A． B． C． D． 二、 进阶练习 Passage 6 Today, we have some facts about animals that you may not know. ★If you think that the noisiest land animal would be something like an elephant or even a lion, you are wrong. It is a monkey. The howler monkey is the noisiest land animal. You can hear his cries over two miles away. ★We know that a man usually needs about eight hours’ sleep at night. Well, guess how much sleep an elephant needs? An elephant only sleeps about two hours a day. ★Do you know the Disney movie The Lion King? The little lion. Simba, roars (吼叫) in the movie. Well, in fact, a lion cannot roar before it is two years old. ★You may think all zebras look the same because of their stripes (条纹), but no two zebras have the same stripes. ★So how do you tell the difference between a toad (蟾蜍) and a frog? Well, one way is that a frog can jump but a toad can’t. ★And another interesting thing is that elephants are the only mammals (哺乳动物) in the world that can’t jump. 1.What is the noisiest land animal?

A．Animals you may not know B．Interesting facts about animals C．Strange living habits of animals D．The funniest animals in the world Passage 7 Elephants shouldn’t be in captivity (圈养) Elephants are really fantastic animals. We now have good reasons to believe that they are some of the most clever and social animals around. This makes us think about how we should take care of them. In the past ten years, there have been stories about elephants with surprising skills. Scientists (科学家) have found that elephants are even cleverer than we used to think. Elephants in the wild show their intelligence (智慧) in many ways. For example, they remember where water holes (坑) are and go back there to drink later. They can use their trunks to reach food and water in hard-to-reach places. They might even know who they are. New studies tell us that wild elephants have many other special social skills. They talk to each other in different ways and make decisions together. They work together to solve problems. Also, elephants are very helpful to each other. Mothers and children stay together in families. They take care of each other’s babies and protect the young ones. What’s more, elephants have strong friendships. They are sad when one of them dies. When one elephant is sad, others try to make it happy. When they succeed (成功), they celebrate together. Some scientists think elephants shouldn’t be in captivity. Zoos can’t give them the right living environment like the wild. Their great intelligence means they need more space. We should think about setting them free. Keeping such clever animals in captivity is wrong. In the future, we might look back and be surprised that we ever did this. 1.What have scientists found in the past ten years? A．Elephants are more social than before. B．Elephants have the same skills as humans. C．Elephants are cleverer than we thought before. D．Elephants have the intelligence to make stories. 2.According to Paragraph 3, how do elephants show their intelligence? A．They can remember places with water. B．They can use their trunks to know weather. C．They build their homes in small water holes. D．They talk to other animals to know each other. 3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

D．Humans have strong friendships with elephants. 4.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To call on people to set elephants free. B．To talk about the food problems of animals. C．To describe elephants’ influences on nature. D．To explain the reasons of studying elephants. Passage 8 Plants are very important. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and humans (人类) can’t make food from air, water or sunlight. Animals can get their food by eating plants and other animals. Humans get food by eating plants and animals, too. So animals and humans need plants to live. This is why there are so many plants around us. Scientists classify plants into two kinds—flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Almost all the trees around us are flowering plants. You can know some trees from their flowers and fruits. Non-flowering plants do not grow flowers. You can’t see many non-flowering plants around us. If you look at the plants around us carefully, you will find that there are many kinds of plants. Some plants are large and some are small. Most of them are green. Because of the plants around us, we can live on earth. 1.We need many plants around us because ________ according to the passage. A．plants are green B．plants can grow easily C．we like all kinds of plants D．we can get food from plants 2.What does the underlined word “classify” mean in Chinese? A．将……分类 B．浪费 C．向……挑战 D．引起……的注意 3.Which of the following is TRUE? A．Plants are very important. B．Most of plants are red. C．Scientists classify plants into three kinds. D．You can see many non-flowering plants around us. 4.What is the best title (标题) of the passage? A．Food from Plants B．Plants and Animals C．Plants Around Us D．Humans and Animals Passage 9 Plants have roots, leaves and flowers. They have seeds, too. New plants grow from seeds. Some seeds fall on the ground. New plants grow next to the old plants. When plants grow in this way, they are too crowded to get enough sunlight and water. So some of them die. But some plants spread (传播) their seeds even far from where they live. These seeds grow in new places. There are many ways for the seeds to travel. The wind helps seeds to travel. Some plant seeds have little wings (翅膀). When the wind blows, the seeds fly away. Soon they fall to the ground and new plants may grow there. Some plants dry up. The wind pulls them up from the ground, but they are so big that they can’t fly. They roll (卷) along the ground, dropping off their seeds. Other plants grow near the water. Their seeds drop into the water and go away with it. They may travel many miles (英里) before they stop. Some seeds have special parts called “stickers”. The stickers help the seeds travel far. How do the seeds travel? These seeds wait for an animal to walk by. Then they stick into its fur (毛) to get a free ride (旅途). Sometimes it’s a long trip. Birds carry some plant seeds to new places, too. Seeds can’t walk. They can’t run. But they can travel with the help of wind, water and animals. 1.What will happen if plants are crowded? A．Some of them can live better. B．Some of them can grow taller. C．Some of them will die. D．Some of them will be stronger. 2.How many ways do the seeds travel in total (总共)? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 3.What can help the seeds to travel according to the passage? A．Leaves and flowers. B．Roots and stems. C．Wind, water and animals. D．Wings and the sunlight. 4.What’s the best title for the passage? A．The growth of the plants B．The kinds of the seeds C．The travel of the seeds D．The ways of plants to grow better 5.What’s the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． Passage 10 Many plants have flowers. Part of the flower becomes a fruit. Many types of fruit are good to eat. You often find seeds inside fruits. There are many types of seeds. When seeds are planted, they grow into new plants. Let’s do the steps (步骤) and find out more about seeds. But be careful! These steps are mixed up, and they are in the wrong order (顺序). Steps: ①Carefully cut the fruit in half. Be sure to do this safely, with your parents’ help if needed. ②Write down or draw what you see. Note any differences between the seeds of different fruits. ③Choose different kinds of fruits, such as apples, oranges, or tomatoes. Different fruits have different kinds of seeds. ④Look for the seeds in the middle of the fruit. In some fruits, the seeds may be easy to find, while in others, they may be hard to find. If you have a safe space, try planting the seeds to see if they grow into new plants. Be sure to do the right steps for planting. 1.In which picture can you see seeds? A． B． C． D． 2.Which is the right order of the steps? A．③①④② B．①③④② C．①③②④ D．③①②④ 3.Where may the passage from? A．A storybook. B．A science magazine. C．A noticeboard. D．A history book. Passage 11 Plants need certain things to live, grow and stay healthy. The following pictures will show you what they need to survive. Plants use light to make their own food. If you leave a plant near a window, it will bend (弯曲) and grow toward the light. It tries to get as much as sunshine as possible. Plants need water to survive and stay strong. When a plant does not get enough water, its stem (茎) will become soft and hung down, and also its leaves will be weak and dry. Plants will grow best when the temperature is just right for them. Some plants like hot weather, while others prefer cooler conditions. All plants need air. They use the gas carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) from air to make food, and they use oxygen from air to give off energy from food. 1.Which of the following environments is suitable for plants to grow? A．A planet without any water. B．A room in complete darkness. C．A box free of carbon dioxide. D．A farm with proper temperature. 2.What can plants use air for? A．To get food from the soil. B．To save energy from food. C．To control their temperature. D．To produce the food they need. 3.Which part of a magazine is the passage probably from? A．B． C． D． 三、 高阶提升 Passage 12 Animals are great friends to humans. We love how cute they are. They are smarter than we think. Heal their own wounds Animals can heal (治愈) their wounds (伤口) by themselves. In Sumatra, Indonisia, there was a male orangutan (红毛猩猩) named Rakus. He got hurt in a fight with another male orangutan and there was a wound on his face. Three days later, scientists saw Rakus picking leaves from a vine (藤). These leaves could help with pain (疼痛) and heal wounds. Rakus chewed (咀嚼) the leaves and put the juice on his wound. This was the first time scientists saw a wild animal using plants to heal itself. Talk to their friends Just like people, animals can talk to their friends too. For example, killer whales (虎鲸) have their own languages. They can make sounds to communicate, such as whistles (哨声) and pulsed (脉冲的) calls. When their friends are nearby, they may use whistles to say hello. Pulsed calls are short, repeated sounds. They might help group members recognize (辨别) each other and work together. A baby killer whale can learn similar pulsed calls from its mother. They also hit their heads or snap their mouths to show they are angry. Use tools People often use tools in their daily lives. But in the animal world, only a few animals can use tools to get their food, and the sea otter (海獭) is one of them. Sea otters like to eat abalone (鲍鱼) and sea urchins (海胆). Both are easy to break open. However, in many areas, these foods are becoming less. Sea otters have to eat more crabs and mussels (贻贝). All these have hard shells (壳). To open these shells without hurting their teeth, sea otters can use tools like shells and rocks. Remember their food spots In nature, it is an important skill for animals to hide (藏) food and find it again. Mountain chickadees (山雀) are good at this. These birds can hide lots of seeds in different places like tree bark (树皮). When winter comes, they can easily find their hidden food again. According to scientists, chickadees can remember tens of thousands of spots (地点) where they hide food during the winter. The skill can help chickadees to stay alive during the cold winter months. 1.What kind of animals can talk with each other to change the information? A．Male orangutan. B．Killer whales. C．Sea otter. D．Mountain chickadees. 2.What did Rakus use to heal his wound? A．Wine. B．Leaves. C．Rocks. D．Shells. 3.How can killer whales talk to their friends? A．By helping group members recognize (辨别) each other. B．By learning similar pulsed calls from its mother. C．By making sounds such as whistles and pulsed calls. D．Killer whales also hit their heads or snap their mouths to show they are angry. 4.Why do mountain chickadees hide lots of seeds in different places? A．Because they can easily find their hidden seeds again in winter. B．Because these seeds could help with pain (疼痛) and heal wounds. C．Because they might help group members recognize (辨别) each other and work together. D．Because this skill can help chickadees to stay alive during the cold winter months. 5.What do sea otters use shells and rocks to do? A．To open these shells of crabs and mussels without hurting their teeth. B．It is an important skill for animals to use shells and rocks. C．To talk to their friends. D．Use tools to get their food, such as abalone (鲍鱼) and sea urchins (海胆). 6.Where can we read this passage? A．In a travel guide. B．In a magazine. C．In a cook book. D．In an ad. Passage 13 28th July, 1973, is a big day for fish. Two little mummichogs (花鳉) became the first fish in space. They lived in a plastic bag aboard Skylab. Three weeks later, they learned how to swim in zero gravity (零重力). 51 years later, four zebrafish are now swimming aboard China’s Tiangong Space Station. This is for a space experiment to see how very little gravity changes how fish live and grow. We know people feel weightless in space. But very little gravity can cause more changes. It affects almost all our body activities. If we’re going to live more in space in the future, we need to understand these changes. People are hard to study though. So, scientists study fish instead. Zebrafish have helped us learn about living things. They may seem different, but have many similar body parts with us. “Their bodies often work like ours,” explains Aaron van Loon, a biologist at the University of Washington. Zebrafish are also small and easy to take care of. And, they’re clear before they are born. Scientists can look inside them while they’re growing. Zebrafish have been in many medical studies. In space too, they’re studied since the 1970s. In 2015, zebrafish on the International Space Station helped learn how muscles get weak in very little gravity. Like astronauts, fish are carefully picked for space trips. They always have a job to do. Our little friends in water are helping us learn to travel in space safely. 1.Why was 28th July, 1973 a big day for fish? A．Because mummichogs were first used in an experiment. B．Because two mummichogs became the first fish in space. C．Because fish farming became successful in space since then. D．Because two mummichogs were successfully hatched that day. 2.What does the zebrafish study on China’s Tiangong Space Station want to find out? A．How zebrafish get used to space life. B．If zebrafish live without gravity. C．How little gravity changes the way fish grow and live. D．If zebrafish live the same in space as on the Earth. 3.What does the passage tell us? A．Fish are used in many studies in space today. B．Fish are leading the way to explore space safely. C．Fish help check how our body changes in space. D．Fish are used to check if space has very little gravity. 4.What does the writer think of these fish? A．Helpful. B．Interesting. C．Wonderful. D．Amazing. 5.What is the main idea of the passage? A．Fish were taken into space successfully. B．Fish have many body parts like ours. C．Fish are see-through for scientists to study. D．Fish help us learn about living in space. Passage 14 (Before breakfast, 8-year-old Fern sees her dad go out with an ax.) Fern: Where’s Dad going with the ax? Mum: To the hog house (猪舍). Some pigs were born (出生) last night. Fern: But I don’t know why he needs an ax. Mum: One of the pigs is very small and weak (虚弱), and it will never grow into a big and strong one. So your dad plans to kill (杀死) it with the ax. Fern: Kill it? (Fern runs to the hog house very quickly. On her way, she can smell the spring.) Fern: Please don’t kill it, Dad. Please… Dad: I know how to raise (饲养) pigs. Now go home. Fern: Just because it is very small and weak? If I had been very small at birth (出生时), would you have killed me? Dad: That’s different! A little girl is one thing, but a little weak pig is another! Fern: That’s not different! It is about life! (Dad doesn’t say a word. A few minutes later… ) Dad: All right! You go back home and I will bring the little thing back when I come in. I’ll let you start raising it with a bottle of milk, like a baby. Then you’ll know how difficult it is to raise a pig. (Fern feels happy. She is sure that she can make it.) —A passage from Charlotte’s Web 1.Which is the picture of an “ax”? A． B． C． D． 2.The pigs were born in _____. A．spring B．summer C．autumn D．winter 3.What does “the little thing” refer to (指代)? A．The girl Fem. B．The hog house. C．The little weak pig. D．The bottle of milk. 4.What can we learn from the reading? A．The story starts in the afternoon. B．Fern’s dad doesn’t listen to her at all. C．Fern’s dad raised pigs for the first time. D．Fern thinks she can raise the pig very well. Passage 15 You may think that there is only one kind of bee, the kind that buzzes (嗡嗡响) around your food when you eat outside. In fact, there are about 20,000 kinds of bees around the world. Let’s learn more about the hardworking bees who make honey—the honeybees! Honeybees are black and yellow. They have six legs and wings that help them fly. They live in big houses called hives. There they make honey by collecting food from flowers. In the hive, there’s a special bee called the queen. She lays eggs (产卵) to make baby bees. Worker bees are girls who do all the hard work. They build the hive, protect it, and fly far away to find food. Boys called drones (雄蜂) don’t have jobs in the hive, but they help make new bees with the queen. Here are some interesting facts about honeybees: Honeybees can fly up to 9 km. If a honeybee stings (叮) someone, it will lose its life. Honeybees use the sun as a compass to find their way. They dance to give information to other honeybees Honeybees are super helpers for our world! They visit lowers and carry pollen (花粉) from one to another. That helps plants make fruits and vegetables. Without honeybees, we wouldn’t have many of the foods we love to eat. So, next time you see a honeybee, don’t hurt it. 1.How many kinds of honeybees are talked about in the passage? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 2.What do worker bees do according to the passage? A．They make new bees with the queen. B．They dance to make the queen happy. C．They help other bees to find their way.

We now have good reasons to believe that they are some of the most clever and social animals around. This makes us think about how we should take care of them. In the past ten years, there have been stories about elephants with surprising skills. Scientists (科学家) have found that elephants are even cleverer than we used to think. Elephants in the wild show their intelligence (智慧) in many ways. For example, they remember where water holes (坑) are and go back there to drink later. They can use their trunks to reach food and water in hard-to-reach places. They might even know who they are. New studies tell us that wild elephants have many other special social skills. They talk to each other in different ways and make decisions together. They work together to solve problems. Also, elephants are very helpful to each other. Mothers and children stay together in families. They take care of each other’s babies and protect the young ones. What’s more, elephants have strong friendships. They are sad when one of them dies. When one elephant is sad, others try to make it happy. When they succeed (成功), they celebrate together. Some scientists think elephants shouldn’t be in captivity. Zoos can’t give them the right living environment like the wild. Their great intelligence means they need more space. We should think about setting them free. Keeping such clever animals in captivity is wrong. In the future, we might look back and be surprised that we ever did this. 1.What have scientists found in the past ten years? A．Elephants are more social than before. B．Elephants have the same skills as humans. C．Elephants are cleverer than we thought before. D．Elephants have the intelligence to make stories. 2.According to Paragraph 3, how do elephants show their intelligence? A．They can remember places with water.

This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and humans (人类) can’t make food from air, water or sunlight. Animals can get their food by eating plants and other animals. Humans get food by eating plants and animals, too. So animals and humans need plants to live. This is why there are so many plants around us. Scientists classify plants into two kinds—flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Almost all the trees around us are flowering plants. You can know some trees from their flowers and fruits. Non-flowering plants do not grow flowers. You can’t see many non-flowering plants around us. If you look at the plants around us carefully, you will find that there are many kinds of plants. Some plants are large and some are small. Most of them are green. Because of the plants around us, we can live on earth. 1.We need many plants around us because ________ according to the passage. A．plants are green B．plants can grow easily C．we like all kinds of plants D．we can get food from plants 2.What does the underlined word “classify” mean in Chinese?

They have seeds, too. New plants grow from seeds. Some seeds fall on the ground. New plants grow next to the old plants. When plants grow in this way, they are too crowded to get enough sunlight and water. So some of them die. But some plants spread (传播) their seeds even far from where they live. These seeds grow in new places. There are many ways for the seeds to travel. The wind helps seeds to travel. Some plant seeds have little wings (翅膀). When the wind blows, the seeds fly away. Soon they fall to the ground and new plants may grow there. Some plants dry up. The wind pulls them up from the ground, but they are so big that they can’t fly. They roll (卷) along the ground, dropping off their seeds. Other plants grow near the water. Their seeds drop into the water and go away with it. They may travel many miles (英里) before they stop. Some seeds have special parts called “stickers”. The stickers help the seeds travel far. How do the seeds travel? These seeds wait for an animal to walk by. Then they stick into its fur (毛) to get a free ride (旅途). Sometimes it’s a long trip. Birds carry some plant seeds to new places, too. Seeds can’t walk. They can’t run. But they can travel with the help of wind, water and animals. 1.What will happen if plants are crowded? A．Some of them can live better. B．Some of them can grow taller. C．Some of them will die. D．Some of them will be stronger. 2.How many ways do the seeds travel in total (总共)? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 3.What can help the seeds to travel according to the passage? A．Leaves and flowers.

We love how cute they are. They are smarter than we think. Heal their own wounds Animals can heal (治愈) their wounds (伤口) by themselves. In Sumatra, Indonisia, there was a male orangutan (红毛猩猩) named Rakus. He got hurt in a fight with another male orangutan and there was a wound on his face. Three days later, scientists saw Rakus picking leaves from a vine (藤). These leaves could help with pain (疼痛) and heal wounds. Rakus chewed (咀嚼) the leaves and put the juice on his wound. This was the first time scientists saw a wild animal using plants to heal itself. Talk to their friends Just like people, animals can talk to their friends too. For example, killer whales (虎鲸) have their own languages. They can make sounds to communicate, such as whistles (哨声) and pulsed (脉冲的) calls. When their friends are nearby, they may use whistles to say hello. Pulsed calls are short, repeated sounds. They might help group members recognize (辨别) each other and work together. A baby killer whale can learn similar pulsed calls from its mother. They also hit their heads or snap their mouths to show they are angry. Use tools People often use tools in their daily lives. But in the animal world, only a few animals can use tools to get their food, and the sea otter (海獭) is one of them. Sea otters like to eat abalone (鲍鱼) and sea urchins (海胆). Both are easy to break open. However, in many areas, these foods are becoming less. Sea otters have to eat more crabs and mussels (贻贝). All these have hard shells (壳). To open these shells without hurting their teeth, sea otters can use tools like shells and rocks. Remember their food spots In nature, it is an important skill for animals to hide (藏) food and find it again. Mountain chickadees (山雀) are good at this. These birds can hide lots of seeds in different places like tree bark (树皮). When winter comes, they can easily find their hidden food again. According to scientists, chickadees can remember tens of thousands of spots (地点) where they hide food during the winter. The skill can help chickadees to stay alive during the cold winter months. 1.What kind of animals can talk with each other to change the information? A．Male orangutan. B．Killer whales. C．Sea otter. D．Mountain chickadees. 2.What did Rakus use to heal his wound? A．Wine. B．Leaves. C．Rocks. D．Shells. 3.How can killer whales talk to their friends? A．By helping group members recognize (辨别) each other. B．By learning similar pulsed calls from its mother. C．By making sounds such as whistles and pulsed calls. D．Killer whales also hit their heads or snap their mouths to show they are angry. 4.Why do mountain chickadees hide lots of seeds in different places? A．Because they can easily find their hidden seeds again in winter. B．Because these seeds could help with pain (疼痛) and heal wounds. C．Because they might help group members recognize (辨别) each other and work together. D．Because this skill can help chickadees to stay alive during the cold winter months. 5.What do sea otters use shells and rocks to do? A．To open these shells of crabs and mussels without hurting their teeth. B．It is an important skill for animals to use shells and rocks. C．To talk to their friends. D．Use tools to get their food, such as abalone (鲍鱼) and sea urchins (海胆). 6.Where can we read this passage? A．In a travel guide. B．In a magazine. C．In a cook book. D．In an ad. 【答案】1.B 2.B 3.C 4.D 5.A 6.B 【导语】本文以几种动物为例介绍了它们的智慧。包括治愈自己的伤口、与朋友交流和使用工具获得食物等。 1.细节理解题。根据“killer whales (虎鲸) have their own languages.

Two little mummichogs (花鳉) became the first fish in space. They lived in a plastic bag aboard Skylab. Three weeks later, they learned how to swim in zero gravity (零重力). 51 years later, four zebrafish are now swimming aboard China’s Tiangong Space Station. This is for a space experiment to see how very little gravity changes how fish live and grow. We know people feel weightless in space. But very little gravity can cause more changes. It affects almost all our body activities. If we’re going to live more in space in the future, we need to understand these changes. People are hard to study though. So, scientists study fish instead. Zebrafish have helped us learn about living things. They may seem different, but have many similar body parts with us. “Their bodies often work like ours,” explains Aaron van Loon, a biologist at the University of Washington. Zebrafish are also small and easy to take care of. And, they’re clear before they are born. Scientists can look inside them while they’re growing. Zebrafish have been in many medical studies. In space too, they’re studied since the 1970s. In 2015, zebrafish on the International Space Station helped learn how muscles get weak in very little gravity. Like astronauts, fish are carefully picked for space trips. They always have a job to do. Our little friends in water are helping us learn to travel in space safely. 1.Why was 28th July, 1973 a big day for fish? A．Because mummichogs were first used in an experiment. B．Because two mummichogs became the first fish in space. C．Because fish farming became successful in space since then. D．Because two mummichogs were successfully hatched that day. 2.What does the zebrafish study on China’s Tiangong Space Station want to find out? A．How zebrafish get used to space life. B．If zebrafish live without gravity. C．How little gravity changes the way fish grow and live. D．If zebrafish live the same in space as on the Earth. 3.What does the passage tell us?

Fern: Where’s Dad going with the ax? Mum: To the hog house (猪舍). Some pigs were born (出生) last night. Fern: But I don’t know why he needs an ax. Mum: One of the pigs is very small and weak (虚弱), and it will never grow into a big and strong one. So your dad plans to kill (杀死) it with the ax. Fern: Kill it? (Fern runs to the hog house very quickly. On her way, she can smell the spring.) Fern: Please don’t kill it, Dad. Please… Dad: I know how to raise (饲养) pigs. Now go home.

In fact, there are about 20,000 kinds of bees around the world. Let’s learn more about the hardworking bees who make honey—the honeybees! Honeybees are black and yellow. They have six legs and wings that help them fly. They live in big houses called hives. There they make honey by collecting food from flowers. In the hive, there’s a special bee called the queen. She lays eggs (产卵) to make baby bees. Worker bees are girls who do all the hard work. They build the hive, protect it, and fly far away to find food. Boys called drones (雄蜂) don’t have jobs in the hive, but they help make new bees with the queen. Here are some interesting facts about honeybees: Honeybees can fly up to 9 km. If a honeybee stings (叮) someone, it will lose its life. Honeybees use the sun as a compass to find their way. They dance to give information to other honeybees Honeybees are super helpers for our world! They visit lowers and carry pollen (花粉) from one to another. That helps plants make fruits and vegetables. Without honeybees, we wouldn’t have many of the foods we love to eat. So, next time you see a honeybee, don’t hurt it. 1.How many kinds of honeybees are talked about in the passage? A．One. B．Two.
