2 2012·全国卷Ⅰ·A . . . Honey(蜂蜜)from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest(巢)and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper—a little bird called a honey guide. . . . 56. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees’ nest? A. It’s small in size. B. It’s hidden in trees. C. It’s covered with wax. D. It’s hard to recognize. 【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据文中的“Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. ”可知, 因为蜂巢隐藏在很高的树上, 所以很难找到。故选B。 【考点3】词义猜测题 1. 词义猜测题的常见形式： (1)直接对某个陌生的词汇进行理解； (2)对文中的某个代词确认指代的对象； (3)对多义词或短语进行文中含义的精确定义； (4)对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语等进行直接的或解释性的描述。 2. 词义猜测题是从特定的角度考查考生的阅读理解和处理生词的能力, 它包括对词、词组和句意的理解。词义猜测不仅是一项阅读技巧, 也是高考阅读能力考查的一个方面。 【典例】 （2012·全国卷Ⅰ·A）. . . The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax (蜂蜡) in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share. . . . 57. What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. A bee. B. A bird. C. A honey seeker. D. A beekeeper. 【解析】选C。词义猜测题。根据上下文可知, 此处指寻找蜂蜜的动物或人。a honey
