专题十七词义猜测passage 7(2012高考湖北卷)when my brother and i were young, my mom would take us on transportation days.it goes like this: you cant take any means of transportation more than once. we would start from home, walking two blocks to the rail station. wed take the train into the city center, then a bus, switching to the tram, then maybe a taxi. we always considered taking a horse carriage in the historic district, but we didnt like the way the horses were treated, so we never did. at the end of the day, we took the subway to our closest station, where moms friend was waiting to give us a ride homeour first car ride of the day.the good thing about transportation days is not only that mom taught us how to get around. she was born to be multimodal (多方式的). she understood that depending on cars only was a failure of imagination and, above all, a failure of confidencethe product of a childhood not spent exploring subway tunnels.once you learn the route map and step with certainty over the gap between the train and the platform, nothing is frightening anymore. new cities are just lightrail lines to be explored. and your personal car, if you have one, becomes just one more tool in the toolboxand often an inadequate one，limiting both your mobility and your wallet.on transportation days, we might stop for lunch on chestnut street or buy a new book or toy，but the transportation was the point. first, it was exciting enough to watch the world speed by from the train window. as i got older, my mom helped me unlock the mysteries that would otherwise have paralyzed my first attempts to do it myself：how do i know where to get off? how do i know how much it costs? how do i know when i need tickets, and where to get them? what track，what line.which direction, wheres the stop, and will i get wet when we go under the river?im writing this right now on an airplane，a means we didnt try on our transportation days and，we now know, the dirtiest and most polluting of them all.my flight routed me through philadelphia.my multimodal mom met me for dinner in the airport. she took a train to meet me.1which was forbidden by mom on transportation days?ahaving a car ride.btaking the train twice.cbuying more than one toy.dtouring the historic district.2according to the writer，what was the greatest benefit of her transportation days?abuilding confidence in herself.breducing her use of private cars.cdeveloping her sense of direction.dgiving her knowledge about vehicles.3the underlined word “paralyzed”(in para. 5) is closest in meaning to“_”adisplayedbjustifiedcignoreddruined4which means of transportation does the writer probably disapprove of?aairplane. bsubway. ctram. dcar.passage 8(2012高考新课标卷)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 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.1why is it difficult to find a wild bees nest?aits small in size. bits hidden in trees.cits covered with wax. dits hard to recognize.2what do the words “the follower” in paragraph 2 refer to?aa bee. ba bird.ca honey seeker. da beekeeper.3the honey guide is special in the way_ait gets its foodbit goes to churchcit sings in the forestdit reaches into bees nests4what can be the best title for the text?awild bees bwax and honeycbeekeeping in africa dhoneylovers helperpassage 7在“我”小时候，每到了交通日妈妈总会带着我和弟弟去旅行一天，途中我们会换乘各种不同的交通工具。这种做法不仅增加了我的自信也加深了我对世界的了解。1b细节考查题。根据第二段的第一句可知。2a细节考查题。根据第三段的第三句的depending on cars only was a failure of imagination and, above all, a failure of confidence可知，above all是关键字眼。3d词义猜测题。paralyze本义为“使瘫痪”，此处根据句意指“破坏；毁坏”。4a细节考查题。由最后一段的第一句话中的an airplane, a means.the dirtiest and most polluting of them all可知。passage 8本文描写在非洲森林里，采集野蜂蜜的人在一种小鸟的指引下找到蜂巢，采蜜后，小鸟以蜜蜡为食，这种小鸟对蜜蜡情有独钟。1b事实细节题。从第一段often，these nests are high
