of bees among their flowers,but the whirrof robots,too.Scientists have managed to turn an unassuming drone（无人机）into aremote-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 for the reproduction of 90%of flowering plants and onethird of human fbod crops.Chief among those are bees-but many bee populations in theUnited States have been in sharp decline in recent decades.Thus,the decline of bees isn*tjust worrisome because it could damage ecosystems,but also because it could disruptagriculture 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 makefree-flying robot insects that can rely on their own power source without being attached to awire.Its very tough work,“said senior author Eijiro Miyako,a chemist at the NationalInstitute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology.His particular contribution to thefield involves a gel,one hed considered a mistake 10 years before and stuck in a storagecabinet（储物柜）When it was rediscovered a decade later,it hadnt dried up or degraded atall.I was so surprised because it still had high viscosity,“Miyako said.第2页 共7 9页The chemist noticed that when dropped,the gel absorbed an impressive amount of dustfrom the floor.Miyako realized this material could be very useful for picking up pollen(花粉).He and his colleagues chose a drone and attached horsehairs to its smooth surface tocopy a bees fuzzy body.They coated those horsehairs in the gel,and then controlled thedrones over lilies,where they would pick up the pollen from one flower and then deposit thepollen at another one,thus fertilizing it.The scientists looked at the hairs under a scanning electron microscope and counted upthe pollen grains attached to the surface and found that the drones whose horsehairs had beencoated with the gel had about 10 times more pollen than those that had not been coated withthe gel.Miyako does not think such drones would replace bees altogether,but could simply helpbees 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 efficient,as wellas 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 t hat.A.bees disrupt both agriculture and economyB.scientists have invented self-powered robot。
