A boy was dying of terminal leukemia (白血病). His mother took his hand and asked, “Bopsy, did you ever think about what you wanted to be when you grew up ”
“Mommy, I always wanted to be a fireman when I grew up.”
Later that day she went to the fire department, where she met Fireman Bob. She explained her son’s final wish and asked if it might be possible to give her six-year-old son a ride around the block on a fire engine. Fireman Bob said, “Look, we can do better than that. We’ll make him an honorary fireman for the whole day. He can come down to the fire station, eat with us, go out on all the fire calls, the whole nine yards! And, we’ll get a real fire uniform made for him.”
Three days later Fireman Bob picked up Bopsy, dressed him in his fire uniform and escorted (护送) him from his hospital bed to the waiting hook and ladder truck. Bopsy was in heaven. Having his dream come true, with all the love and attention that was lavished (慷慨给予) upon him, Bopsy lived three months longer than any doctor thought possible.
One night all of his vital signs began to drop and the head nurse called the fire chief and asked if it would be possible to send a fireman in uniform to the hospital to be with Bopsy as he made his transition. The chief replied “We can do better than that. We’ll be there in five minutes. Will you please do me a favor When you hear the sirens (警报器) screaming and see the lights flashing, will you announce over the PA system that it’s just the fire department coming to see one of its finest members one more time And will you open the window to his room ”
About five minutes later a hook and ladder truck arrived at the hospital, extended its ladder up to Bopsy’s third floor open window and 14 firemen and two fire-women climbed up the ladder into Bopsy’s room. They hugged him and held him and told him how much they loved him. With his dying breath, Bopsy looked up at the fire chief and said, “Chief, am I really a fireman now ”
With those words, Bopsy smiled and closed his eyes for the last time.

C. Bopsy could experience everything as a fireman.
D. All the sirens of the fire engines would scream that day.
6. Why did the head nurse want a fireman in uniform to be sent to the hospital

Honeybees rely heavily on flower patterns not just colors when searching for food, new research shows.
A team led by the University of Exeter tested bee behaviour and built bee’s-eye-view simulations (模拟装置) to work out how they see flowers.
Honeybees have low resolution vision, so they can only see a flower’s pattern clearly when they are within few centimeters. However, the new’ study shows bees can very effectively distinguish between different flowers by using a combination of colour and pattern.
In a series of tests, bees rarely ignored pattern, suggesting colour alone does not lead them to flowers. This may help to explain why some colours that are visible to bees are rarely produced by flowers in nature.
“We studied a large amount of data on plants and bee behaviour,” said Professor Natalie Hempel, from Centre for Research in Animal Behaviour. “By training and testing bees using man-made patterns of shape and colour, we found they relied flexibly on their ability to see both of these elements. Showing how insects see colour and learn colour patterns is important to understand how pollinators (传粉者) may, or may not, create evolutionary ‘pressures’ on the colours and patterns that flowers have evolved (进化). Our findings suggest that flowers don’t need to evolve too many different flower colours, because they can use patterns to vary their displays so bees can tell them apart from other flowers.”
One typical feature identified in the study is that the outside edges of flowers usually contrast strongly with the plant’s leaves while the centre of the flower does not have such a strong contrast with the leaf colour. This could help bees quickly identify colour differences and find their way to flowers.
While flowers may be beautiful to humans, Professor Hempel stressed that understanding more about bees and the threats they face meant we need to see the world “through the eyes of a bee and the mind of a bee.”
8. What does the new research focus on
A. The source of bees’ food supply. B. The way of bees finding flowers.
C. The effect of bees’ poor eyesight. D. The evolution of bees’ behavior.
9. What does Hempel think of flowers trying to evolve more colours
A. It’s not a must. B. It’s a pressing need.
C. It’s beyond belief. D. It’s a temporary solution.
10. What’s paragraph 6 mainly about
A. An explanation of the research intention.
B. Dramatic changes in the research strategy.
C. Conflict between different research outcomes.
D. Supporting evidence for the research findings.
11. What aspect of research into bees did Hempel highlight
A. Research data. B. Research methods.
C. Research objects. D. Research frequency.

“Mommy, I always wanted to be a fireman when I grew up.”
Later that day she went to the fire department, where she met Fireman Bob. She explained her son’s final wish and asked if it might be possible to give her six-year-old son a ride around the block on a fire engine. Fireman Bob said, “Look, we can do better than that. We’ll make him an honorary fireman for the whole day. He can come down to the fire station, eat with us, go out on all the fire calls, the whole nine yards! And, we’ll get a real fire uniform made for him.”
Three days later Fireman Bob picked up Bopsy, dressed him in his fire uniform and escorted (护送) him from his hospital bed to the waiting hook and ladder truck. Bopsy was in heaven. Having his dream come true, with all the love and attention that was lavished (慷慨给予) upon him, Bopsy lived three months longer than any doctor thought possible.
One night all of his vital signs began to drop and the head nurse called the fire chief and asked if it would be possible to send a fireman in uniform to the hospital to be with Bopsy as he made his transition. The chief replied, “We can do better than that. We’ll be there in five minutes. Will you please do me a favor When you hear the sirens (警报器) screaming and see the lights flashing, will you announce over the PA system that it’s just the fire department coming to see one of its finest members one more time And will you open the window to his room ”
About five minutes later a hook and ladder truck arrived at the hospital, extended its ladder up to Bopsy’s third floor open window and 14 firemen and two fire-women climbed up the ladder into Bopsy’s room. They hugged him and held him and told him how much they loved him. With his dying breath, Bopsy looked up at the fire chief and said, “Chief, am I really a fireman now ”

Honeybees rely heavily on flower patterns not just colors when searching for food, new research shows.
A team led by the University of Exeter tested bee behaviour and built bee’s-eye-view simulations (模拟装置) to work out how they see flowers.
Honeybees have low resolution vision, so they can only see a flower’s pattern clearly when they are within few centimeters. However, the new’ study shows bees can very effectively distinguish between different flowers by using a combination of colour and pattern.
In a series of tests, bees rarely ignored pattern, suggesting colour alone does not lead them to flowers. This may help to explain why some colours that are visible to bees are rarely produced by flowers in nature.
“We studied a large amount of data on plants and bee behaviour,” said Professor Natalie Hempel, from Centre for Research in Animal Behaviour. “By training and testing bees using man-made patterns of shape and colour, we found they relied flexibly on their ability to see both of these elements. Showing how insects see colour and learn colour patterns is important to understand how pollinators (传粉者) may, or may not, create evolutionary ‘pressures’ on the colours and patterns that flowers have evolved (进化). Our findings suggest that flowers don’t need to evolve too many different flower colours, because they can use patterns to vary their displays so bees can tell them apart from other flowers.”
One typical feature identified in the study is that the outside edges of flowers usually contrast strongly with the plant’s leaves while the centre of the flower does not have such a strong contrast with the leaf colour. This could help bees quickly identify colour differences and find their way to flowers.
While flowers may be beautiful to humans, Professor Hempel stressed that understanding more about bees and the threats they face meant we need to see the world “through the eyes of a bee and the mind of a bee.”
8. What does the new research focus on
A. The source of bees’ food supply. B. The way of bees finding flowers.
C. The effect of bees’ poor eyesight. D. The evolution of bees’ behavior.
9. What does Hempel think of flowers trying to evolve more colours
A. It’s not a must. B. It’s a pressing need.
C. It’s beyond belief. D. It’s a temporary solution.
10. What’s paragraph 6 mainly about
A. An explanation of the research intention.
B. Dramatic changes in the research strategy.
C. Conflict between different research outcomes.
D. Supporting evidence for the research findings.
11. What aspect of research into bees did Hempel highlight
A. Research data. B. Research methods.
C. Research objects. D. Research frequency.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍最新研究发现，蜜蜂在寻找食物时，不单是靠颜色，而且严重依赖花朵的图案来寻找花朵。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A team led by the University of Exeter tested bee behaviour and built bee’s-eye-view simulations (模拟装置) to work out how they see flowers.(埃克塞特大学领导的一个研究小组测试了蜜蜂的行为，并建立了蜜蜂的视角模拟，以研究它们是如何看花的)”可知，新的研究专注蜜蜂看花、找花的方式。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中Hempel的话“Our findings suggest that flowers don’t need to evolve too many different flower colours, because they can use patterns to vary their displays so bees can tell them apart from other flowers.(我们的研究结果表明，花朵不需要进化出太多不同的花朵颜色，因为它们可以利用图案来改变它们的展示效果，这样蜜蜂就可以把它们与其他花朵区分开来)”可知，亨佩尔认为花朵并不是必须进化出更多颜色。故选A项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“Our findings suggest that flowers don’t need to evolve too many different flower colours, because they can use patterns to vary their displays so bees can tell them apart from other flowers.(我们的研究结果表明，花朵不需要进化出太多不同的花朵颜色，因为它们可以利用图案来改变它们的展示效果，这样蜜蜂就可以把它们与其他花朵区分开来)”可知，研究发现蜜蜂通过图案来找到花朵。第六段“One typical feature identified in the study is that the outside edges of flowers usually contrast strongly with the plant’s leaves while the centre of the flower does not have such a strong contrast with the leaf colour. This could help bees quickly identify colour differences and find their way to flowers.(研究中发现的一个典型特征是，花的外边缘通常与植物的叶子形成强烈的对比，而花的中心与叶子的颜色没有这样强烈的对比。这可以帮助蜜蜂快速识别颜色差异，并找到通往花朵的路)”主要说明了花是如何通过颜色对比来形成图案，以便于蜜蜂识别并找到它们的，所以第六段是支持研究结论的证据。故选D项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中Hempel的话“We studied a large amount of data on plants and bee behaviour (我们研究了大量关于植物和蜜蜂行为的数据)”可知，对于蜜蜂的研究，Hempel强调了研究的数据。故选A项。

【详解】考查形容词。句意：警方让人困惑的交通标志让所有的司机都感到很困惑。分析句子结构，第一个空修饰后面的名词traffic directions，用形容词作定语，v+ing形式的形容词修饰物；第二个空，含有make + 宾语 + 宾语补足语结构，这里用形容词作宾补，修饰人，用v+ed形式的形容词。故选D。
34. _________ everything she needed _________, she left the supermarket.
A. As: to buy B. With; bought
C. With; having bought D. As; buying
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查with的复合结构。句意：她买了所有需要的东西，就离开了超市。分析句子结构可知，as后要接句子，所以句中用“with+名词/代词+非谓语动词”结构。she needed是定语，修饰everything。代词everything与buy之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词，作宾语补足语。故选B。
35. The newly designed shirt ______ me but the color ______ me well.
A. doesn't fit; fits B. isn't fit for; fits C. doesn't fit; suits D. isn't fit; suits

A. am taking B. have taken C. take D. will have taken
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意：我赢得了两个去法国度假的名额，我将带我的妈妈去。根据句意可知，我已经赢得了名额，我将要带我的妈妈去，应用一般将来时，come, go, arrive, leave，take 等有动作趋向的动词的现在进行时可以用来表示将来确切的计划，即现在进行表将来。故选A项。
37. _______ he knew nothing about her.
A. It seems that B. It seems as if
C. He seems that D. He seems as if
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意：看来他对她的事一无所知。这是一个含有两套主谓宾的复合句，主句谓语seems 与从句谓语knew时态不一致，说明为虚拟语气；it seems后既可以接that又可以接as if，但that从句必须用陈述语气；as if从句可用陈述语气或虚拟语气，所以本句应用as if连接，故选B。

A. doesn’t he B. hasn’t she C. does he D. has she
【答案】A
【解析】

39. —Were all the four people in the car injured in the accident
—NO. _________ only the driver who got hurt.
A. There is B. It were C. It was D. There was
【答案】C

【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：据说每天喝两杯以上咖啡的女性比不喝咖啡的女性患心脏病的几率更大。根据所给句子分析可知，第一个空为关系词引导定语从句，先行词为women，指人，关系词在从句中作主语，使用关系代词who或that引导；第二个空为关系词引导定语从句，先行词为those，指人，关系词在从句中作主语，只能使用关系代词who引导。故选C。
