Thousands of plant species get by【C2】______ photosynthesizing (光合作用), and over 4:00 of these species seem to live by pilfering sugars from an underground【C3】______ of fungi(真菌). But【C4】______ in a handful of these plants has this modus operandi been traced to a relatively obscure fungus. To find out how【C5】______ are【C6】 ______ , mycologist Martin Bidartondo of the University of California at Berkeley and his team looked in their roots. What they found were【C7】______ of a common fungus, so【C8】______ that it is found in nearly 70 percent of all plants. The presence of ’this common fungus in these plants not only【C9】______  at how they survive, says Bidartondo, but also suggests that many ordinary plants might prosper from a little looting, too.

The fungi help green plants absorb minerals through their roots, and【C15】______ , the plants normally【C16】______ the fungi with sugars, or carbon. With a number of plants sharing the same fungal web, it was perhaps【C17】______  that a few cheaters —dubbed epiparasites-- would evolve to beat the system.【C18】______ , these plants reversed the flow of carbons【C19】______ it into their roots from the fungi【C20】______   releasing it as "payment".

选项 A、popular
B、distinct
C、ordinary
D、widespread
答案 D
解析 “popular”意思是“流行的；受欢迎的”；“distinct”意思是“清晰的；清楚的”；“ordinary”意思是“普通的；寻常的”；而只有“widespread”意思为“普遍的”，符合该句的意思“……如此普遍以至于在70%多的植物上发现了它”。因此选D。
