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 (巢) 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 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.‎ ‎21. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees’ nest?‎ A. It’s small in size. B. It’s hard to recognize.‎ C. It’s covered with wax. D. It’s hidden in trees.‎ ‎22. What do the underlined words the follower in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. A bird. B. A honey seeker. C. A bee. D. A beekeeper.‎ ‎23. The honey guide is special in the way ________. ‎ A. it sings in the forest B. it goes to church ‎ C. it reaches into bees’ nests D. it gets its food ‎ ‎24. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Wild Bees B. Wax and Honey C. Honey-Lover's Helper D. Beekeeping in Africa ‎ B ‎ The summer holidays are upon us again.

We can only try to imagine it. ‎ At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Internet----even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today----we will feel a little lonely.‎ ‎ Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.‎ ‎ Spending holidays will also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.‎ ‎ We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn’t true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as our health will be in better condition.‎ Although we can’t predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen. ‎ ‎28. Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050? ‎ ‎ A. Because there will be less face-to-face communication.‎ ‎ B. Because people won’t communicate with each other much often.‎ ‎ C. Because people won’t like making friends with each other.‎ ‎ D.Because the number of people will become much smaller.‎ ‎29. According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050? ‎ ‎ A. Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.‎ B. The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.‎ ‎ C. The relationship between people will be more important than today.‎ ‎ D It won’t be difficult for people to travel to other planets.‎ ‎30. The underlined word “sanguine” in the last paragraph most probably means ______.‎ ‎ A. disappointed B. curious C. optimistic D. surprised ‎31. What does the passage mainly talk about? ‎ ‎ A. How people will communicate in the year 2050.‎ ‎ B. What high technology will appear in the year 2050.‎ ‎ C. How people will travel and spend their holiday in the year 2050.‎ ‎ D. What our life will be like in the year 2050.‎ D Compassion is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into actions. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people ‎ are our main customers, and it's not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register(收款机)with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash(现金) , had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.‎ ‎　　I couldn't help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before , and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn't allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.‎ ‎　　Just then, another man, standing behind the first, , spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “ Charge（把…记在某人帐上） it to me, ” was all he said.‎ ‎　　What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.‎ ‎32．The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits ________ .‎ A．promised to obey the store rules B．forgot to take any money with him C．could not afford anything more expensive D．hoped to have the food first and pay later ‎33．Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?‎ A．poor and lonely B．kind and lucky C．friendly and helpful D．hurt and disappointed ‎34．The writer acted upon the store rules because ________ .‎ A．he considered the old man dishonest B．he felt no pity for the old gentleman C．he wanted to keep his present job D．he expected someone else to pay for the old man ‎35．What does the writer learn from his experience?‎ A．Wealth is more important than anything else.‎ B．Helping others is easier said than done.‎ C．Experience is better gained through practice.‎ D．Obeying the rules means more than compassion.‎ 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项.‎ How to get good grades in school Everyone knows how important it is to do well in school.
