D(真题·宁波市南三县)
①A little brown-and-white bird flies across the East African grassland and finds a hive(蜂房) in a big tree. The bird loves bee larvae(幼虫), her favourite food, but she's too small to challenge groups of bees. Luckily, she has a helper: humans! She's a greater honeyguide. And this kind of birds has guided tribes(部落) in East Africa to find honey for thousands of years.
②Honeyguides are special because they're wild and no one trains them. Also, they don't learn their honey-finding skills from their parents. This means they know these skills all by themselves.
③The honeyguide flies back to look for humans. When she finds them, she chatters(喋喋不休) loudly. Then the tribes know that the bird is ready to lead them to find honey. They run after her. When they reach the hive, the honeyguide sings a new song to say, "Here it is!" After the humans get enough honey, they leave the larvae behind for the honeyguide.
④Many East African tribes get honey only in this way. Each tribe has a different way of talking with the honeyguide. In Mozambique, people develop a call "brrrrr-hmmph". Other tribes have a special whistle(口哨).
⑤The role of this little bird is smaller, however. As more people move to cities and work on the farms, fewer people know how to find honey with honeyguides. Besides, some even learnt to raise their own bees. But for people in Mozambique, they still love these little birds. They know that by working together, life's a little sweeter for everyone.

本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍东非的响蜜䴕：这种鸟会引导人类寻找蜂巢，与人类形成独特的合作关系，同时说明其生存现状。
第27题：细节理解题。A对蜜蜂幼虫没兴趣与原文“引导部落找蜂巢”矛盾；C黑白色、体型小与原文棕白色矛盾；D父母教找蜜与第二段“不学自会”矛盾；B帮助东非部落找蜂巢符合原文描述。故答案为B。
第29题：写作手法题。解析：第五段对比“自己养蜂”与“莫桑比克人依赖响蜜䴕”的不同情况。作者通过“对比事实”来展现其生存状况；A列数字、B提问题、D讲故事均不符合该段写法。故答案为C。

【分析】
做这类英语阅读理解题，需先明确题目类型（细节理解、写作手法、主旨大意等），再根据题目关键词回原文对应段落定位，逐一比对选项与原文内容，排除与原文不符的错误选项，最终确定正确答案。

27. 细节理解题，定位原文第1、2段：A选项与原文“loves bee larvae（喜爱蜜蜂幼虫）”矛盾；C选项与原文“brown-and-white（棕白相间）”矛盾；D选项与原文“they don't learn their honey-finding skills from their parents（不向父母学习找蜜技能）”矛盾；B选项对应原文“guided tribes in East Africa to find honey（引导东非部落找蜂蜜）”，符合描述，故正确。
28. 细节理解题，定位原文第3段：原文提到“the honeyguide sings a new song to say, 'Here it is!'（响蜜䴕唱新的歌表示到蜂巢了）”，对应A选项“Sing a different song（唱不同的歌）”；B选项“whistle（口哨）”是人类的交流方式，C选项“brrrrr-hmmph”是莫桑比克人的叫声，D选项“喋喋不休”是响蜜䴕找人类时的动作，均不符合题意，故正确。
29. 写作手法题，定位原文第5段：该段对比了“越来越少人会用响蜜䴕找蜜”“有人自己养蜂”“莫桑比克人仍依赖响蜜䴕”的不同情况，属于对比事实的写法；A选项列数字、B选项提问题、D选项讲故事均不符合，故正确。
