　　Passage One

　　Do you know that bees can dance? (16) Well, neither did scientists, until the 1960s. That's when a German scientist, named Karl von Frisch, noticed something truly remarkable. As he was observing honeybees, he noticed that some of the bees, which he called scout bees, flew out of the hive to look for food. When a scout found a site where there was food, it flew back to the beehive and started dancing. This dance somehow told the other honeybees where the food was, because after the dance, some of the bees flew from the hive straight to the site of the food. Karl called the bees that collect the food forager bees. (17) He thought the scout bee's dance told the forager bees three things: first, the smell of the food it had found; second, which direction to fly to reach the food; and third, the distance of the food site from the beehive. Karl won the 1973 Nobel Prize for this discovery, but many scientists were skeptical of his theory. They didn't believe it was the dance that led the forager bees to food. Instead, they thought it might be, oh, the smell of the food on the dancing bee, or maybe that they just followed the scout back to the food site. (18) Well, very recently, some British scientists used a new type of radar to prove that Karl's theory was indeed correct. It is the dance that communicates this information to other bees.

　　16. What can be learned about the German scientist, Karl von Frisch?

　　17. According to Karl, what information do the scout bees tell forager bees?

　　18. What made people believe the correctness of Karl's theory?

　　参考答案：

　　【小题16】A

　　【小题17】A

　　【小题18】C

　　习题解析：

　　【小题16】此题是针对德国科学家 Karl von Frisch 的提问。短文开头即提到直到 20 世纪 60 年代才发现了蜜蜂的舞蹈，并且由 That's when a German scientist, named Karl von Frisch, noticed something truly remarkable.可知这是由德国科学家 Karl von Frisch 发现的。结合这两句话的内容，可知答案为选项 A。

　　【小题17】短文中提到 He thought the scout bee's dance told the forager bees three things: first, the smell of the food it had found...由此可知，蜂探通过舞蹈告诉觅食蜂三个信息，其中一条就是食物的味道，因此答案为选项 A。

　　【小题18】此题是问什么让人们相信了 Karl 的理论。短文最后提到...some British scientists used a new type of radar to prove that Karl's theory was indeed correct.由此可知，是英国科学家使用新型雷达进行研究，才证实了 Karl 理论的正确性，故正确答案为选项 C。
