　　明天就要高考了，今天小編準備了一些比較有代表性的高考英語閱讀理解題給大家考前練練手，希望可以幫助同學們在高考前盡快找到自己的做題狀態(tài)。

　　美麗世界

　　(2012·新課標全國卷)Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar，it is also delicious.Most people，and many animals，like eating it.However，the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it.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 in the beehives (蜂房).The little bird cannot reach this wax，which is deep inside the bees' nest.So，when it finds a suitable nest，it looks for someone to help it.The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people.Once it 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.When they finally arrive at the nest，the_follower reaches in to get the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches.Some of the honey，and the 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.The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away.They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives，and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.

　　【語篇解讀】 非洲森林中甜美的蜂蜜讓人類和動物垂涎欲滴，可尋找隱藏在高樹上的蜂巢卻并非易事。幸運的是，一種對蜂蠟情有獨鐘的奇怪的小鳥可以主動提供幫助，順便分一杯羹。

　　1.Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?

　　A.It's small in size. B.It's hidden in trees.

　　C.It's covered with wax. D.It's hard to recognize.

　　答案　B　[考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Often，these nests are high up in trees，and it is difficult to find them.”可判斷出，之所以難以發(fā)現(xiàn)蜂巢是因為它隱藏在高高的樹上。]

　　2.What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

　　A.A bee. B.A bird.

　　C.A honey seeker. D.A beekeeper.

　　答案　C　[考查詞義猜測。結合上文中的“...both passing animals and people...”以及“...the curious animal or person...”可推知，the follower指的是“尋找蜂蜜者”。]

　　3.The honey guide is special in the way ________.

　　A.it gets its food B.it goes to church

　　C.it sings in the forest D.it reaches into bees' nests

　　答案　A　[考查推理判斷。這種鳥是借助他人之手最終獲得自己想要的食物的，這正是它的特殊之處。]

　　4.What can be the best title of the text?

　　A.Wild Bees B.Wax and Honey

　　C.Beekeeping in Africa D.Honey­Lover's Helper

　　答案　D　[考查主旨大意。第一段最后一句點明了本文的中心話題，下文都圍繞這種小鳥展開敘述，所以D項最能概括文章大意。]

　　“I can't believe it.These blooms have lasted so long this year，” my wife said.

　　“I hadn't really thought about it，but you are right.As much as I love lilacs，they come and go so fast，” I said.

　　It has been incredibly exciting this year here in my backyard.Our lilac tree has produced the most blooms I have ever seen.The scent is so wonderful that I spend a lot of time just standing on our small deck breathing it all in.

　　Many of the branches are hollow and cracked leaving me to believe it has seen many springs.A few winters ago one of the biggest branches crashed to the ground under the weight of melting snow.It broke my heart.I guess I wasn't expecting much from the old thing this year.But it is magnificent!

　　Since we have been experiencing so much rain lately the flowers have become hearten.The once tall branches seem to be under a lot of pressure.There are big gaps because the branches are lower.

　　Sadly，today I noticed the first bunch of flowers turning brown.It won't be long until they are all gone.But here's what I've learned from them.

　　Some people are like fragrant flowers.They come into our lives ever so briefly and leave behind scent that remains embedded in our being.They brighten our day by just having had contact with them even if for a moment.In the coldest，darkest days of the winter of my life，the memory of them will get me through it all and bring a smile to my face and I will have “spring forever in my heart”.

　　embedded adj.鑲嵌的
