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 One question that is being debated these days is whether or not genetic engineering is a good thing. We hear the term "genetic engineering" with increasing frequency these days. For those readers who may not be sure of its meaning, some definitions follow. When we speak of genes, we are referring to chemical substances in the cells id all-living things that establish an organism's characteristics. Genetic engineering is the changing of certain genes, usually to improve an organism in some way. In recent years, for example, certain genes have been replaced in tomato plants to make tomatoes taste better and keep them fresh in supermarkets for a longer time. Cows have been treated with a growth hormone that makes dairy cattle give more milk and reduces the amount of fat in the meat of beef cattle. 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. A second 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 the improvements that can be made in plants raised for food, they say. Because of genetic engineering, plants can be grown that produce more fruits and vegetables and resist disease. In a word 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. Câu 3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the supporters of genetic engineering?

A. It will mean breakthrough in medicine. B. It has more advantages than weak points. C. It can be control and stopped at any moment. D. It will help to achieve record harvests. Câu 4. The word "outweigh" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to______.

A. people should be concerned about wild animals. B. scientists control the number of insects C. insects protect plants from extinction D. ecosystems should be counter balanced Câu 6. Genetic engineering is said to be aimed at_______

A. changing genes of plants and animals B. placing new genes into plants …
