第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分） Both honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They survive by means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they work together. As Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist of Stanford University, says, “Ants aren’t smart. Ant colonies are.” The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants have similar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity of learning.
Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of colony know how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send message to each other by means of a “dance”. Different speeds and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new hoe for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance the better the new location is.
Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of “sameness” and “difference” to accomplish certain tasks. Ants take this one step further. Recent America research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their foraging skills to other younger ants. They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food and teach them the route and how to avoid obstacles.
As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate complex actions and accomplish crucial survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as they may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday activities.
1、What do ants and bees have in common?
A．They make use of collective intelligence.
B．They live in similar-sized colonies.
C．They have small leadership groups that make all decisions.
D．They use the same method to communicate with each other.
2、What docs the speed of a bee’s dance indicate?
A．The distance to a neighboring colony.
B．The quality of a new colony location.
C．The discovery of a new food source.
D．The direction to a potential food source.
3、In paragraph 3, how docs the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning?
A．By using statistics. B．By explaining reason.
C．By presenting study findings. D．By stating opinions.
4、What does the underlined part “foraging skills” refer to in the third Paragraph?
A．The skills of communicating. B．The skills of sacking food.
C．The skills of leaning. D．The skills of finding a new home.

23．（8分）After nearly half a century behind the wheel, Hisao Matsumoto, 85, is not ready to stop driving. “I’m not that old yet,” he says. “I still have 15 more years to go till I reach 100.” Mr. Matsumoto is one of more than 5 million drivers aged 75 or older. A million more will be on the roads by 2021. Worried, the police are trying to persuade many of them out of driving, because over-75s are twice as likely to cause a fatal accident as younger drivers, according to the National Police Agency (NPA).
Nearly half of older drivers who caused fatal accidents had signs of cognitive impairment (认知障碍). Hundreds of older drivers turn the wrong way into motor ways every year. In January an 85-year-old man steered his vehicle into oncoming traffic on a country road, hitting a car and two schoolgirls. Police believe he mistook the accelerator for the brake. The man’s family said he had rejected their requests to hand over his keys many times.
Such stubbornness is common, notes Kazunori Iwakoshi, who heads an NGO that supports elderly drivers. Many drivers argue that they have never had an accident and it is unfair to do that, so they resent themselves being cast aside.
Since last March over-75s renewing their licenses must take cognitive tests to screen for dementia (老年痴呆). The NPA expects these changes to take 15,000 drivers off the road each year. Last year more than 250,000 over-75s gave up their licenses after their families’ constant stream of persuasion, says Mr. Iwakoshi. His organization publishes a check list for elderly drivers, aimed at getting them to assess their responses themselves.
Mr. Matsumoto is lucky. His city gives pensioners unlimited access to public transport. However, thousands of elderly people are stuck in rural communities with no buses.
1、Why do the police try to persuade elderly drivers to stop driving?
A．To encourage younger drivers to drive safely.
B．To reduce the number of deadly accidents.
C．To introduce the National Police Agency.
D．To stress the significance of safe driving.
2、Which word is closest in meaning to the underlined word “resent” in paragraph 3?
A．resemble B．support
C．injure D．dislike
3、What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A．Tests to assess elderly drivers’ responses.
B．Families’ contributions to traffic safety.
C．Ways to renew licenses for elderly drivers.
D．Measures to control the number of elderly drivers.
4、What is implied about the restriction to elderly drivers in the last paragraph?
A．It can cause some new problems.
B．It is popular among elderly drivers.
C．It will do elderly drivers more harm than good.
D．It brings about easy access to public transport.
