C.we can use human vaccines to prevent chimpanzees from getting AIDS virus

参考答案

正确答案:D
解析:该题问:由于黑猩猩与人类在基因方面很相似,这样会发生什么情况? 本题的前提是“由于黑猩猩与人类在基因方面大多相似”,A项说黑猩猩如果感染病毒,也会像人类一样患艾滋病。这不符合事实,因为文中说the virus,which does not appear to harm the chimps。B项说如果人类感染SIV病毒而不是HIV-I病毒就不会得病。这不对,因为SIV在人体内会转化为HIV-I,最后使人得病。第三段最后一句Once transmitted to humans,the re- searchers believe the virus mutated into HIV-I就证实了这点。C项说我们能用人的疫苗来防止黑猩猩的艾滋病,这是错的,因为首先人们还未开发出可以使人类免得艾滋病的疫苗,另外,黑猩猩本身不会得艾滋病,也就用不上疫苗。D项说根据黑猩猩的免疫机能进行艾滋病毒疫苗的开发是可能成功的。这符合该发现的重大意义。
