Question

Honey(蜂蜜)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(巢)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一a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax (蜂蠟) 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 people as it leads them to the nest. When they
finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at 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.

本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了Honey-Lover's Helper獨特的掠食方式，幫助人和動物找到蜂蜜，待到他們吃掉蜂蜜后，它再吃蜂蠟�？茖W(xué)家們對此也感到迷惑不解。
1.根據(jù)文章第一段“Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them.”可知B正確。
【考點定位】考查細節(jié)理解。
2.根據(jù)文章中“In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper一a little bird called a honey guide.”可推知：跟在honey guide后面的是：people and animals，而他們統(tǒng)稱為honey seeker（尋找蜂蜜的人或動物們）。
【考點定位】考查判斷推理。
3.根據(jù)文章的最后一段可知：Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it.科學(xué)家們都不知道為什么honey guide對蜂蠟感興趣，當然他們獲得蜂蠟的方式也更加特別。
【考點定位】考查判斷推理。
4.文章通篇都在敘述有關(guān)Honey-Lover's Helper的事情，第一段通過敘述引出Honey-Lover's Helper中心詞；第二段敘述Honey-Lover's Helper獲取蜂蠟是過程；第三段科學(xué)家們對Honey-Lover's Helper的感到迷惑。
【考點定位】考查文章的標題總結(jié)。
