In October, Medflies (地中海果蝇) were discovered in an area of Los Angeles. California is a big farming state, and this was serious news for farmers. The solution to the problem may seem a little unusual; releasing (释放) millions more of the Medflies, Medflies lay their eggs in over 300 kinds of fruits and vegetables. When the eggs hatch (孵化), they can ruin these fruits and vegetables. The problem is that it can be hard to know that the Medflies are there until it’s too late. That’s because the fruits
and vegetables still look normal even after the eggs are laid inside. So the damaged fruits and vegetables can be sent to other places. allowing the Medflies to spread.
Three Medflies were discovered in a Los Angeles neighborhood called Leimert Park in October. The government set up a large quarantine (隔离) area, which means that no produce can be moved out of that area. That may seen extreme, since only three Medflies were found. but experts believe there are probably more out there.
Luckily, California has developed a program to control Medflies, and it has been working well for 30 years, The plan is to use planes to drop millions of male Medflies over the area. That may sound like a bad idea. but it’s actually a good way to make sure that Medfly numbers go down. Those Medflies are treated so that they can’t help produce new Medflies. This means that even though they can mate with female Medflies, the eggs produced will never grow or hatch.
The government says that the number of infestations (times when Medflies are found) has been cut by over 90%. To deal with the problem in Leimert Park. the government will be dropping two airplane loads of such Medflies every week.
7. What can we learn about Medflies from the second paragraph
A. They are difficult to identify. B. They spread quickly worldwide.
C. They benefit the growth of fruits. D. They lay 300 kinds of eggs each time.
8. Why did the government set up a large quarantine area
A. To make Medflies lay more eggs. B. To stop Medflies from spreading.
C. To provide large space for Medflies. D. To further study the habits of Medflies.
9. What is the government’s attitude toward the program
A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Satisfied. D. Indifferent.
10. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Fight Medflies with ... Medflies B. Medflies Threaten Farmers Worldwide
C. The Number of Medflies Is Under Control D. A New Discovery Has Been Made About Medflies
