34、 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 formed from the emissions of car exhaust prevent flowers from attracting bees and
35、 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, “Scent molecules(分子) produced by flowers in a less polluted environment could t
36、ravel 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 molecules of snapdragons(金鱼草),found that the molecules are volatile(易挥发的) and quickly b
37、ond 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 and the plants do not get pollinated enough to multiply.Already bees, which pollin

At least a quarter of Americas 2.5 million honey bee colonies have been mysteriously wiped out by colony collapse disorder(CCD),where hives are found suddenly desert
39、ed.The crisis has now spread to Europe. 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 population could be wiped out in 10 years.”Although the researchers are not cer
40、tain 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 shortening the distance traveled by the scent molecules of flowers. B. By disturbing th
