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 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? Opponents of genetic engineering say it should be stopped, or at least limited Proponents of genetic engineering say it should be promoted and expanded The debate goes on Question 36: What is TRUE about genetic engineering, according to paragraph 1? 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 37: 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 38: The word "one" in the passage refers to A mind B specific objection C example D balance of nature Trang 3/4 - Mã đề thi 237 Question 39: 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 40: The word "outweigh" in the passage is closest in meaning to _ A be less expensive B weigh heavier than C have the same value D be of greater importance Question 41: Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the supporters of genetic engineering? A It can be controlled and stopped any moment B It has more advantages than weak points C It will help to achieve record harvest D It will mean breakthrough in medicine Question 42: All of the following statements are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT _ A certain genes can make some vegetables more delicious B genetic engineering could help sick people C it’s harmful to interfere in animal life D genetic engineering will save plants and insects from extinction Question 43: Which of the following is the most appropriate title for the passage? A Genetic engineering: Forward of Backward? B Genetic engineering: Superfoods C People can manage genetic engineering D Can genetic engineering be harmful to environment? Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions Aspirin’s origins go back at least as early as 1758 In that year, Englishman Edward Stone noticed a distinctive bitter flavor in the bark of the willow tree To Stone, this particular bark seemed to have much in common with “Peruvian Bark”, which had been used medicinally since the 1640s to bring down fevers and to treat malaria Stone decided to test the effectiveness of the willow bark He obtained some, pulverized it into tiny pieces, and conducted experiments on its properties His tests demonstrated that this pulverized willow bark was effective both in reducing high temperatures and in relieving aches and pains In 1763, Stone presented his findings to the British Royal Society Several decades later, further studies on the medicinal value of the willow bark were being conducted by two Italian scientists These chemists, Brugnatelli and Fontana, determined that the active chemical that was responsible for the medicinal characteristics in the willow bark was the chemical salicin, which is the active ingredient of today’s aspirin The name “aspirin” is the trade name of the drug based on the chemical salicin, properly known as acetylsalicylic acid The trade name “aspirin” was invented for the drug in the 1890s by the Bayer Drug Company in Germany The first bottles of aspirin actually went on sale to the public just prior to the turn of the century, in 1899 Question 44: According to the passage, aspirin originated _ A sometime after 1758 B no later than 1758 C no earlier than 1978 D definitely sometime in 1758 Question 45: The pronoun “it” in the first passage refers to _ A willow bark B malaria C the British Royal Society D effectiveness Question 46: The word “properties” in the first paragraph could best be replaced by _ A characteristics B body C materials D ownership Question 47: What did the willow bark look like after Stone prepared it for his experiments?

A They added a chemical to the pillow bark B They conducted studies on the willow bark C They were not from Italy D They were medical doctors Question 50: The word “turn” in the last paragraph could best be replaced by _ A spin B corner C reversal D change THE END - Trang 4/4 - Mã đề thi 237 ...
