通读全文可知本文第一段是本文的主旨：讲的是ascientificfact：Microscopicorganismsareparalyzingfishwithunknowntoxinsandtheneatingawayattheirflesh.Theymightbemakingpeoplesicktoo.因此整体讲的是Microscopicorganisms,B为答案。(第一段讲的是：听上去像一篇科幻小说，但研究人员说这是一个科学事实：一种绰号为“藻类杀手”的微观生物用一种不知名的(生物)毒素麻痹鱼类，然后食用它们的肉。它们也可能会使人类得病。)

2.

第一段中提到thefishkiller有toxins，但没提它使用何种toxins，排除选项A；第二段中提到thefishkiller于1988年在大学被发现，但没提及是谁发现的，排除选项B；选项D在文中没有提及；因此C为答案(在第三段第二句中谈到thefishkiller向水中、空气中释放神经毒素，麻痹了鱼类的神经系统，使得鱼类钻到水面呼吸；最终鱼类窒息而死；然后它就附着于鱼身食其肉)。

8.
