Millions of bees have died in South Carolina during aerial insect spraying operations that were carried out to combat the Zika virus. (3) The insect spraying over the weekend left more than 2 million bees dead on the spot in Dorchester County South Carolina, where four travel-related cases of Zika disease have been confirmed in the area. Most of the deaths came from flower town bee farm，a company in Summerville that sells bees and honey products. Juanita Stanley who owns the company said (4) the farm looks like it’s been destroyed. The farm lost about 2.5 million bees. Dorchester County officials apologized for the accidental mass killing of bees. Dorchester County is aware that some beekeepers in the area that was sprayed on Sunday lost their bee colonies. County Manager Jason Ward said in a statement: I’m not pleased that so many bees were killed.
   Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.
   3. Why was spraying operations carried out in Dorchester County？
   4. What does the news report say about flower town bee farm？
选项 A、It apologized to its customers.
B、It was forced to kill its bees.
C、It lost a huge stock of bees.
D、It lost 2.5 million dollars.
答案C
解析 浏览四个选项，从选项中的apologized，kill，lost等词可推测，此题与喷洒行动造成的影响有关。题干问的是关于花镇蜜蜂农场，新闻中说了什么。新闻后半部分提到蜜蜂农场看起来已经被摧毁了，损失了大约250万只蜜蜂，故答案为C。新闻最后部分提到，多尔切斯特县的官员为意外杀死大量的蜜蜂而道歉，A项(它向客户道歉)和B项(它被迫杀死蜜蜂)与新闻内容不符，故排除。新闻后半部分说的是花镇农场损失了约250万只蜜蜂，并不是250万美元，D项(它损失了250万美元)与新闻内容不符，故排除。
