A scientist can no longer ignore<br /> the consequences of his discoveries; he is as concerned with the possible misuses of his findings as he is with the<br /> basic research in which he is involved. This emerging social and political role of the biologist and all other<br /> scientists requires a weighing of values that cannot be done with the accuracy or the objectivity of a laboratory<br /> balance. As a member of society, it is necessary for a biologist now to redefine his social obligations and his<br /> functions, particularly in the realm of making judgments about such ethical problems as man's control of his<br /> environment or his manipulation of genes to direct further evolutionary development.<br /> As a result of recent discoveries concerning hereditary mechanisms, genetic engineering, by which human<br /> traits are made to order, may soon be a reality. As desirable as it may seem to be, such an accomplishment would<br /> entail many value judgments. Who would decide, for example, which traits should be selected for change? In<br /> cases of genetic deficiencies and diseases, the desirability of the change is obvious, but the possibilities for social<br /> misuse are so numerous that they may far outweigh the benefits.<br /> Probably the greatest biological problem of the future, as it is of the present, will be to find ways to curb<br /> environmental pollution without interfering with man's constant effort to improve the quality of his life. Many<br /> scientists believe that underlying the spectre of pollution is the problem of surplus human population. A rise in<br /> population necessitates an increase in the operations of modern industry, the waste products of which increase the<br /> pollution of air, water, and soil. The question of how many people the resources of the Earth can support is one of<br /> critical importance.<br /> Although the solutions to these and many other problems are yet to be found, they do indicate the need for<br /> biologists to work with social scientists and other members of society in order to determine the requirements<br /> necessary for maintaining a healthy and productive planet. Although many of man's present and future problems<br /> may seem to be essentially social, political, or economic in nature, they have biological ramifications that could<br /> affect the very existence of life itself.<br /> Câu 29: What is the author's purpose in this passage?<br /> Trang 2/4 - Mã đề thi 212<br /> <br /> A.

He played for the New York Yankees in<br /> their years of glory. From the time Mantle began to play professionally in 1951 to his last year in 1968, baseball<br /> was the most popular game in the United States. For many people, Mantle symbolized the hope, prosperity, and<br /> confidence of America at the time.<br /> Mantle was a fast and powerful player, a “switch-hitter” who could bat both right-handed and left-handed. He<br /> won game after game, one World Series championship after another, for his team. He was a wonderful athlete, but<br /> this alone cannot explain America’s fascination with him.<br /> Perhaps it was because he was a handsome, red-haired country boy, the son of a poor miner from Oklahoma.<br /> His career, from the lead mines of the West to the heights of success and fame, was a fairy-tale version of the<br /> American dream. Or perhaps it was because America always loves a “natural”: a person who wins without<br /> seeming to try, whose talent appears to come from an inner grace. That was Mickey Mantle.<br /> But like many celebrities, Mickey Mantle had a private life that was full of problems. He played without<br /> complaint despite constant pain from injuries. He lived to fulfill his father’s dreams and drank to forget his<br /> father’s early death.<br /> It was a terrible addiction that finally destroyed his body. It gave him cirrhosis of the liver and accelerated the<br /> advance of liver cancer. Even when Mickey Mantle had turned away from his old life and warned young people<br /> not to follow his example, the destructive process could not be stopped. Despite a liver transplant operation that<br /> had all those who loved and admired him hoping for a recovery, Mickey Mantle died of cancer at the age of 63.<br /> Câu 44: What is the main idea of the passage?<br /> A. Mickey Mantle’s as the greatest baseball player of all time<br /> B. Mickey Mantle’s success and private life full of problems<br /> C. Mickey Mantle and the history of baseball<br /> D. Mickey Mantle and his career as a baseball player<br /> Câu 45: According to the passage, Mantle could _______.<br /> A. hit the ball to score from a long distance<br /> B. bat better with his left hand than with his right hand<br /> C. hit with the bat on either side of his body<br /> D. give the most powerful hit in his team<br /> Câu 46: The word “this” in paragraph 2 refers to _______.<br /> A. Mantle’s being a “switch–hitter”<br /> B. “switch-hitter”, a fast and powerful player<br /> C. Mantle’s being fascinated by many people<br /> D. Mantle’s being a wonderful athlete<br /> Câu 47: We can see from the passage that after his father’s death, Mantle _______.<br /> A. played even better<br /> B. forgot his father’s dream<br /> C. suffered a lot of pain<br /> D. led a happier life<br /> Câu 48: Which of the following is mentioned as the main cause of the destruction of Mantle’s body?<br /> A. his loneliness<br /> B. his way of life<br /> C. his liver transplant operation<br /> D. his own dream<br /> Câu 49: The word “accelerated” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _______.<br /> A. delayed<br /> B. worsened<br /> C. bettered<br /> D. quickened<br /> Câu 50: It can be inferred from the passage that for most Americans _______.<br /> A. success in Mantle’s career was difficult to believe<br /> B. success in Mantle’s career was unnatural<br /> C.
