Most people, and many animals, like eating itHowever, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees nest（巢）and take the honey from itOften, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find themIn parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper- a little bird called a honey guideThe honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax （蜂蜡） 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 followerreaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watchesSome of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its shareScientists 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 lit25Why is it difficult to find a wild bees nest?AIts small in sizeBIts hidden in treesCIts covered with waxDIts hard to recognize26What do the words the follower in Paragraph 2 refer to?AA beeBA birdCA honey seekerDA beekeeper27The honey guide is special in the way_Ait gets its foodBit goes to churchCit sings in the forest Dit reaches into bees nests28What can be the best title for the text?AWild BeesBWax and HoneyCBeekeeping in AfricaDHoney-Lovers HelperCAbout twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio（影棚）to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our act would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting thingsWe all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the pathA big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in snowTwo more fans were turned on, and a strong wind blew through the treesThe picture looked so real that it made us feel coldThe next scene was a complete contrast （对比）The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the waters edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film stars!29Who is the author?AA cameramanBA film directorCA crowd-scene actorDA workman for scene setting30What made the author feel cold?AThe heavy snowfallBThe man-made sceneCThe low temperatureDThe film being shown31What would happen in the three minutes mentioned in the last paragraph?AA new scene would be filmedBMore stars would act in the filmCThe author would leave the studioDThe next scene would be preparedDGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins Twinkle, twinkle, little star or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember itIn childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as Twinkle, twinkle, little star and childhood tales such as Cinderella and GoldilocksWe not only learn but overlearnThe multiplication tables（乘法口诀表）are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhoodThe law of over learning explains why cramming（突击学习）for an examination though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for ones future development32What is the main idea of paragraph 1?APeople remember well what they learned in childhoodBChildren have a better memory than grown-upsCPoem reading is a good way to learn wordsDStories for children arc easy to remember33The author explains the law of overleaming by_Apresenting research findingsBsetting down general rulesCmaking a comparisonDusing examples34According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_Aa result of overlearningBa special case of crammingCa skill to deal with math problemsDa basic step towards advanced studies35What is the authors opinion on cramming?AIt leads to failure in college examsBIts helpful only in a limited wayCIts possible to result in poor memoryDIt increases students learning interest第2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。If you are interested in studying at an American university, you have probably heard about the Test of English as a Foreign Language 36 It is the most widely used language assessment exam for American universitiesMany foreign students are frightened of the TOEFL because it is risky 37 But a low TOEFL score will limit your choices for financial aid and admission to top schools38 :1Plan ahead-It takes a long time to improve your TOEFL scoreMany students study just before the testRaising your score will take months of hard workYou will have to spend a lot of time and energy2Master the basics first. 39 You should have at least an upper-intermediate （ 中上级）English level before you attempt the testIf you score very low marks, study the fundamentals for a few months and come back to the TOEFL later3Get a study guideIt is easy to find study guides, Pearson, Barrens, ETS, and Kaplan all produce quality materialsTake a practice test once or twice a month4 40Using TOEFL practice materials all the time will make you crazyYou can improve your TOEFL score by making English part of your daily lifeSome simple ways are listening to podcasts（播客）, watching movies and reading newspapersThe best way to do well on the TOEFL is to know English wellThrow yourself into English on a daily basis and improvement is sure to followAPractice as many materials as you canBThey are deeply concerned that they will fail in the TOEFLCThe test is widely known as the TOEFLDGood test results on the TOEFL will open many doorsEMany students take the TOEFL before they are readyFUse outside resourcesGHere are some tips for getting started with TOEFL第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Dad had a green comb.
