D
The longer food is kept, the more likely it is to attract insects. To solve this problem, scientists have been working with different smells to find one strong enough to keep insects from going near food. One possibility would be to use plants with strong smells, like garlic or pine, to keep insects away. Unluckily, however, using these smells might keep some people away too!
A more hopeful repellent is citronella oil, which comes from a type of lemongrass. Scientists did an experiment using this oil with an insect—the red flour beetle. Scientists sprayed (喷洒) cardboard boxes with citronella oil and noticed that the beetles did not enter those boxes. They were much more interested in boxes that were not sprayed.
One problem with using citronella oil as a repellent, however, is that it does not last long. After a few months it loses its smell, and insects no longer find it unpleasant. Scientists hope to improve citronella oil so that its smell keeps strong for a longer time. It will also be necessary to make sure that the oil is not harmful to people, as scientists are still not sure if it is safe to use around food.

答案：61. C
62. D
63. C
64. C
65. B
62. D
63. C
64. C
65. B
解析：
61. 本题为主旨大意题。文章围绕“防止昆虫靠近食物”展开，先后介绍了大蒜、松树气味以及香茅油等驱虫方式，核心是讲述驱虫的方法，因此选C。
62. 本题为词义指代题。根据前文“scientists have been working with different smells”可知，one指代的是a smell，科学家想要找到一种足够浓烈的气味来阻止昆虫靠近食物，故选D。
63. 本题为细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Unluckily, however, using these smells might keep some people away too!”可知，大蒜和松树的气味可能会让一些人感到不适，即对人来说是不愉快的，故选C。
64. 本题为词义猜测题。结合第二段实验内容，香茅油能阻止红粉甲虫靠近，可知repellent指的是用于驱赶昆虫的物品，故选C。
65. 本题为细节理解题。文中提到大蒜、松树、香茅油均可驱赶昆虫，而红粉甲虫对面粉感兴趣，说明面粉对昆虫来说并非不愉快的事物，故选B。

A)
66. 考查名词。“竹子”对应的英文是bamboo，此处表示熊猫食用的竹子，为不可数名词，故填bamboo。
