▲ Martín Ramírez from Argentina：
I think it is okay for scientists to grow geneticallyengineer food because they can develop better food and this can help with the hunger problem all around the world. Scientists can help us to have more and better meats to eat by cloning only the superior animals. I don't think that we should worry so much about geneticallyengineered food.
▲ Angela Fernandez from Mexico：
I don't know if the tomatoes we find in supermarkets are genetically manipulated or not. What I do know is that they are very bad! A tomato grown with sun and soil is much better. In the case of strawberries, actually, most strawberries we can find are very tasty. I guess, however, they have been genetically manipulated, too.
▲ Vera Sirotkina from Russia：
If we manipulate vegetable genes, we can also do with human genes. So it may be possible that a substance which is left in food could get into a human body while the person is eating. Then, is it possible that this substance could modify the person's genetic structure?
▲ Pinar Müfftler from Turkey：
I don't agree with the idea that scientists should not grow geneticallyengineered food because it is not safe. If they want to make progress, they should do experiments. It's important to keep trying. If they don't keep trying, they will never be able to develop new technologies. Maybe these technologies won't be successful in the beginning, but if scientists keep trying, they will develop new ways.

D．Angela Fernandez from Mexico.
2．As far as Pinar Müfftler is concerned, ________.
A．developing such food is a better way to solve world hunger
B．experimenting on such food shouldn't be allowed
C．new technologies will make such food safer to eat
D．this kind of food is much better and tastier
3．What do we infer about Martín Ramírez?
A．He doubts whether such food is safe.
B．He worries that the crops will spoil.
C．He doesn't like vegetables and fruits.
D．He is in favor of cloning animals.
【语篇解读】本文叙述了四人对转基因食品发表的观点。
1．D 细节理解题。根据“What I do know is that they are very bad！”可知， Angela Fernandez明显反对转基因食品。
2．C 细节理解题。根据“Maybe these technologies won't be successful in the beginning, but if scientists keep trying, they will develop new ways. ”可知， Pinar认为未来新技术会让食物变得更安全。
3．D 细节理解题。根据“Scientists can help us to have more and better meats to eat by cloning only the superior animals.”可知， 他支持克隆动物。
