Researchers in France say they have successfully trained ants t sniff(嗅) ut cancer cells. ln lab experiments, the team finds that the insects, including ants, have a better sense f smell and can quickly learn t ntice VOCs(vlatile rganic cmpunds), which are released by cancer cells.
T cnduct their research, the researchers perfrmed tests with 36 ants, smelling cells under a labratry setting. The experts expsed the ants t the smell f a sample f human cancer cells. This smell was then related t a reward f sugar slutin. Then the researchers expsed the ants t tw different smells. One was a new smell and the secnd was the smell f the cancer cells. Once this test was successful, the researchers expsed the ants t different cancer cells. As such, the researchers fund that ants can tell the difference between cancer cells and healthy cells.
This isn’t the first time that researchers have used the animal sense f smell t detect r find cancer cells. “Dgs’ nses are well suited fr medical diagnsis and are used fr the test f cancer,” the researchers explained. Hwever, training them t d s requires several mnths t a year. Having high ptential, ants are able t learn very quickly at lwer cst, and are efficient.
The apprach culd be adapted t a range f ther experiments. Hwever, this research is nly the beginning, and there are still difficulties that must be vercme befre ants are actually used t discver anything in the real wrld. Fr example, it wuld be necessary t list what VOCs each type f cancer has and t see if ants can really be used in the medical field in the first place. Once thse prblems are vercme, the day may cme when ants will be used t detect cancer.
22. What des the new research shw?
A. Ants have the ability t detect cancer cells.
B. Diseased cells grw faster than healthy cells.
C. Ants can detect cancer cells withut training.
D. Ants can be used as a medicine t cure cancer.
23. Why did researchers cnduct the research n ants rather than dgs?
A. Ants are mre intelligent than dgs.
B. Dgs are nt able t detect cancer cells.
C. Training ants culd save time and mney.
D. Ants have a better sense f smell than dgs.
24. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A. Ants will sn be applied in medical field.
B. The research needs t be further develped.
C. The research paves the way fr cancer treatment.
D. The result f the research has been put int practice.
25. What is the best title f this passage?
A. The Ptential f Ants in Sniffing
B. Ants vs Dgs: Finding Cancer Cells
C. Researchers Train Ants t Find Cancer Cells
D. The Challenges f Using Ants t Find Cancer Cells

Researchers in France say they have successfully trained ants t sniff(嗅) ut cancer cells. ln lab experiments, the team finds that the insects, including ants, have a better sense f smell and can quickly learn t ntice VOCs(vlatile rganic cmpunds), which are released by cancer cells.
T cnduct their research, the researchers perfrmed tests with 36 ants, smelling cells under a labratry setting. The experts expsed the ants t the smell f a sample f human cancer cells. This smell was then related t a reward f sugar slutin. Then the researchers expsed the ants t tw different smells. One was a new smell and the secnd was the smell f the cancer cells. Once this test was successful, the researchers expsed the ants t different cancer cells. As such, the researchers fund that ants can tell the difference between cancer cells and healthy cells.
This isn’t the first time that researchers have used the animal sense f smell t detect r find cancer cells. “Dgs’ nses are well suited fr medical diagnsis and are used fr the test f cancer,” the researchers explained. Hwever, training them t d s requires several mnths t a year. Having high ptential, ants are able t learn very quickly at lwer cst, and are efficient.
The apprach culd be adapted t a range f ther experiments. Hwever, this research is nly the beginning, and there are still difficulties that must be vercme befre ants are actually used t discver anything in the real wrld. Fr example, it wuld be necessary t list what VOCs each type f cancer has and t see if ants can really be used in the medical field in the first place. Once thse prblems are vercme, the day may cme when ants will be used t detect cancer.
22. What des the new research shw?
A. Ants have the ability t detect cancer cells.
B. Diseased cells grw faster than healthy cells.
C. Ants can detect cancer cells withut training.
D. Ants can be used as a medicine t cure cancer.
23. Why did researchers cnduct the research n ants rather than dgs?
A. Ants are mre intelligent than dgs.
B. Dgs are nt able t detect cancer cells.
C. Training ants culd save time and mney.
D. Ants have a better sense f smell than dgs.
24. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A. Ants will sn be applied in medical field.
B. The research needs t be further develped.
C. The research paves the way fr cancer treatment.
D. The result f the research has been put int practice.
25. What is the best title f this passage?
