【答案】27.C28.D29.B30.A

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了英国一家植物研究所的研究人员发现了一种方法，可以为植物提供

一种基于抗体的防御机制，以抵御一种特定的威胁，这可能会加速作物对任何新出现的病毒或细菌的抗性

的产生。

【27题详解】

词句猜测题。根据画线词下文aproteinfromtheplantpathogen（病原体）tobetargetedtoacamelorother

camelrelatives,purify（heunusuallysmallantibodiesthecamelsproduce,andengineerthecorrespondinggene

sectionforthemintoaplantsownimmunegene（将植物病原体中的一种蛋白质接种到骆驼或其他骆驼亲属，

纯化骆驼产生的异常小的抗体，并将其相应的基因片段转化为植物自身的免疫基因）”可知，要纯化骆驼产

生的异常小的抗体，并将相应的基因片段设计成植物自身的免疫基因，需要把一种来自植物病原体的蛋白

质引入到骆驼或其他骆驼的近亲身上，故画线词意思是“引入”。故选C。

【28题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段uFarmerslosemanybillionsofdollarstoplantdiseaseseachyear,andemerging

的死亡，以拯救植物的其余部分。但植物病原体经常进化并逃离这些受体）”可推知，第二段的主要目的是

揭示为什么植物不能应对不断更新的疾病。故选D。

【29题详解】

细节理解题。根据最后一段“"Theexcitingpartaboutthistechnologyisthatwchavethepotentialofmadc-to-

ord^rresistancegenesandkeepingupwithapathogen,Kaniounsays.（Kamoun说：“这项技术令人兴奋的部

分是，我们有可能定制抗性基因，并跟上病原体的步伐。“）”可知，纳米体可以帮助植物跟上病原体的变

化。故选B。

【30题详解】
