and struggled at times to pay the bills and wasnt always able to give us things the other kids had.there were times when i missed having a father in my life.there were times when i was lonely and felt

realmay even prevent elephants from damaging farmers crops.in 2002，scientist lucy king and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them.today，lucy wants to see if african honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops.but before she asked farmers to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms，she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern kenya and set up a recorder.then she threw a stone into the beehive，which burst into life.lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down.next，lucy searched out elephant families in samburu national reserve in northern kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family.from a distance，lucy switched on the prerecorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera.half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds.out of a total of 17 groups，only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees.lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them.when lucy played the sound of a waterfall(瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families，the animals were undisturbed.even after four minutes，most of the groups stayed in one place.lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times.she hasnt tested enough groups yet to know，but her initial(最初的)results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers.she has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.语篇导读：本文为科技报道。最新研究表明，蜂窝能够阻止大象破坏农民的庄稼。5.we know from the passage that elephants may be frightened of_.aloud noises bsome

away.语篇导读：本文讲述了美国第三任总统好心帮助一位老者过河的故事，彰显了他的高贵品质：再忙也要帮助他人。1.答案：endless解析：考查形容词。seem为系动词，其后可用名词/形容词做表语，上文提到，他看到几个骑马人经过却未寻求帮助，由此可以推知，等待是“漫长的”，故用endless。2.答案：caught解析：考查时态。根据后文的“said”可以推知，此处陈述的是过去的事情，故用一般过去时。3.答案：frozen解析：考查形容词。形容词在句中做状语，可以描述主语的状态。故此处应填“frozen”，表示老人(因长时间的等待)冻僵了。4.答案：off解析：考查介词。句意：老人几乎冻僵了，无法从地面上移开步伐。表示“从离开”，应用介词off。5.答案：but解析：考查固定搭配。“not just.but.”表示“不仅而且”。句意：他不仅把这位老人运过河，还把他送回家。6.答案：if解析：考查固定句型。“what if.？”为固定句型，表示“要是会怎样？”。7.答案：which解析：考查定语从句。先行词为they didnt care，指一件事，且此处为非限制性定语从句，故用which，在句中做主语。8.答案：yours解析：考查代词。yours与前文中的their eyes相对，指your eyes。后半句句意：但是当我注视着你的眼睛的时候，我看到了友善。9.答案：what解析：考查连词。for后的宾语从句中缺少宾语，且由句意“谢谢你所说的话”可推知，该空应填what。10.答案：third解析：考查序数词。序数词、最高级前常用the修饰，且由常识可知，thomas jefferson为美国第三任总统，故填third。.短文改错now many
