In a small laboratory 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 crises 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 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 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
30. What does Dr. Mironov think of bioengineering cultured meat?
31. What does Dr. Mironov say about the funding for their research?
32. What does Nicholas Genovese say about a lot of products we eat today?
选项
A、It comes regularly from its donors.
B、It is still far from being sufficient.
C、It has been increased over the years.
D、It has been drastically cut by NASA.
答案
B
解析
短文中提到,在美国,肉类的人工培植是a science in search of funding and demand(一门缺少资金和需求的学科),新国家粮食农业研究所和国家卫生研究院都不会为此提供资金,美国宇航局只提供少量资金,由此可知研究资金还远远不够,故答案为[B]。[B]It is still far from being sufficient既对应短文中提到的it is science in search of funding,也对应won’t fund it…won’t fund it,and NASA funded it only briefly。
