A beetle invasion in the United States has killed at least twenty million ash trees. The invasion of the emerald ash borer was first discovered near Detroit, Michigan. [9] Experts believe the small green insects arrived in the 1990’s in shipments of goods from East Asia
The emerald ash borer has destroyed trees in the Midwest and as Far East in the United States as Maryland. [l0] The insects have also spread as far north as Ontario. Canada
Ash trees can resist many diseases. But they cannot resist the emerald ash borer. It lays eggs on the bark. The young larva drill into and feed on the inner bark. This harms the ability of the tree to transport water and nutrition.
In some places, farmers are using "detection trees". They have an area where bark has been cut away. The area circles the tree. [11] The process weakens the tree. It makes them easier targets for borers, and shows if the insects are nearby.
Efforts to stop the spread of the emerald ash borer include cutting down affected trees. There are worries that the ash tree might disappear unless the invasion is controlled. To prepare for such a possibility, a government laboratory is asking people to send in the seeds from ash trees. [12] It examines and x-rays the seeds to make sure there are no living borer fertilized eggs. Only the best seeds are remained and then sent for storage in a seed bank. There, they are dried and frozen. Should the seeds ever be needed, the hope is that scientists might someday develop an ash tree that could resist the little green attackers.
9. How did the emerald ash borers go to the Untied States according to experts?
10. How far do the insects spread northward?
11. Why is part of the bark cut away?
12. What is the government laboratory trying to do?
选项
A、They were original insects found in Detroit
B、They went with goods from Asia in the 1990’s.
C、They flied from the Midwest to the Far East.
D、They followed the shipments from Ontario.
答案
B
解析
短文提到,专家认为这种绿色的白蜡虫是在上世纪90年代跟着从东亚装运的货物到达美国的,故选B。这种昆虫确实是在底特律首次发现的,但A中的original表明是当地原始的昆虫,故不对。C中的Midwest和Far East以及D中的shipments和Ontario均可从短文中听到,但它们只是利用原词干扰。
