Question

10．An African-born British scientist received an environment research prize for showing how bees can be used to reduce conflict between people and elephants．Lucy King's work proved that beehive（峰房）"fences"can keep elephants out of African farmers'fields．The animals are scared of bees，which can bite them inside their long noses，and flee when they hear buzzing（蜂鳴聲）．
Dr King's work offers an intelligent solution to an age-old challenge，while providing further confirmation of the importance of bees to people and a really clever way of preserving the world's largest land animal for current and future generations．Working in Kenya，Dr King and her team showed that more than 90% of elephants will flee when they hear the sounds of buzzing bees．Afterwards，they also found that elephants produce a special sound to warn their fellows of the danger．They used the findings to construct barriers where beehives are woven into a fence，keeping the elephants away from places where people live and grow food．
A two year project involving 34 farms showed that elephants trying to go through the fences would shake them，disturbing the bees．Later，the fences were adopted by farming communities in three Kenyan districts--who also made increased amounts of money from selling honey．
As Africa's population grows，competition for space between people and elephants is becoming more serious，and there are fatalities on both sides．The same is true in parts of Asia．Sri Lanka alone sees the deaths of all estimated 60 people and 200 elephants each year from conflict．
Lucy King now wants to see whether the Kenyan technique will work in other parts of Africa--and perhaps，eventually，in Asia．
71．The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means the same asC．
A．intelligent solution to an age-old challenge
B．confirmation of the importance of bees to people
C．competition for space between people and elephants
D．way of preserving the world's largest land animal
72．Which of the following orders of events correctly shows how Dr King's project works？B
①a．Beehive fences are built around a farm
②b．Elephants hear the buzzing and run away．
③c．Bees are disturbed and fly out of the beehives．
④d．Elephants trying to enter the farm shake the fences．
A．①a→②b→③c→d④B．①a→④d→c③→b②C．④d→③c→②b→a①D．a(chǎn)①→b②→d④→③c
73．Dr King's solution is described as"intelligent"becauseD．
A．it successfully Keeps elephants out of African farmers'fields
B．the fences Were adopted by farming communities in three Kenyan districts
C．more than 90% of elephants flee when they hear the sounds of buzzing bees
D．it protects crops．produces honey and preserves the dephant at the same time
74．The underlined word"fatalities"in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning toA．
A．deaths            B．communities      C．population       D．fences
75．Which of the following is true according to the passage？D
A．Dr king was born in Britain．
B．Most elephants scare bees．
C．The technique has proved to work well in Asia，too．
D．Conflicts between people and elephants are rather serious．

Answer 1

分析 本文講述了出生于非洲的英籍科學(xué)家Dr King，研究如何用蜜蜂減少人類與大象之間的沖突，因此獲得環(huán)境研究大獎．

解答 71．C 推理判斷題 根據(jù)Lucy King's work proved that beehive（峰房）"fences"can keep elephants out of African farmers'fields．可知劃線部分指的是人與大象在生存空間方面的競爭，故答案為C
72．B  推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章的前三段可知，Dr king先是把蜂房建立在農(nóng)場附近；大象想進(jìn)入農(nóng)場就試著破壞蜂房；蜜蜂被打擾到后就會飛出來并發(fā)出蜂鳴聲；大象聽到蜂鳴聲就會逃離，這就是他的計劃過程．選B．
73．D  細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段第一句"Dr King's work offers an intelligent solution to an ageold challenge，while providing furtherconfirmation of the importance of bees to people and a really clever way of preserving the world's largest land animal for current and future generations．"可知，Dr King提出的解決辦法既保護(hù)了大象--這一最大的陸地動物現(xiàn)有的數(shù)量和后代的繁殖，又確保了蜜蜂對人類的重要性．這就是Dr King的聰明之舉．選D．
74．A  猜測詞義題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段內(nèi)容可知，人類與大象之間關(guān)于生存空間的爭奪越來越激烈，導(dǎo)致了雙方不同程度的傷亡．亞洲和斯里蘭卡均報道過相關(guān)的死亡事件．此處的fatalities指的就是死亡，與A項最接近．選A．
75．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)文章最后一段As Africa's population grows，competition for space between people and elephants is becoming more serious，and there are fatalities on both sides．可以得知，人與大象之間的沖突挺嚴(yán)重，所以D項是正確的，故答案為D

點評 做閱讀時經(jīng)常犯錯的主要原因是，僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對于題目的理解一定要忠實于原文，因此，每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句，（1）排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項（2）排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項  （3）排除用于過于極端或負(fù)面的選項（4）注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除．
