Wind pollination does, of course, require a lot of pollen. Birch and hazel trees can produce 5.5 and 4 million grains per catkin, respectively. There are various adaptations to help as much of the pollen go as far as possible. Most deciduous wind-pollinated trees (which shed their leaves every fall) produce their pollen in the spring while the branches are bare of leaves to reduce the surrounding surfaces that "compete" with the stigmas (the part of the flower that receives the pollen) for pollen. Evergreen conifers, which do not shed their leaves, have less to gain from spring flowering, and, indeed, some flower in the autumn or winter. 8.According to paragraph 3, why do most deciduous wind-pollinated trees produce their pollen in the spring? A To avoid competing with evergreen conifers, which flower in the fall or winter B So that the leaves of the trees receiving the pollen will not prevent the pollen from reaching the trees stigmas C Because they do not have enough energy to produce new leaves and pollen at the same time D In order to take advantage of the windiest time of year 答案B 翻成:所以樹的葉子接收花粉將不會防止花粉直接從樹的花蕊而來 感覺還是跟原文的意思有落差 請問該怎麼解析答案B這個選項呢? -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 140.109.26.45 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/TOEFL_iBT/M.1491898477.A.3E9.html

原本會擋住花粉的葉子現在不會了(因為掉光了)

receiving the pollen是形容trees不是leaves

如此一來,原本要接受花粉的樹的葉子就不再阻擋花粉去接
