The study of genetics has given rise to a profitable new industry called biotechnology. As the name【C1】______, it combines biology and modern technology through such【C2】______as genetic engineering. Some of the new biotech companies, as they are called, 【C3】______in agriculture and are working enthusiastically to patent(取得专利)seeds that give a high yield(产量), that【C4】______disease, drought and frost, and that reduce the need for dangerous chemicals. 【C5】______such goals could be achieved, it would be most beneficial. But some have raised【C6】______about genetically engineered crops.
"In nature, genetic diversity(多样性)is created within certain limits," says the book Genetic Engineering, Food and Our Environment. " A rose can be crossed(杂交)with a different kind of rose, but a rose will【C7】______cross with a potato... " Genetic engineering, on the other hand, usually involves taking genes from one species and inserting them into another in an attempt to【C8】______a desired property or character. This could mean, 【C9】______, selecting a gene which leads to the production of a chemical with antifreeze properties from an arctic fish, and joining it into a potato or strawberry to make it frost-resistant. It is now possible for plants to be engineered with genes【C10】______from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals or even humans. 【C11】______, then, biotechnology allows humans to break the genetic walls that【C12】______species.
Like the green revolution, 【C13】______some call the gene revolution【C14】______to the problem of genetic uniformity(千篇一律)— some say even more so【C15】______geneticists can employ techniques such【C16】______cloning and organ culture, processes that produce perfectly 【C17】______copies, or clones. Concerns about the biodiversity, therefore, remain. Genetically altered plants, however, raise new【C18】______, such as the effects that they may have on us and the environment. "We are flying blindly into a new【C19】______of agricultural biotechnology with high hopes, few constraints, and little idea of the potential【C20】______," said science writer Jeremy Rifkin.
【C17】
选项
A、resembling
B、alike
C、similar
D、identical
答案
D
解析
形容词词义辨析。由perfectly和copies判定此处填入的是形容词。resembling“像”,指看起来像,动词resemble的变形,不是形容词,排除;alike常作表语,表示在外表、性格或品质等方面几乎相同、相似的、相同的;similar意为“相似的,类似的”,常与介词to连用;identical指同一个人或物时,表示“同一的”,可以与same互换。在描写两个或两个以上的人或物时,表示“完全一样的”。根据句意,produce与copies是“完全一样的”。故答案为D。

我们要共同珍惜和爱护地球家园。我们可以看到工业化、城市化、全球化在给人类带来无尽财富的同时,也付出了资源枯竭、环境污染、生态破坏的巨大代价。地球不仅是我们从父辈那里继承来的,更是从我们的后代那里借来的,因此我们必须尊重自然,注重节约能源资源和保护生态环境。
