14、eals often camp out in front of stores overnight so that theyll be the first in line when the doors open.But why Black Friday? Historians believe the name started in Philadelphia in the mid-1960s.

16、retailers finally begin to turn a profit for the year. In accounting terms (会计行业), operating at a loss is called being “in the red” because accountants traditionally used red ink to show negative amounts. Positive amounts were usually shown in black ink. Thus, being “in the black” is a good thing be

42、and strict.CIndependent and modest. DBrave and serious.25（10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 dec

43、isions for the group. Instead, they work together. As Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University, says, Ants arent 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 social behavior.

44、 Specifically, honeybees and ants have similar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity for 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

45、 source, they let the rest of the 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 messages to each other by

46、 means of a dance. Different speeds and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new home 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 sco

47、uts 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

48、and difference to accomplish certain tasks. Ants take this one step further. Recent American 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

49、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 t

50、hey often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday activities.1、What do ants and bees have in common?AThey live in similar-sized colonies.BThey make use of collective intelligence.CThey have small leadership groups that make all decisions.DThey use the same methods to communicate with

51、 each other.2、What does the speed of a bees dance indicate?AThe quality of a new colony location.BThe distance to a neighboring colony.CThe discovery of a new food source.DThe direction to a potential food source.3、In paragraph 3, how does the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees and ants are

52、both capable of learning ?ABy using statistics.BBy explaining reasons.CBy referencing opinions.DBy presenting study findings.4、What is the benefit of collective intelligence?AIt allows the colony to reproduce more rapidly.BIt improves work cooperation within the colony.CIt reduces the division of la
