问题 What does DNA look like?
Deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA for short, is a molecule composed of two chains that coil around each other to form a double helix carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.

选项 A、It is a single-strand folded onto itself.
B、It is a paired double-strand spirally shaped.
C、It is made up of two unbent strands connected to each other.
D、It is a molecule carrying genetic information.

答案 B

解析 语义的理解与画面构建。本段介绍的是DNA,包括其形状、功能和存在范围。而该题所问的是“What does DNA look like”,即DNA是什么样子的。因此,首先排除选项D,与所问无关。再根据原文与DNA形状有关的陈述,“a molecule composed of two chains that coil around each other to form a double helix”,可知DNA是双链分子,两条链呈螺旋状连接,形成双螺旋结构。选项A将DNA描述为单链结构(single strand),错误。选项C将DNA描述为直链(unbent),错误。因此,本题应选择选项B。
