单项选择题
Nacre is a substance that is ______
A.mechanically manufactured
B.the result of laboratory testing
C.organically secreted by the mollusk
D.present in the chemical composition of freshwater pounds
答案
参考答案:C
解析:[分析] 推断题型。 文中第三句(Whether introduced accidentally or intentionally,the pearl-making process is the same:the mollusk coats the irritant with a substance called nacre.)说明无论是天然珍珠还是人工养殖的珍珠,它们的形成过程是一样的:贝类用一种被称之为珍珠质的物质将刺激性的杂物包裹住。由此推断出珍珠质nacre是贝类the mollusk滋生分泌出的,所以选项C正确。
