2. READING COMPREHENSION (1 pt)
Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below.
MOBILE PHONES: Are they about to transform our lives?
We love them so much that some of us sleep with them under the pillow, yet we are increasingly
concerned that we cannot escape their electronic reach. We use them to convey our most intimate
secrets, yet we worry that they are a threat to our privacy. We rely on them more than the Internet to
cope with modern life, yet many of us don’t believe advertisements saying we need more advanced
services.
Sweeping aside the doubts that many people feel about the benefits of new third generations
phones and fears over the health effects of phone masts, a recent report claims that the long-term
effects of new mobile technologies will be entirely positive so long as the public can be convinced
to make use of them. Research about users of mobile phones reveals that the mobile has already
moved beyond being a mere practical. communications tool to become the backbone of modern
social life, from love affairs to friendship to work.
The close relationship between user and phone is most pronounced among teenagers, the report
says, who regard their mobiles as an expression of their identity. This is partly because mobiles are
seen as being beyond the control of parents. But the researchers suggest that another reason may be
that mobiles, especially text messaging was seen as a way of overcoming shyness. The impact of
phones, however, has been local rather than global, supporting existing friendship and networks,
rather than opening users to a new broader community. Even the language of texting in one area can
be incomprehensible to anybody from another area.
Among the most important benefits of using mobiles phones, the report claims, will be a vastly
improved mobile infrastructure, providing gains throughout the economy, and the provision of a
more sophisticated location-based services for users. The report calls on government to put more
effort into the delivery of services by mobile phone, with suggestion including public transport and
traffic information and doctors’ text messages to remind patients of appointments. There are many
possibilities. At a recent trade fair in Sweden, a mobile navigation product was launched. When the
user enters a destination, a route is automatically downloaded to their mobile and presented by
voices, pictures and maps as they drive. In future, these devices will also be able to plan around
congestion and road works in real time. Third generation phones will also allow for remote
monitoring of patients by doctors. In Britain scientists are developing an asthma management
solution using mobiles to detect early signs of an attack.
Mobile phones can be used in education. A group of teachers in Britain use third generation
phones to provide fast internet service to children who live beyond the reach of terrestrial broadband
services and can have no access to online information. ‘As the new generation of mobile
technologies takes off, the social potential of the vastly increase,’ the report argues.
81. What does the writer suggest in the first paragraph about our attitudes to mobile phones

B. We are worried about using them so much.
C. We have contradictory feelings about them.
D. We need them more than anything else to deal with modern life.

84. Why do teenagers have such a close relationship with their mobile phones?
A. They use text messages more than any other group
B. They are more inclined to be late than older people

2. READING COMPREHENSION (1pt)
The Winterthur Museum is a collection and a house. There are many museums devoted to
the decorative arts and many house museums, but rarely in the United States is a great collection
displayed in a great country house. Passing through successive generations of a single family,
Winterthur has been a private estate for more than a century. Even after the extensive renovations
made to it between 1929 and 1931, the house remained a family residence. This fact is of
importance to the atmosphere and effect of the museum. The impression of a lived-in house is
apparent to the visitor: the rooms look as if they were vacated only a short while ago whether by
the original owners of the furniture or the most recent residents of the house can be a matter of
personal interpretation. Winterthur remains, then, a house in which a collection of furniture and
architectural elements has been assembled. Like an English country house, it is an organic
structure; the house, as well as the collection and manner of displaying it to the visitor, has changed
over the years. The changes have coincided with developing concepts of the American arts,
increased knowledge on the part of collectors and students, and a progression toward the
achievement of a historical effect in period-room displays. The rooms at Winterthur have followed
this current, yet still retained the character of a private house.
The concept of a period room as a display technique has developed gradually over the years
in an effort to present works of art in a context that would show them to greater effect and would
give them more meaning for the viewer. Comparable to the habitat group in a natural history
museum, the period room represents the decorative arts in a lively and interesting manner and
provides an opportunity to assemble objects related by style, date, or place of manufacture.
81. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The reason that Winterthur was redesigned
B. Elements that make Winterthur an unusual museum
C. How Winterthur compares to English country houses
D. Historical furniture contained in Winterthur
82. The phrase "devoted to" in line 2 is closest in meaning to
A. surrounded by B. specializing in C. successful in D. sentimental about
83. What happened at Winterthur between 1929 and 1931?
A. The owners moved out B. The house was repaired
C. The old furniture was replaced D. The estate became a museum
84. What does the author mean by stating "the impression of a lived-in house is apparent to the
visitor" (lines 7-8)?
A. Winterthur is very old
B. Few people visit Winterthur
C. Winterthur does not look like a typical museum
D. The furniture at Winterthur looks comfortable
85. The word "assembled" in line 12 is closest in meaning to
A. summoned B. appreciated C. brought together D. fundamentally changed
86. The word "it" in line 12 refers to
A. Winterthur B. collection C. English country house D. visitor
87. The word "developing" in line 14 is closest in meaning to
A. traditional B. exhibiting C. informative D. evolving
88. According to the passage, objects in a period room are related by all of the following EXCEPT
A. date B.style C.place of manufacture D. past ownership
89. What is the relationship between the two paragraphs in the passage?
A. Paragraph 2 explains a term that was mentioned in Paragraph 1.
B. Each paragraph describes a different approach to the display of objects in a museum
C. Paragraph 2 explains a philosophy of art appreciation that contrasts with that explained in
Paragraph 1.
D. Each paragraph describes a different historical period
90. Where in the passage does the author explain why displays at Winterthur have changed?
A. lines 1-4 B. lines 5-8 C. lines 9-12 D. lines 13-16

KEEPING OUR TEETH HEALTHY
1 It’s very important to have health teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They
2 also help us to look nicely. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the
3 enamel covering of the tooth. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there.
4 Then the decay slowly spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poisonous goes into the blood,
5 and we may feel quite ill. How can we keep our teeth healthy? First, we ought to visit our
6 dentist twice a year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He
7 can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way. Fortunately, many
8 people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our
9 teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day once after breakfast and
10 once before we go to bed. We can also use wood toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a
11 meal. Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish,
12 brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits
13 and cakes are bad, especially when we eat it between meals. They are harmful because they

Task 2: READING COMPREHENSION
The ability to conduct electricity is one of the key properties of a metal. Other solid material
such as silicon can conduct electricity but only effectively at certain temperatures. Also, some
substances such as salt (sodium chloride) can conduct when molten or when dissolved in water. The
ability of metals to conduct electricity is due to how their atoms bond together. In order to bond
together the metal atoms lose at least one of their outermost electrons. This leaves the metal atoms
with a positive charge and they are now strictly ions. The lost electrons are free to move in what are
known as a sea of electrons. Since the electrons are negatively charged they attract the ions and this
is what keeps the structure together.
An electric current is a flow of charge and since the electrons in the sea of electrons are free
to move they can be made to flow in one direction when a source of electrical energy such as a
battery is connected to the metal. Hence we have an electric current flowing through the wire, and
this is what makes metals such good conductors of electricity. The only other common solid
conducting material that pencil users are likely to encounter is graphite (what the ‘lead’ of a pencil
is made from). Graphite is a form of carbon and again the carbon atoms bond in such a way that
there is a sea of electrons that can be made to flow as an electric current. Likewise, if we have an
ionic substance like salt we can make the electrically charged ions flow to create a current but only
when those ions are free to move, either when the substance is a liquid or dissolved in water. In its
solid state an ionic substance like salt cannot conduct electricity as its charged ions cannot flow.
Electrical insulators are substances that cannot conduct electricity well either, because they
contain no charged particles or any charged particles they might contain do not flow easily. Water
itself is a poor conductor or electricity as it does not contain a significant amount of fully charged
particles (the ends of a water molecule are partly charged but overall the molecule is neutral).
However, most water we encounter does contain dissolved charged particles, so it will be more
conductive than pure water. Many of the problems that occur when touching electrical devices with
wet hands result from the ever-present salt that is left on our skin through perspiration and it
dissolves in the water to make it more conductive.
81. Electrical conductivity is
A. one of the most important properties of metals
B. one of the key properties of most solid materials
C. impossible for any substance when it is dissolved in water
D. completely impossible for silicon
82. According to the passage, a metal can conduct electricity due to
A. the absence of free electrons B. its atoms with a positive charge
C. the way its atoms bond together D. the loss of one electron in the core of its atoms
83. The word “outermost” in paragraph 1 mostly means
A. the lightest. B. nearest to the inside.
C. furthest from the inside. D. the heaviest.
84. The atoms of a metal can bond together because
A. the lost electrons cannot move freely in the sea of electrons
B. electrons can flow in a single direction
C. they lose all of electrons
D. negatively charged electrons attract positive ions
85. Salt in its solid state is not able to conduct electricity because
A. it has free electrons B. its charged ions can flow easily
C. it cannot create any charge ions D. it charged ions are not free to move
86. The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to
A. charged ions B. electric currents C. charged particles D. electrical insulators
87. Water is a poor conductor because it contains
A. no positive or negative electric charge B. only a small amount of fully charged particles
C. only a positive electric charge D. only a negative electric charge
88. We can have problems when touching electrical devices with wet hands because
A. the eater itself is a good conductor of electricity
B. the water dissolves the salt on our skin and becomes more conductive
C. the water contains too many neutral molecules
D. the water containing no charged particles makes it more conductive
89. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Pure water is much more conductive than most water we encounter every day.
B. Graphite is a common solid substance that can conduct electricity.
C. Salt can conduct electricity when it is molten or dissolved.
D. Some materials are more conductive than others.
90. Which of the following could best serve as the title of the passage?
A. Electrical Energy B. Electrical Devices C. Electrical Insulators D. Electrical
Conductivity

On March 25, 1911, one of the five hundred employees of the Triangle Shirtwaist factory in
New York noticed that a rag bin near her eighth- floor work station was on fire. Workers
immediately tried to extinguish the flames. Their efforts prove futile, as piles of fabric ignited all
over the eighth floor. The manager of the factory ordered his employees to unroll the fire
extinguisher hose, but they found it rotted and useless.
The shirt factory occupied the top three floors of the ten- story Asch Building. The seventy
employees who worked on thetenth floor escaped the fire by way of the staircases or climbed onto
the roof, where students from New York University, located across the street, stretched ladders over
to the Asch Building.
The 260 workers on the ninth floor had the worst luck of all. Although the eighth- floor
workers tried to warn them by telephone, the call did not reach them, and by the time they learned
about the fire, their routes of escape were mostly blocked. Some managed to climb down the cables
of the freight elevator. Others crammed into the narrow stairway. Still others climbed onto the
single, inadequately constructed fire escape. But that spindly structure could not support the weight
of hundreds of people, and it separated from the wall,fallingto the ground and carrying many people
with it.
To combat the disaster, the New York Fire Department sent thirty five pieces of equipment,
including a hook and ladder. The young women trapped on the ninth- floor windowledge watchedin
horror as the ladder, fully raised, stopped far below them, reaching only as far as the sixth floor.
Within minutes, the factory- a fire trap typical of the period’s working conditions- was
consumed by flame, killing 146 workers, mostly immigrant women. City officials set up a
temporary morgue on 26th Street, and over the next few days streams of survivors filed through the
building toidentifythe dead.
The Triangle Shirtwaist fire brought a public outcry for laws to regulate the safety of working
conditions. The New York Factory Investigating Commission was formed to examine the working
conditions infactories throughout the state. Their reportintroduced many new regulations. The fire
had occurred during an era of progressive reform that was beginning to sweep the nation, as
people decided that government had a responsibility to ensure that private industry protected the
welfare of working people.

KEEPING OUR TEETH HEALTHY
1 It’s very important to have health teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They
2 also help us to look nicely. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in
3 the enamel covering of the tooth. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected
4 there. Then the decay slowly spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poisonous goes into the
5 blood, and we may feel quite ill. How can we keep our teeth healthy? First, we ought to
6 visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy
7 the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way.
8 Fortunate, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly,
9 we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day
10 once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wood toothpicks to
11 clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for or teeth
12 and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh
13 fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when we eat it between
14 meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.

A balanced diet contains proteins, which are composed of complex amino acids. There are 20
types of amino acids, comprising about 16 percent of the body weight in a lean individual. A body
needs all 20 to be healthy. Amino acids can be divided into two groups: essential and nonessential.
There are 9 essential amino acids. These are the proteins that the body cannot produce by itself, so a
healthy individual must ingest them. The 11 nonessential amino acids, on the other hand, are
produced by the body, so it is not necessary to ingest them. Proteins are described as being either
high-quality or low-quality, depending on how many of the 9 essential amino acids the food
contains. High-quality proteins, typically found in animal meats, are proteins that have ample
amounts of the essential amino acids. Low-quality proteins are mainly plant proteins and usually
lack one or more of the essential amino acids. Since people who follow a strict vegetarian diet are
ingesting only low-quality proteins, they must make sure that their diets contain a variety of
proteins, in order to ensure that what is lacking in one food is available in another. This process of
selecting a variety of the essential proteins is called protein complementation. Since an insufficient
amount of protein in the diet can be crippling, and prolonged absence of proteins can cause death,
it is imperative that a vegetarian diet contains an ample amount of the essential proteins.

Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture from food helped to preserve it, and
that the easiest way to do it was to expose the food to sun and wind, In this way the North American
Indians produced pemmican (dried meat ground into powder and made into cakes), the
Scandinavians made stock fish and the Arabs dried dates and apricots.
All foods contain water – cabbage and other leaf vegetables contain as much as 93% wave,
potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean meat 75% and fish anything from 80% to 60%
depending on how fatty it is. If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which cause food
to bad is checked.
Fruit is sun-dried in Asia Minor, Greece, Spain and other Mediterranean countries, and also
in California, South Africa and Australia. The methods used carry, but in general the fruit is spread
out on trays in drying yards in the hot sun. In order to prevent darkening, pears, peaches and
apricots are exposed to the fumes of burning sulphur before drying. Plums for making prunes, and
certain varieties of grapes for making raisins and currants, are dipped in an alkaline solution in order
to crack the skins of the fruit slightly and remove their wax coating, so increasing the rate of drying.
Nowadays most of foods are dried mechanically; the conventional method of such
dehydration is to put food in chambers through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about
1100C at entry to about 450C at exit. This is usual method for drying such things as vegetables,
minced meat, and fish.
Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated
horizontal steel cylinder or by spraying them into a chamber through which a current of hot air
passes. In the first case, the dried material is scraped off the roller as a thin film which is then
broken up into small, though still relatively coarse flakes. In the second process it falls to the bottom
of the chamber as a fine powder. Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as
in soup, the ingredients are dried separately and then mixed.
Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans of frozen,
and they do not need to be stored in special conditions. For these reasons they are invaluable to
climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space. They are also popular with
housewives because it takes so little time to cook them.
81. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Water: the main component of food. B. Advantages of dried foods.
C. Mechanization of drying foods. D. Different methods of drying foods.
82. The phrase “do this” in the first paragraph mostly means .
A. moisten foods B. expose foods to sun and wind
C. produce pemmican D. remove moisture from foods
83. The word “checked” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A. motivated to develop B. reduced considerably
C. put a tick D. examined carefully
84. In the process of drying certain kinds of fruits, sulphur fumes help .
A. remove their wax coating B. kill of bacteria
C. maintain their color D. crack their skin
85. Nowadays the common method for drying vegetables and minced meat is .
A. dipping them in an alkaline solution
B. spreading them out on trays in drying yards
C. putting them in chambers and blowing hot air through
D. pouring them over a heated horizontal steel cylinder
86. What does the word “which” in the fourth paragraph refer to?

3 himself. However man probably made his fire by rubbing two sticks each other. Fire was
4 very important to man. He needed fire to keep himself warm at night. He used fire to cook
5 his food. He used fire to frighten away enemies and wild animals. In some parts of the
6 world he used fire to signal messages. Red Indians, for example, used fire to do smoke
7 signals. In some other countries people lit fires to warn their friends of danger. Fire was
8 very also used to give light. Before the invention of oil lamp, men used burning sticks as
9 torches. And before man discovery gas and electricity, he hung small fires in wire baskets
10 from posts to light the streets. One man even used fire to tell the time. He invented a
11 candle clock. He made a candle that took exactly twelve hours burning. Then he marked
12 this candle in twelve equal parts. He lit the candle and could tell the time by counting the
13 number of parts left of the burning candle. But the candle clock did not always work well.
14 If there was a wind blowing on the candle, the flame burned too quick.

Most human diets contain between 10 and 15 percent of their total calories as protein. The rest
of the dietary energy conies from carbohydrates, fats, and in some people, alcohol.The proportion of
calories from fats varies from 10 percent in poor communities to 40 percent or more in rich
communities.
In addition to providing energy, fats have several other functions in the body. The fat-soluble
vitamins, A, D, E, and K, are dissolved in fats, as their name implies. Good sources of these
vitamins have high oil or fat content, and the vitamins are stored in the body’s fatty tissues. In the
diet, fats cause food to remain longer in the stomach, thus increasing the feeling of fullness for some
time after a meal is eaten. Fats add variety, taste, and texture to foods, which accounts for the
popularity of fried foods. Fatty deposits in the body have an insulating and protective value. The
curves of the human female body are due mostly to strategically located fat deposits.
Whether a certain amount of fat in the diet is essential to human health is not definitely
known. When rats are fed a fat-free diet, their growth eventually ceases, their skin becomes
inflamed and scaly, and their reproductive systems are damaged.Two fatty acids,linoleic and
arachidonic acids, prevent these abnormalities and hence are called eseential fatty acids.They also
are required by a number of other animals, but their roles in human beings are debatable. Most
nutritionists consider linoleic fatty acid an essential nutrient for humans.
81. This passage probably appeared in which of the following?
A. A diet book B. A book on basic nutrition
C. A cookbook D. A popular women’s magazine
82. We can infer from the passage that all of the following statements about fats are true EXCEPT
A. fats provide energy for the body
B. economics influences the distribution of calorie intake
C. poor people eat more fatty foods
D. alcohol is not a common source of dietary energy
83. The word “functions” in line 5 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. forms B. needs C. jobs D. sources
84. The phrase “stored in” in line 7 is closest in meaning to________.
A. manufactured in B. attached to C. measured by D. accumulated in
85. The author states that fats serve all of the following body functions EXCEPT to________.
A. promote a feeling of fullness B. insulate and protect the body
C. provide energy D. control weight gain
86. The word “essential to” in line 12 is closest in meaning to________.
A. required for B. desired for C. detrimental to D. beneficial to
87. According to the author of the passage, which of the following is true for rats when they are fed
a fat free diet?
A. They stop growing B. They have more babies
C. They lose body hair D. They require less care
88. Linoleic fatty acid is mentioned in the passage as________.
A. an essential nutrient for humans B. more useful than arachidonic acid
C. preventing weight gain in rats D. a nutrient found in most foods

A NOBLE GIFT
1 One of the most famous monument in the world, the Statute of Liberty, was presented to
2 the United States of America in the nineteenth century by the people of France. The great
3 statute, which was design by the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years to complete.
4 The actual figure was made into copper supported by a metal framework which had been
5 especially constructed by Eiffel. Before it could be transported to the United States, a site
6 had to be found for it and a pedestal had to be built. The site chosen was an island at the
7 entrance of New York Harbour. By 1884, a statute which was 151 feet height, had been
8 erected in Paris. The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent to America. By the
9 end of October 1886, the statute had been put together again and it was official presented
10 to the American people by Bartholdi. Ever since then, the great monument has been a
11 symbol of liberty for million of people who have passed through New York Harbour to
12 make their home in America.

Ocean water plays an indispensable role in supporting life. The great ocean basins hold about 300
million cubic miles of water. From this vast amount, about 80,000 cubic miles of water are sucked
into the atmosphere each year by evaporation and returned by precipitation and drainage to the
ocean. More than 24,000 cubic miles of rain descend annually upon the continents. This vast
amount is required to replenish the lakes and streams, springs and water tables on which all flora
and fauna are dependent. Thus, the hydrosphere permits organic existence.
The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has properties unlike those of any
other liquid. One anomaly is that water upon freezing expands by about 9 percent, whereas most
liquids contract on cooling. For this reason, ice floats on water bodies instead of sinking to the
bottom. If the ice sank, the hydrosphere would soon be frozen solidly, except for a thin layer of
surface melt water during the summer season. Thus, all aquatic life would be destroyed and the
interchange of warm and cold currents, which moderates climate, would be notably absent.
Another outstanding characteristic of water is that water has a heat capacity which is the highest
of all liquids and solids except ammonia. This characteristic enables the oceans to absorb and store
vast quantities of heat, thereby often preventing climatic extremes. In addition, water dissolves more
substances than any other liquid. It is this characteristic that helps make oceans a great storehouse
for minerals which have been washed down from the continents. In several areas of the world these
minerals are being commercially exploited. Solar evaporation of salt is widely practiced, potash is
extracted from the Dead Sea, and magnesium is produced from sea water along the American Gulf
Coast.

B. ice floats

LEARNING TO MAKE A PERFECT PIZZA
According to the European Pizza-Makers’ Association, making a good pizza is not a

However, water and flour can easily turn into a rather unappetizing gluey mix, and anyone who has
eaten a (71) ________ quality pizza will know how bad it can make your stomach (72) ________ “In
Italy, 70 per cent of pizza makers could improve on their product, not to (73) ________ all the pizza

reputation of this traditional dish. As part of an (76) ________course, the students at Mr Primiceri’s
school are taught to (77) ________common mistakes, produce a good basic mixture, add a tasty
topping and cook the pizza properly. “Test the finished pizza by breaking the crust,” advises Mr
Primiceri. “If the soft (78) ________inside the pizza is white, clean and dry, it’s a good pizza. If it is

The history of clinical nutrition, or the study of the relationship between health and how the
body takes in and utilizes food substances, can be divided into four distinct eras: the first began in
the nineteenth century and extended into the early twentieth century when it was recognized for the
first time that food contained constituents that were essential for human function and that different
foods provided different amounts of these essential agents. Near the end of this era, research studies
demonstrated that rapid weight loss was associated with nitrogen imbalance and could only be
rectified by providing adequate dietary protein associated with certain foods.
The second era was initiated in the early decades of the twentieth century and might be called
"the vitamin period. "Vitamins came to be recognized in foods, and deficiency syndromes were
described. As vitamins became recognized as essential food constituents necessary for health, it
became tempting to suggest that every disease and condition for which there had been no previous
effective treatment might be responsive to vitamin therapy. At that point in time, medical schools
started to become more interested in having their curricula integrate nutritional concepts into the
basic sciences. Much of the focus of this education was on the recognition of deficiency symptoms.
Herein lay the beginning of what ultimately turned from ignorance to denial of the value of
nutritional therapies in medicine. Reckless claims were made for effects of vitamins that went far
beyond what could actually be achieved from the use of them.
In the third era of nutritional history in the early 1950's to mid-1960's, vitamin therapy began
to fall into disrepute. Concomitant with this, nutrition education in medical schools also became
less popular. It was just a decade before this that many drug companies had found their vitamin
sales skyrocketing and were quick to supply practicing physicians with generous samples of
vitamins and literature extolling the virtue of supplementation for a variety of health-related
conditions. Expectations as to the success of vitamins in disease control were exaggerated. As is
known in retrospect, vitamin and mineral therapies are much less effective when applied to health-
crisis conditions than when applied to long-term problems of under nutrition that lead to chronic
health problems.
A. The stages of development of clinical nutrition as a field of study
B. The history of food preferences from the nineteenth century to the present
C. The effects of vitamins on the human body
D. Nutritional practices of the nineteenth century

first era in the history of nutrition?
A. Certain foods were found to be harmful to good health.

D. Protein was recognized as an essential component of diet.
83. The word "tempting" is closest in meaning to ________.
A. realistic B. necessary C. correct D. attractive

order to ________.
A. encourage medical doctors to apply concepts of nutrition in the treatment of disease
B. support the creation of artificial vitamins
C. convince doctors to conduct experimental vitamin therapies on their patients
D. convince medical doctors to participate in research studies on nutrition
85. The word "Reckless" is closest in meaning to________.
A. recorded B. irresponsible C. informative D. urgent

HOW THE MAY DAY HOLIDAY BEGAN IN ENGLAND
1 Many hundred years before there were many villages and few towns in England.
2 The villagers liked to go into the forests and the fields when spring came. On the first
3 Sunday of May they usually took a tree back with them and put it in the center of the
4 village. The children danced round it and the men and the women took part in games
5 around it. Late the international working class made the First of May their day of
6 solidarity. The first May Day was celebrated in England in 1890, when the workers
7 decided to fight for an eight-hours working day and an end to the very long hours that
8 they worked. In London, the workers marched from all places to a meeting in Hyde Park.
9 This demonstrate showed their unity and solidarity. After that, May Day in England was
10 usual celebrated on the Sunday nearest to the first day of the month. There have been
11 many large May Day demonstrations. The working people showed on those days their
12 solidarity with the progressive people in another countries.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the following questions.
1 Sharks have gained an unfair reputation for being fierce predators of large sea
animals. Humanity's unfounded fear and hatred of these ancient creatures is leading to a
worldwide slaughter that may result in the extinction of many coastal shark species.
The shark is the victim of a warped attitude of wildlife protection; we strive only to
5 protect the beautiful, non-threatening parts of our environment. And, in our efforts to
restore only non-threatening parts of our earth, we ignore other important parts.
A perfect illustration of this attitude is the contrasting attitude toward another large
sea animal, the dolphin. During the 1980s, environmentalists in the United States
protested the use of driftnets for tuna fishing in the Pacific Ocean since these nets also
10 caught dolphins. The environmentalists generated enough political and economic
pressure to prevent tuna companies from buying tuna that had been caught in driftnets.
In contrast to this effort on behalf of the dolphins, these same environmentalists have
done very little to help save the Pacific Ocean sharks whose population has decreased
nearly to the point of extinction. Sharks are among the oldest creatures on earth, having
15 survived in the seas for more than 350 million years. They are extremely efficient
animals, feeding on wounded or dying animals, thus performing an important role in
nature of weeding out the weaker animals in a species. Just the fact that species such as
the Great White Shark have managed to live in the oceans for so many millions of
years is enough proof of their efficiency and adaptability to changing environments. It
20 is time for us humans, who may not survive another 1,000 years at the rate we are
damaging the planet, to cast away our fears and begin considering the protection of
sharks as an important part of a program for protection of all our natural environment.
81. With which of the following topics is this passage primarily concerned?
A. Sharks are some of the oldest creatures on earth.
B. The campaign to save dolphins was not extended to save sharks.
C. Sharks illustrate a problem in wildlife protection.
D. Sharks are efficient creatures with bad reputations.

84. How did environmentalists manage to protect dolphins?
A. They prevented fishermen from selling them for meat.
B. They brought political pressure against tuna companies.
C. They pressured fishermen into protecting dolphins by law.
D. They created sanctuaries where dolphin fishing was not allowed.
85. About how long have sharks lived on the planet?
A. 150 million years B. 25 million years C. 350 million years D. 500 million years
