some dances are fast and others are slow. peoples feet always move when they dance. they keep on moving until the music stops.people have enjoyed dancing for a very long time. this story is of a different kind of dance. it is a dance without people or music. yet this dance is one of the oldest in the world. it is the dance of bees.if you have ever watched bees, you know that they are very clever. they also work hard looking for food and bringing it hack to their home.the home of the bees is called a bee hive(巢). here hundreds even thousands of bees live. they work day and night building small walls of wax(蜡). then they make their honey. this is the same honey that we eat.where does the honey come from? bees live on food from flowers. have you seen bees flying around a flower garden? when a bee rests on a flower, it tries to go to the center of it. there it takes the food back to the hive.at the hive, bees change this flower food into honey. then they fly away for more food.how do the bees know where to find the best food in the sweetest flowers? one bee acts as a guide. when it discovers good flowers, it flies back to the hive and tells the others. it does this by dancing for them.the bee dances on the side. this tells the other bees which way to go to find the flowers. but that is not all. the bee dances for some time. and the length of its dance tells the other bees how far they must fly to reach the flowers.when the bees see the dance, they know where the flowers are. they fly away and return with more food for the hive.sometimes we hear the music of the bees as they fly around. but few people have ever seen them dance. yet without that dance we might never have sweet honey to eat. 54. the writer believes that_.a. people dance better than bees b. people learned dance from beesc. bees dance more often than people d. bees dont like music55. from this passage we know that the dance of bees means_a. they are good at dance b. they want to show their beautyc. they communicate with each other d. they have nothing to do 56. which of the following is ture?a. people get honey from flowers directly b. people draw honey from bees bodies c. people produce honey in a secret place d. people get honey from bees indirectly57. if a bee wants to get some information about the distance of food, he may watch closely at _of the other bees dance.a. the side b. the length c. the place d. the time参考答案- 54-57ccdb*结束environment ministers from 180 countries will start trying to rescue the kyoto treaty on global warming shortly. they join their officials who have been meeting all the week in the german city of bonn. the 1997 kyoto agreement commits industrialized countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions . the protocol(议定书) was undermined in a major way in march when us president george w. bush said it would weaken americas economy. its beethoven who overlooks the town square here and its unlikely that hell have to give up his place to an monument celebrating a conference, which will stop global warming. ministers from over 180 countries have already agreed to global cuts in emissions of greenhouse gasses five percent below the 1990 levels. but here they must decide how this will be achieved, since george bush pulled out of the deal, the argument is between japan and europe. the japanese want flexible roles allowing them to plant more trees in place of steep cuts in pollution and weaker penalties for missing targets. europe doesnt like it, but really wants a deal. jan pronk, conference chairman, said, when i came to bonn, i was a bit pessimistic, given many political statements, which were made during the last couple of weeks, that perhaps it would not be possible to reach an agreement. however, i have the impression that it is possible to reach a result. if all the countries gathering here fail to reach an agreement in the next few days, it wont be the end of kyoto, but it will be a failure, a failure to put national differences aside to resolve a problem, which the whole world, even the americans agree, is a growing the threat to our planet. 1. the main purpose of the text is to tell us _ a. the whole world is concerned about warming globalb. an argument between japan and europe about the issue of pollution c. the race is on to save kyoto climate treaty d. countries have different attitudes towards kyoto treaty2. from the first two paragraphs, we know that _. a. the officials from 180 countries have stayed in bonn for several weeks b. american broke the agreement by polluting the oceans c. the 1997 kyoto treaty asked all the countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions d. the environment ministers from 180 countries will meet in bonn to rescue the kyoto treaty on global warming3. from the text, we can infer that the us_. a. supports the kyoto treaty actively b. moved away from the deal c. believes that good environment can strengthen its economy d. advocates the steep cuts in pollution4. which of the following can best explain the underlined word flexible in paragraph 3? a. determined or decided. b. difficult to move. c. able to change to suit new conditions or situations. d. existent without any plan or aim.5. what conclusion can we draw from the text ?a. jan pronk is optimistic because of some political statements.b. it is not hard to achieve the goal to stop the global warming.c. japan pollutes the environment most seriously among the 180 countries.d. if the conference is a success, a monument will be set up to celebrate.1. b。细节理解题。根据第一段the developed world should take responsibility for climate change 可知，答案为b。2. a。词意猜测题，根据后面出现的is less than one third the average of developed countries我们可以推断这里指的是中国人均排放量。故答案为a。4c 从第三段的 “ allowing them to plant more plant more trees in place of steep cuts in pollution”可以推出词义。5d 从第三段的“its unlikely that hell have to give up his place to an monument celebrating a conference, which will stop global warming”可以得出答案。黄金表达two-thirds of the people living there are formerly homeless people, whose rent is paid by the government.住在那儿的三分之二是以前无家可归的人们，他们的房租由政府支付。with a little effort, and not much money
