More than 40 percent of the species that help with pollination (植物传粉) are under threat due to the polluted environment. So some researchers have been searching for ways to protect the bees and other crucial pollinators while some engineers have thought perhaps an army of robotic pollinators could keep humans well-supplied in these foods. A team of researchers has recently designed a small drone capable of pollinating flowers. They tested their device on the large, pink flowers of lilies. And it worked.
Exciting as this success was, it is only the first step. The team has yet to figure out how to apply the concept on the massive scale. Could a fleet of robo-pollinators replace the bees?
“Although the answer isn’t a straightforward no, it would be a challenging leap to go from this one little drone pollinating one large flower to an army of drones spreading across fields of crops,” says Scott Swinton, an agricultural economist at Michigan State University.
“The successful pollination was fascinating,” Scott Swinton says, “but the device itself might damage the flowers. I wonder how you make sure you’re not doing more harm than good to flowers when you have a drone.”
“Furthermore,” he points out, “a lily is a particularly easy flower for a drone to pollinate. To make this more broadly applicable for smaller and more complex flower structures, the drones would need to be particularly agile.”
Still, Joshua Campbell, an expert at the University of Florida, says “Pollination systems are extremely complex and will always require insects. There is no substitute for bees.”
“As for the technology itself, it is a promising new development in existing drone technology,” he added. Yet he still sees some hurdles ahead before drones can be applied on a large scale.
1.What makes those scientists invent pollinating drones?
A. There are no satisfying pollinators.
B. Humans need more food supplies.
C. Pollinating species are being endangered.
D. Drone technology is well-developed now.
2.What problem does Scott think scientists have to solve for the robo-pollinators?
A. Making them look like bees. B. Using them in quantity.
C. Keeping them flying non-stop. D. Instructing them to tell plants.
3.The underlined word “agile” in Para 6 can be replaced by “________”.
A. cheap B. catchy
C. lovely D. smart
4.What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Will pollinating drones take over for honeybees?
B. What is leading pollinating honeybees to decline?
C. Why does pollinating need a money-saving option?
D. How did researchers invent pollinating drones?

There was a note of ____ in his voice.“Did you know that you had come into the finest place in the world to buy socks？” I had not been aware of that, as my entrance had been ____. “Come with me，” said the boy，excitedly.

“Hold on, young man, I am going to buy only one pair！”“I know that，” said he，“but I want you to see ___ beautiful these are. Aren't they wonderful？” ____ was on his face an expression of solemn and holy pleasure，____ he were revealing to me mysteries of his religion. I became far ____ interested in him than in the socks. I looked at him in amazement. “My friend，” said I, “if you can keep this up, if this is not ____ the enthusiasm that comes from novelty, from having a new job, if you can keep up this enthusiasm and excitement day after day, in ten years you will own every ____ in the United States.”
My amazement ____ his pride and joy in salesmanship will be easily understood by all who read this article. In many shops the ____ has to wait for someone to wait upon him.

Whether he is ____ in deep thought in which he hates to be disturbed or he is chatting with a girl clerk, you feel like ____ for “being too rude”．
