　　参考答案：

　　1解析为like后面可以跟doing或to do形式。

　　答案为eating/to eat。

　　2.解析为本空意为“蜂巢”，一个蜂巢中会有很多的蜜蜂，因此应用bee的复数形式的所有格，即bees’。

　　答案为bees’。

　　3.解析为因为前面没有冠词或物主代坷的修饰，所以此处应填入part的复数形式。

　　答案为parts。

　　4.解析为因句中已有谓语动词have，所以people and animals后面应为后置定语，与look为主谓关系，因此look应为其-ing形式。

　　答案为looking。

　　5.解析为此处应给help加-er构成helper(帮忙的人)，指的是后面的a honey guide。

　　答案为helper。

　　6.解析为动词like需要副词修饰，因此应填入actual的副词形式actually。

　　答案为actually。

　　7.解析为此处填入复数形式最好，因为并不是指某一个“蜂房”。

　　答案为beehives。

　　8.解析为名词nest前应用形容词修饰。suit的形容词形式为suitable舒适的。

　　答案为suitable 。

　　9.解析为定语从句的时态和主句一致，因此应填入attract的第三人称单数形式。

　　答案为attracts。

　　10.解析为主句中谓语为fly，因此此处wait为伴随状语，需用其-ing形式。

　　答案为waiting。

　　填句补文
