问题     Mycorrhizal fungi infect more plants than do any other fungi and are necessary for many plants to thrive, but they have escaped widespread investigation until recently for two reasons. First, the symbiotic association is so well-balanced that the roots of host plants show no damage even when densely infected. Second, the fungi cannot as yet be cultivated in the absence of a living root. De spite these difficulties, there has been important new work that suggests that this symbiotic association can be harnessed to achieve more economical use of costly super phosphate fertilizer and to permit better exploitation of cheaper, less soluble rock phosphate, Mycorrhizal benefits are not limited to improved phosphate uptake in host plants. In legumes, mycorrhzal inoculation has increased nitrogen fixation beyond levels achieved by adding phosphate fertilizer alone. Certain symbiotic associations also increase the host plant’ s resistance to harmful root fungi. Whether this resistance results from exclusion of harmful fungi through competition for sites, from metabolic change involving antibiotic production, or from increased vigor is undetermined.
The level of information in the passage above is suited to the needs of all of the following people except ______.
选项 A、an official of a research foundation who identifies research projects for potential funding
B、a state official whose position requires her to alert farmers about possible innovations in farming
C、a researcher whose job is to identify potentially profitable areas for research and product development
D、a botanist Conducting experiments to determine the relationship between degree of mycorrhizal infection and expected uptake of phosphate
答案B
解析 本题问的是这篇文章的信息水平不是用来满足哪类人的需要的。本文写的很专业化，用了很多生物学术语，学术水平较高，所以它应是写给那些本领域的专业人士的。答案B说的是写给需要督促农民就耕作方面的革新警惕的官员，官员并不需要具备如此深的专业知识去指导农民，所以B是正确答案。
