Tiny pieces of gold could be used in the fight against cancer, new research has suggested. Scientists at Edinburgh University have just completed a study which shows the【C1】______metal increased the effectiveness of drugs used to treat lung cancer cells. Minute fragments, known as gold nanoparticles(纳米粒子), were【C2】______in a chemical device by the research team.
While this has not yet been tested on humans, it is hoped such a device could one day be used to reduce side effects of current chemotherapy treatments by【C3】______targeting diseased cells without damaging healthy tissue. Gold is a safe chemical element and has the ability to【C4】______chemical reactions.
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh discovered properties of the metal that allow these catalytic abilities to be accessed in living things without any side effects. The device was shown to be effective after being【C5】______in the brain of a zebrafish, suggesting it can be used in living animals.
The study was carried out in【C6】______with researchers at the University of Zaragoza’s Institute of Nanoscience of Aragon in Spain, with funding coming from Cancer Research UK(CRUK). Dr. Asier, from the University of Edinburgh’s CRUK Edinburgh Centre, said: "We have discovered new【C7】______of gold that were previously unknown and our findings suggest that the metal could be used to【C8】______drugs inside tumours very safely. There is still work to do before we can use this on【C9】______, but this study is a step forward. We hope that a similar device in humans could one day be implanted by surgeons to activate chemotherapy directly in tumours and reduce harmful effects to healthy organs. " The next steps will be to see if this method is【C10】______to use in people, what its long- and short-term side effects are, and if it’s a better way to treat some cancers.
A)accelerate I)precisely
B)cautiously J)previous
C)collaboration K)properties
D)elaboration L)release
E)encased M)relieve
F)implanted N)safe
G)patients O)unsafe
H)precious [br] 【C8】
选项
答案
L
解析
空格位于宾语从句中,空格前的谓语为be used to,因此需要填入动词原形。该句意为“金子可以被用来安全地在肿瘤内部释放药物”,故L)release“释放,排放”为答案。选项中的M)relieve“减轻,缓解(疼痛或不快的感觉)”为干扰项,与上下文语义不符,故排除。
