After all, many people say, the technology exists to improve our lives But there are plenty of people around who oppose genetic engineering Why? Two specific objections come to mind One is that the balance of nature might be upset Suppose, for example, that scientists are able to genetically engineer certain plants so that insects will not eat them This will protect the plants, but the insects will be deprived of a food supply — and other animals that depend on those insects for food will lose their food supply, too The other objection is a moral question Is it acceptable or right for us to change the makeup of living things? Supporters of genetic engineering say the benefits outweigh the dangers Look at all the improvements that can be made in plants raised for food, they say Because of genetic engineering, plants that produce more fruits and vegetables and resist disease can be grown In a world where more and more food will be needed in the future, this is a benefit The medical advances provided by genetic engineering, say the supporters, are even more impressive Consider cancer, for example If genetic engineering can provide a Trang 1/4 - Mã đề thi 126 way to cure or prevent this disease, shouldn’t it be used? And if genetic engineering can be used to kill the virus that causes AIDS, shouldn’t it be permitted?

A It increases people’s age B It improves fat in the meat C It reduces the number of cells D It changes genes’ parameters Question 9: Genetic engineering is said to be aimed at A establishing an organism’s characteristics B placing new genes into plants C changing genes of plants and animals D improving an organism in some way Question 10: The word "one" in the passage refers to A mind B specific objection C example D balance of nature Question 11: It is stated in paragraph that A insects protect the plants from extinction B people should be concerned about wild animals C scientists control the number of insects D ecosystems should be counterbalanced Question 12: The word "outweigh" in the passage is closest in meaning to _ A be less expensive B weigh heavier than C be of greater importance D have the same value Question 13: Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the supporters of genetic engineering?
