16、omplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions. The bees knees The bee is one of the worlds busiest creatures: no wonder that in English we have expressions like “as busy as a bee” and “hes the bees knees”(meaning “he is a very impressive person”) Bees not only collect hon
17、ey, they make wax for their hives(and for us to use as furniture-polish) they also pollinates the plants they visit, andare therefore indispensable to farmers. Now a group of scientists at Cornell University in New York State have designed a new way to use bees. The group, led by Joseph Kovach, repo
18、rts in the current issue of Biological Control how it has created and patented a bee “footbath” that uses the insects for pest-control.Strawberries, along with many other soft fruits, suffer from grey mould, atroublesome disease that causes fruit to rot. Although the fungus mainly damagesthe fruit,
19、infection actually starts in the flowers. One effective treatment is to spray these flowers with another fungus, Trychoderma harzanium T1295-22. This eliminates the grey mould before the berries form, but causes no harm to them.Dr. Kovachs system works by putting the Trychoderma into a specially des
20、igned tray that is fixed to the entrance to a hive. The tray can be as easily moved and replaced as the tray of a photocopier. The bee pick up the Trychoderma on their legs as they walk out of the hive onto the tray, and deposit it on the flowers they visit as they search for honey. The researchers
21、say that bee-delivery is nearly twice as effective as spraying, anduses a fraction of the Trychoderma, because the insects deliver it directly to the flowers rather than wasting them on other parts of the plant. This means that bee-delivered Trychoderma offers as much protection as conventional spra
22、ying methods. An added bonus is that simply adding a beehive to a strawberry field improves yields by 2030% because of better pollination, Dr. Kovach has high hopes of extending the use of his system to other fruit. Bee-lovers need not worry: the actual increased pay-load carried by the bees is very
23、small, and Trychoderma in no way damages their health. Honey lovers need not worry, either: Trychoderma is found naturally in strawberry flowers. In any case, the honey produced during strawberry bloom time is eaten by the bees themselves, the stuff harvested for human consumption is made much later
24、 in the year. The system does have a couple of drawbacks. Bees only fly about in good weather,so if you crop blooms on a rainy day, too bad. And bees are unpredictable: although they can be trained to feed on a particular crop, if they find a sweeter, more attractive flower nearby, they may be tempt
25、ed away- and your fruit may suffer. A good idea,then, but clearly not the bee all and end all.1. Why are bees indispensable to farmers?2. What kind of treatment strawberry farmers use to eliminates the grey mould?3. What is Dr. Kovachs new system?4. What benefits can farmers get from Dr. Kovachs sys
