         Honey (蜂蜜) 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 (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 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 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.
    1. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?
    A. It's small in size.
    B. It's hidden in trees.
    C. It's covered with wax.
    D. It's hard to recognize.
    2. What do the words "the follower" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
    A. A bee.                          
    B. A bird.
    C. A honey seeker.                    
    D. A beekeeper.
    3. The honey guide is special in the way____________.
    A. it gets its food
    B. it goes to church
    C. it sings in the forest
    D. it reaches into bees' nests
    4. What can be the best title for the text?
    A. Wild Bees
    B. Wax and Honey
    C. Beekeeping in Africa
    D. Honey-Lover's Helper

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出最佳选项。
    Having divorced (离婚) my dad, my mom had to move frequently in order to find a job that would provide her with enough money to support the big family. For three years, we lived in the town of Parkersburg. On the first Christmas there, my brothers and I had been well prepared for a holiday without presents. But we had a surprise on Christmas Eve.
    At midnight, we were woken up by someone shouting at our front door, “Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!” We jumped up and ran to the door to find no one there, but several boxes and bags! Not only were there gifts, which were our favorite, but there were also clothes and food. Each of us kids, as well as Mom, had gifts with our names on them. And the clothes all fit us!
    Another year went by and on Christmas Eve, we again got boxes and bags full of goodies. The next year we moved. We were in the same town but across the other side. Mom was beginning to get on her feet. Since we had moved and Mom had a better job, we were quite certain that “Santa” wouldn’t visit us that year. But we were wrong!
    Those “Santa” visits restored in me the belief in the goodness of mankind, though to this day we don’t know who our helper was.
    When we grew up, Mom moved to Virginia. She had some extra money one Christmas. She sent it to me and let us know her decision. We then took action. My husband and children had so much fun buying and wrapping presents for the needy family we had chosen. On Christmas Eve, we allowed the excited kids to stay up late to be part of our secret “Santa” project.
    Such satisfaction there was in being able to pass on the gift of love to others who needed it. And the gift goes on!

    第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分,满分40分）

    Tess still stood hesitating like a swimmer about to make his dive, hardly knowing whether to return or move forward, when a figure came out from the dark door of the tent. It was a tall young man, smoking.

    He had an almost black face, though red and smooth. His moustache was black with curled points, though he could not be more than twenty, three or four. There was an unusual force in his face, and in his daring rolling eyes.

    "Well, my beauty, what can I do for you?" said he, coming forward. And seeing that she was quite at a loss: "Never mind me. I am Mr. d'Urberville. Have you come to see me or my mother?"

    This differed greatly from what Tess had expected. She had dreamed of an aged and dignified face. She tried to keep calm and answered, "I came to see your mother, sir."

    "I am afraid you cannot see her—she is ill in bed," replied the representative of the house; for this was Mr.Alee, the only son of the noble family."What is the business you wish to see her about?"

    "It isn't business—it is— I can hardly say what!"

    "Pleasure?"

    "Oh no. Why, sir, if I tell you, it will seem—"

    Tess's sense of a certain ridicule was now so strong that, despite her general discomfort at being here, her rosy lips curved(弯曲) towards a smile, much to the attraction of the young man.

    "It is so foolish," she stammered(急急巴巴地说); "I fear I can't tell you!"

    "Never mind; I like foolish things. Try again, my dear," said he kindly.

    "Mother asked me to come," Tess continued; 'and, indeed, I was in the mind to do so myself. But I did not think it would be like this.I came, sir,to tell you that we are of the same family as you."

    "Ho! Poor relations?"

    "Yes."

    'Stokes?'

    "No; d'Urbervilles."

    "Ay, ay; I mean d'Urbervilles."

    "Our names are wom away to Durbeyfield; but we have several proofs that we are d'Urbervilles. The local scholars hold the view that we are,and we have an old seal(印章) and a silver spoon marked with the same castle as yours. So mother said we ought to make ourselves known to you, as we've lost our horse by a bad accident; we can hardly make a living."

    "Very kind of your mother, I'm sure.' Alec looked at Tess as he spoke, in a way that made her uneasy. 'And so, my pretty girl, you've come on a friendly visit to us, as relations?"

    "I suppose I have," looking less confident and uncomfortable again.

    "Well-there's no harm in it. Where do you live? What are you?"

                                      —Tess of the d'Urbervilles By Thomas Hardy

    61. How does Tess feel in the whole course of the meeting with Alec?

          A. Excited and hopeful.          B. Nervous and uncomfortable.

          C. Surprised but comfortable.           D. Pleased but embarrassed.

    62. In the eyes of Tess, Alec is _______________.

          A. forceful and daring            B. unfriendly and talkative

          C. a gentle and reliable man      D. older than she had expected

    63. Why does Tess pay the visit to the d'Urbervilles?  

          A. To see Alec himself.

          B. To see Alec's mother.

          C. To confirm that they are of the same family.

          D. To make known their relationship and seek help.

    64. Alec appears quite friendly to Tess mainly because __________.

          A. Tess is his distant relation      B. Tess looks polite to him

          C. Tess is a pretty girl             D. Tess looks ridiculous
