本文講述了一個人的后車輪附近藏著一只蜂王，導(dǎo)致一群蜜蜂追隨它的汽車的故事。
36. B。這里指的是人與昆蟲的區(qū)別，注意下文提到的the former(前者)和the latter(后者)是在對兩者的不同作比較。
37. C。根據(jù)常識可知，偷乘車輛或船只的人通常都會盡量不讓人發(fā)現(xiàn)。make effort to do sth 固定詞組，“盡力做做某事”，make every possible effort to do sth 的意思是“盡一切可能做某事”
38. D。句中的while 表對比。前面說偷乘車輛或船只的人通常都會盡量不讓人發(fā)現(xiàn)，而“偷”乘車輛或船只的昆蟲則不同，怎么個不同？那就是它們會draw attention (引起注意)。
39. A。根據(jù)下文可知，這個人很不走運(yùn)。
40. C。指從一個山村出發(fā)去倫敦。比較：set out 出發(fā)，動身；pass by從……旁經(jīng)過；leave out 遺漏，漏掉；get up起床。
41. B。根據(jù)文章最后一段倒數(shù)第2句He found the unwelcome passenger hidden near the wheels at the back. of the car 可知，此處應(yīng)填 back。
42. D。指司機(jī)聽到從車后面?zhèn)鱽碛衅婀值穆曇�，所以他就下車來檢查(examine)一下，看是什么原因。
43. B。既然通過檢查沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)什么問題，所以他就繼續(xù)(continue)趕路。
44. D。比較：immediately 立即，馬上；normally 正常地；gently輕柔地；actually實(shí)際上。由于是一種奇怪的聲音，并且他幾次下車查看，說明這種聲音不算normally；又由于后面說…became even louder，說明它不gently；actually 在此不合語境。故選D，指車一開動，又馬上出現(xiàn)了那種聲音。
45. B。由于聲音是從后面?zhèn)鱽淼模援?dāng)司機(jī)再一次聽到這種聲音時，他馬上回過頭來看。比較：turn one’s head 轉(zhuǎn)頭，調(diào)頭；hide one’s head 藏起某人的頭；shake one’s head 搖頭；raise one’s head 抬起頭。
46. A。根據(jù)下文可知，跟在車后的是一群蜜蜂，作者把它形容成一團(tuán)烏云，故用black。
47. C。根據(jù)上下文語境可知，這群蜜蜂不是在車底，不是在附近，也不是前面，而是在車后面。
48. D。司機(jī)盡量把車開快希望能甩掉其后的蜜蜂，這樣的的駕駛肯定很hard。
49. A。根據(jù)下文提到a customer 可排除B、C、D。
50. D。It was not long before... 是固定句型，其意為“不久以后”。
51. C。因?yàn)檫@位看見他停車的顧客發(fā)現(xiàn)他的車上滿是蜜蜂，所以就匆忙匆忙(hurried)進(jìn)來告訴他。
52. B。比較：be crowded with 擠滿了……；be covered with 被……所覆蓋；be filled with裝滿……；be equipped with 由……所裝備。根據(jù)語境，只有B較合適。
53. A。advise sb that… 意為“建議某人……”，此處用的是該結(jié)構(gòu)的被動式，其意為“有人建議他……”。
54. A。要對付這批蜜蜂，顯然只有bee-keeper(養(yǎng)蜂人)最合適。。
55. C。比較：unexpected 想不到的，未預(yù)料到；unfamiliar 不熟悉的；unknown不知道的；uncertain不確定的。對于一個bee-keeper 來說，突然得到這么多蜜蜂，當(dāng)然屬于 unexpected了。

The easy way out isn't always easiest. I learned that lesson when I decided t
o treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time, I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Doug loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was a sticky dough(面團(tuán)) covered with ugly yellowish marks. Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work. I went on preparing the rest of the meal, and, when Doug got home, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the window to see what he was doing. Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast(酵母)made the surface shake and sigh  though it were breathing. It looked like some unknown being from outer space. I could see why Doug was so shaken. I had to admit what the “l(fā)iving thing” was and why it was there. I don't know who was more embarrassed(尷尬)by the whole thing—Doug or me.

In my procession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that causes AIDS. The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life.

Tyler was born infected with HIV: his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medications to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back. Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream. At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.
Tyler wasn’t willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine-laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon. All of us who knew Tyler marveled at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler’s mom often teased him by telling him that he moored so fast she needed to dress him in red. That way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard, she round quickly spot him.
This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIV-infected mother. When it became apparent that he wasn't going to survive, Tyler's mom talked to him about death. She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven.
A few days before his death, Tyler beckoned me over to his hospital bed and whispered, “I might die soon. I’m not scared. When I die, please dress me in red. Mom promised she’s coming to heaven, too. I’ll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me.”
