Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that

23、honey is to find a wild bees nest(巢)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一a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not

24、 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 animal

25、s 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 o

26、f 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 quic

27、kly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.56. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees nest?A. Its small in size.B. Its hidden in trees.C. Its covered with wax.D. Its hard to recognize.57. What do the words the f

28、ollower in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A bee. B. A bird.C. A honey seeker. D. A beekeeper.58.

29、ekeeping in AfricaD. Honey-Lovers HelperBLanguage is a major problem for the European Union(EU)The agreement or treaty(条约) which created the organization that finally became the EU，the Treaty of Rome，stated that each countrys language must be treated equally.The original(原来的) six countries had only

30、three languages between them：French，German and Dutch/Flemish.However.there are now 15 countries in the EU，with a total of 12 languages.EU documents must be translated into all these languages，and at official meetings the speeches must be translated into all the languages by interpreters.All this tra

31、nslating is very expensive and timeconsuming(费时的)It is said that nearly half of all employess of the EU are engaged in translating documents and speeches，and nearly half of the EUs administrative(管理方面) costs are spent on this task.In the near future it is probable that several more countries，most of

32、 them having their own languages，will join the EU，thus making the situation even worse.The problem is not just cost；there are practical difficulties as well.With 12 languages，there are 132 possible “translation situations” that might be needed.It is often difficult to find people in the right place

33、at the right time who can translate from(for example) Danish into Greek，or Dutch into Portuguese，at a high professional(专业) standard.In practice the problem has been made less serious by the use of English in many contacts(接触) between EU officials，since almost all of them speak some English.However，

34、any move to reduce the number of official languages (perhaps to four or five) would be a blow to the pride of the smaller countries.Another commonly suggested solution is to make English the official language for all EU business.However，this is strongly resisted by powerful member countries like Fra

35、nce and Germany.60.The organization that finally became the EU_.Awas started by France and GermanyBstarted with three countriesCwas set up by the Treaty of RomeDincluded 132 languages61Whats the main purpose of this passage?ATo give a solution to a problem.BTo find out a problem and show how serious

36、 it is.CTo criticize the European Union for inefficiency(低效率)DTo show that the problem cannot be solved.62According to the writer，the use of English in contacts among EU officials has_.Aangered the officials who dont speak EnglishBreduced the number of official languagesClessened the effect of the p

37、roblemDbeen opposed by powerful member countries63The writer mentions “Danish into Greek” as an example of_.Aa situation that might be difficult to deal withBa situation that occurs oftenCone of the 12 situations that requires an interpreterDlanguages easily being interpretedCA British ship that san

38、k during the American Revolution has been discovered at the bottom of Lake Ontario.Surprisingly，the 22gun ship is wellpreserved in the cold，deep water.Explorers announced the news recently.Kennard is an electrical engineer.He has been diving for nearly 40 years and has found more than 200 wrecks(残骸)

39、 in the Great Lakes and other lakes or rivers.He began searching the Ontario 35 years ago but quit after several dives.Six years ago，he began to work with Scoville，a diver.Since then，the pair have found seven ships in the lake.Over the years，Kennard got licenses and information，including the ships d

40、esign plans，from the British government.Even then，it took the pair three years to search more than 200 square miles before they found the ship earlier this month.After locating the wreck with the sonal(声纳)，the explorers used a submarine to confirm their find.The 80foot ship is the only entire Britis

41、h ship ever found in the Great Lakes，Scoville and Kennard said.“To have a ship from the Revolutionary War thats nearly entire is unbelievable.Its an archaeological miracle.”They said the ship is still considered the property of the British Admiralty.Although the ship sits in an area where the water

42、is up to 500 feet deep and cannot be reached by anyone but the most experienced divers，Kennard and Scoville refused to give its exact location with care.They only said that it was found off the southern shore.The ship was discovered resting partially on its side.It went down on October 31,1780，with

43、60 British soldiers, a crew of about 40，mostly Canadians，and possibly about 30 American war prisoners.The explorers also found two cannons and the ships bell.64From the passage we learn that Kennard_.Ahas found over 200 wrecks in the Great LakesBhas kept searching the Ontario for 35 yearsCis both an

44、 engineer and an experienced diverDgot to know Scoville when he was very young65Kennard and Scovilles discovery of the British ship _.Acost them a lot of time and laborBneeded a lot of expertss support Cwas forbidden by the governmentDwas made completely by accident66We can infer from the text that

45、Kennard and Scoville_.Awill earn a great deal of money by selling the shipBwill become world famous because of their findCmay not have succeeded without modern technologyDwill be given a large reward by the American government67Kennard and Scoville refused to give the ships exact location because_.A

46、they did not know exactly where the ship wasBthey were afraid that something unexpected might happenCthey wanted to keep it a secret foreverDthey thought it would be interesting for people to guess where it isDBefore any period of exercise it is well worth spending two or three minutes warming up wi

47、th a series of simple stretching exercises.This not only helps your joints(关节) to move easily but also prepares all your muscle groups for more energetic activity.It is rather like a cat stretching itself before it springs into action.Here are four movements to do in an easy and unhurried way，gently

48、 stretching each action without forcing it.Repeat each movement ten times，breathing normally throughout.Standing with your feet apart，push both arms out straight in front of you，fingertips touching.Raise them above your head，then down to the sides pushing each arm backwards at the same time.Standing

49、 with your feet apart and hands on hips(臀部)Tip your head back and look straight up to the ceiling.Roll your head round slowly to face the right，then the floor，and finally up at the ceiling again.Repeat in the other direction.Standing with your feet apart and hands on your sides，lean first to the rig
