　　Ants have an amazing ability to communicate with each other and work together to accomplish(完成)difficult tasks.Their specialized behavior due to chemical communication is so well developed, in fact, that humans can learn a lot from them about how to work best in teams.

　　British scientists at the University of Bristol are studying colonies(群體)of army ants to understand how they organize themselves and share knowledge.These insects—which come in various sizes—are known for using their bodies as living plugs to cover holes on the uneven ground between their nest and their prey.When they meet a hole in their path, they can quickly determine which of them is the best fit.The appropriate ant then lies across the gap, allowing the remainder of the group—as many as 200,000 other ants—to step on its back.This important minority of ants makes the food collection of the entire colony in the best possible way by “paving the way” for the others.

　　The collective behavior that emerges from a group of social insects, such as ants, can be called “swarm intelligence”. Swarm intelligence consists of the self-organization of many individuals that work collectively to find the best solution to a difficult problem.The concepts of swarm intelligence have been used in a variety of human applications.It has been used as a method that improves the efficiency of goods transfers on airplanes, and has even become a routing technique for moving data across telecommunications networks more smoothly.You could say that our daily lives benefit from the tireless work of ants.

　　20．What can we learn from ants according to the text?

　　A．How to help others to achieve great goals.

　　B．Good communication skills are important.

　　C．How to achieve the best result by working as a team.

　　D．The hardworking spirit in teamwork.

　　21．A study made by British scientists suggests that________.

　　A．ants are a group of clever insects

　　B．army ants' behavior is difficult to understand

　　C．ants enjoy using their bodies as living plugs

　　D．ants' collective behavior ensures their food supply

　　22．What can we learn about “swarm intelligence”？

　　A．It is a kind of collective behavior in social insects.

　　B．It refers to the self-organization of many insects.

　　C．The concepts of it will be used by many animals.

　　D．It is the best method of processing data.

　　23．The study of ants' behavior can be applied in ________.

　　A．road transportation and education

　　B．aerial transport and telecommunications

　　C．team organization and engineering

　　D．computer and information technology

　　答案

　　課時作業(十三)

　　Ⅰ.1.A　考查非謂語動詞。sb be permitted to do sth為固定用法，意為“某人被允許做某事”；carry的邏輯主語就是句子的主語passengers，所以應用主動形式，故選A。

　　2．C　考查交際用語。答語意思是：我們去機場的時間到了。由此可以看出，答話人是在催促對方快點。故選C，hurry up 意為“趕快，抓緊”。go ahead “去做吧，用吧”；take it easy “別緊張”；that’s fine “那太好了”；均不符合語境。

　　3．C　句意：“您介意我把你的照片放到網上嗎？”“你最好不要。”

　　4．A　考查動詞短語辨析。take a chance “冒險”；take away “拿走”；take on “呈現，雇用”；take off “起飛；脫下”。由題意可知A項正確。

　　5．D　考查時態。語境為：當天氣變冷的時候，我沒有多穿衣服。描述的是過去的動作，所以應該用一般過去時。受上一句時間狀語從句的干擾，會誤選A。

　　6．C　考查介詞短語。句意為：人生的成功不是偶然而至的，它是將時間與精力投入到你決心要做的事情之后的結果。四個介詞短語的主要含義：by force “用武力”；by design “故意地”；by accident “偶然地”；by choice “出于自己的選擇”。從語意判斷選C。

　　7．A　考查名詞辨析。fault含有“責任，過失(responsible for mistakes)”之意。 be one's fault意為“是某人的錯”。答句句意為：這是我的錯，我弄掉的。故選A。

　　8．C　考查副詞。副詞though常用于句末，意為“但是，然而”。另外，(and)yet也可表示“但是”，但要置于從句的前面。用indeed(的確)和anyway(無論如何)意思不通。答句句意為：我感冒了，但不嚴重。

　　9．B　考查介詞短語辨析。句意為：與其他的物種一樣，人類人口是由自然選擇，如饑荒、疾病或氣候形成的。as for “關于”；in addition to “另外”；compared with “與……相比”。as with 表示“與……一樣”符合題意，故選B。

　　10．C　句意為：對于那些總是抱怨他們的不幸的人我沒有耐心。devotion “熱愛”；belief “信任”；patience “耐心，忍耐”；balance “平衡，天平”。

　　11．A　考查動詞。spot 意為“發現”，其后跟stealing作補語。關鍵詞at this time yesterday 暗示要用現在分詞。

　　12．B　答語句意為：“那就是電腦公司登廣告的地方。”That's where…表示“那是……的地方”。

　　13．D　考查時間狀語從句和定語從句。“it is/has been＋一段時間＋since從句”為固定句型，表示自從上次干某事到現在有多長時間了；scene作先行詞，且定語從句中需要的是地點狀語，故用where或in which引導定語從句。

　　14．B　考查表語從句中連詞的用法。句意：我母親第一次嘗試就通過了駕駛考試。這是因為她一直在努力訓練。because引導表語從句表示因果關系，符合句意。

　　15．C　考查whatever作定語，修飾名詞help。句意：當地震發生時，我們應該提供一切可能的幫助給那些受害者。

　　Ⅱ.A

　　這是一篇應用文，文章向我們介紹了幾本書的基本信息。

　　16．D　細節理解題。根據四本書的出版時間和頁數可知，最后一本書 Fall of Giants小說最長(1008頁)且出版時間最新(2010年9月)。

　　17．A　細節理解題。從對Solar 一書的介紹“Literary master Ian McEwan returns with Solar, a novel about a Nobel Prize-winning physicist. ”可知獲得諾貝爾獎的是小說的主人公而不是作者(Ian McEwan)本人，所以A項錯誤。

　　18．C　細節理解題。根據四本書的出版時間可知，一本是在3月出版的，一本是在6月出版的，還有兩本是在9月出版的，也就是說C項正確。

　　19．B　邏輯推理題。從第一則信息Room中的“… finally delight you.” 可知，該書有一個愉快的結尾。注意delight和happy之間的同義替代。

　　B

　　英國某大學的研究人員對行軍蟻的研究表明，行軍蟻在覓食中的群策群力，分工不分級的集體協作行為，充分體現了團隊精神。這一行為模式所衍生出的“群體智能”概念對當今各個領域產生了深遠的影響。

　　20．C　從第一段中的…that humans can learn a lot from them about how to work best in teams.可知。

　　21．D　第二段主要敘述了英國科學家對行軍蟻的研究，即它們是如何組織團隊和分享信息的。這一研究揭示了這類昆蟲在覓食中的集體協作行為(即群體智慧)確保了整個群體食物的供應。

　　22．A　從第三段第一句可知。

　　23．B　從最后一段倒數第二句可知B正確。
