Scientists in Britain have managed to teach bees to pull strings (线) to get to food and then pass on what they have learned to others in their colony (群体) 一showing a high level of intelligence despite their tiny brains.
Researchers at Queen Mary University of London said the experiments, often used to test the intelligence of apes (猿) and birds, showed for the first time that some insects are up to the task, and can also pass skills on through several generations.
The findings add to the evidence suggesting the ability for "culture spread" 一 the ability to learn and pass on knowledge and skills—may not be exclusive to humans.
In the research, published in the journal PLOS Biology on Tuesday, the scientists were able to train 23 out of a group of 40 bees to pull strings with their legs and feet.
The strings were attached to discs—or artificial "flowers"一containing food at their center but placed under a transparent (透明的) screen. The bees, spotting the food beneath the screen, learned to pull the "flowers" out by pulling the string with their legs and feet to be able to get to it.
From another group of bees given the chance to solve the task without any training, only two of 110 were successful.
Another group of bees were then allowed to observe the trained bees pulling the strings, and 60 percent of them successfully learned the skill. Finally, trained bees were put in colonies, and the scientists found the technique spread successfully to a majority of the colony's worker bees.
Lars Chittka, a Queen Mary University professor who guided the project, said the team was interested in figuring out the brain processes behind the bees' learning and teaching skills.
1.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "exclusive" in Paragraph 3
A. Ordinary. B. Limited. C. Beneficial. D. Widespread.
2.What did the researchers find about bees
A.Bees learn best in insects.
B.Bees are as clever as birds.
C.Bees are born good learners.
D.Bees can be trained to learn skills.
3.What may the research team focus on next
A.What else bees can do.
B.Where bees learn skills.
C.How bees teach others.
D.How bees' brains work.
4.What may be the best title for the text

The quick action of Nick helped five people escape a fire on Hope Road. Nick said he usually left his house around 5: 30 a.m. to do morning exercises, but that day he decided to stay at home to get his daughter ready for school. As he looked at his neighbor's house, he realized that it was on fire. "I saw smoke and flames and ran over and started beating on the side of the house shouting, 'Your house is on fire!

"They did a great job, and I can't thank them enough," Penny said, then looked at what remained in the house and shook her head as tears rolled down in her eyes. "Everything I have is gone. Luckily nobody was hurt in the fire." She said the fire could have been caused by an electrical problem. "We've been having problems with mice, so that we could have had something to do with them," she added.

Mr. Sharp told her, "I'll write to your father if you aren't here on time tomorrow." Julia didn't expect him to do that because her parents were very strict with her. So she said sorry and promised that she would be punctual from that moment on.
The next day she got up very early and went to school without breakfast. When the bell rang, she had been seated in the classroom. The door opened and the teacher came in. But it wasn't Mr. Sharp. It was Miss Young. Mr. Sharp was on business, so she was taking his class instead. How disappointed Julia was!
The next morning Julia got up even earlier. After a quick breakfast she rushed to school. Just before she got to the school gate, she spotted a wallet lying on the ground.
She picked it up. "Whose is this " she wondered.

5.根据语境可知种子在土壤里生长是要推着（push）土向前行，push one's way是固定搭配，意为"挤出去，挤着前进"。

8.根据空后的what if I stop focusing on the 9 and go for the best？可知，作者是在问（ask）自己。
9.根据空后的 go for the best 可知，不再关注最坏的（worst）情况，而是去追求最好的结果，故选A。
10.句意：大多数人可以做不寻常的事，如果他们有信心冒险。结合句意可知，此处应用if引导条件状语从句。
11.句意：然而，大多数人并没有。根据上一句Most people can do...和空后的most people don't 可知，前后句语义上是转折关系。

The findings add to the evidence suggesting the ability for "culture spread" 一 the ability to learn and pass on knowledge and skills—may not be exclusive to humans.
In the research, published in the journal PLOS Biology on Tuesday, the scientists were able to train 23 out of a group of 40 bees to pull strings with their legs and feet.
The strings were attached to discs—or artificial "flowers"一containing food at their center but placed under a transparent (透明的) screen. The bees, spotting the food beneath the screen, learned to pull the "flowers" out by pulling the string with their legs and feet to be able to get to it.
From another group of bees given the chance to solve the task without any training, only two of 110 were successful.
Another group of bees were then allowed to observe the trained bees pulling the strings, and 60 percent of them successfully learned the skill. Finally, trained bees were put in colonies, and the scientists found the technique spread successfully to a majority of the colony's worker bees.
Lars Chittka, a Queen Mary University professor who guided the project, said the team was interested in figuring out the brain processes behind the bees' learning and teaching skills.

The quick action of Nick helped five people escape a fire on Hope Road. Nick said he usually left his house around 5: 30 a.m. to do morning exercises, but that day he decided to stay at home to get his daughter ready for school. As he looked at his neighbor's house, he realized that it was on fire. "I saw smoke and flames and ran over and started beating on the side of the house shouting, 'Your house is on fire! Your house is on fire!'" Nick remembered it was at about 9 a.m. that the firefighters put out the fire.
Beverly Penny and her husband, Clark, along with their younger daughters, were sleeping in the living room, next to the kitchen, when they heard Nick beating on the walls.

However, chickens in one of the rooms weren't so lucky.
Firefighters got the call at about 7: 05 a.m. "When we arrived with our fire trucks, there were heavy flames outside on the house," Jerry said. He called Nick a hero, saying that without his quick responses (回应) the result could have been much worse. "The firefighters were fast," Nick said. "They arrived here within about three minutes."
"They did a great job, and I can't thank them enough," Penny said, then looked at what remained in the house and shook her head as tears rolled down in her eyes. "Everything I have is gone. Luckily nobody was hurt in the fire." She said the fire could have been caused by an electrical problem. "We've been having problems with mice, so that we could have had something to do with them," she added.

It's Unfair
Julia was an intelligent and hard-working girl, who often stayed up late, so she couldn't get up early and was occasionally late for school. One morning when she came in late, Mr. Sharp, her teacher, burst into anger.
Mr. Sharp told her, "I'll write to your father if you aren't here on time tomorrow." Julia didn't expect him to do that because her parents were very strict with her. So she said sorry and promised that she would be punctual from that moment on.
The next day she got up very early and went to school without breakfast. When the bell rang, she had been seated in the classroom. The door opened and the teacher came in. But it wasn't Mr. Sharp. It was Miss Young. Mr. Sharp was on business, so she was taking his class instead. How disappointed Julia was!
The next morning Julia got up even earlier. After a quick breakfast she rushed to school. Just before she got to the school gate, she spotted a wallet lying on the ground.
She picked it up. "Whose is this " she wondered.
As she stood there, there went the first bell. "What shall I do " she hesitated. "I'll turn in the wallet to the headmaster first," she decided. And so she did.

4.根据 I don't know what I will meet in the dark 可知，第二颗种子认为如果把根扎入地（ground）下，不知道在黑暗中会遇到什么。
5.根据语境可知种子在土壤里生长是要推着（push）土向前行，push one's way是固定搭配，意为"挤出去，挤着前进"。
6.What if…？意为"假使……将会怎样？"，再结合前文的If I 5 my way through the hard soil可知，第二颗种子担心它自己被小朋友从土地里拉（pull）出来怎么办。

8.根据空后的what if I stop focusing on the 9 and go for the best？可知，作者是在问（ask）自己。
9.根据空后的 go for the best 可知，不再关注最坏的（worst）情况，而是去追求最好的结果，故选A。
10.句意：大多数人可以做不寻常的事，如果他们有信心冒险。结合句意可知，此处应用if引导条件状语从句。
11.句意：然而，大多数人并没有。根据上一句Most people can do...和空后的most people don't 可知，前后句语义上是转折关系。

3.考查非谓语动词。此处是invite sb. to do sth. "邀请某人做某事"，故填to go。
4.考查副词。此处表示"我认为这正是我需要的"。空处修饰 "what I needed"，应用副词，故填 exactly。
5.考查非谓语动词。句中how引导的是表语从句, "5 (keep) away from my phone for 48 hours"在表语从句中作主语，因此空处应用动词-ing形式，故填keeping。
