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 from
27 to 33Mickey 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

the consequences of his discoveries; he is as concerned with the possible misuses of his findings as he is with the
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 it
may 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 emphasize the biologist's role in solving the world's problems
B
To conduct a survey of the biologist's role in society
C

D
To advise biologists to carry out extensive research into genetic engineering
Câu 44:
According to the passage, a modern scientist should be more concerned about _
A
the consequences of his discoveries
B
the development of new ideas
C
his manipulation of genes
D
his basic research
Câu 45:
The pronoun "
they
" in paragraph refers to _
A
discoveries concerning hereditary mechanisms
B
effects of genetic engineering misuse

cases of genetic deficiencies
D
possibilities for genetic deficiencies

A
social and economic deficiencies

environmental pollution
