4.The young man shows _____as a poet for he had been one of the members of the Misty Poets by his teens.(  )
A.hopeB.promiseC.interestD.confidence

分析 这位年轻人显露出作为一名诗人的希望,因为在他十几岁时,他已是朦胧诗人(the Misty Poets)的一名成员.

解答 答案B.
hope"希望,期望";promise"(非常好的或成功的)希望,迹象";interest"兴趣,利益";confidence"信心".根据句子所表达的意思可排除C和D两项;hope和promise作名词,意思作为"希望"时,是近义词,但是promise有"(非常好的或成功的)希望,迹象"的意思,show promise as的意思是"显露出…迹象",所以答案选B.

点评 本题考查名词的词义辨析.名词词义辨析题一直都是高考考查的一个热点,它注重考查考生结合语境准确选用词语的能力.由于英语词汇丰富,且用法多变,考生掌握起来有较大难度,因此在平时应注意词汇的积累,理解词语的含义及其常见的习惯搭配,再联系句子所表述的意义和语境,选出正确的答案.

2.Honey 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 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-a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey,but it does like the wax 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 fall 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.

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