背景知識(shí)
Do Animals Communicate? When we think of communication, we normally think of using words-talking face-to-face, writing messages and so on. But in fact we communicate far more in other ways. Our eyes and facial expressions usually tell the truth even when our words do not. Then there are gestures, often unconscious: raising the eyebrows, rubbing the nose, shrugging the shoulders, tapping the fingers, nodding and shaking the head.
There is also the even more subtle "body-language" language “of posture: are you sitting-or standing-with arms or legs crossed? Is that person standing with hands in pockets, held in front of the body or hidden behind? Even the way we dress and the colures we wear communicate things to others. So, do animals communicate? Not in words, although a parrot might be trained to repeat words and phrases which it doesn’t understand. But, as we have learnt, there is more to communication than words.
Take dogs for example. They bare their teeth to warn, wag their tails to welcome and stand firm, with hair erect, to challenge. These signals are surely the equivalent of the human body language of facial expression, gesture and posture. Colour can be an important means of communication for animals. Many birds and fish change colour, for example, to attract partners during the mating season. And mating itself is commonly preceded by a special dance in which both partners participate.

【點(diǎn)撥】 本句是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句：The development… made it possible to design experiments …其中的 it是形式賓語(yǔ)，它所代替的真正賓語(yǔ)是后面的不定式短語(yǔ) to design experiments。it作形式賓語(yǔ)的句型是：

【點(diǎn)撥】 “through which he could observe what went on inside”是定語(yǔ)從句，來(lái)修飾先行詞，引導(dǎo)詞是介詞through加which構(gòu)成．
在定語(yǔ)從句用法中介詞+關(guān)系詞是一個(gè)重點(diǎn)，介詞后面的關(guān)系詞不能省略，但是介詞的后面不用that．
e.g.This is the house in which I lived two years ago.

【點(diǎn)撥】beyond一詞是高中英語(yǔ)的必備詞匯，其用法和含義較為復(fù)雜，很容易產(chǎn)生理解上的障礙，造成翻譯上的失誤。本文擬對(duì)beyond的一些用法淺析如下：
一、beyond作介詞用時(shí)，使用最廣，常用于下列幾種情況：
1.表示位置，意思是“在……的那一邊；在……之外；在更遠(yuǎn)處”。例如：
e.g. Beyond the river stood a power station．
過(guò)了這條河就是一個(gè)發(fā)電站。
2.表示時(shí)間，其意為“遲于；超過(guò)”。例如：
e.g. Some shops keep open beyond midnight庇行┥痰曖業(yè)到半夜以后。
3.表范圍、水平、限度、能力等，意思是“超出；多于；為……所不能及”在句中常作
①作表語(yǔ)
e.g. Your work is beyond all praise．
你的作品叫人贊揚(yáng)不盡。

這些事情他那時(shí)候還不了解。
③作狀語(yǔ)

4.用在否定和疑問(wèn)句中，意思是“除……之外”。
e.g. I know nothing beyond what he told me．

Is there anything more you can say beyond that？
除了那點(diǎn)之外，你還能說(shuō)些什么嗎？
5.beyond有時(shí)還可表示年齡或數(shù)量，意思是“超過(guò)”。
e.g. He didn't believe in people living beyond 100．
他不相信人能活到100歲以上。
二、beyond也常作副詞用，主要有下面兩種用法：
1.指時(shí)空或正在進(jìn)行中的活動(dòng)，意思是“在遠(yuǎn)處；向遠(yuǎn)處；更遠(yuǎn)處”。
e.g. If we cross the mountains we may find people living in the valley beyond．
如果我們翻過(guò)這些大山，我們就可以發(fā)現(xiàn)在遠(yuǎn)處山谷中生活的人們。

這種結(jié)構(gòu)用來(lái)表示兩從此過(guò)程按比例同時(shí)遞增。前一句為從句，后一句為主句。這種結(jié)構(gòu)常以省略形式出現(xiàn)，句式精煉簡(jiǎn)短，表意有力。例如：
e.g. The sooner, the better. 越快越好。
The more, the better. 越多越好。
The more, the merrier. 人越多，越好玩。

I was more than surprised to see the lion standing at the body.
看到那頭獅子站在尸體旁邊，我非常驚訝。
4. more than與動(dòng)詞連用，對(duì)動(dòng)詞起著加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣的作用。
e.g. Repeated advertising will more than increase product sales.
多次做廣告意味著增加產(chǎn)品的銷(xiāo)售。
His progress in English learning more than encouraged him to learn the subject well. 在英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)方面的進(jìn)步激勵(lì)他學(xué)好這門(mén)課程。
5. more than和含有情態(tài)動(dòng)詞的句子連用，有否定意義，表示“是……難以……”或“超過(guò)了……所能”之義。
e.g. The beauty of the mountainous country is more than I can describe.
我難以描述那個(gè)山村的美麗。
This problem is more than a child like Jack can settle.
這一問(wèn)題超出了像杰克這樣的小孩的解決能力。

e.g. All his education added up to no more than one year.
他接受的所有的學(xué)校教育只有一年。
Their new flat has no more than 60 square metres.

【點(diǎn)撥】while連詞,意為"盡管;雖然";其用法大致有以下四種用法:1.引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句,意為"當(dāng)……的時(shí)候;和……同時(shí)",此時(shí)的主從句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)作同時(shí)發(fā)生,從句謂語(yǔ)通常是延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞。
e.g. Mary watched TV while she ate her supper.
瑪麗邊吃飯邊看電視。While she was listening to the radio, she fell asleep.
她聽(tīng)著收音機(jī)睡著了。
while引導(dǎo)從句時(shí),如主從句的主語(yǔ)一致,且從句謂語(yǔ)又含有be,則從句主語(yǔ)和be可省略。while后可直接跟現(xiàn)在分詞、名詞、形容詞或介詞短語(yǔ)。
e.g. We are teachers while (we are) serving as students.
我們邊當(dāng)老師邊當(dāng)學(xué)生。While (he was) yet a youth, he gained many prizes.
他年輕時(shí)就曾多次獲獎(jiǎng)。He caught a cold while(he was) on vacation.
他度假時(shí)患了感冒。
2.表示對(duì)比或轉(zhuǎn)折,意為"而;然而"。此時(shí),while一般位于句中。
e.g. Some people waste food while others haven't enough.
有些人浪費(fèi)糧食,然而有些人卻吃不飽。You like sports, while I prefer music.
你喜歡體育,而我更喜歡音樂(lè)。
3.表示讓步,通常位于句首,意為"盡管;雖然"。
e.g. While I agree with your reasons, I can't allow it.
盡管我同意你的理由,但我不能允許這樣做。While he loves his students, he is very strict with them.
雖然他愛(ài)他的學(xué)生,可是他對(duì)學(xué)生們很?chē)?yán)格。While (he was) respected, he is not liked.
他雖受人尊敬,但并不被人喜歡。
4.表示條件,意為"只要",其意思和用法相當(dāng)于as long as。while可位于句首,也可位于句中。
e.g. You don't have to worry while we are here.
只要我們?cè)?你就別著急。
There will be life while there is water and air.
只要有空氣和水,就有生命。While there is life, there is hope.
留得生命在,不怕沒(méi)希望。
5.意為"同時(shí);也"。如:e.g. While the book is welcomed by scholars, it will make an immediate
appeal to the general readers.
這本書(shū)受到學(xué)者的歡迎,同時(shí)也會(huì)引起一般讀者的興趣。
6.意為"趁著"。
e.g. Make hay while the sun shines.
曬草要趁陽(yáng)光好。(諺)Strike while the iron is hot.
趁熱打鐵。(諺)While the roses are yet in bloom, will you come with me to see them?
趁著玫瑰花還開(kāi)著,你和我一道去看看好嗎?
Sometimes they warn each other of danger, and they also communicate simply to keep in touch.
于是它們互相提醒危險(xiǎn),它們交流僅僅是為了保持聯(lián)系.
【點(diǎn)撥】 warn sb. of sth．“警告某人某事”，不能說(shuō) warn sb's sth．。
e.g. We warned him of the dangerous bridge，but he didn't believe．
我們警告他那座橋危險(xiǎn)，但是他不相信。
類(lèi)似這樣的結(jié)構(gòu)用法的動(dòng)詞還有:
一. 表示“通知(inform)；警告(warn)；指責(zé)(accuse)；使想起(remind)”等意思的一些動(dòng)詞。 在這一結(jié)構(gòu)中，of的意思相當(dāng)于 about。
e.g. On the way home my father told me of an accident that took place on his first day at school in Mr. Crossett's class．
在回家的路上,父親給我講了他第一天上學(xué)時(shí)在克羅塞特先生課上的一件事。

二、表示“搶奪(rob)；剝奪；解除(cure, heal)；免除(rid)”等意思的動(dòng)詞。

他們剝奪了這位作家出版作品的權(quán)利。 She rushed up to relieve me of my suitcase．
她跑過(guò)來(lái)接過(guò)我手中的衣箱。 Our army disarmed the enemy of his weapon．
我軍繳械了敵人的武器。
類(lèi)似的動(dòng)詞還有：abridge（剝奪）， purge（洗清），disabuse（去掉），despoil（搶劫），divert（脫去），deprive（剝奪）等。 三、表示“騙取(fool)”、“詐騙(cheat)”等意思的一些動(dòng)詞。 在這一結(jié)構(gòu)里，通常在of前加上 out，out of表示“喪失”，但out可以省略不用。 e.g. How can you fool the little girl（out） of her money？
你怎么能詐騙那個(gè)小女孩的錢(qián)財(cái)呢？ The beggar cheated the little boy（out）of his candy．
那乞丐騙取了那個(gè)小男孩的糖。
【點(diǎn)撥】 simply的意思和用法
（1）simply是副詞，在對(duì)話中意為“really(真正)”、“very (much)（非常）”。
e.g. The film is simply wonderful. 這影片真是太美妙了。
She looks simply lovely. 她看起來(lái)的確可愛(ài)。
His pronunciation is simply terrible. 他的發(fā)音簡(jiǎn)直差透了。
They had simply no shame. 他們簡(jiǎn)直不知羞恥。
（2）simply亦可解釋為“樸素地”、“樸實(shí)地”、“無(wú)裝飾地”。
e.g. He is simply dressed. 他衣著樸素。
（3）simply還可作“僅僅，只不過(guò)”解，相當(dāng)于only。
e.g. It is simply a question of time. 這只不過(guò)是個(gè)時(shí)間問(wèn)題。
You must believe me simply on my word. 你必須完全照我的話相信我。
It is simply a matter of working hard. 此事只是努力去做的問(wèn)題。
（4）還可解釋為“簡(jiǎn)單地”、“簡(jiǎn)明地”。
e.g. The cake is made quite simply. 這糕做起來(lái)很簡(jiǎn)單。
The teacher explained the text quite simply. 老師簡(jiǎn)單地解釋了一下課文。
What may be of greater importance is to observe how primates live in the world.
比較重要的事情是觀察靈長(zhǎng)目動(dòng)物是怎樣生活的．
【點(diǎn)撥】這個(gè)句子涉及到 “of+抽象名詞”相當(dāng)于該名詞相應(yīng)的形容詞。不過(guò)，這種結(jié)構(gòu)常用于較正式的場(chǎng)合，書(shū)面語(yǔ)中尤為常見(jiàn)。再看下面幾個(gè)句子：
e.g. This book will be of great value to him in his students. (=Be very valuable)
The book is of much interest. (=Be very interesting)
常用于這一結(jié)構(gòu)的修飾語(yǔ)還有：great，little ,some ,any, no, not, much等
常見(jiàn)的抽象名詞有importance, value, use, help, benefit(利益、好處)，significance(意義、重要性)。最后需要提及的是，“be of + 名詞”結(jié)構(gòu)的否定形式一般采用否定名詞的做法：
“be of no + 名詞”。
e.g. He is of no colour, for he has been ill for two weeks.
他毫無(wú)血色，因?yàn)樗技矁芍芰恕?/p>
As far as the study of English was concerned, what he said was of no point.
就學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)而言，他所講的并未切中要害。
“be of +名詞”還可以表達(dá)以下幾種意義：
1、表示“具有，具備”
e.g. Her story is of some colours of the truth.
她的故事有點(diǎn)真實(shí)感
The party's 12th congress is of epoch making significance.
黨的十二大具有劃時(shí)代的意義。
2、表示“屬于”
e.g. The products are of first-rate quality.
這些產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量是屬于第一流的。
3、表示“包含”、“包括”、“類(lèi)別”等
e.g. The Americans are of almost all colures and races.
美國(guó)人幾乎包括各種各樣的膚色及種族。
His whole life was of best glory.她的一生是非常光榮的。
4. 這種結(jié)構(gòu)還可表示“年齡”.“出身”“等級(jí)”等
We are of the same age. 我們年齡相同。
He was of noble birth and high rank. 他出身于高貴門(mén)庭。
Grammar
情態(tài)動(dòng)詞表推測(cè)
一、對(duì)目前的行動(dòng)或狀況的推測(cè)（情態(tài)動(dòng)詞+do）
（1）、在肯定句中，表示很有把握的推測(cè)時(shí)用must，而不太有把握時(shí)則用may, might或could,三者依次could的語(yǔ)氣最弱。
e.g. You must be very tired. 你一定很累。
（= I am sure that you are very tired.） ( 很有把握)
You may / might / could be very tired. 你可能很累吧！
(=Perhaps / Maybe you are very tired.)（不太有把握）
（2）、在否定句中，can't 則表示“不可能”，語(yǔ)氣最強(qiáng)，而相應(yīng)地may not, might not 語(yǔ)氣弱些，表示“可能不”。
e.g. He can't be at home. 他不可能在家。（很有把握）
He may not / might not be at home. 他可能不在家。（不太有把握）
（3）、疑問(wèn)句中，通常用can表推測(cè)。
e.g. - Someone is knocking at the door.
- Who can it be ? 可能是誰(shuí)呢？
Where can he be now? 他現(xiàn)在有可能在哪呢？
二、對(duì)過(guò)去的動(dòng)作或狀況的推斷常用“情態(tài)動(dòng)詞+have done”。語(yǔ)氣強(qiáng)弱與以上三點(diǎn)相同，可依次類(lèi)推。但表示“過(guò)去不可能”時(shí)，除了可用can't have done之外還可用couldn't have done。
e.g. He must have gone to Wuhan. （肯定已經(jīng)去了）
He may / might / could have gone to Wuhan. （可能已去了）
He can not / could not have gone to Wuhan. （不可能已去了）
Can he have gone to Wuhan? （可能去了嗎？）
can(could)/may(might)/must/will等+have+done用來(lái)對(duì)過(guò)去發(fā)生的情況做出語(yǔ)氣強(qiáng)
弱不同的推測(cè)。具體使用時(shí)請(qǐng)注意以下幾點(diǎn)： ① can一般用于疑問(wèn)句和否定句, 極少用于肯定句。 e.g. ---Can she have gone to school? ---No, she can't have gone to school. I saw her just now. ② may表推測(cè)，一般不用于疑問(wèn)句；疑問(wèn)句中該用can, could或might。 e.g. How could he have forgotten such an important thing? （不用may） Might you have met him somewhere? （不用may） ③ could, may, might 用于肯定句語(yǔ)氣較弱，must用于肯定句語(yǔ)氣很強(qiáng); may,
might 用于否定句語(yǔ)氣較弱，can, could 用于否定句語(yǔ)氣很強(qiáng)。 e.g. He could/may/might have gone to school. 他可能上學(xué)去了。 He must have gone to school. 他肯定是上學(xué)去了。 He may/might not have gone to school. 他也許沒(méi)去上學(xué)。 He can't/couldn't have gone to school. 他肯定沒(méi)去上學(xué)。 ④ must表推測(cè)，一般不用于否定句；否定句中該用can或could。 誤：We mustn't have met before. 正：We can't have met before. needn't + have + done 可用來(lái)表示“已做了多余的事”。 e.g. There is no school today. You needn't have come. could + have + done 可用來(lái)表示沒(méi)做某事的“遺憾”。 e.g. She came here on foot, but she could have come by bus. could / might + have + done 也可用來(lái)表示委婉的批評(píng)。 e.g. You could have come 5 minutes earlier. You might at least have written me a letter. 在反意問(wèn)句中，表推測(cè)的情態(tài)動(dòng)詞不出現(xiàn)在簡(jiǎn)短問(wèn)句部分,取而代之的應(yīng)是情態(tài)動(dòng)
詞。句中有過(guò)去時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)的，問(wèn)句部分用過(guò)去時(shí)，否則，用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。e.g. He must have been there yesterday, wasn't he? He must have been there, hasn't he? He can't have been there yesterday, was he? He can't have been there, has he?
三、由上我們可以得出一個(gè)結(jié)論：表推測(cè)時(shí)，must只用在肯定句中，而 can只用于否定句和疑問(wèn)句中。而實(shí)際上can可用于肯定句中，但這常用于表可能性，意義有所不同，譯為“有時(shí)候可能”。
e.g. Old newspaper can be useful.
舊報(bào)紙有時(shí)候還是有用的。
It can get quite cold here at night.
晚上這里有時(shí)候會(huì)相當(dāng)冷。

The laws of the game state that the referee is part of the playing area and that the game __9__ if the ball strikes him. There is no laws to differentiate between a (an) __10__or intentional contact.

第三部分 閱讀理解
A
The trees arrived by post, a half-open parcel. They were thin and straight, rather like arrows but with shiny leaves at one end and muddy roots at the other. Terry and his father took them down the garden and planted them in their prepared places. Terry had great hopes of the middle tree, now set in the holy spot where Henry, his cat, run over, had been laid to rest a year before. The nine trees made an avenue down one side of the garden, where there was already a fifteen-foot stonewall between the garden and the back yards of the Jenkins Street houses. “Why do we want a row of trees as well as a wall?” Terry asked his father.
His father said, “For privacy. These trees grow very thickly.”
His father’s love of privacy often puzzled Terry, who was not one to keep himself to himself, but he could see part of the point here. The houses in Jenkins Street were on higher ground. His friend Leslie lived in number twelve, and Leslie had only to stand on a box to see right over the wall.
“Will the trees grow higher than the wall?” Terry asked then.
“Oh yes, twice as high if not more. It’ll take a few years but they'll grow.”
So they were going to have nine trees thirty feet tall, to keep them from being overlooked. Terry wondered why this was so desirable. He said, “Our garden is very pretty. Why can’t we let the people over the wall see it? That wouldn’t be showing off, would it? ” “No, I don’t think it would be,” his father said. “Yet some people might feel a bit less happy if they can always see a good thing that isn’t theirs. We don’t want to be the cause of any jealousy if we can help it.”
This consideration for other people’s feelings must be a grown-up thing. Terry thought. It was not his idea of how to run things. He said, “These trees-it seems a lot of trouble to go to just to stop people being jealous of us,”
His father looked at him. “It isn’t much trouble, Terry,” he said. “These trees will grow without help from us. They’ll be beautiful. And listen to them. You can already hear them whispering to us in the wind. ”

In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Bad events like "serious illness of a family member" were high on the list, but so were some helpful life changing events like marriage.
When you take the Holmes Rahe test you must remember that the score does not show how you deal with stress - it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you deal with these events dramatically（戲劇性地） affects your chances of staying healthy. By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women’s magazines ran titles like "Stress causes illness".
If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy the articles said avoid stressful events. But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous ,many - like the death of a loved one - are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription （處方） for staying away from chances as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move. The idea that all stress makes you sick also takes no notice of a lot of what we know about people. It supposes we’re all vulnerable and not active in the face of the difficult situation. But what about human ability and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental strength than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom and physical and mental pressure.
6. The result of Holmes Rahe’s medical research tells us ________ .
A. the way you deal with major events may cause stress
B. what should be done to avoid stress
C. what kind of event would cause stress
D. how to deal with sudden changes in life
7. The studies on stress in the early 1970s led to ________ .
A. popular avoidance of stressful jobs B. great fear over the mental disorder
C. a careful research into stress related illnesses D. widespread worry about its harmful effects
8. The score of the Holmes Rahe test shows________ .
A. how you can deal with life changing events B. how helpful events can change your life
C. how stressful a major event can be D. how much pressure you are under
9. Why is "such simplistic advice" ( Line 1, Para.3) impossible to follow?
A. No one can stay on the same job for long
B. No prescription is effective in reducing stress
C. People have to get married someday
D. You could be missing chances as well
10. According to the passage people who have experienced ups and downs may become ________ .

One possible version:
It is reported in Rongcheng Daily that a big supermarket has made a new decision that in order to reduce white pollution, the market will no longer provide for the customers free plastic bags. In my opinion, the decision will have both positive and negative effects. As is known, people throw away used plastic bags wherever they want to and the white pollution, mainly caused by plastics, which is hard to break down, is becoming a danger to people’s life. There is no doubt that the decision will do good to the environment. However, it will bring inconvenience to the customers. It’s likely that fewer people will choose this supermarket and therefore the sales of the shop will be badly affected.
To solve this problem, I think the supermarket can provide paper bags or the customers are encouraged to bring along bags of their own. But what I want to point out is that stopping providing plastic bags is far from being the best way to protect the earth from white pollution. It’s not until everyone understands the importance of protecting environment that the world will be really clean.
蜜
蜜蜂的語(yǔ)言
有很多種不同種類(lèi)的蜂.有些是聚居在大家族里,象蜜蜂,把它們的窩筑在樹(shù)上或巖石洞里.還有一些則把它們的窩筑在地下的洞里.也有一些根本就不住在一起的蜜蜂.在不同種類(lèi)的蜂之中,蜜蜂吸引了很多科學(xué)家,因?yàn)樗麄冇靡环N語(yǔ)言來(lái)互相傳遞信息.1851年,現(xiàn)代蜂房的研制使研究蜜蜂語(yǔ)言的實(shí)驗(yàn)成為可能. 卡爾馮弗里希教授,一個(gè)澳大利亞的科學(xué)家,多年研究在黑暗的蜂房里蜜蜂是怎樣以很巧妙的方式傳遞信息的.馮弗里希教授多年從事蜜蜂的研究工作,他對(duì)一再觀察到的某些現(xiàn)象曾感到迷惑不解.當(dāng)他把一小碟一小碟的蜜放在桌上時(shí),蜜蜂不一會(huì)兒就來(lái)了.只要有一只蜜蜂發(fā)現(xiàn)了蜜,沒(méi)多久便飛來(lái)許多蜜蜂.看來(lái),一只(發(fā)現(xiàn)了食物的)蜜蜂能把食物的信息傳遞給蜂箱里的其他蜜蜂.這是怎樣傳遞的呢?為了弄清情況,馮弗里希制作了幾個(gè)特殊的蜂箱,每個(gè)里面只有一蜂巢.蜂箱的一面裝上玻璃,他可以透過(guò)玻璃觀察蜜蜂在里面的活動(dòng)情況.為了便于區(qū)別,他在一些蜜蜂的身上涂上顏色. 當(dāng)一只帶有標(biāo)記的蜜蜂從喂食的桌上飛回蜂箱時(shí),馮弗里希就透過(guò)玻璃進(jìn)行觀察.使他驚異的是,這只蜜蜂在巢壁上跳起舞來(lái).先向右轉(zhuǎn)一圈,再向左轉(zhuǎn)一圈.就這樣一遍又一遍地來(lái)回轉(zhuǎn)圈.但情況還不只此.這種舞蹈似乎使周?chē)拿鄯湟不钴S起來(lái)了.它們成群地跟在這只蜜蜂后面,模仿它的動(dòng)作.然后離開(kāi)蜂箱飛到喂食處去了.這種圓圈舞好象是傳遞有關(guān)食物的信息.可是它還傳遞什么別的信息嗎? 馮弗里希想弄清這種舞蹈能不能說(shuō)明喂食處有多遠(yuǎn). 因此,他安排了兩個(gè)喂食處.
一個(gè)靠近蜂箱.另一個(gè)遠(yuǎn)離蜂箱. 他給所有來(lái)附近喂食處的蜜蜂標(biāo)上藍(lán)色,給飛到遠(yuǎn)的喂食處的蜜蜂標(biāo)上紅色.當(dāng)蜜蜂返回蜂箱時(shí),馮弗里希看到了一種奇妙的現(xiàn)象.所有到過(guò)近處喂食處的蜜蜂都跳著圓圈舞.所有到過(guò)遠(yuǎn)處喂食處的蜜蜂都跳著一種完全不同的舞--擺尾舞.跳舞的蜜蜂沿著直線飛,腹部左右擺動(dòng).然后它轉(zhuǎn)半個(gè)圈,再沿直線飛,在另一邊又轉(zhuǎn)半個(gè)圈.它一遍又一遍地不斷重復(fù)著這些"舞步".情況清楚了.圓圈舞的意思是食物在近處.擺尾舞的意思是食物在遠(yuǎn)處.
接下來(lái),馮弗里希和他的同事們?cè)诳拷湎涞牡胤皆O(shè)立了一個(gè)喂食處. 接著他們把喂食處慢慢地往遠(yuǎn)處移動(dòng).他們回到蜂箱近旁時(shí),便仔細(xì)觀察擺尾舞.他們用跑表計(jì)算蜜蜂在一分鐘內(nèi)重復(fù)舞蹈的次數(shù).他們發(fā)現(xiàn)喂食地點(diǎn)越遠(yuǎn),舞就跳得越慢,舞蹈越慢,在一分鐘內(nèi)能夠重復(fù)的次數(shù)就越少.于是又發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)令人驚訝的情況.每分鐘擺尾舞的次數(shù)說(shuō)明到喂食地點(diǎn)的距離.他們也發(fā)現(xiàn)蜜蜂在它們的蜂房和喂食處所飛的最大距離是3.2公里.
其次,馮弗里希和他的同事們要知道的是蜜蜂們是否能夠告訴其它伙伴確切的食物位置.例如,蜜蜂能
