Question

【題目】Here is an experiment (實(shí)驗(yàn)) to see how ants can organize some clever teamwork.

What’s going on?

You can see one of the best examples of insect teamwork by watching ants. If one ant finds food, it leads others there to eat it too. They follow each other by making long trails. The ants go back and forth collecting food, to take back to their nest (穴). When you move the fruit, the ants will still find it. But, instead of making a new direct route (路線) to the food, they will follow each other through their old trail route.

【1】What will happen if one ant finds food?

A. The ant will eat all the food. B. The ant will watch other ants.

C. The ant will lead others to the food. D. The ant will wait until others come.

【2】If the fruit is moved to a new position, the ants will ________.

A. rail to find it B. give up looking for it

C. make a new direct route to it D. get to it through the old trail route

【3】Which is the correct order to do this experiment?

a.Move the fruit to a new position.

b.Find an ant.

c.Check the fruit an hour later.

d.Put a thin slice of fruit in front of the ant.

A. a-b-c-d B. b-d-c-a C. d-b-c-a D. c-a-d-b

【4】What can we learn from this experiment?

A. The experiment is done successfully in the lab.

B. Ants do the experiment to show their team spirit.

C. Careful watching does little help in this experiment.

D. We can find out some facts by doing small experiments.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】B

【4】D

【解析】本題難度適中，主要通過小實(shí)驗(yàn)來說明螞蟻的團(tuán)隊(duì)合作的力量。

【1】根據(jù)If one ant finds food, it leads others there to eat it too可知，故選C。

【2】根據(jù)When you move the fruit, the ants will still find it. But, instead of making a new direct route (路線) to the food, they will follow each other through their old trail route可知，故選D。

【3】根據(jù)第一幅圖First you need some ants;第二幅圖When you have found an ant, put a thin slice of fruit in front of it;第三幅圖Check the fruit after an hour;第四幅圖When there are lots of ants, move the first to a new position。故選B。

【4】根據(jù)You can see one of the best examples of insect teamwork by watching ants可知，故選D。
