The sun was beginning to sink as I set off into the Harenna Forest. I was on my way to 　1　 a unique honey harvest. Here, in south-east Ethiopia, hand-carved beehives(蜂箱) are placed in the 　2　. Reaching them to get the honey is difficult — and often 　3　.
I 　4　 beekeeper Ziyad over a wide stretch of grassland before entering a thick jungle. Ziyad began preparations.

It was too 　12　 to collect the honey. A cool summer had delayed 　13　. Baby bees were still in the honeycombs(蜂巢). The adult bees were 　14　 and kept attacking as Ziyad escaped from the tree. He had to wait for the right 　15　 to go back up.

Many years ago, I bought a house in the Garfagnana, where we still go every summer.The first time we 　1　 there, we heard the chug-chug-chug of a motorbike 　2　 its way down the hill toward us. It was a __3__ called Mario, coming to 　4　 us a box containing some tomatoes and a bottle of wine. It was a very nice　5　 for him to make. But when we looked at the tomatoes, we were __6__ because they were so misshapen: not at all like the nice, round, __7__ things you get in a supermarket. And the wine was cloudy, in a funny old bottle with no label(标签) on it. These can’t be any __8__, we thought. But we were 　9　 his kindness, so we __10__ them.
What we discovered is that it’s 　11　 to judge what you eat only by its 　12　. Those tomatoes had a 　13　 that reminded me of the ones my uncle used to grow when I was a child. Nowadays supermarket tomatoes 　14　 perfect but taste of water. Nobody’s going to have a 　15　 memory of those. It’s a surprise they haven’t managed to grow square ones so that they can 　16　 them easily. Mario’s wine may have been cloudy and come out of an old bottle, but it was 　17　.
It’s good to eat things at the correct time, when they’re __18__, and as close as possible to where they were 　19　 . What Mario had 　20　 us was the taste of the Garfagnana.

Simply saying thank you doesn’t seem enough in certain situations. I was considering this while working as a 　1　 just a few weeks ago. And it came to me then how much easier it would be if we had a range of words that express different 　2　 of gratitude(感谢).

8.C　根据上题解析可知，Ziyad是绑着绳子沿着树干向上爬的，因此他每隔几分钟停下来，把绳子移到树干更高的地方以方便继续往上爬，故选C。
9.A　由空后的"Ziyad got close to the hive"可知，最终，Ziyad到达了树顶，故选A。naturally"自然地"； immediately"立即，马上"。
10.D　由上文可知，收获蜂蜜是一个艰难且危险的工作，而且是在离地面约20米的树顶上作业，因此 Ziyad应该是小心翼翼地朝着蜂箱缓慢移动，故选D。inch"(使朝某方向)谨慎移动"。
11.C　由空后的"was back on the ground"可知，Ziyad从树上回到地面上了，故选C。cut off"切掉"；go up "向上"；slide down"滑下来"；hold onto"握住"。
12.B　由下文的"A cool summer... still in the honeycombs (蜂巢)"可知，幼蜂还在蜂巢里，没有出去采蜜，因此那时还不是收获蜂蜜的时候，故选B。
13.A　结合空前、空后内容可知,现在收获蜂蜜太早了，幼蜂还没长到足够大出去采蜜，因此可推测是气候原因延迟了蜜蜂的孵化，故选A。hatch"孵化"；train"训练"；sow"播种"；trade"做买卖"。
14.D　由上文的"Suddenly, Ziyad let out a sharp cry"及语境可知，Ziyad把火把的烟吹到蜂箱里的小洞中这个行为惹恼了成年的蜜蜂，因此成年蜜蜂一直在攻击他，故选D。curious"好奇的"。
15.A　根据第13题的解析可知，现在不是收获蜂蜜的时机，还需等待一个合适的时候，故选A。equipment"设备"；order"订单，命令"。
3.【解析】 本文主要讲述了作者很多年前在意大利的加尔法尼亚纳(Garfagnana)买了一套房子，第一次去那里住的时候，邻居Mario骑着摩托车给作者送来了一些西红柿和一瓶葡萄酒。西红柿和葡萄酒都其貌不扬,但邻居的好意让作者决定试一试。没想到，西红柿让作者想起了儿时吃的西红柿的味道，葡萄酒也完美。这让作者不禁感叹：不能以貌取"物"。而通过Mario的礼物，作者也感受到了加尔法尼亚纳的味道。
1.D　根据上文中的"I bought a house in the Garfagnana, where we still go every summer"可以看出，此处讲的是作者第一次居住(stayed)期间的故事。camp"宿营，露营"。
2.A　根据上文中的"we heard the chug-chug-chug of a motorbike"和下文中的"down the hill toward us"可知，摩托车是向作者家行进(making its way)的。make one’s way"前进，行进"；search one’s way"探路"； squeeze one’s way"挤过去"；feel one’s way"摸索前进"。
3.B　根据上文中的"The first time we　1　there"和下文中的"some tomatoes and a bottle of wine"可以推测，Mario应该是作者的邻居(neighbor)。
4.C　根据上一空可知，Mario是作者的邻居，他在作者第一次到来的时候，给作者带来(bring)一些西红柿和一瓶葡萄酒以示欢迎。
5.D　根据上文可知，Mario在作者第一次到来的时候，给作者送礼物。结合常识可知，这是一种善意的表示(gesture)，故选D项。choice"选择，挑选，抉择"；comment"议论，评论，解释"；gesture"(表明感情或意图的)姿态，表示"。
6.A　根据下文中的"because they were so misshapen"可以推测，Mario送来了一些奇形怪状的西红柿，这让作者很担忧(worried)。thrilled"非常兴奋，极为激动"；bored"厌烦的"。
7.C　根据下文中的"you get in a supermarket"可知，空处讲的是超市里的西红柿的情况。结合生活常识可知，超市里的西红柿看起来漂亮、圆圆的而又有光泽(shiny)。shiny"光亮的，锃亮的，反光的，有光泽的"。
8.B　根据上文中对西红柿的描述及"the wine was cloudy, in a funny old bottle with no label(标签) on it"可知，由于西红柿外观不好,酒很浑浊，且酒瓶老旧，没有标签，作者觉得这瓶葡萄酒的质量也好(good)不到哪里去。
9.B　根据上文可知，作者第一次来，Mario就给作者送礼物。因此，哪怕礼物看起来不怎么好，作者对Mario的善良还是很感激的(thankful for)。be sympathetic to"对……表示同情"；be thankful for"对……表示感激"；be cautious about"对……谨慎"；be interested in"对……感兴趣"。
10.A　根据下文中的"Those tomatoes had a 　13　 that reminded me of the ones my uncle used to grow when I was a child"和"it was　17　"可知，作者还是试着(tried)吃了西红柿，并试喝了葡萄酒。
11.C　根据下文中的"Those tomatoes had a 　13　 that reminded me of the ones my uncle used to grow when I was a child"可知，西红柿很好吃，因此只根据西红柿奇形怪状的外表就判断它不好，这是不明智的 (unwise)。uncertain"犹豫，不确定的"。
12.A　根据上文中的"we were 　6　 because they were so misshapen"可知，作者之前就根据西红柿的外表对其进行了评判，这里作者表示仅凭你吃的东西的外表作评判是不明智的。appearance"外表，外貌"； origin"起源，源头，起因"。
13.D　根据常识可知，应该是西红柿的味道(taste)让作者想起了小时候叔叔种的西红柿，且这一点也可以通过下文的"Nowadays supermarket tomatoes　14　perfect but taste of water"进行印证。
14.B　根据上文中的"the nice, round, 　7　 things you get in a supermarket"可知，超市里的西红柿看起来 (look)很完美。
15.A　根据上文提到的超市里的西红柿看起来很完美，但寡而无味和常识可知，这样的西红柿无法给人们留下美好的(happy)回忆。vivid"(记忆、描述等)生动的，逼真的，(光、颜色等)鲜艳的，鲜明的"； vague"不明确的，不清楚的，(形状)模糊的"。
16.D　上文对超市卖的西红柿进行了吐槽，本句依然是对这些西红柿的吐槽。根据"It’s a surprise they haven’t managed to grow square ones"可知，此处作者是在吐槽人们为什么不把西红柿种成方的，这样还好包装(pack)呢。
17.A　空前空后形成了转折。结合空前的"Mario’s wine may have been cloudy and come out of an old bottle"可知，Mario的酒可能是浑浊的，是从一个旧瓶子里倒出来的，但是他的酒完美(perfect)。convenient"方便的，便利的"；familiar"熟悉的，常见的，普通的"。
18.C　根据上文中的"It’s good to eat things at the correct time"和常识可知，当季的(in season)食物是可口的。on view"展览着"；on sale"出售，折价销售"；in season"当季的"；in need"贫困的，困难中的"。
19.D　根据上文可知，Mario送来的西红柿是当地的，结合上文中的"as close as possible"也可以判断，作者认为要吃离种植(grown)地尽可能近的食物。store"贮存，储藏"。
20.B　此处呼应上文中的"coming to　4　us a box containing some tomatoes and a bottle of wine"，故选B项。

5.B　前文说作者用绳子拴住15个月大的儿子的腰部,孩子因不舒服而哭叫，下文说 "I just kept a close eye on him"，由此可知，这里表示作者不再用绳子拴着他，因此选B，表示"而不是，代替"。

7.D　根据语境可知，此处指作者一家人出发时天气还是晴朗的，但暴风雨快速来临了。因此这里应用 head off表示"出发"。
8.B　根据语境及常识可知，这里指突如其来的暴风雨打断了作者一家平静的旅行，因此选B，表示"打断"。
9.A　前文说山中暴风雨来得很快，再结合空后的 "picked up and thunder rolled"可知，此处应选A，表示"风越来越大"。

11.A　结合前文的"Nothing"和下文中的"We were stuck in the middle of the lake"可知，作者的丈夫再次启动发动机，不幸的是还是发动不了，故选A。
12.D　前文说发动机发动不了，作者一家人被困在湖中，由此可推知，当时作者一家人无计可施，因此选D，表示"无助地"。
13.C　前文说作者一家人被困湖中，此时一个渔民把作者一家人拖到岸边，由此可推知，最终作者一家人安全了，因此选C。
14.D　下文说"wondering what camping fun and　15　 we will experience next"，由此可知，作者很喜欢这样的经历，因此选D，表示"兴奋"。
15.B　根据前文对两次野营经历的描述可知，此处应用名词adventure表示"冒险的刺激"。
