On a nearby hill，he could see smoke waving slowly skywards form the chimney of the Nelson family home．"Bees don't like smoke，"he thought．"They couldn't get into the house．"Andy raced towards the Nelson house，but the bees were gaining ground．Andy knew he could not reach the house in time．He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon．
Suddenly，out of the corner of his eyes，he spotted a small dam used by Mr．Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden．Off his bike and into the cool water he dived，disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects．After holding his breath for as long as he could，Andy came up for air and noticed the bees has gone．Dragging himself out of the dang the struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell．Mrs．Nelson took him inside and rang his mother．
"You'll really need that fishing break to help you recover，"laughed his mother with relief．"Thank goodness you didn't panic!"But Andy did not hear her．He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow．"

解答 答案：DDBD
56．D 细节理解题 根据第一段的最后一句"He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him．他忙于想象他要钓到的鱼而没有注意周围的一切"可知，与D．"他的思绪沉浸在钓鱼之旅中"表达的意思相符；故选D
57．D 细节理解题 A．C．两项的出处均为原文第二段的最后一句"A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him．一大群像乌云一样布满天空而嗡嗡作响的蜂群似乎正怒气冲冲的向他飞来"可见，A．蜂群像乌云一样；C．蜜蜂想成群攻击Andy均有提到；B选项的出处为第二段倒数第二句"What he saw shocked and terrified him，Andy看到的景象吓坏了他"，故B选项也有提到；D选项出处为第三段第五句话和第六句话，但是文中描述的是Andy上次被蜜蜂蛰过一次后进了医院住了两天，选项偷换了概念，故D选项文章并未提到，故选D．
58．B 细节理解题 根据第五段第二三句话"Off his bike and into the cool water he dived，disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects．After holding his breath for as long as he could，Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone．下了车潜入了水中，躲开了蜂群，在水中尽可能长时间的屏住呼息后，Andy出来发现蜜蜂已经飞走了．"可知，他将自己藏在水中，才躲开了蜂群；故选B．
59．D 主旨大意题目 A．不劳无获 B．一朝被蛇咬，三年怕井绳 C．有志者．事竟成 D．急中生智；根据文章最后一段的第二句，Andy的妈妈说道："Thank goodness you didn't panic，谢天谢地你没有慌神"可知情急之下的Andy仍然成功想到办法脱险，故选D
