28、al test onlineDPollution is reducing the fragrance of plants and thus preventing bees from pollinating themendangering one of the most essential cycles of nature, a new study suggests.The potentially hugely significant research, funded by US National Science Foundation, has found that gases mainly f
29、ormed from the emissions of car exhaust prevent flowers from attracting bees and other insects to pollinate them. And the scientists who have conducted the study fear that insects abilities to drive away enemies and attract mates may also be disturbed.Professor Jose Fuentes, who led the study, said,
30、 “Scent molecules(分子) produced by flowers in a less polluted environment could travel for roughly 1,000 to 1,200 meters. But today they may travel only 200 to 300 meters. This makes it increasingly difficult for bees and other insects to locate the flowers.”The researchers, who worked on the molecul
31、es of snapdragons(金鱼草),found that the molecules are volatile(易挥发的) and quickly bond with pollutants, mainly formed from vehicle emissions. This chemically changes the molecules so that they no longer smell like flowers. A harmful cycle is therefore set up where insects struggle to get enough food an
32、d the plants do not get pollinated enough to multiply.Already bees, which pollinate most of the worlds crops, reduce in such a great decline that has never been known before in Britain and across much of the globe.

Politicians insist that CCD has not yet been found in Britain, but considering the present number of bees, the agriculture minister Lord Rooker has sent the warning, “The honey bee
34、 population could be wiped out in 10 years.”Although the researchers are not certain whether this is the real cause of CCD, they say that pollution is making life more difficult for bees and other insects in many ways.68. In what way does pollution prevent flowers from attracting bees? A. By shorten
