19、 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 (蜂蜡) in Once it
20、 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.

21、wax, always falls 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.

24、 Honey-Lovers Helper BCAD *结束About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio(影棚)to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our act would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.We all stood at the far end of the studio as workme
25、n prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the stud
26、io, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in snow. Two more fans were turned on, and a strong wind blew through the trees. The picture loo
27、ked so real that it made us feel cold.The next scene was a complete contrast (对比). The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen (幕). An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the waters
28、edge on an island. By a trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue,clear skies had been brought into the studio!Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us.

31、ehind a slow-moving tuck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left,
32、 right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policem
33、an around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.Much later that night, the question of why Id stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because its part of a contract(契约)we all have with each other. Its not only the law, but it is an agreement we have, an

38、 his inclination.D. He made a right decision.参考答案-BADC *结束 Why I dont spare “Spare Change” “Poor but honest.” “The deserving (值得帮助的) poor.” These words always come to my mind when I think of “the poor.” But I also think of people who, perhaps through alcohol (酒) or drugs, have ruined not only their
39、own lives but also the lives of others in order to give way to their own pleasure. Perhaps alcoholism and drug addiction (上瘾) really are “diseases,” as many people say, but my own feeling-based, of course, not on any serious study-is that most alcoholics and drug addicts belong to the “undeserving p
40、oor.” And that is largely why I dont give spare change to beggars. But surely among the street people there are also some who can rightly be called “deserving.” Deserving what? My spare change? Or simply the governments assistance? It happens that I have been brought up to believe that it is proper
41、to make contributions to charity (慈善机构), but if I give some change to a beggar, am I making a contribution to charity and thereby helping someone, or, am I perhaps simply encouraging someone not to get help? Or, maybe even worse, am I supporting a cheat? If one believes in the value of private chari
42、ty, one can either give to needy people or to charitable organizations. In giving to a beggar one may indeed be helping a person who badly needs help, but one cannot be certain that one is giving to a needy person. In giving to an organization, on the other hand, one can feel that ones money is like
43、ly to be used wisely. True, facing a beggar one may feel that this particular unfortunate person needs help at this moment-a cup of coffee or a sandwich-and the need will not be met unless I put my hand in my pocket right now. But I have come to think that the beggars whom I meet can get along witho
44、ut my spare change, and indeed perhaps they are actually better off for not having money to buy alcohol or drugs.I know nothing about these beggars, but its my impression that they simply prefer begging to working. I am not generalizing about street people. I am talking about the people whom I actua
45、lly meet. Thats why I do not give “spare change,” and I dont think I will in the future.67. What does the author think of beggars who take drugs? A. They should be given a check-up.B. They really need money to live. C. They are not worth helping.D. They have no pleasure in life.68. Why doesnt the au
46、thor give money to street people? A. He doesnt think they need help.B. He is not convinced they will use it rightly. C. He doesnt have enough money to give. D. He believes they can get help from the government. 69. In the second paragraph, the author presents his idea by . A. expressing his opinions
47、 directlyB. giving examples to support his argument C. raising questions and answering themD. asking questions for people to think about70. Which of the following opinions does the author accept? A. Some street people are poor and needy.B. Drug addiction is a disease. C. Most beggars have received enough help.D. charitable organizations handle money properly.参考答案D-67. C 68. B 69. D 70. A*结束
