Question

【題目】 Here is an experiment (實驗) to see how ants can organize some clever teamwork.

What’s going on?

You can see one of the best examples of insect teamwork by watching ants. If one ant finds food, it leads others there to eat it too. They follow each other by making long trails(蹤跡). The ants go back and forth collecting food, to take back to their nest（穴）. When you move the fruit, the ants will still find it. But, instead of making a new direct route to the food, they will follow each other through their old trail route.

【1】If the fruit is moved to a new position, the ants will ________.

A.fail to find itB.give up looking for it

C.make a new direct route to itD.get to it through the old trail route

【2】Which is the correct order to do this experiment?

a. Move the fruit to a new position.

b. Find an ant.

c. Check the fruit an hour later.

d. Put a thin slice of fruit in front of the ant.

A.a-b-c-dB.b-d-c-aC.d-b-c-aD.c-a-d-b

【3】What can we learn from this experiment?

A.The experiment is done successfully in the lab.

B.Ants do the experiment to show their team spirit.

C.Careful watching does little help in this experiment.

D.We can find out some facts by doing small experiments.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】D

【解析】

文章大意：本文通過實驗介紹了螞蟻的團隊合作。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的信息But, instead of making a new direct route to the food, they will follow each other through their old trail route. 但是，它們不會選擇一條新的直接路線去尋找食物，它們會沿著原來的路線互相追蹤。由此可知，如果果實被移動到一個新的位置，螞蟻將通過舊的路徑到達它，故答案選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的表格第一列First，youneedsomeants；第二列Putathinsliceoffruitinfrontoftheant；第三列Checkthefruitanhourlater；第四列Movethefruittoanewposition；可知B的順序正確，故答案選B。

【3】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文中的信息You can see one of the best examples of insect teamwork by watching ants. 可知通過觀察螞蟻的實驗可以了解昆蟲是如何進行團隊合作的，故答案選D。
