In a small liboratory at the Medical University of South Carolina, Dr. Vladimir Mironov has been working for a decade to grow meat. A developmental biologist and tissue engineer, Dr. Mironov, is one of only a few scientists worldwide involved in bioengineering cultured meat.
It’s a product he believes could help solve future global food crisis resulting from shrinking amounts of land available for growing meat the old-fashioned way.
’’Growth of cultured meat is also under way in the Netherlands’’, Mironov told Reuters in an interview,’’ but in the United States, it is science in search of funding and demand. ’’
The new National Institute of Food and Agriculture won’t fund it, the National Institutes of Health won’t fund it, and the NASA funded it only briefly, Mironov said.
’’It’s classic disruptive technology,’’ Mironov said. ’’Bringing any new technology on the market, on average, costs $1 billion. We don’t even have $1 million. ’’
Director of the Advanced Tissue Biofabrication Center in the Department of Regenerative Medicine and Cell Biology at the medical university, Mironov now primarily conducts research on tissue engineering, or growing, of human organs.
’’There’s an unpleasant factor when people find out meat is grown in a lab. They don’t like to associate technology with food,’’ said Nicholas Genovese, a visiting scholar in cancer cell biology.
’’But there are a lot of products that we eat today that are considered natural that are produced in a similar manner,’’ Genovese said.
Questions 13 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
13. What does Dr. Mironov think of bioengineering cultured meat?
14. What does Dr. Mironov say about the funding for their research?
15. What does Nicholas Genovese say about a lot of products we eat today?
选项
A、It has been drastically cut by NASA.
B、It comes regularly from its donors.
C、It has been increased over the years.
D、It is still far from being sufficient.
答案
D
解析
根据选项中的 donors, sufficient, drastically cut 判断,问题可能和钱有关。Dr. Mironov 说,任何新技术的上市,平均花费 10 亿美元,而他们甚至连 100 万都没有,这说明他们的研究经费远远不足。
