Directions: Listen to the passage(s) three times. When the passage is read for the first time, listen for the general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, fill in the blanks numbered from S1 to S7 with the exact words you hear. For blanks numbered from S8 to S10, write down either the exact words you hear or the main points in your own words. When the passage is read for the third time, check your answers.
There are many ways in which human stem cells can be used in basic research and in clinical research.
Studies of human stem cells may (S1)
(1)
information about the complex events that occur during human development. A primary goal of this work is to (S2)
(2)
how stem cells become divided or differentiated. Scientists know that turning genes on and off is (S3)
(3)
to this process. Some of the most serious medical conditions, such as cancer and birth defects, are due to (S4)
(4)
cell division and differentiation. A better understanding of the genetic and molecular controls of these processes may yield information about (S5)
(5)
such diseases arise and suggest new strategies for therapy. A significant barrier (S6) (6)this use and most uses of stem cells is that scientists do not yet fully understand the (S7) (7)that turn specific genes on and off to influence the differentiation of the stem cell.
(S8) (8)that could be used for cell-based therapies. Today, donated organs and tissues are often used to replace ailing or destroyed tissue, but the need for transplantable tissues and organs far outweighs the available supply. (S9)
(9)
to treat diseases including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, spinal cord injury, stroke, burns, heart disease and diabetes.
For example, (S10) (10).
Your answer Correct answer
(1) yeild yield
(2) identify identify
(3) central central
(4) abnormal abnormal
(5) how how
(6) to to
(7) signals signals
(8)
The most important potential application of
human stem cells is perhaps the generation of
cells and tissues
(9)
Stem cells, directed to differentiate into specific
cell types, will offer a source of replacement cells
and tissues
(10)
it may become possible to generate healthy heart
muscle cells in the laboratory and then transplant
those cells into patients with chronic heart
disease
Part III
