In ____3__ (part) of Africa, though, people and animals ____4___ (look) for honey have a strange and unexpected __5__(help)——a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide does not ____6___ (actual) like honey, but it does like the wax in the ___7____(beehive). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a ___8____ (suit) nest,it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that ___9___ (attract) the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention,it flies through the forest, ___10___(wait) from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest.
参考答案:
1解析为like后面可以跟doing或to do形式。
答案为eating/to eat。
2.解析为本空意为“蜂巢”,一个蜂巢中会有很多的蜜蜂,因此应用bee的复数形式的所有格,即bees’。
答案为bees’。
3.解析为因为前面没有冠词或物主代坷的修饰,所以此处应填入part的复数形式。
答案为parts。
4.解析为因句中已有谓语动词have,所以people and animals后面应为后置定语,与look为主谓关系,因此look应为其-ing形式。
答案为looking。
5.解析为此处应给help加-er构成helper(帮忙的人),指的是后面的a honey guide。
答案为helper。
6.解析为动词like需要副词修饰,因此应填入actual的副词形式actually。
答案为actually。
7.解析为此处填入复数形式最好,因为并不是指某一个“蜂房”。
答案为beehives。
8.解析为名词nest前应用形容词修饰。suit的形容词形式为suitable舒适的。
答案为suitable 。
9.解析为定语从句的时态和主句一致,因此应填入attract的第三人称单数形式。
答案为attracts。
10.解析为主句中谓语为fly,因此此处wait为伴随状语,需用其-ing形式。
答案为waiting。
[单选题]They Say Ireland's the Best
Ireland is the best place in the world to live for 2005, according to a life quality ranking that appeared in Britain’s E-conomist magazine last week.
The ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the World is based on the principle that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being.
The index of 111 countries uses data on incomes, health, unemployment, climate, political stability Job security ,gender equality as well as what the magazine calls "freedom, family and community life".
Despite the bad weather, troubled health service, traffic congestion, gender inequality, and the high cost of living,Ireland scored an impressive 8. 33 points out of 10.
That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland, which managed 8. 07. Zimbabwe, troubled by political insecurity and hunger,is rated the gloomiest,picking up only 3. 89 points.
“Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued,”the report said,"some of the factors associated with modernization such as the breakdown in traditional institutions and family values in part take away from a positive impact.”
“Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old, such as stable family and community life.”
The magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do.and that its findings would have their critics.
No.2 on the list is Switzerland. The other nations in the top 10 are Norway, Luxembourg. Sweden, Australia, Iceland. Italy,Denmark and Spain.
The U. K. is positioned at No. 29,a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family breakdown recorded in official statistics. The U. S. , which has the second highest per capita GDP after Luxembourg, took the 13th place in the survey. China was in the lower half of the league at 60th.
To measure life quality is easy()。

[单选题]Job or Money?
Would you quit your job if you didn't need the money? In a 1990 poll by the Gallop Organization, many people said quitting work was an important reason to be rich. Yet researchers find that work is one of life's chief satisfactions for people.
Consider W. Berry Fowler. In 1979, Fowler started a tutoring company that became so successful he was able to sell out and retire in 1978—a multimillionaire at 40. He bought a 50-foot cabin cruiser and a house in Hawaii,and busied himself vacationing.
But after five years of perpetual vacation, Fowler began to miss the challenges of work. So in 1992, he bought a fitness chain for children and now spends 75 hours a week immersed in balance sheets and staff meetings. "My best days on the golf course weren't half as much fun as a good day at the office,"he says.
A job, studies show, is more than a paycheck. Doing something well can increase confidence and self-worth. When sociologist H.Ray Kaplan surveyed 139 lottery millionaires, he discovered 60 percent continued working at least a year after they'd won.
If jobs are so important, wouldn't salary size be a gauge of job satisfaction? Americans think so. A survey conducted last year by Roper Starch Worldwide, Inc., found that almost 70 percent of the respondents said they would be happier if their families had twice as much household income. Yet studies show that job satisfaction comes less from how much people earn than from the challenge of their jobs and the control they are able to exert, Work that doesn't engage a person will never seem rewarding,no matter how lucrative it becomes.
When a person can engage in the job,the rewarding will come.()。

[问答题]The Making of a Success Story
IKEA is the world’s largest furniture retailer,and the man behind it is Ingvar Kamprad, one of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs. Born in Sweden in 1926, Kamprad was a natural business man. As a child,he enjoyed selling things and made small profits from selling matches,seeds and pencils in his community. When Kamprad was 17,his father gave him some money as a reward for his good grades. Naturally he used it to start up a business IKEA.
IKEA’s name comes form Kamprad’s initials (I.K.)and the place where he grew up (‘E’ and ‘A’). Today IKEA is known for its modern,minimalist furniture,but it was not a furniture company in the beginning. Rather, IKEA sold all kinds of miscellaneous goods. Kamprad"s wares included anything that he could sell for profits at low prices, including watches, pens and stockings.
IKEA first began to sell furniture through a mail-order catalogue in 1947. The furniture was all designed and made by manufactures near Kamprad"s home. Initial sales were very encouraging, so Kamprad expanded the product line. Furniture was such a successful aspect of the business that IKEA became solely a furniture company in 1951.
In 1953 IKEA opened its first showroom in Almhult,Sweden, IKEA is known today for its spacious stress with furniture in attractive settings, but in the early 1950s, people ordered from catalogues. Thus response to the first showroom was overwhelming: people loved being able to see and try the furniture before buying it. This led to increased sales and the company continued to thrive. By 1955, IKEA was designing all its own furniture.
In 1956 Kamprad saw a man disassembling a table to make it easier to transport. Kamprad was inspired. The man had given him a great idea: flat packaging. Flat packaging would mean lower shipping costs for IKEA and lower prices for customers. IKEA tried it and sales soared. The problem was that people had to assemble furniture themselves, but over time, even this grew into an advantage for IKEA. Nowadays,IKEA is often seen as having connotations of self-sufficiency. This image has done wonders for the company, leading to better sales and continued expansion.

16.Paragraph1____.
17.Paragraph2____.
18.Paragraph3____.

20.Paragraph5____.
A.Ingvar Kamprad—a born businessman

In Poland in the 1960s,according to a Polish woman who e-mailed me,"the authorities introduced the Hitchhiker"s Booklet. The booklet contained coupons for drivers,so each time a driver ___8____ somebody,he or she received a coupon. At the end of the season,drivers who had picked up the most hikers were rewarded with various prizes. Everybody was hitchhiking then."
Surely this is a good idea for society. Hitchhiking would increase respect by breaking down____9___between strangers. It would help fight global warming by cutting down on fuel consumption as hitchhikers would be using existing fuels.

[单选题]The Difference between Man and Computer
What makes people different from computer programs? What is the missing element that our theories don’t yet ____31___ for?

[单选题]Electricity
The modern age is an age of electricity. People are so used to electric lights, radio, televisions, and telephones that it is hard to imagine what life would be like without them. When there is a power failure, people grope about in flickering candlelight, cars hesitate in the streets because there are no traffic lights to guide them, and food spoils in silent refrigerators. Yet, people began to understand how electricity works only a little more than two centuries ago. Nature has apparently been experimenting in this field for millions of years. Scientists are discovering more and more that the living world may hold many interesting secrets of electricity that could benefit humanity.
All living cells send out tiny pulses of electricity. As the heart beats, it sends out pulses of record; they form an electrocardiogram, which a doctor can study to determine how well the heart is working. The brain, too, sends out brain waves of electricity, which can be recorded in an electroencephalogram. The electric currents generated by most living cells are extremely small—often so small that sensitive instruments are needed to record them. But in some animals, certain muscle cells have become so specialized as electrical generators that they do not work as muscle cells at all. When large numbers of these cells are linked together, the effects can be astonishing.
The electric eel is an amazing storage battery. It can send a jolt of as much as eight hundred volts of electricity through the water in which it lives. ( An electric house current is only one hundred twenty volts.) As many as four fifths of all the cells in the electric eel’s body are specialized for generating electricity, and the strength of the shock it can deliver corresponds roughly to the length of its body.
It can be inferred from the passage that the longer an eel is the().
Amore beneficial it will be to science
Bmore powerful its electrical charge will be
Ceasier it will be to find
Dtougher it will be to eat
