Ⅱ.理解
There are many American expressions about insects—like bees, for example. Bees always appear to be busy, moving around their homes, or hives. In fact, you might say your house was a beehive of activity if your whole family was helping you clean. You also might say you made a beeline for something if you went there right away.
Here is an expression about bees that is not used much any more, but we like it anyway. We think it was first used in the nineteen twenties. If something was the best of its kind, you might say it was the bee's knees. Now, we admit that we do not know how this expression developed. In fact, we do not even know if bees have knees!
If your friend cannot stop talking about something because she thinks it is important, you might say she has a bee in her bonnet. If someone asks you a personal question, you might say “that is none of your beeswax”. This means none of your business.
Speaking of personal questions, there is an expression people sometimes use when their children ask, “where do babies come from？” Parents who discuss sex and reproduction say this is talking about the birds and the bees.
Hornets are beelike insects that sometimes attack people. If you are really angry, you might say you are mad as a hornet.
Butterflies are beautiful insects, but you would not want to have butterflies in your stomach. That means to be nervous about having to do something, like speaking in front of a crowd. You would also not want to have ants in your pants. That is, to be restless and unable to sit still.
16. When Tom spends his weekend cleaning his house, we can say he is as busy as ________.
A. an insect B. a hornet
C. a butterfly D. a bee
17. Which of the following expressions can NOT be often heard in daily life?
A. Make a beeline.
B. That is none of your beeswax.
C. It's the bee's knees.
D. My house is a beehive of activity.
18. When you say to Mary “you have a bee in your bonnet”， what do you really mean?
A. She should stop talking about something.
B. You care about her very much.
C. She is in danger and needs help.
D. What she talks about is really important.
19. Which of the following would be discussed next?
A. Some expressions about pigs.

D. Some expressions about colours.
答案与解析：
在美国，有许多关于昆虫的习语，其中关于蜜蜂、大黄蜂和蝴蝶的习语更受人们的青睐。这些习语的出现，使人们的语言变得更加丰富多彩。
16．D 推理。由第一段第二、三句可知选D。
17．C 细节理解题。由第二段前三句可知，习语“It's the bee's knees”人们已经不经常说了，因此我们不会经常听到这个习语。
18．A 推理。由第三段第一句可知，如果一个人喋喋不休地说自己认为重要的事情，我们可能会说you have a bee in your bonnet。因此这个词语应表示“不要再说了”。
19．C 推理判断题。由短文第一句可知，本文要讲述的是有关昆虫的习语。在四个选项中，只有C项的bugs(虫子)与昆虫有关。
