9、 not just hear the buzz of bees among their flowers, but the whirr of robots, too. Scientists have managed to turn an unassuming drone （无人机）into a remote - controlled pollinator （授粉媒介）by attaching horsehairs coated with a special, sticky gel （凝胶）to its underbelly （下腹部）.Animal pollinators are needed
10、for the reproduction of 90% of flowering plants and one third of human food crops. Chief among those are bees - but many bee populations in the United States have been in sharp decline in recent decades. Thus, the decline of bees isn*t just worrisome because it could damage ecosystems, but also beca
11、use it could disrupt agriculture and economy. People have been trying to come up with replacement techniques, but none of them are especially effective yet.Scientists have thought about using drones, but they havent figured out how to make free - flying robot insects that can rely on their own power
12、 source without being attached to a wire. Its very tough work, said senior author Eijiro Miyako, a chemist at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. His particular contribution to the field involves a gel, one hed considered a mistake 10 years before and stuck in a sto
13、rage cabinet （储物本巨）. When it was rediscovered a decade later, it hadnt dried up or degraded at all. I was so surprised because it still had high viscosity, “ Miyako said.The chemist noticed that when dropped, the gel absorbed an impressive amount of dust from the floor. Miyako realized this material
14、 could be very useful for picking up pollen (花 粉). He and his colleagues chose a drone and attached horsehairs to its smooth surface to copy a bee*s fuzzy body. They coated those horsehairs in the gel, and then controlled the drones over lilies, where they would pick up the pollen from one flower an
15、d then deposit the pollen at another one, thus fertilizing it.The scientists looked at the hairs under a scanning electron microscope and counted up the pollen grains attached to the surface and found that the drones whose horsehairs had been coated with the gel had about 10 times more pollen than t
16、hose that had not been coated with the gel.Miyako does not think such drones would replace bees altogether, but could simply help bees with their pollinating duties. Theres a lot of work to be done before thats a reality, however. Small drones will need to become more controllable and energy efficie
17、nt, as well as smarter, with better GPS and artificial intelligence.(1) What does the underlined word viscosity in Para.3 probably mean? A. hardness.B. stickiness.C. flexibility.D. purity.(2) We can learn from the passage that.A. bees disrupt both agriculture and economyB. scientists have invented s
18、elf - powered robot insectsC. bees in the United States are dying out.D. Miyako found the special feature of the gel by chance(3) A drone works best in picking up pollen when.A. its body is made like a beesB . its GPS works more efficientlyC. some flowers are coated with the gelD. horsehairs with th
19、e gel are attached to it(4) According to Eijiro Miyako, the dronesA are not yet ready fbr practical useB. may eventually replace bees in the futureC. are much more efficient than bee pollinatorsD. can provide a solution to economic depression3.

21、he appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can put their health at further risk, said AMA Board Member Jack Resneck Jr M. D. in a statement.The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken
22、off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctors written approval.

28、ild, but researchers said puzzles help children with math - related skills.Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children at the University of Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was fo
29、und to be a significant predictor of cognition (认知)after controlling for differences in parents income, education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said.The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child - parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzle
30、s between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age.The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate (旋转)and translate shapes, Levine said in a statement.The parents were asked to i
31、nteract with their children as they normally would, and about half of the children in the study played with puzzles at one time. Higher - income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently, and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills. However, boys
32、 tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than the parents of girls.The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science.(1) In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play?
