‎2019高考英语二轮阅读理解归类练习—美丽世界（详解）‎ A ‎(2012·新课标全国卷)Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar，it is also delicious.Most people，and many animals，like eating it.However，the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it.Often，these nests are high up in trees，and it is difficult to find them.In parts of Africa，though，people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper—a little bird called a honey guide.‎ The honey guide does not actually like honey，but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房)．The little bird cannot reach this wax，which is deep inside the bees' nest.So，when it finds a suitable nest，it looks for someone to help it.The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people.Once it has their attention，it flies through the forest，waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest.When they finally arrive at the nest，the_follower reaches in to get the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches.Some of the honey，and the wax，always falls to the ground，and this is when the honey guide takes its share.‎ Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax，but it is very determined in its efforts to get it.The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away.They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives，and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.‎ ‎【语篇解读】 非洲森林中甜美旳蜂蜜让人类和动物垂涎欲滴，可寻找隐藏在高树上旳蜂巢却并非易事.幸运旳是，一种对蜂蜡情有独钟旳奇怪旳小鸟可以主动提供帮助，顺便分一杯羹.‎ ‎1．Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?‎ A．It's small in size.
