Mickey Mantle was one of the greatest baseball players of all time He played for the New York Yankees in their years of glory From the time Mantle began to play professionally in 1951 to his last year in 1968, baseball was the most popular game in the United States For many people, Mantle symbolized the hope, prosperity, and confidence of America at the time
Mantle was a fast and powerful player, a “switch-hitter” who could bat both right-handed and left-handed He won game after game, one World Series championship after another, for his team He was a wonderful athlete, but this alone cannot explain America’s fascination with him
Perhaps it was because he was a handsome, red-haired country boy, the son of a poor miner from Oklahoma His career, from the lead mines of the West to the heights of success and fame, was a fairy-tale version of the American dream Or perhaps it was because America always loves a “natural”: a person who wins without seeming to try, whose talent appears to come from an inner grace That was Mickey Mantle
But like many celebrities, Mickey Mantle had a private life that was full of problems He played without complaint despite constant pain from injuries He lived to fulfill his father’s dreams and drank to forget his father’s early death
It was a terrible addiction that finally destroyed his body It gave him cirrhosis of the liver and accelerated the advance of liver cancer Even when Mickey Mantle had turned away from his old life and warned young people not to follow his example, the destructive process could not be stopped Despite a liver transplant operation that had all those who loved and admired him hoping for a recovery, Mickey Mantle died of cancer at the age of 63 Câu 36: What is the main idea of the passage?

A played even better B forgot his father’s dream C suffered a lot of pain D led a happier life
Câu 40: Which of the following is mentioned as the main cause of the destruction of Mantle’s body?

(4)Trang 4/4 - Mã đề thi 204 basic research in which he is involved This emerging social and political role of the biologist and all other scientists requires a weighing of values that cannot be done with the accuracy or the objectivity of a laboratory balance As a member of society, it is necessary for a biologist now to redefine his social obligations and his functions, particularly in the realm of making judgments about such ethical problems as man's control of his environment or his manipulation of genes to direct further evolutionary development
As a result of recent discoveries concerning hereditary mechanisms, genetic engineering, by which human traits are made to order, may soon be a reality As desirable as itmay seem to be, such an accomplishment would entail many value judgments Who would decide, for example, which traits should be selected for change? In cases of genetic deficiencies and diseases, the desirability of the change is obvious, but the possibilities for social misuse are so numerous that they may far outweigh the benefits
Probably the greatest biological problem of the future, as it is of the present, will be to find ways to curb environmental pollution without interfering with man's constant effort to improve the quality of his life Many scientists believe that underlying the spectre of pollution is the problem of surplus human population A rise in population necessitates an increase in the operations of modern industry, the waste products of which increase the pollution of air, water, and soil The question of how many people the resources of the Earth can support is one of critical importance
Although the solutions to these and many other problems are yet to be found, they indicate the need for biologists to work with social scientists and other members of society in order to determine the requirements necessary for maintaining a healthy and productive planet Although many of man's present and future problems may seem to be essentially social, political, or economic in nature, they have biological ramifications that could affect the very existence of life itself
Câu 43: What is the author's purpose in this passage?
A To advise biologists to carry out extensive research into genetic engineering B To urge biologists to solve the problem of surplus human population
C To emphasize the biologist's role in solving the world's problems D To conduct a survey of the biologist's role in society
Câu 44: According to the passage, a modern scientist should be more concerned about _ A the development of new ideas
B his manipulation of genes
C the consequences of his discoveries D his basic research
Câu 45: The pronoun "they" in paragraph refers to _ A discoveries concerning hereditary mechanisms
B possibilities for genetic deficiencies C cases of genetic deficiencies
D effects of genetic engineering misuse
Câu 46: What is probably the most important biological problem mentioned in the passage? A environmental pollution B manipulation of genes
C genetic engineering misuse D social and economic deficiencies Câu 47: The word "underlying" in paragraph could best be replaced by _
A causing B noticing C finding D depriving Câu 48: According to the passage, to save our planet, biologists should work _
A accurately and objectively B with other social scientists C on social and political purposes D harder and harder
Câu 49: Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "ramifications" in paragraph 4? A harmful consequences B useful experiments
C effective techniques D latest developments Câu 50: It is implied in the passage that genetic engineering _
A will change all human traits B is no longer desirable
C is the most desirable for life D may us more harm than good -
