Unit 3 Inventors and inventions一、閱讀理解。Bees play a vital role in the world.Unfortunately，bees are dying by the second.The main purpose of bees is to make honey.Honey, shockingly，does not exist for human consumption；it is essential to the insects.Honeybees store honey in their hives (蜂箱)in order for the bees to have energy for their flight muscles and for heating the hives during the winter period.They collect pollen(花粉)which supplies protein for young bees to grow.According to National Honey Board，the increased production and quality of agricultural crops as a result of honeybee pollination are valued at more than $14.6 billion per year.These insects are responsible for over 70 of the fruits and vegetables we eat today，including apples，grapes，coffee, beans，and broccoli.So if they are so valuable to agriculture，why do they keep dying off？A key suspect seems to be pesticides(農藥)Honeybees who are exposed to pesticides result in the damage to their neurological(神經系統(tǒng)的)functions, specifically memory or behavior.And thats why the majority of worker bees disappear and leave behind a queen，plenty of food and a few nurse bees to care for the remaining immature bees and the queen.There are several other causes of the decline of bees，including the destruction of natural habitats，like woodlands，forests，and other habitats for bees.Climate change is also a factor in the decline of the wild bee population.Actually，there are a variety of methods to help the bee population grow.One way is to start your own organic garden by planting beefriendly plants.Pesticides are used in both industrial practices and even in your home，so it is best to find organic seeds and weed killers.1Why do honeybees store honey in their hives?ATo provide enough honey for humans to consume.BTo draw protein out of honey for young bees.CTo help attract other insects and make hives stronger.DTo strengthen bee muscles and heat hives in winter.2Apples and beans are mentioned in the third paragraph to show that _.Abees supply human beings with basic foodBbees mainly live on these agricultural cropsCbees are of great importance to fruits and vegetablesDbees can bring in more money for farmers every year3What is most likely to cause the worker bees to leave their hives behind?AThe lack of food.BThe abuse of pesticides.CThe fighting among bees.DThe destruction of the habitats.4What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?AAnother way to save bees.BOther tips for choosing seeds.CMore methods to plant green organic fruits.DCauses of the decline in the wild bee population.【解題導語】本文是一篇說明文。蜜蜂在生物世界里起著重要的作用，但是由于農藥的濫用，蜜蜂正在大批死亡。本文給出了增加蜜蜂數量的方法和建議?！倦y句分析】These insects are responsible for over 70 of the fruits and vegetables we eat today，including apples，grapes，coffee，beans, and broccoli.分析：本句為主從復合句，句中we eat today為省略了that的定語從句，修飾先行詞the fruits and vegetables。譯文：這些昆蟲對我們如今所食用的超過70種的水果和蔬菜負責，包括蘋果、葡萄、咖啡、豆類和西蘭花。1D考查細節(jié)理解。根據第二段的第三句“Honeybees store honey in their hives(蜂箱)in order for the bees to have energy for their flight muscles and for heating the hives during the winter period”可知，蜜蜂儲藏蜂蜜是為了增強飛行肌肉的力量，在冬天為蜂箱加熱，故D項正確。2C考查細節(jié)理解。根據第三段的“These insects are responsible for over 70 of the fruits and vegetables we eat today，including apples，grapes，coffee，beans，and broccoli”可知，該段提及蘋果和豆類旨在說明蜜蜂對水果和蔬菜的重要作用，故C項正確。3B考查細節(jié)理解。根據第四段的“Honeybees who are exposed to pesticides.And thats why the majority of worker bees disappear”可知，農藥的濫用導致了工蜂離開蜂箱，故B項正確。4A考查推理判斷。根據第五段的第一、二句“Actually，there are a variety of methods to help the bee population grow.One way is to start your own organic garden by planting beefriendly plants”可知，該段主要介紹了幫助蜜蜂增加數量的方法之一：種植對蜜蜂無害的植物。據此可以推斷，下文將介紹其他的幫助增加蜜蜂數量的方法，故A項正確。二、單句語法填空1Some people say that classical music _(associate) only with old people.答案：is associatedbe associated with . “與有關”。2Though we are living a better life, I cant bear _(see) food thrown away.答案：seeingcant bear doing . “不能忍受做某事”。3What was it that distinguished her _her classmates?答案：fromdistinguish . from . “把與區(qū)分/辨別開”。4We must always bear in mind _China is a big country with a huge population.答案：thatbear in mind that . “記住”。5The service offers young people _(practice) advice on finding a job.答案：practical此處應用形容詞修飾其后的名詞advice。practical “實用的；實際的；實踐的”。6We all have an _(expect) that he can pass the driving test next week.答案：expectation由空前的冠詞可知應填名詞。7In my opinion, only by facing difficulties bravely and _ (seize) opportunities can one succeed.答案：seizing該句為“only狀語”位于句首引起倒裝的句式。face與seize為and連接的兩個并列成分，且均作by的賓語，故由facing可知應填seizing。8It was not until she got home _ Jennifer realized she had lost her keys.答案：that該句為含有not until的強調句。由該句型“It is/wasnot until .that其他”可知，應填that。9She _(tap) me on the shoulder but I didnt feel it.答案：tapped由but連接并列成分可知，設空處動詞在句中作謂語；且后面并列句的謂語為didnt .，所以空格處也應用一般過去時，應填tapped。10Prices of daily goods _ (buy) through a puter can be lower than store prices.答案：bought過去分詞短語在句中作后置定語修飾goods。三、完形填空。Not many people can say theyve been hit by a vehicle, but I can.
