答案:the hive
原文定位:Right. The mite then hitches a ride back to the hive where the bee lives with the rest of the colony;So the mite actually sneaks inside the hive on top of the bee's back
同义替换:「moves from the bee to」↔「hitches a ride back to」
答案:the honey
原文定位:That's right. And once it's there, it dives into a honeycomb cell and heads straight for the bottom. That's where the queen bee's eggs are;And the honey;Yes, and the mite buries itself deep inside it;Ah, I see. The mite doesn't eat the honey though, does it;Well, no. That's the interesting part. It uses the honey to cover its scent, so it won't be detected
同义替换:「travels to」↔「buries itself deep inside it」,「on a new host」↔「hitches a ride back to the hive on another bee」
答案:the honey
原文定位:Well, no. That's the interesting part. It uses the honey to cover its scent, so it won't be detected
同义替换:「hide its smell」↔「cover its scent」
答案:the blood
原文定位:And presumably, it lives off the blood of the bees. That's right. It feeds on the bee larva that hatches out from the egg
同义替换:「feeds on」↔「lives off」
答案:a virus
原文定位:Well, it leaves them debilitated, and it also infects them with a virus that spreads amongst the colony
同义替换:「left weakened」↔「leaves them debilitated」
答案:spreads weeds
原文定位:Okay, then. Let's start with the European bumblebee. There's been a lot of talk recently about bringing them into this country;Yes, but the problem is that the bumblebee has a tendency to carry weeds to nearby farmland
同义替换:「spreads」↔「carry」
答案:not much is known about it
原文定位:You know, there's an Australian native bee, the blue banded bee, which is good at pollinating without carrying weeds. It could be useful to farmers;The blue banded bee? I've never heard of that one;That's one of the challenges we face because there hasn't been a lot of research on it as yet
同义替换:「not much is known about it」↔「hasn't been a lot of research on it as yet」
答案:too aggressive
原文定位:The Africanized bee is a case in point. It was introduced into South America because it was a good honey producer. But what they didn't realize was that it attacks anything that moves
同义替换:「too aggressive」↔「attacks anything that moves」
答案:needs a warm climate
原文定位:The main drawback with the stingless bees is that they're quite sensitive to temperature. They just won't fly if it gets below eighteen degrees, so they aren't really suited to southern parts of Australia
同义替换:「needs a warm climate」↔「aren't really suited to southern parts of」
答案:numbers are too few to help farmers
原文定位:Of course, the only drawback is that we can't bring in very many at a time, so we still don't have enough of them here to really make much difference to our crop yields
同义替换:「numbers are too few」↔「don't have enough of them」,「to help farmers」↔「make much difference to our crop yields」
