         Surgeons in Spain have successfully carried out the world's first organ transplant (移植) using new stem
    cell technology. Some people are calling it the greatest medical breakthrough so far this century.
         But what are stem cells? As we know, most cells in our bodies are designed____ -for example, a liver cell
    develops to work in the liver and cannot become a heart cell. But stem cells are different. They are very young
    and in the laboratory scientists can grow them into different types of cells.
         Claudia Castillo needed a new windpipe (气管) after getting a serious disease. Scientists from the University
    of Bristol took a donor windpipe, from someone who had recently died. They used strong chemicals to remove
    the donor's cells, leaving a tissue scaffold (组 织支架). This was refilled with cells from Ms Castillo's windpipe and stem cells from her bone. After four days the cells had grown sufficiently for the windpipe to be
    transplanted into Ms Castillo.
         Currently, transplant patients have to take drugs for the rest of their lives to prevent their bodies rejecting
    the new organs. These drugs can have bad side-effects, and do not always prevent rejec tion. But by using
    Ms Castillo's own cells, doctors were able to trick her body into thinking the new windpipe was her own organ. Five months on, Claudia Castillo is in perfect health.
         This ground-breaking procedure could be used in other trans- plant operations in the future. Scientists also
    believe stem cells might be used to treat Parkinson's disease, heart disease, stroke, ar thritis, burns and so on.
         However, stem cell research is extremely controversial. The most effective stem cells do not come from
    adults but from embryos (胚胎) created in laboratories which are just a few days old. Many people have
    religious or ethical objections to growing embryos, even if they can be used to cure diseases.
    1. What's the best title for the passage? ( Please answer within 8 words. )
    ______________________________________________________________________________________
    2. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words. ( Please an swer within 8 words. )
    ______________________________________________________________________________________
    3. Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the fol lowing one? However, Ms
          Castillo's body mistook the new windpipe for her own because doctors put her own cells in it.
    ______________________________________________________________________________________
    4. What do you think of the stem cell transplant? Why? ( Please answer within 30 words. )
    ______________________________________________________________________________________
    5. Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 into Chinese.

         One day, when we had been riding in the burning sun for five hours, we came to a narrow, shaky bridge
    where a railway crossed a stagnant (发臭的) pond. For 30 feet there was nothing but the widely-spaced
    wooden sleepers under our wheels, and nothing to stop us from falling into the steaming bot below if we
    overbalanced. Right under the bridge lay the body of a dead cow. I watched Mat as hc approached the bridge
    and rode straight over, without even slowing down. I stopped.
         "What's up?" he shouted, from the other side.
         "I'm not riding over that thing. If I fail, I'll be there with that cow!"
         "There's nothing to it. I just did it, didn't I?"
         "You're stronger and taller. My feet can't touch the ground. You do it for me!"
         Mat said strength didn't come into it and rode off,leaving me staring down into the sickly brown soup. He
    would be waiting for me around the next corner, but I knew he would oive me at least ar hour before coming
    to help. The sun burned my face; sweat ran off my forehead into my eyes and stuck my shirt to my body;
    mosquitoes flew into my mouth when I breathed. To stand still in this place was to kill myself; anyway, to sit
    around waiting for Mat to help was more than my feminist pride could take. I rode back along the track a f'ew
    hundred yards to get a good run-up (助跑) and over I went. Mat was right: all the obstacles were in my mind.
    1. The author stopped near the bridge because _____.
    [     ]
    A. she was tired and wanted to have a rest
    B. she found a dead cow under the bridge
    C. she was afraid of failing off the bridge
    D. she didn't know how to cross the bridge
    2. Why did Mat refuse to help the author?
    [     ]
    A. He wanted to finish the journey as soon as possible.
    B. He felt she should overcome her fear by herself.
    C. He didn't believe she was really afraid.
    D. He knew she was too proud to accept his help.
    3. What does the underlined part "sickly brown soup" in the last paragraph ref'er to?
    [     ]
    A. The body of a dead cow.
    B. The mud on the wheels.
    C. The dirty water in the pond.
    D. The author's food for the journey.
    4. According to the last paragraph,the author seems to believe that _____.
    [     ]
    A. nothing is difficult to the man who will try
    B. a friend in need is a friend indeed
    C. you can't make something out of nothing
