Scientists in UK have grown a living human Aston University
- 1 -
created tiny bunch of cells which act like a mini nervous system.
They believe it could help find a cure for worse mental conditions like
Parkinson’s disease. Professor Michael Coleman is leading the research program. He
explained, are aiming to be able to study the human brain at the most basic level,
using an actual living human cell system. Cells have to be alive and operating
efficiently to enable us to really understand how the brain works.
involves changing cells from a cancer tumour (肿瘤）and making them behave like brain
cells.
Although far from finished, researchers hope the false brain cells will give them
a greater understanding of how real brains work. This, in turn, could significantly
further research into conditions which affect the brain. Neil Hunt, chief leader of
the research group, said, is still very early days, but in the future the research
could lead to a useful tool for looking into dementia (痴呆).
The technique could also provide a way to carry on animal test and is being
supported by the Humane Research Trust (HRT). The scientists predict that over the
next ten years a million people will develop dementia. Professor Coleman believes
their findings could change this. He said，
scientists with a new and highly relational human experimental model to help them
understand the brain better and develop new drugs to control the related disease.
However, the biggest challenge at present is that we are greatly short of fund, which
will slow our research.

阅读理解。
Imagine，one day，getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai
in only a couple of hours，and then，after a full day of work，going back home to
Beijing and having dinner there．
Sounds unusual，doesn't it? But it's not that unrealistic，with the development
of China’s high—speed railway system．And that’s not a11．China has an even greater
high—speed railway plan—to connect the country with Southeast Asia，and eventually
Eastern Europe．
China is negotiating to extend its own high·-speed railway network to up to 17
countries in 1 0 to 15 years，eventually reaching London and Singapore．
China has proposed three such projects．The first would possibly connect Kunming
with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia．Another could start in Urumqi and go through
Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan，and possibly to Germany．The third would start in the
northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe．
If China’s plan for the high-speed railway goes forward，people could zip over
from London to Beijing in under two days．
The new system would still follow China’s high—speed railway standard．And the
trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour，almost as fast as some airplanes．
China’s bullet train(高速客车)，the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou，already
has the World’s fastest average speed．It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three
hours．
Of course，there are some technical challenges to overcome．There are so many
issues that need to be settled，such as safety，rail gauge(轨距)，maintenance of railway
tracks．So，it’s important to pay attention to every detail．
But the key issue is really money．China is already spending hundreds of billions
of yuan on domestic railway expansion．
China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with
capital investment．Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain
development．
It’11 be a win-win project. For other countries，the railway network will

definitely create more opportunities for business，tourism and so on，not to mention
the better communication among those countries．
For China，such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and
bring some much-needed resources，but would also help develop China’s far west．We
foresee that in the coming decades，millions of people will migrate to the western
regions，where the land is empty and resources unused．With high-speed trains，people
will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for a11．And they’11
trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries．
( ) 1. China’s new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because ．
A. China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regions
B. China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways
C. China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries
D. the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation，
business and tourism

( ) 3. Which of the following words best describes the author’s attitude towards
China’s high-speed railway plan?
