Read the following passage about Growing new tissues for aging bodies and mark the
letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the
following questions from 23 to 30.
Regenerative medicine is a promising healthcare field today that continues to advance rapidly. It
focuses on repairing damaged tissues through cellular therapies and tissue engineering developed by
researchers worldwide. Scientists are making significant progress growing tissues from stem cells,
which can become different cell types when properly stimulated. These remarkable advances offer
genuine hope for millions of patients with age-related conditions previously considered untreatable
by conventional medical approaches.
The process begins with carefully collecting stem cells from embryonic tissues, adult tissues, or
through innovative cellular reprogramming techniques. These specialized cells grow in sophisticated
laboratories that precisely mimic natural body conditions. Skilled researchers use specific growth
factors and biocompatible scaffolds to guide cells into becoming functional tissues with appropriate
structures. The ultimate goal is creating viable tissues for successful transplantation without immune
rejection, which remains a significant challenge for medical professionals in this evolving field.
Regenerative medicine faces several substantial obstacles despite its tremendous potential.
Ethical issues regarding stem cell sources have caused intense debates among scientists,
policymakers, and religious organizations globally. The prohibitively high research costs significantly
limit treatment accessibility for average patients. Regulatory frameworks differ dramatically across
countries, creating inconsistent approval processes that hinder progress. However, dedicated
researchers firmly believe these challenging barriers can be overcome through continuous innovation
and interdisciplinary collaboration among medical specialties.
The potential impact on aging populations could be truly revolutionary in coming
decades. As global demographics shift toward older populations, demand for effective treatments for
age-related conditions will inevitably rise. Debilitating diseases like heart disease, diabetes,
Parkinson's, and arthritis might eventually be treated by replacing damaged tissues with custom lab-
grown alternatives. This transformative approach could fundamentally change healthcare from
merely managing chronic conditions to potentially curing them, substantially extending both lifespan
and health span—the valuable period of life spent in good health without significant disease.
Question 23: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a challenge
facing regenerative medicine?
A. Technical limitations in creating complex organ systems B. Ethical issues regarding stem cell

Read the following passage about the Access to Nature and Its Measurable Health
Benefits and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer
to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
Spending time in nature is good for our health. Many studies show that being in parks, forests, or
near water makes people feel better. When we walk in green spaces, our stress levels go down. Our
blood pressure also becomes lower. Getting outdoors regularly is truly worth its weight in gold for
our overall wellbeing. Even looking at pictures of nature can help us feel calmer. Doctors now
sometimes tell patients to spend time outside as part of their treatment. Research indicates these
benefits occur across all age groups worldwide.
Physical health improves when we have access to nature. [I] People who live near parks often
exercise more. [II] They walk, run, or ride bikes on paths and trails. Getting sunshine helps our bodies
make vitamin D, which keeps our bones strong. [III] Children who play outside regularly are less likely
to become overweight and may have better eyesight. [IV] Natural surroundings also strengthen our
immune systems against common illnesses.
Mental health benefits from nature are clear too. Time in natural settings can reduce feelings of
anxiety and depression. Students who study with a view of trees or plants can focus better. Office
workers with plants nearby report feeling happier at work. After difficult life events, people often find
comfort in quiet natural places. The sounds of birds singing or water flowing create a peaceful feeling
that helps the mind rest. These experiences stimulate production of feel-good hormones in our
brains.
Scientists continue to discover new ways that nature helps us. Hospital patients who can see
trees from their windows often recover faster than those who cannot. Elderly people who
garden regularly tend to live longer. Communities with more green spaces have lower crime rates in
many cases. As our world becomes more digital, the healing power of nature becomes even more
important. Making parks and natural areas available to everyone should be a priority for healthy
communities. Even short nature breaks can counteract negative effects of technology use.
Question 31: The phrase "worth its weight in gold" in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by
__________.
A. breaks down B. pays off C. looks up D. falls through
Question 32: The word "their" in paragraph 1 refers to __________
