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 falls 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 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. 24. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest? A. It's small in size. B. It's hidden in trees. C. It's covered with wax. D. It's hard to recognize.
25. What do the words \ A. A bee. B. A bird.
C. A honey seeker. D. A beekeeper.
26. The honey guide is special in the way ______. A. it gets its food B. it goes to church
C. it sings in the forest
D. it reaches into bees' nests
27. What can be the best title for the text? A. Wild Bees B. Wax and Honey
C. Beekeeping in Africa D. Honey-Lover's Helper

Destinee Whitaker was in fourth grade when she learned that millions of people around the world lack clean water.
“It was a problem that confused me for a long time,” said Whitaker, from the
United States city of Philadelphia. “Water is a necessity.”
When she got to Carver High School of Engineering and Science, Whitaker carefully researched the problem and felt that she must do something about it.
Early in her senior year, Whitaker approached fellow members of the school’s National Honor Society with a proposal（提议）: They should raise money to buy water purification (净化) systems for people in need. Whitaker, the National Honor Society president, knew the systems would have to be easy to carry and able to operate without electricity. So she checked with a microbiologist（微生物学家）to make sure the system she had her eye on would fit the bill.
Once her classmates agreed to back（支持） the proposal, Whitaker took it upon herself to raise money. She organized agame where students bought tickets to guess how many pieces of candy ajar contained.
In the end, they raised $800—a large amount for a school where 70 percent of the students’ families are not well-off.
Whitaker soon found that raising money was the easier part of the project. Finding an organization that could deliver the water purification systems was a bigger puzzle.She approached some organizations about their possible connections but no one could help.
Then Whitaker connected with Joseph Sackor, who runs the Liberia Medical Mission—an organization that provides medical care to Liberians（利比里亚人） who lack health services. Sackor accepted the school’s money and agreed to deliver the systems to people who needed them.
Whitaker dreams of someday launching(发起)her own nonprofit（非盈利性的）organization to bring clean water to more people in need.
“Some students in Liberia can’t even go to school because their parents cannot afford to buy them bottled water,” Sackor said. “This money is huge.” 28. What problem did Whitaker want to solve?
A. Global poverty.
B. Lack of clean drinking water. C. Lack of education.
D. Low public awareness of healthy lifestyles. 29. The underlined phrase “fit the bill” in Paragraph 4 probably means“_______”.
A. meet their needs B. be cheap enough
C. be difficult to operate D. need improvement
30. What did Whitaker think the most difficult part of her project was?
A. Making a proposal for the project.
B. Calling on her classmates to support it. C. Raising money to buy the equipment.
D. Finding an organization to deliver the equipment. 31. What does Whitaker want to do in the future?
A. Live and work in Liberia.
B. Study medicine to help those in need.
C. Set up a charity organization to help more people. D. Provide bottled water to Liberian students.
D
A newly discovered lizard（蜥蜴）found in the Philippines（菲律宾） has made scientists think there might be other never-before-seen creatures（生物）on that country’s islands. But scientists say those creatures might never be found because the islands’ rain forests are in danger.
The latest lizard was first spotted（发现） in 2001 when scientists saw local people of the island catch it for food. Scientists took some pictures of the lizard. Finally scientists caught a lizard themselves to study. They named the new lizard the Northern Sierra Madre forest monitor because it was discovered in the islands’ Sierra Madre Mountains. The 6.6-foot-long lizard has bright yellow markings that distinguish（区分）it from more boring-looking monitors. Its legs are mainly yellow, and its tail is black and yellow.
So how could scientists work in the Philippines’ rain forests for years without finding the new lizard? They say the Northern Sierra Madre forest monitor is unlike other lizards and their larger cousin, the Komodo dragon. All of those lizards are meat-eaters. But the new-found lizard eats fruit. That means it never has to come down out of the trees. Its uniquely colored skin, quiet manner, and treetop home helped it remain hidden from scientists’ view for many years.
The discovery of the Northern Sierra Madre forest monitor is making scientists realize that Philippines’ rain forests may hold many undiscovered species（物种）. But those species will not be found if the rain forests keep disappearing. Twenty years ago, forests covered about 35 percent of the Philippines’ land. But people have been encroaching on that land and building on it. Today, forests cover less than 25 percent of the country’s land.
The rain forests are a “conservation（保护）hot spot” that need to be protected, scientists say. “I hope we can make the new lizard a ‘poster child’ for conservation of the land,” said one scientist. 32. What is the scientists’ attitude to finding more new creatures in Philippines’ rain forests?
A. Interested. B. Doubtful. C. Excited. D. Supportive. 33. How did scientists discover the new lizard?
A. They caught one with the help of locals. B. The locals gave one to scientists as a gift. C. They found it from pictures taken by locals. D. They noticed it when locals hunted the lizard.
34. What is special about the new-found lizard according to Paragragh 3?
A. It is a cruel meat-eater. B. It is the largest lizard in Asia. C. It spends most time in trees. D. It looks like Komodo dragon.
35. What does the underlined phrase “encroaching on” mean?
A. Invading. B. Protecting. C. Maintaining. D. Deserting.
