BHoney. CScents. DNutrients.答案A细节理解题。根据第一段的内容可知，蜜蜂从鲜花中采取花蜜，因此也给它们授了粉，故A项是最佳答案。18Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AThe look of a flower matters as much as its scents to a honeybee.BThe honeybee will visit a plant if its flower smells good.CThe honeybee will avoid a plant whose nectar is salty.DPlants dont need to make much effort to make nectar.答案C细节理解题。根据第四段中所讲述的实验可知，蜜蜂不喜欢咸味，所以它们是不会光顾带有咸味花蜜的植物的。故选C。根据第六、第七段可知，花的外貌不如它的香味重要；根据第二、第三段可知，有时花虽然闻起来很好，但它是假的，这时蜜蜂会识破真相；根据第二段可知植物造成花蜜需要维持生命所必需的能量和丰富的营养。由此可排除其余三项。19From the passage，we can conclude that _.Athe visit of honeybees is not crucial for a flowering plantBthe honeybees “sweet tooth”is likely to affect the floral signalsChoneybees can judge the quality of nectar by its smellsDsome plants succeed in avoiding“payment”to honeybees for their “service”答案C推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“The study suggests that a bees ability to learn which smells produce the best nectar may be the key to understanding how the smell of flowers has evolved in flowering plants.”可以推断出，蜜蜂是通过气味来判断花蜜的质量的。20The underlined phrase“visual aspect”most probably means “_”Alook Blistening Csmell Dscent答案A词义猜测题。根据上一段“To honeybees，the smell signal is even more crucial than the look of a flower.”可以推断出答案。.阅读表达(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的字数要求)Psychology(心理学)tells us that many people hate to take risks._But_it_is_good_for_us_to_take_risks,_especially_when_the_risk_is_to_achieve_a_desired_result.In that way, we become stronger and braver.Our human nature should be to take risks, but some people just sit and wish they didnt have the fear to move on.
