 Genetic modification of foods is not a new practice. It has been practiced for thousands of years 
under the name of "selective breeding". Animals and plants were chosen because they had traits that 
humans found useful. Some animals were larger and stronger than others, or they yielded more food, or 
they had some other trait that humans valued. Therefore, they were bred because of those traits. 
Individuals with those traits were brought together and allowed to breed in the hope that their offspring 
would have the same traits in greater measure. 
 Much the same thing was done with plants. To produce bigger or sweeter fruit, or grow more grain 
per unit of land, strains of plants were combined and recombined to produce hybrids, or crossbreeds that 
had the desired traits in the right combinations. All the while, however, biologists wondered: is there a 
more direct and versatile way to change the traits of plants and animals? Could we rewrite, so to speak, 
the heredity of organisms to make them serve our needs better? 
 In the 20th century, genetic modification made such changes possible at last. Now, it was possible 
to alter the genetic code without using the slow and uncertain process of selective breeding. It even 
became possible to blend plants and animals genetically: to insert animal genes into plants, for example, 
in order to give the plants a certain trait they ordinarily would lack, such as resistance to freezing. The 
result was a tremendous potential to change the very nature of biology. 
Question 33: What is the passage mainly about? 
 A. The arguments against genetic modification 
 B. The benefits brought about by genetic modification
 C. The reasons behind selective breeding of plants
 D. The development of genetic modification 
Question 34: The word "them" in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
 A. organisms B. traits C. animals D. plants 
Question 35: The word "blend" in paragraph 3 mostly means ______.
 A. combine B. collect C. gather D. carry
Question 36:According to the passage, selective breeding ______.
 A. is slower and uncertain than genetic modification
 B. works much better on plants than on animals
 C. helps change the traits of plants rather than animals
 D. has a huge potential to change the nature of biology
Question 37:Which of the following IS NOT achieved by genetic modification?
 A. Giving plants necessary traits taken from animals’ genes
 B. Producing hybrids or crossbreeds from many animals and plants
 C. Encouraging people to give up selective breeding completely
 D. Making big changes to the very nature of biology
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best 
answer to each of the following questions from 38 to 45.
For many American university students, the weeklong spring break holiday means an endless party on a 
sunny beach in Florida or Mexico. In Panama City Beach, Florida, a city with a permanent population of 
around 36,000, more than half a million university students arrive during the month of March to play and
 party, making it the number one spring break destination in the United States.
 A weeklong drinking binge is not for anyone, however, and a growing number of American university 
students have found a way to make spring break matter. For them, joining or leading a group of volunteers to 
travel locally or internationally and work to alleviate problems such as poverty, homelessness, or
 environmental damage makes spring break a unique learning experience that university students can feel 
good about. Question 47:"You did not tell the truth, Lucy!"said Nick.
