31、ic.DScientists say they have found out a chemical produced by locusts（蝗虫）that causes the insects to join together in huge swarms（群）.On their own, locusts are mostly harmless.

32、ning swarms to destroy huge areas of crops.A recent study published in Nature identifies a pheromone believed to be responsible for the insects swarming behavior. A pheromone is a chemical item produced by an animal that influences the behavior of another animal of the same kind.The pheromone, known
33、 as 4VA, was found in the worlds most widespread kind of locust, the migratory locust. It powerfully drew locusts of both sexes and all ages, the research found.

34、itute of Zoology. He told Reuters news agency that migratory locusts are so widespread and dangerous, they representa serious threat to agriculture worldwide. Kang said further research will be needed to find out if 4VA exists in other species, such as the desert locust.Kang said a chemical could be
35、 developed to block 4VAs effects to prevent swarming. A man-made version of the pheromone might also be developed to attract locusts into traps to be killed. Locusts could also be developed with genetic changes that would not react to 4VA, Kang added. Such locusts could be sent to the wild to build
36、wild non-swarming populations.Leslie Vosshall, head of Rockefeller Universitys Laboratory of Neurogenetics and Behavior in New York, said one of the most exciting developments would be finding a chemical that could block the reception of 4VA. She noted that there are still several unknowns about the

New methods could be used to stop locusts.B. Locusts do not cause much damage on their own.C. A large number of lo
38、custs can destroy the crops terribly.D. Locusts swarm because of a chemical produced by themselves.33. What can we learn about the pheromone?A. It only exists in the migratory locust.B.
