46、ivelookattheissues”可知,作者认为应该客观看待蜜蜂数量问题。15.B主旨大意题。文章前两段引用两个结论相反的新闻提出主旨“在全球蜜蜂数量增长的情况下而美国蜜蜂数量却下降”,接下来分析了其原因并提出了解决方案,所以B项“蜜蜂数量下降还是没有?”最适合作本文标题。.【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了申请美国商学院研究生院的三个理由。1.E本句位于第一段最后,有启示下文的作用。且后文主要描述了申请美国商学院研究生院的三个理由。E选项“以下是申请美国商学院研究生院的三个理由。”符合上下文语境。2.B根据下文的“Part-time,online,orevenaccelerate
