Unfortunately, bees are dying by the second.The main purpose of honeybees is to make honey. Honey, does not exist for human consumption, but it is essential to the insects. Honeybees store honey in their hives (蜂箱) in order to have energies for their flight muscles and heat the hive during the winter period. They collect pollen(花粉) which supplies protein to young bees to grow.According to Honey., the increased production and quality of agricultural crops as a result of honeybee pollination (授粉) are valued at more than $ 14.6 billion per year. These insects are responsible for over 70 kinds of the fruits and vegetables we eat today, including apples, grapes, beans, and broccoli.They are so valuable to agriculture; why do they keep dying off? A key suspect seems to be pesticides (农药) which result in the damage to bees neurological(神经系 的)functions, specifically memory and behavior. And thats why the majority of worker bees disappear and leave behind a queen, plenty of food and a few nurse bees whose duty is to care for the remaining immature bees and the queen. There are several other causes of the decline of bees, including the destruction of natural habitats, like woodlands, forests, and other habitats for bees. Climate change is also a factor in the decline of the wild bees.Actually, there are a variety of methods of helping the number of bees grow. One way is to start your own organic garden by planting bee-friendly plants. Pesticides are used both in industrial practices and even in your home, so it is best to use organic seeds and weed killers.28. Why do honeybees store honey in their hives?A.

What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. Another way to save bees.B. Other tips for choosing seeds.C. More methods of planting green organic fruits.D. Causes of the decline in the wild bees.DMany Americans buy an evergreen tree for Christmas. They put the tree in their home and hang small lights and color1ful things on it. The evergreen is usually a pine or a fir tree (冷杉树). It remains green during the cold, dark months of winter in the northern part of the world. So it is a sign of everlasting life.Early long ago, Romans probably planted evergreen trees during a celebration in honor of their god of agriculture. The Christmas tree may have developed from a popular play performed hundreds of years ago in what is now Germany. Traditionally, the play was on December 24th, the day before Christmas. The play was about the first people that God createdAdam and Eve. People put apples on an evergreen tree to representthe tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden.By the year 1600, some Germans began bringing evergreen trees into their homes. They put fruit, nuts and sweets on the trees. They gave the food to the family members and friends after the holiday season. Some people say the German religious reformer (宗教改革者) Martin Luther was the first person to add lighted candles to the tree. They say he did this to show how wonderful the stars had appeared as he travelled one night.In the early 1800s, German settlers in the state of Pennsylvania were the first to celebrate the holiday with Christmas trees in the United States. The Christmas tree tradition spread to many parts of the world. Today, some form of the Christmas tree is part of most Christmas celebrations.32Why do people choose the evergreen tree for theChristmas tree?AIt suffers from cold and dark months.BIts evergreen and represents long life.CIts convenient for people to put things on it.DIt can be found everywhere in winter.33What can weinfer from Paragraph 2?AThe Christmas tree dates back to ancient times.BIt was in a film that the Christmas tree was first used.CEarly Romans honored the god of wisdom with trees.DThe Christmas tree was considered as the tree of wealth.34Wecan learn from the passage that _.AGerman settlers celebrated the holiday with fir treesBGermans would give each other the food on the trees at ChristmasCMartin Luther was the first person to decorate the Christmas treeDMany people in theworld follow the Christmas tree tradition35Whats the best title for this passage?AThe long history of ChristmasBThe traditions behind the Christmas treeCThe use of evergreen trees during ChristmasDHow to Decorate Christmas Tree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。 Have you ever had the following experience?
