答案：1. A；2. C；3. A；4. B
解析：
1. 第1题：“Buzz”是拟声词，用来模拟蜜蜂发出的嗡嗡声，所以选A。2. 第2题：根据诗歌中“In days that are cloudy, He’s making his wax (蜂蜡)”的内容，可知阴天蜜蜂忙着制作蜂蜡，所以选C。3. 第3题：根据“From morning’s first light”（从清晨的第一缕光），对应的时间应延续到夜晚，所以缺失的单词是night，选A。4. 第4题：诗歌中提到蜜蜂是“happy, good fellow”且“a great worker”，还描述它从早到晚边唱歌边工作，体现出蜜蜂是勤劳又快乐的小动物，所以选B。
