Some zoos make animals behave unnaturally: for example, marine parks often force dolphins and whales to perform tricks. These mammals may die decades earlier (19)___ their wild relatives, and some even try to commit suicide.

Surplus animals are sold not only to other zoos but (27)___ to circuses or hunting ranches in the US or South Africa, (28)___ some people are willing to pay a lot of money for the chance to kill an animal in a fenced enclosure.

Perhaps it all (29)___ on how well individual zoos are managed, and the benefits of zoos can surely outweigh their harmful effects. However, it is understandable (30)___ many people believe imprisoning animals for any reason is simply wrong. Part 3: (20 points) Read the passage and choose the correct answer (from A, B, C or D) for each question. Write your answers in the space provided. The biologist’s role in society as well as his moral and ethical responsibility in the discovery and development of new ideas has led to a reassessment of his social and scientific value systems. A scientist can no longer ignore the consequences of his discoveries; he is as concerned the possible misuses of his findings as he is with the basic research in which he is involved. This emerging social and political role of the biologist and all other scientists requires a weighing of values that cannot be done with the accuracy or the objectivity of a laboratory balance. As a member of society, it is necessary for a biologist now to redefine his social obligations and his functions, particularly in the realm of making judgments about such ethical problems as man’s control of his environment or his manipulation of genes to direct further evolutionary development. As a result of recent discoveries concerning hereditary mechanisms, genetic engineering, by which human traits are made to order, may soon be a reality. As desirable as it may seem to be, such an accomplishment would entail many value judgments. Who would decide, for example, which traits should be selected for change? In case of genetic deficiencies and diseases, the desirability of the change is obvious, but the possibilities for social misuse are so numerous that they may far outweigh the benefits. Probably the greatest biological problem of the future, as it is of the present, will be to find ways to curb environmental pollution without interfering with man’s constant efforts to improve the quality of his life. Many scientists believe that underlying the spectre of pollution is the problem of surplus human population. A rise in population necessitates an increase in the operations of modern industry, the waste products of which increase the pollution of air, water, and soil. The question of how many people the resources of the Earth can support is one of critical importance. Although the solutions to these and many other problems are yet to be found, they do indicate the need for biologists to work with social scientists and other members of society in order to determine the requirements necessary for maintaining a healthy and productive planet. For although many of man’s present and future problems may seem to be essentially social, political, or economic in nature, they have biological ramifications that could affect the very existence of life itself. 31. According to the passage, a modern scientist should be more concerned about ___. A. his basic research B. the development of new ideas C. his manipulation of genes D. the consequences of his discoveries 32. The pronoun “it” in paragraph 2 refers to ___. A. an accomplishment B. a reality C. genetic engineering D. hereditary mechanism 33. It is implied in the passage that genetic engineering ___.
  6. A. may do us more harm than good B. is no longer desirable C. is the most desirable for life D. will change all human traits 34. The pronoun “they” in paragraph 2 refers to ___. A. cases of genetic deficiencies B. discoveries concerning hereditary mechanism C. possibilities for genetic deficiencies D. effects of genetic engineering misuse 35. What is probably the most important biological problem mentioned in the passage? A. social and economic deficiencies B. manipulation of genes C. genetic engineering misuse D. environmental pollution 36. The word “which” in paragraph 3 refers to ___. A. serious environmental pollution B. activities of an overpopulated society’s industry C. activities of surplus human population D. the waste products dumped into our environment 37. The word “underlying” in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by ___. A. noticing B. causing C. finding D. depriving 38. According to the passage, to save our planet, biologists should work ___. A. harder and harder B. accurately and objectively C. on social and political purposes D. with other social scientists 39. Which of the following is closest meaning to the word “ramifications” in paragraph 4? A. useful experiments B. effective techniques C. harmful consequences D. latest developments 40. What is the author’s purpose in this passage? A. To conduct a survey of the biologist’s role in society. B. To urge biologists to solve the problems of surplus human population. C. To emphasize the biologist’s role in solving the world’s problems. D. To advise biologists to carry out extensive research into genetic engineering. D.
