42、 cooling the grain. But the damage insects cause can be further limited by making them even more susceptible to cold, says a Canadian researcher.Insect pests die if they freeze, but many have the ability to become “supercool“, remaining alive even when the temperature drops to - 10. However, Paul Fi
43、elds of the Agriculture Canada Research Station in Winnipeg has discovered that the ability of these insects to supercool can be seriously affected by “ice-nucleating-active bacteria“. When the bacteria are present, the insects freeze and die at a higher temperature than normal.Ice-nucleating-active
44、 bacteria are found naturally on most plant leaves. They are also grown commercially for use in cloud seeding and in making artificial snow.Fields added these bacteria to wheat which was stored at a temperature of - 10 and contained the rusty grain beetle. He found that when the bacteria accounted f
45、or only 10 parts per million of the grain, the beetles supercooling point rose from - 11.3 to - 7.1, so more died. At concentrations of 100 ppm or 1000 ppm, the bacteria increased the supercooling point to as high as -6.3, which resulted in more than 75 percent of the beetles dying.Fields also appli
46、ed the bacteria to two other species of grain beetle, Sitophilus granarius and Oryzaephilus surinamensis, keeping them at - 10. He found that more of these beetles also died. First, though, he gradually acclimatized some of the insects to cold, to simulate the increase in tolerance to cold which the
47、y normally develop as winter approaches. Fields found that the insects that had been acclimatized were less affected by cold than the beetles that had not been acclimatized, but that more of them still died at - 10.Fields says that the technique of using ice-nucleating-active bacteria leaves no noxi
48、ous chemical residues and poses little risk to the people who apply the treatment. It is also effective against insects which have become resistant to pesticides.82 Which of the following statements about ice-nucleating-active bacteria is true?（A）They may cool the grain to - 10.（B） They can weaken t
49、he beetles resistance to coldness.（C） They can be grown on most plant leaves.（D）They are used only in biological researches.83 Fields found that when the bacteria accounted for 100 parts per million of the grain, the beetles supercooling point _.（A）rose by 4（B） dropped by 4（C） rose by 5（D）dropped by
