Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.

Humans have struggled against weeds since the beginnings of agriculture. Marring our gardens is one of the milder effects of weeds - any plants that thrive where they are unwanted. They clog waterways, destroy wildlife habitats, and impede farming. Their spread eliminates grazing areas and accounts for one-third of all crop loss. They compete for sunlight, nutrients, and water with useful plants.

The global need for weed control had been answered mainly by the chemical industry. Its herbicides are effective and sometimes necessary, but some pose serious problems, particularly if misused. Toxic compounds threaten animal and public health when they accumulate in food plants, groundwater, and drinking water. They also harm workers who apply them.

In recent years, the chemical industry has introduced several herbicides that are more ecologically sound. Yet new chemicals alone cannot solve the world's weed problems. Hence, scientists are exploring the innate weed-killing powers of living organisms, primarily insects and microorganisms.

The biological agents now in use are environmentally benign and are harmless to humans. They can be chosen for their ability to attack selected targets and leave crops and other plants untouched. In contrast, some of the most effective chemicals kill virtually all the plants they come in contact with, sparing only those that are naturally resistant or have been genetically modified for resistance. Furthermore, a number of biological agents can be administered only once, after which no added applications are needed. Chemicals typically must be used several times per growing season.

Which of the following is NOT given as an advantage of using biological agents over chemical herbicides?

A. They are safer for workers.

B. They are less likely to destroy desirable plants.

C. They are more easily available.

D. They do not have to be used as often.

Con người đã phải vật lộn với cỏ dại từ những ngày đầu hình thành nên nông nghiệp. Phá hoại vườn chỉ là một phần tác hại của cỏ dại – một loài cỏ sinh trưởng mạnh nơi không ai mong muốn. Chúng bịt dòng nước, phá hoại thiên nhiên hoang sơ, và ngăn trở mùa màng. Sự sinh sôi của chúng làm mất các vùng cỏ và là nguyên nhân của 1/3 số vụ mất mùa. Chúng giành ánh sáng, chất dinh dưỡng và nguồn nước với các loại cây có lợi.

Nhu cầu kiểm soát cỏ dại trên thế giới chủ yếu được ngành công nghiệp hoá học đáp ứng. Thuốc diệt cỏ hoá học rất hiệu quả và đôi khi cần thiết, nhưng chúng gây ra hậu quả nguy hại, nhất là nếu bị lạm dụng. Các thành tố độc hại đe doạ đến động vật và sức khoẻ cộng đồng do được tích trữ trong cây lương thực, nguồn nước ngầm và nước uống. Chúng cũng làm hại đến người phun thuốc.

Trong những năm gần đây, ngành công nghiệp hoá học đã cho ra đời một số loại thuốc diệt cỏ thân thiện với môi trường hơn. Nhưng những loại mới này không đủ để giải quyết triệt để cỏ dại. Do đó, các nhà khoa học đang nghiên cứu về năng lực trừ cỏ tự nhiên của sinh vật sống, đặc biệt là côn trùng và vi sinh vật.
