VI. Read the following passage and choose among A, B, C or D the correct answer to each of the
questions from 1 to 8.
The first two decades of this century were dominated by the microbe hunters. These hunters had tracked
down one after another of the microbes responsible for the most dreaded scourges of many centuries:
tuberculosis, cholera, diphtheria. But there remained some terrible diseases for which no microbe could be
incriminated: scurvy, pellagra, rickets, beriberi. Then it was discovered that these diseases were caused by the
lack of vitamins, a trace substance in the diet. The diseases could be prevented or cured by consuming foods that
contained the vitamins. And so in the decades of the 1920's and 1930's, nutrition became a science and the
vitamin hunters replaced the microbe hunters.
In the 1940's and 1950's, biochemists strived to learn why each of the vitamins was essential for health.
They discovered that key enzymes in metabolism depend on one or another of the vitamins as coenzymes to
perform the chemistry that provides cells with energy for growth and function. Now, these enzyme hunters
occupied center stage.
You are aware that the enzyme hunters have been replaced by a new breed of hunters who are tracking
genes - the blueprints for each of the enzymes - and are discovering the defective genes that cause inherited
diseases - diabetes, cystic fibrosis. These gene hunters, or genetic engineers, use recombinant DNA technology
to identify and clone genes and introduce them into bacterial cells and plants to create factories for the massive
production of hormones and vaccines for medicine and for better crops for agriculture. Biotechnology has
become a multi-billion-dollar industry.
In view of the inexorable progress in science, we can expect that the gene hunters will be replaced in the
spotlight. When and by whom? Which kind of hunter will dominate the scene in the last decade of our waning
century and in the early decades of the next? I wonder whether the hunters who will occupy the spotlight will
be neurobiologists who apply the techniques of the enzyme and gene hunters to the funtions of the brain. What
to call them? The head hunters. I will return to them later.
1. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The microbe hunters. B. The potential of genetic engineering.
C. The progress of modern medical research. D. The discovery of enzymes.

VII. Read the following passage and choose among A, B, C or D the correct answer to each of the
questions
Although the "lie detectors" are being used by governments, police departments, and businesses that all
want guaranteed ways of detecting the truth, the results are not always accurate. Lie detectors are properly
called emotion detectors, for their aim is to measure bodily changes that contradict what a person says. The
polygraph machine records changes in heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, and the electrical activity of the skin
(galvanic skin response, or GSR). In the first part of the polygraph test, you are electronically connected to the
machine and asked a few neutral questions ("What is your name?", "Where do you live?"). Your physical
reactions serve the standard (baseline) for evaluating what comes next. Then you are asked a few critical
questions among the neutral ones ("When did you rob the bank?"). The assumption is that if you are guilty,
your body will reveal the truth, even if you try to deny it. Your heart rate, respiration, and GSR will change
abruptly as you respond to the incriminating questions.
That is the theory; but psychologists have found that lie detectors are simply not reliable. Since most
physical changes are the same across all emotions, machines cannot tell whether you are feeling guilty, angry,
nervous, thrilled, or revved up form an exciting day. Innocent people may be tense and nervous about the whole
procedure. They may react physiologically to a certain word ("bank") not because they robbed it, but because
they recently bounced a check. In either case the machine will record a "lie". The reverse mistake is also
common. Some practiced liars can lie without flinching, and others learn to beat the machine by tensing muscles
or thinking about an exciting experience during neutral questions.
