Read the following passsage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following question The Great Debate over GM Foods One of the hottest topic in agriculture today is genetically modified (GM) foods. GM foods have been on the market since 1994, when a company called Calgene started selling GM tomatoes. Since then, other GM foods including papaya, corn, and plums to name a few have been developed. The main benefit of GM foods is that they can be a more economical solution than non GM foods. Scientists found a way to modify many plants to make them more resistant to weeds, diseases, and pests. This allows the plants to grow in tougher climates and conditions, which should lead to lower food prices and increase the overall food supply. However, many consumers still have their doubts about GM foods. For one, they feel that by eating GM foods people are messing with nature. Until now, humans have survived on food that was produced without any interference from science. Even though many lab studies show that GM foods are safe in the short term, opponents feel that not enough long-term testing has been done yet. Another major issue in the GM foods debate is its labelling. Current US laws do not require producers to label their foods as GM. This has upset many consumers who feel they have the right to clearly know how the food they are buying is produced. On the other hand, producers are afraid to label their foods as GM because they feel it will result in less product sales, as people may assume that there is something wrong with GM foods. This controversy is not just on the level of consumers and producers. The issue of non GM foods has also become a block to a major free trade agreement between the US and Europe. GM foods are banned throughout most of Europe, while they are quite common throughout the US. Since many American GM food producers would like to sell their foods overseas in Europe, the US is requesting that European nations eliminate laws banning GM foods. However, many European nations are not fully convinced that these products are safe. Question 32. According to the passage, why did scientists invent GM foods? A. To create a new type of dessert B. To make more delicious foods. C. To help the scientists win a prize D. To make plants be stronger Question 33. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. GM foods are more accepted in the US than in Europe. B. Scientists understand the long-term effects of GM foods. C. People in Europe want to import more GM foods. D. GM food is not an important issue between nations. Question 34. What did Calgene do? A. It sold the first GM food. B. It argued against the sales of GM foods. C. It invented the first GM food. D. It discovered the tomato. Question 35. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. Some reasons why people don't like GM foods B. The laws that make GM foods illegal C. The future of GM foods in America D. How some GM foods are grown Question 36. The phrase "messing with” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ___.

From America. More than seventy-five percent of the world’s volcanoes are located in this ring. Scientists are interested in studying the Ring of Fire because they can observe plate tectonics at work there. In 1912, a German scientist, Alfred Wegener, came up withthe first theory of land movement. Wegener said continents are made up of lighter rocks resting on heavier material. Similar to the way large things move while floating on water, Wegener suggested that the positions of the continents were not fixed, but that they moved slightly. Later, scientists discovered most of Wegener’s ideas were right on the mark. They then developed the theory called plate tectonics. According to plate tectonics, the surface of the Earth consists of a number of enormous plates or sections of rock, each about eighty kilometers thick. The plates float and slowly move at speeds between one to ten centimeters every year. That is about the rate your fingernails grow! Within the Ring of Fire, new material for the Earth’s plates is constantly being created as hot liquid rock called magma flows from the center of the Earth up to the ocean floor. All the existing plates on the Earth’s surface have to move slightly to make room for the new material. As plates move both away from and toward each other, they run into each other. When they hit each other, one plate might move under another. This process is called subduction. Subduction frequently causes earthquakes. It may also result in the bottom plate melting due to the extreme temperatures under the top plate. The magma created in this process can rise to the Earth’s surface and come out through volcanoes, as can be seen along the Ring of Fire. Question 39. Which question is NOT answered in the reading? A. How fast do tectonic plates move? B. Where is the Ring of Fire? C. How thick are the plates in tectonic theory? D. What is the most active volcano today? Question 40. What is the main focus of this reading? A. The most active volcanoes found in the Ring of Fire B. How plate tectonics, volcanoes, and earthquakes are related C. The location of the Ring of Fire D. How the plates on the Earth’s surface move in different ways Question 41. What is NOT a result of shifting tectonic plates? A. Volcanoes B. Subduction C. Earthquakes D. Extreme temperatures inside the Earth Question 42. What does “subduction” mean in this reading? A. Erupting liquid rock B. The theory of moving plates C. Movement of a plate under another D. Rocks moving under volcanoes Question 43. According to the reading, which is true about the Ring of Fire? A. The ring was discovered in the 20th century. B. The ring gets bigger each year. C. Most of the volcanoes on Earth are part of the ring. D. All of the volcanoes along the ring are active. Mã đề 101 Page 4/5
