3.This meansthe presence of BTN3A3inabird fluvirus maybeastrongsignal thatit couldcause a wider outbreak in people,they said.(免疫变种)Identifying BTN3A3resistant variantswhen theyfirst appearin birdsmight help prevent humaninfections,said DrRute MariaPinto,the firstauthor ofthe study.Now,when wefind casesof bird flu,we canbasicallyexamine sickbirds andfind outwhether thevirus canovercome theBTN3A3gene,simply bylooking atits orderanddetermining ifthis virusis likelyto infecthumans Jshe said.“If thevirus canin factovercome BTN3A3,then strictermeasurementsshould beput inplace toprevent spreading.”The papercomes aftera newtype ofH5N1bird fluvirus,which transmitseasily amongwild birds,has causeddestruction in animals globally.There have been concernsthat theincreased spreadoffers moreopportunities forthevirus(哺乳动物)to infectpeople,especially asmore andmore mammalshavebeen infected.And ProfMassimo Palmarini,aco-author ofthe reporttold theBBC thatjust over50percent ofvirus samplesfrom birdsand sevencases inpeople wereresistantto BTN3A

8.Why isit importantto identifyBTN3A3A.Because thegene blocksbird flu from infectinghumans.B.Because thegene canprevent bird flufrombreaking out.C.Because thegene oftendoes harmto peopleslungs andbreath tracts.D.Because thegene canforecast theoutbreaks ofbird fluviruses in humans.
9.What canbe inferredfromthe study inparagraph2A.H7N9could bewidely spreadfrom peopleto people.B.Genetic mutationsare causedby theblock ofBTN3A
3.C.People whooften catchseasonalfluvirus lackBTN3A
3.D.Human fluviruses dogreater harmto peoplethan bird fluviruses.
10.What isthe mainidea ofparagraph3A.The wayto examinethevirus.B.The significanceof identifyingBTN3A
3.C.The measurementstopreventvirus spreading.D.The approachesto preventinghuman infections.
11.What isthe attitudeoftheauthor toH5N1A.He feelsworried aboutit.B.He thinksnothing ofit.C.He ispositive aboutit.D.He doesntconcern it.【答案】

11.A【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文文章介绍了一种名为的抗病毒基因(通常存在于人的肺部和呼吸道中)已经BTN3A3被发现,它可以阻止大多数禽流感病毒传播给人类,这有助于科学家预测哪些禽流感病毒可能在人类之间爆发【题详解】8细节理解题根据第一段()“An anti-viral genecalled BTN3A3often foundin peopleslungs andbreath tracts,whichblocks mostbird flufrom jumpingto people,has beenidentified,helping scientistspredict whichbirdfluviruses could.(一种名为的抗病毒基因(通常存在于人的肺部和呼吸道中)已经被发现,cause outbreaksinhumansBTN3A3它可以阻止大多数禽流感病毒传播给人类,这有助于科学家预测哪些禽流感病毒可能会在人类中爆发)”可知,重要的原因是因为这种基因可以预测禽流感病毒在人类中的爆发故选项BTN3A3D【题详解】9推理判断题根据第二段“The studyalso foundthatsomeofthebirdfluviruses whichhave occasionallyinfected people,(变异)such asH7N9,also havegenetic mutationswhich meanstheycanbypasstheblockingeffectsofBTN3A
