C
Tilapia (罗非鱼) skin is rich in collagen (胶原蛋白), a protein that helps build and repair tissues. Because of this, tilapia skin has become popular in medicine. Researchers have used it for various treatments, including helping burn victims and fixing problems related to the stomach and heart.
Inspired by colleagues in other medical fields, Mirza Melo, an eye doctor for animals in Brazil, decided to try using tilapia skin to treat eye problems in dogs. She focused on eye problems like corneal ulcers and perforations, which are common in dogs with short noses.
“These dogs have eyes sticking out from their faces,” she says. “So they get injured often. ”
Normally, doctors treat these eye injuries by placing a piece of horse placenta (胎盘) over the damaged area to help it recover. But in 2019, Melo tried using tilapia skin instead. She successfully treated a Shih Tzu (a species of dog) with a severe eye injury.
Brazil’s Burn Support &. Research Institute and the Federal University of Ceará, which started the Tilapia Skin Project to treat burns, supported her work. With their help, Melo developed a special membrane (膜) called the cellular dermal matrix (ADM), made from pure collagen taken from tilapia skin.
Collagen is known to help cells grow and repair tissues. Tilapia skin has a high and consistent quality of collagen throughout the fish’s life, while the quality of horse placental collagen can vary depending on the horse’s age and weight.
So far, Melo has treated over 400 dogs using tilapia skin. The dogs showed no pain or infection after surgery and healed quickly with minimal scarring. Melo is now planning to use this technique on cats and is even discussing how to adapt it for treating human eyes, which are very sensitive and difficult to treat.

答案： C
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了巴西的一位动物眼科医生Mirza Melo受到其他医学领域同仁的启发，尝试使用罗非鱼皮来治疗犬类眼疾，并详细介绍了罗非鱼皮中的胶原蛋白在治疗中的应用及其优势。
28.B [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Tilapia (罗非鱼) skin is rich in collagen (胶原蛋白), a protein that helps build and repair tissues. Because of this, tilapia skin has become popular in medicine. (罗非鱼皮富含胶原蛋白，这是一种有助于生成和修复组织的蛋白质。正因如此，罗非鱼皮在医学领域日益受到青睐。)”可知，罗非鱼皮富含胶原蛋白，这种蛋白质有助于生成和修复组织，所以罗非鱼皮在医学领域受到欢迎。故选B。]
29.A [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She focused on eye problems like corneal ulcers and perforations, which are common in dogs with short noses. ‘These dogs have eyes sticking out from their faces,’ she says. ‘So they get injured often.’ (她主要关注角膜溃疡和穿孔等眼部问题，这些问题在短鼻犬中较为常见。‘这些狗的眼睛凸出于面部，’她说，‘所以它们经常受伤。’)”可知，短鼻犬的眼睛凸出于面部，这样的眼睛位置导致它们经常受伤。故选A。]
30.D [推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Tilapia skin has a high and consistent quality of collagen throughout the fish's life, while the quality of horse placental collagen can vary depending on the horse's age and weight. (罗非鱼在其一生中，鱼皮中的胶原蛋白质量始终保持在较高水平且相对稳定，而马胎盘中胶原蛋白的质量则会因马的年龄和体重而异。)”可知，因为马胎盘中胶原蛋白的质量受马的年龄和体重等因素影响，这意味着马胎盘中胶原蛋白的质量不稳定，可能并非在任何阶段都能稳定获取到符合要求的马胎盘胶原蛋白。故选D。]
31.D [推理判断题。根据最后一段“So far, Melo has treated over 400 dogs using tilapia skin. The dogs showed no pain or infection after surgery and healed quickly with minimal scarring. Melo is now planning to use this technique on cats and is even discussing how to adapt it for treating human eyes, which are very sensitive and difficult to treat. (到目前为止，Melo已经用罗非鱼皮治疗了400多只狗。术后，这些狗没有表现出疼痛或感染症状，并且愈合迅速，疤痕极小。Melo现在计划将这种技术应用于猫，甚至正在探讨如何将其改进后用于治疗极其敏感且治疗难度大的人类眼部疾病。)”可知，最后一段指出Melo已经用罗非鱼皮治疗了400多只狗，且效果良好，还计划将该技术应用于猫，甚至探讨用于治疗人类眼部疾病，这一系列内容都在围绕罗非鱼皮胶原蛋白的应用展开。故选D。]
