The idea that a long and healthy life starts in our
shopping baskets is as tempting to consumers as it is to
the food industry, which is usually keen to shout about
the potential benefits of so-called superfoods. But a
new wave of healthier products is making its way on to
our dinner plates without much noise or promotion. The
reason is simple: they are genetically modified (GM).
And for all the potential health benefits, they come
served with a side helping of unwanted baggage. The
first wave of GM foods was designed to benefit the
farmers that grew them and the corporations that
engineered them, rather than the people eating them.
Now we are seeing GM produce that offers healthier
alternatives to everyday staples like bread and oil, as
well as more exotic foods. In theory, this is a fresh
opportunity to make the case for GM. With products like
“good-gluten” bread, it is a chance to reach a new
generation who are ever more concerned about diet
and health, and who are among those most likely to
believe that GM foods are bad for us.
29. Which of the following is true about the first
wave of GM foods?
A) They came with a widespread approval from
the general public.
B) They helped farmers earn a lot of money as
they were quite popular.
C) They were good for the farmers and companies
that produced them, not for people eating
them.
D) They are now in the shopping baskets of many
people.
E) They were introduced for the purpose of
changing our minds about GM foods.
YDT İngilizce DenemeSınavı 7
30. Which of the following can be inferred from the
text about the writer’s attitude towards
superfoods?
A) He thinks they are healthy and should be in our
shopping baskets.
B) He is of the opinion that they formed the first
wave of GM foods.
C) He doesn’t believe that they will change our
opinion about GM foods.
D) He doesn’t think they have superior qualities
over normal food.
E) He believes they are quite underrated as there
is no promotion for them.
31. According to the passage, consumers today
----.
A) are different from the ones in the past in that
they are more health-conscious
B) are more likely to welcome GM foods as long
as they are healthy
C) might find it difficult to find superfoods in the
shelves of supermarkets
D) are eager to overrate the importance of
superfoods
E) prefer foods that come without much promotion
or noise
