13、lass.Abe underlined Bbeing underlinedCto be underlined Dto being underlined答案 C考查句子的理解和insist的用法。句意：我们老师坚持要求把值得注意的关键词语在课前划出来。句中worth paying attention to是形容词短语作后置定语；insist在此意思是“坚持，坚持认为”，所以所接that从句中应该用“should动词原形”的虚拟语气，此处should被省略，所以用be underlined。II.完形填空When I started riding a bike a couple of years

27、芳的)smell of flowers，as well as their colors and shapes，attracts honeybees to collect nectar(花蜜)and thus carry out the cross pollination(授粉)needed for plants to reproduce.But for plants，nectar production is costlyit requires vital energy and nutrients，so some plants try to cheat honeybees out of thei

29、nt study by the scientists at Newcastle University in the UK has shown.Led by biologist Geraldine Wright，the scientists exposed collected worker honeybees to two different odors(气味)based on natural floral compounds(化合物)One odor led to a food reward having more sugar and the other food reward contain
30、ed more salt.They found that the bees were able to tell apart the two odors based on their associated rewards.Wright explained that honeybees like sugary nectar and dislike salty nectar.How delicious or awfultasting the food nectar is to them determines how strong the bees preference is to the scent
31、(香味)signals.Their research shows that bees can learn about the signals related to nectar quality，and they have ways to avoid floral “cheaters”They prefer to visit the floral scents theyve learned to associate with profitable rewards，Wright told at .To honeybees，the smell signal is even more crucial
32、than the look of a flower.Wright explained：“When the floral scent isnt correct，even if the visual_aspect of the flower is exactly the same，a bee will not visit it.”The study suggests that a bees ability to learn which smells produce the best nectar may be the key to understanding how the smell of fl
33、owers has evolved in flowering plants.“It forces flowering plants to be honest about the rewards they advertise and honeybees may even select plants with both scented flowers and high quality flowers，”she said，“because these plants outcompete others in the floral market place.”【解题导语】 本文是一篇科普说明文，介绍了蜜
34、蜂具有识别花蜜质量的能力。1This passage is mainly about_.Ahow floral scents are evolved to attract honeybeesBthe reasons and the ways flowers attract honeybeesChoneybees ability to distinguish high quality flowersDhow honeybees learn not to be fooled by plant cheats答案C主旨归纳题。第三段是整篇文章的主题段落，主要介绍了蜜蜂具有识别花蜜质量的能力，有了这种能
35、力蜜蜂才不会被一些假花蜜所欺骗，下文通过介绍科学家的研究来证明此观点。2What is the food a honeybee gets?ANectar. BHoney. CScents. DNutrients.答案A细节理解题。根据第一段的内容可知，蜜蜂从鲜花中采取花蜜，因此也给它们授了粉，故A项是最佳答案。3Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AThe look of a flower matters as much as its scents to a honeybee.BThe honeybee will vi
36、sit a plant if its flower smells good.CThe honeybee will avoid a plant whose nectar is salty.DPlants dont need to make much effort to make nectar.答案C细节理解题。根据第四段中所讲述的实验可知，蜜蜂不喜欢咸味，所以它们是不会光顾带有咸味花蜜的植物的。故选C。根据第六、第七段可知，花的外貌不如它的香味重要；根据第二、第三段可知，有时花虽然闻起来很好，但它是假的，这时蜜蜂会识破真相；根据第二段可知植物造成花蜜需要维持生命所必需的能量和丰富的营养。由此可排
37、除其余三项。4From the passage，we can conclude that _.Athe visit of honeybees is not crucial for a flowering plantBthe honeybees “sweet tooth”is likely to affect the floral signalsChoneybees can judge the quality of nectar by its smellsDsome plants succeed in avoiding“payment”to honeybees for their “servic
38、e”答案C推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“The study suggests that a bees ability to learn which smells produce the best nectar may be the key to understanding how the smell of flowers has evolved in flowering plants.”可以推断出，蜜蜂是通过气味来判断花蜜的质量的。IV.书面表达假如你是红星中学高三一班的学生李华，为校刊英语园地写一篇题为“Our Spring Outing”的英文稿件。请根据以下四幅图的先后顺序，叙述上周你们班

However, when we reached the top, we were shocked to see litter here and there, such as bottles and banana peels. Then we started to pick up the litter. Afterwards, we put the rubbish into the nearby recycling bin and nonrecycling bin respectively.We were tired but happy.
