Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question:<br />
The development of genetically modified (GM) plants and animals had led to a huge global controversy.<br />
Opponents say that GM “Frankenfoods” are a threat to our well-being, and proponents say that the risks are<br />
minimal. There is one aspect of the war over GM that is often overlooked. Anyone who wears a cotton shirt<br />
these days is using a GM crop. Cotton is the only major non-food GM crop at present, but others are<br />
coming.<br />
GM cotton plants that is not food has not stopped the most passionate GM opponents from objecting.<br />
If GM cotton is grown in a field next to fields of non-GM cotton, they argue, then how to keep genes from<br />
being transferred from field to field. This danger, however, is not as compelling to the public as possible<br />
health hazards in food, so there is no great fury over GM cotton.<br />
GM cotton seeds produce higher yields, and they do without the need for pesticides. Planting of GM<br />
Trang 3/5 - Mã đề thi 132<br />
<br />
cotton has increased fivefold since 1997; three-quarter of cotton in America, and over half in China, is now<br />
GM. Farmers like it because it increases their profits.<br />
Other options for non-food GM include new variety of flowers with different colors or scents, tougher<br />
grasses for lawns, and plants designed to soak up pollutants from the soil. The paper industry provides<br />
another example of potential for GM to help produce better and cheaper products. Paper is made from pulp,<br />
and pulp is generally made from trees. Researchers in New Zealand and Chile have been working on insectresistant pines, and a Japanese firm has combined carrot genes with tree genes to make them grow better in<br />
poor soil.<br />
Another interesting case is that of tobacco. It is not food crop, but it is consumed, and GM tobacco<br />
plants with both more and less nicotine have been created. The tobacco plant, however, is an ideal target for<br />
GM, since its genetics are very well understood and it produces a lot of leaves. The value of the drugs that<br />
could be produced by GM tobacco is so high, many farmers could switch from growing tobacco for<br />
cigarettes to growing it for medicine. Since medical cost is rising, consumers would also be happy to use<br />
drugs produced in bulk by GM tobacco.<br />

A. To show that cotton is one of the most popular materials for clothing.<br />
B. To give an example of a common GM product that is not a food.<br />

A. interesting<br />
B. annoying<br />
C. dangerous<br />
D. obvious<br />

A. America<br />
B. Japan<br />
C. Chile<br />
