Question

【题目】Honeybees can do three kinds of jobs.

It is one of the most unusual insects in the world. Bees are special because they divide up their honeybee work. Each bee has a certain job to do.

The busiest bee is the worker. Workers build the nest, called a hive. Inside the hive, workers make a honeycomb from wax(蜂蜡). They store honey there for food. Workers are always cleaning and fixing the hive. They even stand at the opening and fan their wings to cool the hive. Worker bees will attack anything—even people—to keep their hive safe, if need.

Another kind of bee is the drone(雄蜂). Drones are male bees, and their job is to fly with the queen bee and mate with her. After the queen mates, the worker bees drive the drones away. The drones then starve to death.

The third kind of bee is the queen. Each hive needs only one queen, and her job is laying eggs. She can lay as many as 2, 000 eggs a day.

【解析】蜜蜂是世界上最不寻常的昆虫之一，蜜蜂可以做三种不同的工作。每个蜜蜂都有固定的工作去做。最忙碌的是工蜂，它们筑巢，另一种是雄峰，它们的任务就是和蜂王一起飞舞并交配。第三种蜜蜂是蜂王。

【1】细节理解题。由“Workers build the nest, called a hive. ”可知工人筑巢，称为蜂巢。故选A。

【2】细节理解题。由“ Workers are always cleaning and fixing the hive. They even stand at the opening and fan their wings to cool the hive”工蜂总是打扫和修理蜂箱。他们甚至站在开幕式和风扇的翅膀冷却蜂巢。可知他们清洗蜂房，保持凉爽。故选C。

【3】推理判断题。由“After the queen mates, the worker bees drive the drones away. The drones then starve to death”在女王交配后，工蜂把雄蜂驱逐出去。然后雄峰饿死，可知雄峰在蜂巢中已经没用了，它的使命完成了，故选C。

【4】细节理解题。A. are very dangerous insects，是非常危险的昆虫，文中没有提及，根据我们的常识也可知这是错误的。B. will attack anything or anyone to protect the hive, if necessary如果需要的话，会攻击任何人或任何人来保护蜂巢，由“ Worker bees will attack anything—even people—to keep their hive safe, if need.”可知如果需要的话，工蜂会攻击任何人或任何人来保护蜂巢，故B正确。C. are like any other insect that flies像其他任何昆虫飞，只有雄峰的工作是和蜂王一起飞，错误。D.eat each other as food互食，由“They store honey there for food. ”可知他们把蜂蜜储存在那里吃。故错误。故选B。
