阅读理解：新闻报道 Spelling Bee Scientists in Germany say they have used new technology to create see-through human organs (器官). They say the technology could lead to production of three-dimensional (3D) body parts for use in transplant (移植) operations. The scientists are with Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich. They said they developed a process that uses a substance to make see- through organs, such as the brain and kidneys. The German researchers use lasers (激光) to obtain a picture of the organ to be replaced. The laser light helps them see every single cell inside the blood vessels (血管中的细胞). The researchers use this information to print out the structure of the whole organ. For this, they need special equipment. They use a 3D printer to produce the structure--one that has height, width and length. The researchers then load the printer with stem cells, which can become any kind of cell in the body. The stem cells act as “ink” in the printer. They are put into the correct position, making the organ fully operational. The leader of the study, Ali Erturk, described the new technology as a major development for 3D printing in the medical field.” Previously 3D-printed organs lacked detailed cellular structures because they were based on pictures from computer tomography or MRI machines,” he explained. “We can see where every single cell is, and we can actually replicate it exactly the same,” Erturk said. “I believe we are much closer to a real human organ for the first time now,” he added. Erturk and his team plan to start by creating bioprinted organs. They hope to develop a human kidney within 5-6 years. The researchers will first test to see if animals can live with bioprinted organs and could start tests within five to ten years, he predicted. 1．Why do the scientists need to obtain an image of the organ to be replaced? A．To copy a new one. B．To cure some diseases. C．To observe cells in it. D．To study its structure. 2．What is the function of stem cells in making hum
