11.Directions:Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.An African-bom British scientist received an environment research prize at the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) meeting for showing how bees can be used to reduce conflict between people and elephants.Lucy King's work proved that beehive"fences"(蜂箱"栅栏")can keep elephants out of African farmers'fields.The animals are scared of bees,which can bite them inside their long noses,and flee when they hear buzzing (蜂鸣声 ).
Dr King's work offers an intelligent solution to an age-old challenge,while providingfurther confirmation of the importance of bees to people and a really clever way of preserving the world's largest land animal for current and future generations.Working in Kenya,Dr King and her team showed that more than 90% of elephants will flee when they hear the sounds of buzzing bees.Afterwards,they also found that elephants produce a special sound to warn their fellows of the danger.They used the findings to construct barriers where beehives are woven into a fence,keeping the elephants away from places where people live and grow food.
A two-year project involving 34 farms showed that elephants trying to go through the fences would shake them,disturbing the bees.Later,the fences were adopted by farming communities in three Kenyan districts--who also made increased amounts of money from selling honey."Dr Lucy King has designed a constructive solution that considers the needs of animals but also the economic benefits to the local communities linked to species preservation,"said CMS executive secretary Elizabeth Maruma Mrema.
As Africa's population grows,competition for space between people and elephants is becoming more serious,and there are fatalities on both sides.The same is true in parts of Asia.Sri Lanka alone sees the deaths of all estimated 60people and 200elephants each year from conflict.
Working with the charity Save the Elephants,Lucy King now wants to see whether the Kenyan technique will work in other parts of Africa--and perhaps,eventually,in Asia."With Asia,there are some issues we'd have to look at--it's a totally different elephant species,the bee species are different,it rains a lot more,we have animals like bears that love honey--but I'd be very interested in sharing my research with anyone with experience in Asia to see whether it could work there,"she said.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

分析 【文章大意】这篇文章主要讲述了出生于非洲的英籍科学家Dr King,研究如何用蜜蜂减少人类与大象之间的冲突,因此获得了环境研究大奖.
解答 81.conflict between people and elephants 细节理解题.根据第一段:showing how bees can be used to reduce conflict between people and elephants可知这个研究使用蜜蜂展示了如何使用蜜蜂减少人与大象之间的冲突.故填conflict between people and elephants
82.They flee and warn their fellows of the danger.细节理解题.根据第二段:Working in Kenya,Dr King and her team showed that more than 90% of elephants will flee when they hear the sounds of buzzing bees.Afterwards,they also found that elephants produce a special sound to warn their fellows of the danger.可知在肯尼亚工作时,Dr King 和他的团队发现超过90%的大象当他们听到蜜蜂嗡嗡作响的声音时会逃离.后来,他们还发现,大象产生一个特殊的声音警告危险的家伙.故填They flee and warn their fellows of the danger..
83.the needs of animals and the local economic benefits 细节理解题.根据第三段Dr Lucy King has designed a constructive solution that considers the needs of animals but also the economic benefits to the local communities linked to species preservation,可知Dr King 设计了一个建设性的解决方案,认为动物的需求也是当地社区的经济效益与物种保护.故填the needs of animals and the local economic benefits
84.Elephant species,bee species,weather and honey-loving animals.细节理解题.根据文章最后一段it's a totally different elephant species,the bee species are different,it rains a lot more,we have animals like bears that love honey可知这是一个完全不同的大象物种,与蜜蜂种类不同,还有天气以及可爱的动物.故填Elephant species,bee species,weather and honey-loving animals.
