Bacteria (细菌) are extremely small living things. While we measure our own sizes in inches or centimeters, bacterial size is measured in microns. One micron is a thousandth of a millimeter: a pinhead is about a millimeter across. Rod-shaped bacteria are usually from two to four microns long, while rounded ones are generally one micron in diameter. Thus, if you enlarged a rounded bacterium a thousand times, it would be just about the size of a pinhead. An adult human magnified by the same amount would be over a mile (1.6 kilometers) tall.
Even with an ordinary microscope, you must look closely to see bacteria. Using a magnification of 100 times, one finds that bacteria are barely visible as tiny rods or dots. One cannot make out anything of their structure. Using special stains, one can see that some bacteria have attached to them wavy-looking "hairs" called flagella. Others have only one flagellum. The flagella rotate, pushing the bacteria through the water. Many bacteria lack flagella and cannot move about by their own power, while others can glide along over surfaces by some little-understood mechanism.
From the bacterial point of view the world is a very different place from what it is to humans.
To a bacterium water is as thick as molasses (糖蜜) is to us. Bacteria are so small that they are influenced by the movements of the chemical molecules around them. Bacteria under the microscope even those with no flagella often bounce about in the water. This is because they collide with the water molecules and are pushed this way and that molecules move so rapidly that within a tenth of a second the molecules around a flagellum have been replaced by new ones. Even bacteria without flagella are thus constantly exposed to a changing environment.
In paragraph 3, sentence 2, the author compares water to molasses in order to introduce which of the following topics?
选项
A、The bacterial content of different liquids.
B、What happens when bacteria are added to molasses.
C、The molecular structures of different chemicals.
D、How difficult it is for bacteria to move through water.
答案
D
解析
本题为细节题。文中提到,水对于细菌,就好像糖蜜对于我们人类那么粘稠。细菌是那么小,它们在水中受到包围着它们的化学分子运动的影响。由此,可以推断出细菌在水中的运动是很困难的。把水比作糖蜜的目的就是为了说明细菌在水中的运动是困难的。
