Scientists have discovered that plants themselves produce many poisonous chemicals for defense against insects. But insects have developed ways of dealing with them. Guess how many years have the insects been eating plants. The number itself will scare you. In fact, insects have been eating plants for as many as 250 million years. Now insects are using these same mechanisms to deal with man-made poisons—insecticides. This is why resistance of insects to insecticides has developed so rapidly.
What should be done? Scientists studying the problem suggest that farmers use less insecticides. At the moment, farmers regularly spray crops as a precaution against problems that are caused by large numbers of pests. They should, instead, spray only where pests have actually been seen. Secondly, farmers could use a combination of two or three insecticides at once. To survive, the insects would need to become resistant to two or more insecticides at the same time.
The most surprising suggestion, perhaps, is that at certain times of the year, farmers should actually try to attract new insects onto the crops they are trying to protect. The new insects will mate with those which survived from a certain kind of insecticide and will lessen the latter’s resistance to it.
Scientists hope that these and other measures will postpone the day when farmers and scientists will have to stand by while new super-bugs which may be resistant to all poisons invade our farms and devour our crops.
选项
A、Insects have developed some sort of resistance to man-made poisons.
B、Insects have been eating plants for about 250 million years.
C、Farmers sometimes use a combination of two or three insecticides at once.
D、New insects mate with insecticide-surviving insects.
答案
A
解析
What conclusion can be drawn from the scientists observation?
四个选项内容多与昆虫有关,由此可以推断,本问题考查的内容很有可能是关于昆虫的某个陈述。昆虫通过进化可以抵制植物本身的抗虫物质一一有毒化学物质poisonous chemicals,昆虫也可以通过相同的方式对付人工杀虫剂man-made poisons—insecticides。这就是昆虫的抗杀虫剂性迅速增强的原因。可见科学家发现了昆虫的抗杀虫剂性。故正确答案为A)。
