Scientists have discovered a powerful antibiotic in the blood stream of giant pandas that can destroy bacteria. The Chinese researchers discovered the【C1】________known as cathelicidin-AM, after【C2】________the panda’s DNA It’s thought that the antibiotic is【C3】________by the bear’s immune system in order to protect them from infections.
The scientists found that cathelicidin-AM killed bacteria in less than an hour【C4】________other antibiotics took more than six hours. They now want to develop the substance as a new drug to fight superbugs.
The【C5】________bears, of which there are just 1,600 in the wild, have become a symbol for conservation—and now there could be a new reason to try and protect them.【C6】________, scientists will not need to rely on the animal’s unreliable breeding ability to【C7】________the new antibiotic, as they have been able to make it artificially in the lab by decoding the genes to produce a small molecule known as a peptide.
Dr Xiuwen Yan, who led the research at the Life Sciences College of Nanjing Agricultural University in China told the Daily Telegraph: "It showed potential antimicrobial activities against wide【C8】________of microorganisms including bacteria, both standard and drug-resistant【C9】________. Under the pressure of increasing microorganisms【C10】________drug resistance against conventional antibiotics, there is【C11】________need to develop new type of antimicrobial agents. Gene-encoded antibiotics play an important role in immune system against【C12】________microorganisms. They cause much less drug resistance than conventional antibiotics."

选项
A、drop
B、prevent
C、strengthen
D、fasten
答案
C
解析
上文提到熊猫成为了自然保护的象征,强力抗生素的发现使得保护大熊猫的理由更充分。本句为结尾句,说明该研究对保护大熊猫可能产生的意义。C项strengthens有“加强”之意,表明新发现则将有望加强保护濒危大熊猫的力度。与第三段第一句呼应。A项drop、B项prevent分别表示“终止”、“防止”,没有加强或促进之意,也无法和上文呼应。D项fasten“加固”一般与绳子,带子或门窗搭配,无法与case连用。
