The Red Cross is a well-known organisation that has centres in countries all over the world It had its begingings in a small Italian town in 1859 A fierce battle was taking place then and forty thousand people were wounded The medical services of the army were inadequate The situation horrrified a Swiss businessman who then wrote a book depicting the dreadful situation His book was the impetus for the setting up of charity organisations.

Until recently, the ‘science of the future’ was supposed to be electronics and artificial intelligence Today it
seems more and more likely that the next breakthrough in technology will be brought about through a
combination of those two sciences with organic chemistry and genetic engineering This science is the combination of biotechnology.
Trang 5Organic chemistry enables us to produce marvelous synthetic materials However, it is still difficult to manufacture anything that has the capacity of wool to conserve heat and also to absorb moisture Nothing that we have been able to produce so far comes anywhere near the combination of strength, lightness, and flexibility that we find in the bodies of ordinary insects Nevertheless, scientists in the laboratory have already succeeded in 'growing' a material that has many of the characteristics of human skin The next step
may well be 'biotech heart and eyes’ which can replace diseased organs in human beings These will not be
rejected by the body, as in the case with organs from humans.
The application of biotechnology to energy production seems even more promising In 1996, the famous science-fiction writer Arthur C Clarke, many of whose previous predictions have come true, said that we may soon be able to develop remarkably cheap and renewable sources of energy Some of these power sources will be biological Clarke and others have warned us repeatedly that sooner or later we will have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power sources Coal, oil and gas are indeed convenient However,
using them also means creating dangerously high levels of pollution It will be impossible to meet the
growing demand for energy without increasing that pollution to catastrophic levels unless we develop power sources that are both cheaper and cleaner.
Câu 43: According to the text, the science of the future is likely to be?
A Nuclear technology B Electronics C Genetic engineering D Biotechnology

A They are so cheap that people waste them.
B They are very bad for the world around us.
C They are no longer as easy to use as they once were.
D They are too expensive for poorer people in many parts of the world.
Câu 46: According to the text, it may soon be possible
A to make something as good as human skin.
B to take an organ from one human and give it to another human.
C t o make useful substitutes for human hearts and eyes.
D to cure certain diseases that damage human organs.
Câu 47: In 1996, Arthur C Clarke predicted
A that we may not be able to meet future demand for energy
B that using oil, gas, and coal would lead to very high levels of pollution
C newer and better ways of using oil, gas, and coal
D new and better ways of heating and lighting homes, offices, and factories
Câu 48: The word “to meet” is synonymous with
Câu 49: Which word below can be the best substitute for “breakthrough”?

A almost as good as wool
B not as good as natural materials
