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 this term “genetic engineering” with increasing frequency. 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 of 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 placed 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. These sound like positive things, don’t they? After all, many people
say, the technology exists to improve our lives.
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. The other 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 all the improvements
that can be made in plants raised for food, they say. Because of genetic engineering, plants that produce
more fruits and vegetables and resist disease can be grown. In a world 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.

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.
Alligators and crocodiles are both native to America, and they both belong to the group of animals called
crocodilians. They also look similar, and many people might even think they are the same animal. There are
several differences that can be used to tell them apart.
American alligators are much more common than American crocodiles. Because they hate the cold,
alligators live in the southeastern part of the country usually in freshwater lakes and swamps. Their skin is
dark with bright stripes and spots of yellow. They eat almost anything they can catch, including fish, birds,
and, occasionally people! Until 1970, it was legal to hunt them, but too many were killed for their skins. Now
there are strict controls on hunting, and alligators are again numerous in many areas. There are also strict
controls on the hunting of deer and other animals.
American crocodiles are a bit different. They are even more sensitive to cold, so they live only in the
tropical climate of southern Florida. Most crocodiles prefer the saltwater of coastal areas. They are very shy,
so people do not often see them in the wild. Their skin is grayish-green or brown, and their heads are longer
and more triangle-shaped than that of an alligator. They eat only fish and other water animals. Crocodiles are
listed as an endangered species, so they are also protected by the US law.
