the beehives (蜂房 ). The little bird cannot reach this wa
17、x, 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 curi
18、ous animal or people 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. Scient
19、ists 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

22、 had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio(影棚 )to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our act would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things. We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the
23、 edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of
24、 the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in snow. Two more fans were turned on, and a strong wind blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold. The ne
25、xt scene was a complete contrast (对比 ). The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures in front taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen (幕 ). An actor and actress stood of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the waters edge on an island. By a simple trick like
26、this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio! Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film stars! 【小题 1】 Who is the author
27、 A A cameraman. B A film director. C A crowd-scene actor. D A workman for scene setting. 【小题 2】 What made the author feel cold A The heavy snowfall. B The man-made scene. C The low temperature. D The film being shown. 【小题 3】 What would happen in the three minutes mentioned in the last paragraph A A
28、new scene would be filmed. B More stars would act in the film. C The author would leave the studio. D The next scene would be prepared. 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 2】 B 【小题 3】 A Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg， distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind
29、a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient. At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, rig
30、ht and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction. I started wondering why I refused to run the light I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman a
31、round, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it. Much later that night, the question of why Id stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because its part of a contract(契约 )we all have with each other. Its not only the law, but it is an agreement we have, and
32、we trust each other to honor it: we dont go through red lights. Trust is our first inclination(倾向 ).Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互 )trust, not distrust. We do what we say well do; we show up when we say well show up; and
33、we pay when we say well pay. We trust each other in these matters, and were angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them. I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night. 【小题 1】 Why did the author get impatient while driving A He was
34、lonely on the road. B He was slowed down by a truck. C He got tired of driving too long. D He came across too many traffic lights. 【小题 2】 What was the authors immediate action when the traffic light turned red A Stopping still. B Driving through it. C Looking around for other cars. D Checking out fo
35、r traffic police. 【小题 3】 The event made the author strongly believe that _. A traffic rules may be unnecessary B doubting others is human nature C patience is important to drivers D a society needs mutual trust 【小题 4】 Why was the author proud of himself A He kept his promise. B He held back his ange
36、r. C He followed his inclination. D He made a right decision. 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 2】 A 【小题 3】 D 【小题 4】 D Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim
37、 as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins Twinkle, twinkle, little star or reme
38、mber the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears. One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试 ) increase the length of time we will remember it. In childhood we usually continue to practice su
39、ch skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as Twinkle, twinkle, little star and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn. The multiplication tables(
40、乘法口诀表 ) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习 )for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a s
41、atisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for ones future development. 【小题 1】 What is th
42、e main idea of paragraph 1 A People remember well what they learned in childhood. B Children have a better memory than grown-ups. C Poem reading is a good way to learn words. D Stories for children are easy to remember. 【小题 2】 The author explains the law of overlearning by_. A presenting research fi
43、ndings B setting down general rules C making a comparison D using examples 【小题 3】 According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_. A a result of overlearning B a special case of cramming C a skill to deal with math problems D a basic step towards advanced studies 【小题 4】 What doe
44、s the word they in Paragraph 4 refer to A Commonly accepted rules. B The multiplication tables. C Things easily forgotten. D School subjects. 【小题 5】 What is the authors opinion on cramming A It leads to failure in college exams. B Its helpful only in a limited way. C Its possible to result in poor m
45、emory. D It increases students learning interest. 答案： 【小题 1】 A 【小题 2】 D 【小题 3】 A 【小题 4】 B 【小题 5】 B Are you looking for some new and exciting places to take your kids (孩子 ) to Try some of these places: l Visit art museums.

48、iscover the secret about performing arts. Puppet(木偶 )making and stage make-up are just a couple of the special offerings you might find. l Try hands-on science. Visit one of the many hands-on science museums around the country. These science play-lands are great fun for kids and grown-ups alike. Theyll keep your child mentally and physically active the whole day through while pushing buttons, experimenting, and building.
