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 from 36 to 42

Long ago prehistoric man began to domesticate a number of wild plants and animals for his own use

This not only provided more abundant food but also allowed more people to live on a smaller plot of ground We

tend to forget that all of our present-day pets, livestock, and food plants were taken from the wild and developed into the forms we know today

As centuries passed and human cultures evolved and blossomed, humans began to organise their knowledge of nature into the broad field of natural history One aspect of early natural history concerned the use

of plants for drugs and medicine The early herbalists sometimes overworked their imaginations in this respect For example, it was widely believed that a plant or part of a plant that resembles an internal organ would cure ailments of that organ Thus, an extract made from a heart-shaped leaf might be prescribed for a person suffering from heart problems

Nevertheless, the overall contributions of these early observers provided the rudiments of our present

knowledge of drugs and their uses

Question 36 What does this passage mainly discuss?

A Cures from plants B The beginning of natural history

C Prehistoric man D Early plants and animals

Question 37 Domestication of plants and animals probably occurred because of _

A need for more readily available food B lack of wild animals and plants

C early mans power as a hunter D the desire of prehistoric man to be nomadic

C Someone who uses plants in medicine D A farmer

Question 40 Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A The shape of a plant is indicative of its ability to cure ailments of a similarly shaped organ

B There is little relation between a cure for illness and the physical shape of a plant

C The work of early herbalists has nothing to do with present day medicine

D Early herbalists were unimaginative

Question 41 The word “rudiments” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _

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 from 43 to 50

The development of genetically modified (GM) plants and animals had led to a huge global controversy Opponents say that GM “Frankenfoods” are a threat to our well-being, and proponents say that the risks are

minimal There is one aspect of the war over GM that is often overlooked Anyone who wears a cotton shirt

these days is using a GM crop Cotton is the only major non-food GM crop at present, but others are coming

GM cotton plants that is not food has not stopped the most passionate GM opponents from objecting If

GM cotton is grown in a field next to fields of non-GM cotton, they argue, then how to keep genes from being

transferred from field to field This danger, however, is not as compelling to the public as possible health hazards

in food, so there is no great fury over GM cotton

GM cotton seeds produce higher yields, and they do without the need for pesticides Planting of GM cotton has increased fivefold since 1997; three-quarter of cotton in America, and over half in China, is now GM Farmers like it because it increases their profits

Other options for non-food GM include new variety of flowers with different colors or scents, tougher grasses for lawns, and plants designed to soak up pollutants from the soil The paper industry provides another example of potential for GM to help produce better and cheaper products Paper is made from pulp, and pulp is generally made from trees Researchers in New Zealand and Chile have been working on insect-resistant pines, and a Japanese firm has combined carrot genes with tree genes to make them grow better in poor soil

Another interesting case is that of tobacco It is not food crop, but it is consumed, and GM tobacco plants with both more and less nicotine have been created The tobacco plant, however, is an ideal target for GM, since its genetics are very well understood and it produces a lot of leaves The value of the drugs that could be produced by GM tobacco is so high, many farmers could switch from growing tobacco for cigarettes to growing

it for medicine Since medical cost is rising, consumers would also be happy to use drugs produced in bulk by

GM tobacco
