2．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 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 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 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 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 candles are being lit．

60．Why is it difficult to find a wild bees'nest？B
A．It's small in size．        B．It's hidden in trees．
C．It's covered with wax．     D．It's hard to recognize．
61．What do the words"the follower"in Paragraph 2refer to？C
A．A bee．     B．A bird．     C．A honey seeker．     D．A beekeeper．
62．The honey guide is special in the wayA．
A．it gets its food                 B．it goes to church
C．it sings in the forest           D．it reaches into bees'nests
63．What can be the best title for the text？D
A．Wild Bees                   B．Wax and Honey
C．Beekeeping in Africa        D．Honey-Lover's Helper．

9．No one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo．But a new study suggests they used a little rock‘n'roll．Long-ago builders could have attached wooden pole s to the stones and rolled then across the sand，the scientists say．
"Technically，I think what they're proposing is possible，"physicist Daniel Bonn said．
People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks．And there's no obvious answer．On average，each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck．The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away．
The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths．Many scientists suspect workers first would haveput the blocks on sleds（滑板）．Then they would have dragged them along paths．To make the work easier，workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle．Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand．
Evidence from the sand supports this idea．Researchers found small amounts of fat，as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths．
However，physicist Joseph West think there might have been a simpler way，led the new study．West said，"I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction．I thought，‘Why don't they just try rolling the things？‘"A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides，he realized．That，he notes，should make a block of stone"a lot easier to roll than a square"．
So he tried it．
He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block．That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel．Then they placed the block on the ground．
They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled．The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths．They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery（滑的）path．
West hasn't tested his idea on larger blocks，but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding．At least，workers wouldn't have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths．

46．It's widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site byC．
A．rolling them on roads
B．pushing them over the sand
C．sliding them on smooth paths
D．dragging them on some poles
47．The underlined part"lubricated the paths"in Paragraph 4meansD．
A．made the path wet
B．made the path hard
C．made the path wide
D．made the path slippery
48．What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 7refer to？A
A．Rolling the blocks with poles attached．
B．Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels．
C．Rolling poles to move the blocks．
D．rolling the blocks with fat．
49．Why is rolling better than sliding according to West？D
A．Because more force is needed for sliding．
B．Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle．
C．Because sliding on smooth road is more dangerous．
D．Because less preparation on path is needed for rolling．
50．What is the text mainly about？D
A．An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site．
B．An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site．
C．An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site．
D．An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site．
