Lichens may grow on the bark of a tree in a steaming tropical rain forest, on the bricks of big city buildings, on rocks in hot springs, on wind-swept mountaintops, and in the driest desserts. In the arctic, they provide the principal food for caribou, and they are one of the few plants that grow in Antarctica. They are pioneers, appearing in barren rocky areas and starting the formation of soil in which mosses, then ferns, and then other plants can take root.
Lichens are a partnership of two plants — fungi and algae. The lichen body is made up of a network of fungal strands. In the upper layers of these grow groups of algae. The two organisms live together to the benefit of both, a relationship known as symbiosis. The fungi provide support, absorb water, and shelter the tender algae from direct sunlight. The algae carry on photosynthesis and provide the fungi with food. The algae can live independently and are recognizable as a species that grows alone. The fungi, on the other hand, cannot live apart from their partners. They can be placed in known classes of fungi but are unlike any species that lives independently.
So definite are the form, color, and characteristics of these double organisms that for hundreds of years, they were classified as one. More than 15,000 "species" were named. If these organisms are classified as separate species, it is difficult to fit them into the existing system of classification. But if they are classified separately, these species of fungi seem rather strange. Lichens are a splendid example of the difficulties faced by taxonomists in classifying species. [br] Why does the author say that "these species of fungi seem rather strange"?
选项
A、They are larger than typical fungi.
B、Unlike other fungi, they can produce their own food.
C、They exist only as partners of algae.
D、They do not fit into any known class of fungi.
答案
C
解析
细节题型见第二段倒数第二句、第三句:(The algae能独立生存且是公认的能独自生长的物种;而另一方面,The fungi没有同伴却无法生存)及第三段第三句:但是如果将它们分别地分类,这些fungi物种就显得格外奇怪了(因为它们是依赖同伴生存的);因此C为答案。
