4. (15.0分) Thousands of infants become infected with the AIDS virus every year.These boys and girls are born to mothers who have HIV, the human Immunodeficiency virus. Infection takes place during pregnancy or from breastfeeding. Recently, scientists identified a protein in breast milk that suppresses the virus, and may even protect babies from becoming infected. Now, experts say the discovery could lead to new ways to protect babies whose mothers are infected with HIV.To prevent infection, doctors give anti-retroviral drugs (抗逆转录病毒药) to both mothers and their babies, that has greatly reduced the number of infections. But experts say that even without anti-AIDS drugs, only a small percentage of babies become infected through breast milk.Sallie Permar is a professor of pediatrics (儿科) and immunology (免疫学) at Duke University Medical Center. She says the protein found in breast milk is called Tenascin-C. It works by blocking the virus from attaching to cells in the baby's body.(单选题 3分) How does Tenascin-C work to protect babies from HIV?A It stops the virus from attaching to the baby's cellsB It kills the HIV virus directly in the mother's bodyC It reduces the amount of breast milk the baby drinksD It increases the baby's ability to produce anti-AIDS drugs<|im_end|>(单选题) How does Tenascin-C work to protect babies from HIV?A It stops the virus from attaching to the baby's cellsB It kills the HIV virus directly in the mother's bodyC It reduces the amount of breast milk the baby drinksD It increases the baby's ability to produce anti-AIDS drugs

题目解答
答案
根据文章,Tenascin-C是一种存在于母乳中的蛋白质,其作用是阻止HIV病毒附着到婴儿体内的细胞上。文章明确指出:“It works by blocking the virus from attaching to cells in the baby's body.” 这表明Tenascin-C通过阻止病毒与婴儿细胞结合来发挥作用。
选项分析:
A. It stops the virus from attaching to the baby's cells.
此选项与文章内容完全一致,正确。
B. It kills the HIV virus directly in the mother's body.
文章未提及Tenascin-C在母体中直接杀灭病毒,排除。
C. It reduces the amount of breast milk the baby drinks.
文章未提及Tenascin-C影响母乳摄入量,排除。
D. It increases the baby's ability to produce anti-AIDS drugs.
文章未提及Tenascin-C增强婴儿产生抗艾滋病药物的能力,排除。
综上,正确答案是A。
答案:A. It stops the virus from attaching to the baby's cells.
解析
本题考查对文章细节的理解,重点是Tenascin-C保护婴儿免受HIV感染的作用机制。
关键信息定位
文章中明确提到:“It works by blocking the virus from attaching to cells in the baby's body.”(它通过阻止病毒附着到婴儿体内的细胞上发挥作用)。
选项分析
- A:“It stops the virus from attaching to the baby's cells.”(它阻止病毒附着到婴儿的细胞上)。此选项与文章内容完全一致,正确。
- B:“It kills the HIV virus directly in the mother's body.”(它直接杀死母体中的HIV病毒)。文章未提及Tenascin-C在母体中直接杀灭病毒,排除。
- C:“It reduces the amount of breast milk the baby drinks.”(它减少婴儿饮用的母乳量)。文章未提及Tenascin-C影响母乳摄入量,排除。
- D:“It increases the baby's ability to produce anti-AIDS drugs.”(它增强婴儿产生抗艾滋病药物的能力)。文章未提及Tenascin-C增强婴儿产生抗艾滋病药物的能力,排除。
