【解析】

【分析】这是一篇说明文。研究人员发现，当蜜蜂掉进水里时，它们可以用翅膀产生小波浪,

然后像会创造并驾驭自己的波浪的冲浪者•样滑向陆地。文章主要介绍了这项研究的开展过

程以及蜜蜂冲浪行为可以带来的一些实际应用。

【24题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段“AswithmanyscientificadvancesIsaacNewton*sappleor

BenjaminFranklin?slightningboItDr.Roh'sexperimentbeganwithawalk.Passing

（与许多科学进步一样一一牛顿的苹果或本杰明・富兰克林的闪电一一Roh博士的实验是从

散步开始的。2016年路过加州理工学院的米利坎池塘时，他观察到一只蜜蜂在水面上产生

了波浪。他想知道一种以匕行著称的昆虫是如何自己在水中推进的）”可推知，作者提及牛

顿和富兰克林是想表明Rch关于蜜蜂的偶然发现。故选Bo

【25题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段中“Butthatweighthelpstopushthebeeforwardwhenits

wingsmovequicklyupanddown.（但当蜜蜂的翅膀快速上下移动时，这种重量有助于推动

密峰前讲）”可知，密峰在水中前讲的过程中，持续拍打物n旁起着最重要的作用。故诜D。

【26题详解】

词义猜测题。根据画线词上文"Theresearcherssaidthesurflikemovementhasn*tbeen

documentedinotherinsectsandmostsemiaquaticinsectsusetheirlegsfor”以

及后文“whichisknownaswaterwalking（这被称为水上行走）”可知，研究人员说，在

其他昆虫身上还没有记录到这种像冲浪•样的运动，大多数半水生昆虫用它们的腿作为在水

上的推进力，这被称为水上行走。故画线词意思是“推动力”.故选及

【27题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第一段中“ButChrisRohandotherresearchersattheCalifornia

浪者一样滑向陆地）”结合文章主要介绍了这项研究的开展过程以及蜜蜂冲浪行为可以带来

的一些实际应用。可知，文章主要告诉我们蜜蜂可以冲浪到安全的地方。故选A。
