问题     German zoologist Randolf Menzel says bees aren’t as busy as people believe they are. "Bees are not particularly【76】. Instead they sleep a lot and are lazy. They spend【77】80 per cent of the night sleeping. Even during the day they often fly to the nest【78】they rest their wings." said Menzel, a zoologist at the Free University in Berlin, who hasstudied bees for four decades. But to【79】for their apparent laziness, they are actually very intelligent. They are【80】learners and able to recognize various smells.
    Menzel said bees’ learning, like【81】of many animals, was based on a reward system. "If a bee is rewarded once for something, it remembers it for a week. But if it is rewarded three times,  it will remember it for its【82】lifetime." Said Menzel. He last week was awarded a【83】by the German Zoological Society.
    The memory capacity of bees means they can【84】among more than 50 different smells to find the one they want. "What is interesting is that what smells good to a bee, is also a【85】smell for humans. " said Menzel. [br]
选项 A、rapid
B、swift
C、speedy
D、quick
答案 D
解析 四个词都有“快的，迅速的”的意思，但其意义各有侧重点。rapid多指“运动本身”，迅速的，以极高速度运动，例如：a rapid river湍急的河流；swift指“快速的”，但经常含有“灵巧的，优美的，不费力的”意思，指运动的流畅性与稳定性；在很多场合，可与quick、fast通用，但swift带有文学意味，是比较正式的用词，例如：The express is as swift as an arrow.快车似箭一般地飞驶。speedy含有“时间快、速度快并且迅速把事情办好”的意思，如：a speedy fight速战；quick指“用较短的时间或在较近的将来动作或理解迅速的”，例如：a quick reply一个迅速的回答。D合适。
