Elephants can no longer maintain themselves with the small amounts of food they find in forest areas and parks. They come into the fields abutting their nature reserves and eat the crops. Dozens of elephants are getting wiped out by farmers every year. One solution that has been proposed is electric fencing but that is extremely expensive and the electricity itself can kill the elephant and every other animal. A much better idea has been put forward.
Elephants are frightened of bees. Bees enter and attack their sensitive trunks inside, causing a pain that elephants never forget. Generations of elephants have learned to associate bees with pain and they even run away when they hear the sound of the bees. Beehive fences were invented in 2002 when scientists from the Save the Elephants discovered that elephants avoided trees with beehives. University of Oxford zoologist Lucy King designed the fence and it was tried out in 2008 in Kenya.
Supported by Save the Elephants, University of Oxford, and Disney's Animal Kingdom, scientific studies concerning the theme by Lucy King have led to the establishment of a project called The Elephants and Bees Project, which teaches farmers how to build beehive fencing near fields to prevent elephants entering. More than ten African countries have now followed suit.
The bees pollinate（授粉）farmers' crops and the nearby plants, providing an ecological and economic boost to the surrounding area. Elephants perform essential services like digging waterholes in dry river beds, spreading hundreds of fruit tree species with their dung which also feeds dozens of insects and small animal species, and making forest paths that act as firebreaks.
And even more exciting, the raw honey is sold by the farmers to markets all over the world. Beehive fences are the first fences that have been invented to make the farmers more money than what it costs to maintain the fence.
Elephants could bring in a lot of eco-tourism money. Every year, Africa has calculated that each elephant brings in nearly $ 23,000 in tourism.
All this helps the ecology of the region and the additional income of beehives gives farmers even more motive to keep the elephants alive.
32. What does the underlined word "abutting" in paragraph 1 mean
A. Different from. B. Far from. C. Similar to. D. Next to.
33. How did scientists come up with the idea for beehive fences
A. By observation. B. From experts.
C. From books. D. By experiments.
34. What is the author's attitude towards beehive fences
A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Unclear. D. Intolerant.
35. What is the best title of the text
A. The bees and the function of the elephants
B. Measures to save elephants from extinction
C. An advantageous solution to save elephants
D. The history of an organization to save elephants
