Bees are flying insects that are found all over the world. There are over twelve thousand different species of bees, but only about two thousand of these occur in North America.
Bees can be divided into two groups according to their living styles. Solitary (独居的) bees live alone. On the other hand, social bees, like ants, live in groups. Only about six hundred species are of this social category.
Social bees are interesting because in their "society" there are different classes of bees. Each class performs a different task. Queen bees lay eggs. Workers, underdeveloped females, work in the hives but never reproduce. Males do not work: their only task is to mate with the queen. Solitary bees occur as males and females. Every female makes nests in the ground where she will lay her eggs. The nest consists of many cells. After an egg is laid and put in a cell, the female also adds some pollen and honey for food. Then she seals the cell. The female then goes elsewhere to build a new nest or die. When eggs hatch, the larvae(幼虫) will feed on the pollen and honey which the female left for them.
11、 Which one of the following is the best title for the passage? ______
A. An Interesting Insect B. North American Bees
C. Social Bees D. Solitary Bees

C. ants are social insects
D. male bees are the main workforce in their society

A. only lay eggs B. are solitary bees
C. are the main workforce D. build nests in the ground
15、 After the cells are sealed, the larvae will feed on ______.

Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classroom.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1,500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to "speak" with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. They can work with them at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees—anywhere at all.
Because of many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.
At Westlake College, more than 90 percent of the staff uses computers. The laptops will allow teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, "Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window, through which they can see everything."
16、 What is the main purpose of the laptop program? ______
A. To give each student a laptop for their schoolwork.
B. To give each student access to the Internet.
C. To give each student a laptop for their housework.

Severe winter storms have worsened the nation's usual post-holiday blood shortage, prompting an urgent call today for people to donate blood. Type O blood is the most urgently needed, because it is the universal blood type, meaning it can be safely transfused to most people in an emergency.
The Red Cross reported having less than one day's supply of Type O blood on hand in 18 of the organization's 38 collection regions. The Red Cross provides about half of the nation's blood supply. America's Blood Center, which supplies most of the rest, also has reported shortages.
Reacting to the shortage, a Pittsburgh blood bank asked 40 hospitals in western Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio to postpone elective operations through Wednesday. At least 1,000 donors are needed each day for the next several days to stabilize (稳定) the supply, said Mark Lynch, spokesman for the Central Blood Bank. "We are talking about postponing orthopedic cases (矫形外科手术病例). These are sick people who need an operation, but it's not life-threatening," he said. When its blood supply is stable, the blood bank needs about 700 donors each day to maintain normal inventory(库存). The Pittsburgh Blood Bank last asked hospitals to postpone elective operations because of a blood shortage in October 2017. Such procedures were canceled for almost a week.
Nationwide, donations typically fall off during the holidays, when donors become too busy to give blood regularly. Bad weather increases shortages both by blocking blood drives and by causing increased blood demand to treat accident victims.
21、 The organization which supplies most of the blood need of the American is ______.
A. the Blood Center B. the Red Cross
C. the Pittsburgh Blood Bank D. the Central Blood Bank
22、 Bad weather created the blood shortage because ______.

B. it made blood donors too busy to give blood
C. it postponed elective surgeries in hospitals

A. He is the spokesman for the Central Blood Bank.
B. He asked 40 hospitals to postpone small surgeries.
C. He canceled several operations for almost a week.
D. He canceled blood drives because of severe storms.
24、 In Paragraph 3, "elective operations" refer to ______.
A. those that should be conducted promptly
B. those that should be done by other doctors
C. those that could be conducted later
D. those that must be done in big hospitals
25、 According to the passage, Type O blood is the most urgently needed blood because ______.
A. it can be used by all of the people
B. it is the universal blood type
C. many people were injured

七、简答题
(每小题2分,共10分)
认真阅读短文,用英语简要回答所提出的问题,每题答案不得超过三个英文单词。
Who talks more, women or men? The seemingly contradictory evidence is reconciled (调和) by the difference what I call public and private speaking. More men feel comfortable doing "public speaking", while more women feel comfortable doing "private" speaking. Another way of capturing these differences is by using the terms report-talk and rapport-talk (闲谈).
For most women, the language of conversation is primarily a language of rapport: a way of establishing connections and negotiating relationships. Emphasis is placed on displaying similarities and matching experiences. From childhood, girls criticize peers who try to stand out or appear better than others. People feel their closest connections at home, or in settings where they feel at home during private speaking. But even the most public situations can be approached like private speaking.
For most men, the talk is primarily a means to preserve independence and negotiate and maintain status in a hierarchical(等级制的) social order. This is done by exhibiting knowledge and skill, and by holding center stage through storytelling, joking, or sharing information. From childhood, men learn to use talking as a way to get and keep attention. So they are more comfortable speaking in larger groups made up most of people they know less well, in the broadest sense, "public speaking". But even the most private situations can be approached like public speaking, more like giving a report than establishing rapport.
60、 According to the author, who feels comfortable doing "private speaking"?
____________.
61、 What is the other term for "public speaking"?
____________.
62、 What role does the language of conversation play for women?
____________.

____________.
