The world’s most complex biological computer, made from a group of engineered cells, could one da

y

be implanted into the body to detect diseases and deliver treatments.

In an early research in 2012, Martin Fussenegger at ETH Zurish in Switzerland and his colleagues

engineered two kidney cells to become a biological circuit capable of simple mathematics. One of the cells

was able to calculate addition: the presence or absence of each of two chemicals would switch on a reaction

3

inside the cell that would make it shine different colours. The other cell worked in the same way but could

subtract

amounts. This kind of biological circuit resembles a simple logic circuit in a computer. In theory,

it could be used to indicate the presence of an infectious substance while in fact it failed.

Most biological reactions in the body aren’t that simple, though. They rarely rely on “one input and

one output” –

instead, multiple inputs lead to different outputs. For instance, a high level of calcium in the

body in the presence of a specific hormone may suggest one disease, but a high level of calcium along with

another hormone might indicate a completely different condition.

To be more practical, biological computers need to be able to perform more complex mathematics. However,

it is hard to pack multiple calculations into a single cell. To get around this, Fussenegger and his team have

engineered a multicellular system, in which different cells each perform a separate calculation and pass on

the results to each other.

The system has nine cells, each containing a biochemical reaction that responds to three chemical

inputs

–

similar to an AND, NOT and OR system in a traditional electronic circuit. These cells coordinate

their activities by releasing chemicals that pass from one cell to the other. Together, they form a fully

biological circuit that can respond to multiple inputs.

“Although it is not at a stage yet where we can test on animals, we believe it is the most complex

biological computer ever assembled,” says Fussenegger. “This work addresses one of the major limitations

in synthetic biology (

合成生物学

)

–

a lack of programmable devices,” says ?ngel Goni

-Moreno, a

synthetic biologist at Newcastle University, UK. He says that Fussenegger’s multicellular approach enables

you to programme the circuit and achieve different calculations just by connecting the nine cells in

different configurations (

设置

).

In the future, a biological computer like this could be used to monitor more complex medical

conditions. For example, it could respond to a rise in calcium, a drop in a hormone and an increase in a

biomarker, which together would signal the presence of a specific type of cancer, help diagnose it and alert

the user to seek appropriate treatment.

28

. The underlined word “subtract” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. add up

B. take away

C. split up

D. give away

29

. What was the progress made in Fussenegger’s early research?

A. A biological circuit was implanted in one of kidney cells.

B. The indication of infectious substances became a reality.

4

C. Engineered kidney cells could switch on biological reactions.

D. Certain cells were made capable of performing mathematics.

30

. What has made Fussenegger’s current multicellular system so special?

A. It has all the functions of a traditional electronic circuit.

B. It is programmable and able to perform different mathematics.

C. It has successfully packed multiple calculations into a single cell.

D. It has been tested through a series of experiments on animals.

31. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Smart cells indicating various cancers

B. Electronic circuit made from multi-cells

C. Programmable cells implanted in human bodies

D. Biological computer made from human cells

“Two centuries ago, Lewis and Clark left St. Louis to explore the new lands acquired in the Louisiana

Purcha

se,” George W. Bush said, announcing his desire for a program to send men and women to Mars.

They

made

that

journey

in

the

spirit

of

discovery.

America

has

ventured

forth

into

space

for

the

same

reasons.”

Yet there are vital differences between Lewis and C

lark’s expedition and a Mars mission. First, they

were

headed

to

a

place

where

hundreds

of

thousands

of

people

were

already

living.

Second,

they

were

certain to discover places and things of immediate value to the new nation. Third, their venture cost next to

nothing by today’s standards. A Mars mission may be the single most expensive non

-wartime undertaking

in U.S. history.

Appealing

as

the

thought

of

travel

to

Mars

is,

it

does

not

mean

the

journey

makes

sense,

even

considering the human calling to explore. And Mars as a destination for people makes absolutely no sense

with current technology.

Present systems for getting from Earth’s surface to low

-Earth orbit are so fantastically expensive that

merely launching the 1,000 tons or so of spacecraft and equipment a Mars mission would require could be

accomplished only by cutting health-care benefits, education spending, or other important programs

—

or

by raising taxes. Absent some remarkable discovery, astronauts, geologists, and biologists once on Mars

5

could do little more than analyze rocks and feel awestruck(

敬畏的

) staring into the sky of another world.

Yet rocks can be analyzed by automated probes without risk to human life, and at a tiny fraction of the cost

of sending people.

It is interesting to note that when President Bush unveiled his proposal, he listed these recent major

achievements

of

space

exploration

pictures

of

evidence

of

water

on

Mars,

discovery

of

more

than

100

planets

outside

our

solar

system,

and

study

of

the

soil

of

Mars.

All

these

accomplishments

came

from

automated probes or automated space telescopes. Bush’s proposal, which calls for reprogramming some of

NASA’s

present

budget

into

the

Mars

effort,

might

actually

lead

to

a

reduction

in

such

unmanned

science

—

the one aspect of space explorati

on that’s working really well.

Rather than spend hundreds of billions of dollars to hurl tons toward Mars using current technology,

why

not

take

a

decade

or

two

or

however

much

time

is

required

researching

new

launch

systems

and

advanced

propulsion

(

推进力

)?

lf

new

launch

systems

could

put

weight

into

orbit

affordably,

and

advanced propulsion could speed up that long, slow transit to Mars, the dream of stepping onto the red

planet might become reality. Mars will still be there when the technology is ready.

32

. What do Lewis and Clark’s expedition and a Mars mission have in common?

A. Instant value.

B. Human inhabitance.

C. Venture cost.

D. Exploring spirit.

33

. Bush’s proposal is challenged for the following reasons except that

.

A. its expenditure is too huge for the government to afford.

B. American people’s well

-being will suffer a lot if it is implemented

C. great achievements have already been made in Mars exploration in America

D. unmanned Mars exploration sounds more practical and economical for the moment

34. Which cannot be concluded from the passage?

A. Going to Mars using current technology is quite unrealistic.

B. A Mars mission will in turn promote the development of unmanned program.

C. Bush’s proposal is based on thre

e recent great achievements of space exploration

D. The achievements in space exploration show how well unmanned science has developed.

35. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Risky as it is, a Mars mission helps to retain Americas position as a technological leader.

B. A Mars mission is so costly that it may lead to an economic disaster in America.
