SECTION ONE — Error correction (genetic engineering)

Identify mistake => correction.

Genetic engineering has played an important role in many scientific breakthrough. Researchers have modified the genetic make-up of plants, for example, to create disease resistant crops, and animals like pigs to produce low-fat meat. They have even managed creating goats that can produce spider silk by inserting the spider silk-making gene into goat embryos. The adult goats produce a protein in its milk that can be extracted and transformed into a fibre identical with spider silk. This amazing substance is five times stronger than steel, yet enough light to make protective clothing, coatings and adhesives. However, increasing production by farming spiders is very difficult although they have a tendency to eat each other, but now the silk can be produced artificial on a larger scale thanks to the transgenic goats, as they are called. Researchers work with these goats claim that changing their DNA makes no harm whatsoever to the animals. Nevertheless, questions have been risen as to how ethical it is to genetically engineer living creatures in this way. Consequently, all the research is being carefully regulated.

SECTION TWO — Reading: dot-com era (21–30)

Choose A–D.

The late 1990s was a volatile time for the Internet entrepreneur. There were a large number of new high-tech and Internet-based businesses being started up, some based on little more than dreams.

Besides collaborating with others, today's entrepreneurs need to be able to think on their feet… constant research… hardworking and tenacious… Experimentation and innovation are critical…
