Bees have a fascinating life cycle. It starts with an egg. The
queen bee lays eggs in the honeycombs. After three days， the
eggs hatch into grubs. The grubs are small and white. They look
like little worms. Worker bees feed the grubs with royal jelly and
pollen(蜂王浆和花粉).
After about five days， the grubs spin cocoons(茧) around
themselves. They become pupae(蛹). During this stage， the
pupae experience great changes. Their bodies develop into adult
bees.
After about two weeks， the adult bees break out of the
cocoons. The new adult bees are small and weak at first. But
they soon grow stronger and start working.
The life cycle of a bee varies depending on the type of bee.
Queen bees have the longest life cycle. They can live for several
years. Drones live for about six weeks. Worker bees live for
about six weeks in summer and several months in winter.
Bees are very important to our ecosystem. They help
pollinate plants and produce honey. We should protect bees and
their habitats.

Scientists find that beavers(河狸) are good for nature. A
new study shows they help decrease floods and pollution. They
also help more fish and other animals live nearby.
Scientists watched wild beavers living on the River Otter for
five years. Beavers build dams(水坝) in rivers with sticks. They
dig holes in the sides of the river， and the doors of the holes are
under the water. This protects them from other animals.
The dams also slow down flooding. Water moves more
slowly after heavy rain， keeping farms and villages safe from
flooding. In some places， the slow water goes to nearby places， making new wet places. These become great homes for other wild animals.
Years and years ago， people hunted beavers for their fur.
There were no beavers in England after the 1600s. In 2008，
beavers suddenly appeared at River Otter. No one knew how
they got there. Six years later， someone wanted the beavers to
go away. But a kind group helped the beavers stay.
Now， the River Otter beavers grow strong， meaning
small creatures can make a big difference for nature.
(　B　)1. What does the underlined word “decrease” in
Paragraph 1 mean？
A. Dry up. B. Cut down.
C. Take in. D. Throw away.
【解析】词义猜测题。根据下文提及河狸们也帮助许多的鱼类

(　A　)2. Why are the doors of beavers’ holes underwater？
A. To keep them safe.
B. To keep them cool.
C. To make it easy to find food.
D. To let their babies play in water.
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，河狸把洞门
建在水下是为了保护自己免受其他动物的伤害，故选A。
A
(　D　)3. How does the speed of floodwater
change after beavers build dams？
A. B. C. D.
D
【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段“The dams also slow down
flooding. Water moves more slowly after heavy rain， keeping
farms and villages safe from flooding.”可知，河狸建了水坝
后，洪水的速度会变慢，对应图标应是速度呈逐渐下降的趋
势，故选D。
(　D　)4. What is the main idea of the passage？
A. How scientists do research on beavers.
B. Why there were no beavers in England before.
C. How to build nice dams with sticks like beavers.
D. How important beavers for nature and how they live.
【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了河狸对减少
洪水和污染、帮助其他动物生存等方面的作用，还介绍了河狸
的生活习性，如建水坝、挖洞穴等，故选D。
