on science” mean in the last paragraph? A．Science games designed by kidse many hands-on science museums aroundB．Learning science by doing things. C．A show of kids'science work. D．Reading science books.
解析：词义猜测题。根据最后一段的
“They'll keep your child mentally and physically active the whole day through while pushing buttons, experimenting, and building.”可知答案。无论是按动按钮、做实验还是进行建造，这些都是动手能力的培养，因此可以猜测出画线部分指的是通过动手来学习科学知识。 答案：B
4．Where does this text probably come from? A．A science textbook. B．A tourist map. C．A museum guide. D．A news report.

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，
第2页（共15页）
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，
thefollower 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 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.
解题导语：有一种鸟，能轻易找到蜂蜜，并借助人或其他动物的帮助，得到自己喜欢的蜂蜡。非洲森林中一种蜂蜜竟然将人或其他动物与这种鸟儿联系在一起，它们大家各取所需。 5．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.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的“Often，these nests are high up in trees，
and it is difficult to find them.”可知答案。野蜂窝难找是因为它通常都是隐藏在很高的树上。答案：B
6．What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．A bee. B．A bird. C．A honey seeker. D．A beekeeper.
解析：词义猜测题。画线词指的是前面的“passing animals and people”或“the curious animal or person”，这些动物或人都是来找蜂蜜的。 答案：C
7．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
第3页（共15页）
解析：推理判断题。这种蜂蜜向导的特殊之处就在于它们获得食物的方式与众不同。根据第二段的叙述可知，这种鸟以一种蜂蜡为食，但是这种蜂蜡在蜂窝深处，它们够不到，于是它们便找来喜欢蜂蜜的帮手相助。 答案：A
8．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
解析：标题判断题。本文主要讲述的是非洲森林里的一种奇特的动物——一种蜂蜜向导，它们帮助喜爱蜂蜜的人或其他动物寻找蜂蜜，并得到自己想要的蜂蜡，D项既概括了全文主旨，又不失风趣，helper一词很传神。为了得到不同的食物，人、动物和鸟儿互相帮助，各取所需。 答案：D
(C )
About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio(影棚) to take part in a crowd-scene.Although our “act” would last only for a short time，we could see quite a number of interesting things.
We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene，setting up trees at the edge of a winding path.Very soon，bright lights were turned on and the big movie-
camera was wheeled into position.The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby.Since it was hot in the studio，
it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path.A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him，
and soon the trees were covered in “snow”．Two more fans were turned on，
and a “strong wind” blew through the trees.The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold. The next scene was a complete contrast(对
比)．The way it was filmed was quite unusual.Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen.An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island.By a simple trick like this，palm trees，sandy beaches，and blue，clear skies had been brought into the studio!

Since it was our turn next，
we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us.For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film “stars”！

Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since.A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water.He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away.He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son.A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle，twinkle，little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
