Question

13．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（蠟）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 falls to the ground，and this is when the honey guide takes its share（份額）．
    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．

解答 28．A 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段的these nests are high up in trees，and itis difficult to find them．可知，這些蜂巢在樹的高處，發(fā)現(xiàn)他們是很困難的．所以很難發(fā)現(xiàn)蜂巢是因為它們隱藏在樹中．故選A．
29．D 詞義猜測題．根據(jù)When they finally arrive at the nest，thefollower reaches in to get the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits andwatches．可知，當(dāng)它們到達蜂巢時，鳥兒耐心地等待和注視著，搜索者進入蜂巢獲取美味的蜂蜜．所以此處指"找蜂蜜的搜素著"，故選D．
