Question

【題目】 Most bees are brown, hairy and 8 to 22 mm long. Bees live as part of a large family. Over 25,000 kinds of bees have been found. Among all of them, honey bees are the most common.

Honey bees always live in groups called hives（蜂群） Each hive has a queen, drones（雄蜂）and workers（工蜂）. Like a human society, each bee in a hive knows its own job.

The queen is the largest bee. She doesn’t go out to work, but lays eggs. Sometimes a queen can lay 3, 000 eggs in a day.

Drones do not collect food from flowers. They are the queen’s husbands. When there’s not much food, drones are often kicked out of the hive.

Workers are the smallest and busiest bees. A colony can have 50,000 to 60,000 workers. They collect food for the queen and babies. They guard the hive and help to keep it cool by fanning their wings. A worker only lives for 28 to 35 days.

To collect a pound of honey, a bee may have to fly a long way. Sometimes it is equivalent to（相當(dāng)于） twice around the world. Bees have to visit more than 10,000 flowers to make a pound of honey.

【1】______________ kinds of bees have been found.

A.Over 25, 000B.Over 3,000C.Less than 25,000D.Less than 3,000

【2】What does the queen do in a hive?

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】B

【4】C

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了蜜蜂。蜜蜂是蜂中最常見的一個品種。它們總是以蜂群的形式生活。蜜蜂在蜂群中分成三類：蜂后，雄蜂，工蜂。三類蜜蜂在蜂群中都有不同的分工和任務(wù)。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“Over 25,000 kinds of bees have been found.”可知，目前已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)超過25000種蜂。故選A。

【2】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“The queen is… She doesn’t go out to work, but lays eggs.”可知，蜂后的任務(wù)不是出去工作，而是產(chǎn)卵。故選D。

【3】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“When there’s not much food, drones are often kicked out of the hive.”可知，當(dāng)食物不夠的時候，雄蜂就會被踢出蜂群。故選B。

【4】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Sometimes a queen can lay 3, 000 eggs in a day.”可知，蜂后每天可以產(chǎn)卵3000只，而不是工蜂，故排除A；根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“Workers are the smallest and busiest bees.”可知，工蜂是最小最忙的蜜蜂，而不是最大最忙的，故排除B；根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后一句“They guard the hive and help to keep it cool by fanning their wings.”可知，工蜂保衛(wèi)蜂群，還通過煽動翅膀的方式為蜂群散熱，C選項是文意的正確表達(dá)。故選C。

本文閱讀難度適中，但考的都是較為簡單的細(xì)節(jié)理解題。為了加快解題速度，同學(xué)們可以這樣做：一、直接先看小題題干，從題干中找關(guān)鍵詞；二、帶著關(guān)鍵詞回到原文定位解答句；三、找到解答句后，再仔細(xì)對比解答句和小題題干的選項，就可以得出答案。比如小題1，找到它的關(guān)鍵詞是“kinds of bees”，然后回到原文找這幾個關(guān)鍵詞或者和這幾個關(guān)鍵詞有關(guān)系的句子。然后，我們就定位到第一段第三句，所以這就是我們的解答句。通過仔細(xì)對比這個解答句以及選項，“Over 25,000”就是本小題的答案。
