问题 单项选择题

我是一只小蜜蜂。我们蜜蜂是过群体生活的。在一个蜂群中有三种蜂:一只蜂王、少数雄蜂和几千到几万只工蜂。我就是这千万只工蜂之一。

我的母亲就是蜂王,它的身体很大,几乎丧失了飞行能力。但没有关系,它有千千万万个儿女,我们可以供养它。在我的家族中,只有蜂王可以产卵,它一昼夜能为我们生下1.5万到2万个兄弟。蜂王的寿命大约是三年到五年,是家族里活得最久的。

在蜂群中还有一种蜂叫雄蜂,它和我们大不相同。它身体粗壮,翅也长。它的责任就是和蜂王交尾。交尾之后,它也就一命呜呼了。要说家族中数量最多、职责最大的,还是我们工蜂。我们是蜂群的主要成员,工作也最繁重:采集花粉、花蜜,酿制我们的“口粮”,哺育我们的弟弟们,喂养我们的母亲,修造我们的房子,保护家园,调节室内温度和湿度……别看工作这么多,我们的身体其实是非常弱小的,我们的寿命也只有6个月,就像天空的流星一样——一闪即逝,仅有一点儿时间去闪耀自己的光辉。

我们蜜蜂是自然界里最勤劳的了。开花时节,我们忙得忘记早晚,有时还趁着月色采花酿蜜。蜜是很难酿的,我们要酿一公斤蜜,必须在100万朵花上采集原料。如果我们的蜂巢与采蜜的花丛距离一公里半,那么我们采一公斤蜜就得飞上45万公里,差不多等于绕地球赤道飞行11圈。看样子,我们的功业并不次于“阿波罗号”呢!虽然我们采蜜难,但每年一窝蜂都能采几十斤蜜。在广东的同族们一年四季都不闲着。如果动物世界也有颁奖的话,那么我们蜜蜂一定能获得“最热爱劳动奖章”。

工蜂的寿命是多长()

A.3年到5年

B.1年

C.6个月

D.不一定

答案

参考答案:C

解析:

第三段结尾时提到“我们的寿命也只有6个月”,因此选C。

This year, about 2,300 teenagers from all over the world will spend about 10 months in US homes. At the same time about 1,300 American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and learn the rest of the world.
Here is a 2-way student exchange in action .Fred,19, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived .But after 2 months of studying, the language became easy for him. School was completely different from what he had expected and it was much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took 14 subjects instead of 6 that were usually taken in the US.
Family life ,too, was different. The father’s word was the law. All the activities were done with the family rather than individually .Fred found the food to be too simple at first. He also missed having a car.
“Back home ,you pick up some friends in a car and go out to have a good time .In Germany, you walk but you soon learn to like it .”
At the same time, in America, Mike ,a friendly German boy, was also forming his own ideas. “I suppose I should criticize American schools” he says , “It is far too easy for our level but I have to say that I like it a lot. In Germany, we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many other activities. I think that maybe American schools are better than in training their citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
