50 Questions
DIRECTIONS
In this section, you will read a number of passages. Each one is followed by approximately ten questions about it. For
questions 1-50, choose the one best answer, (A), (B), (C), or (D), to each question. Then, find the number of the
question on your answer sheet, and fill in the space that corresponds to the letter of the on the basis of what is stated
or implied in that passage.
(Line 1) The food we eat seems to have profound effects on your health. Although science has made enormous steps
in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that
perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and fourty percent of cancer is related to the diet as
well, especially cancer of the colon. People of different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because
of the characteristic foods they consume.
(Line 8) That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. in 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates
and nitrites (commonly used to preserve colors in meats) as well as other food additives caused cancer. Yet, these
carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which ingredients on the
packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful.
(Line 13) The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and
because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to
animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in
order to obtain a higher price on the market. Athough the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to
control these procedures, the practices continue.
(Line 20) A healthy dies is directly related to good health. Often we are unaware of detrimental substances we ingest.
Sometimes well-meaning farmers or others who do not realize the consequences add these substances to food
without our knowledge.
2. The fact that the topic has been known for some time is discussed in line :
(A) 2-4
(B) 10-11
(C) 17-19
(D) 26-27
5. FDA means
(A) Food Direct Additives.
(B) Final Difficult Analysis.
(C) Food and Drug Administration.
(D). Federal Dairy Additives.
(Line 1) The ancient egyptians firmly believed in the afterlife and spent their time on earth preparing for it. Elaborate
burial rituals included preparing the burial site, preparing foar all the deceased's material needs (food, clothing,
jewels, and tools of their trade), and preserving the corpse so that it would not decay. This preservation was
accomplished through a process of mummification. The ancients left no written accounts as to the execution of this
process, so scientists have had to examine mummies and establish their own theories. The embalming process might
have taken up to seventy days for the pharaohs and nobility and only a few days for the poor.
(Line 10)The embalmers spread a variety of compounds of salt, spices and resins in and over the corpse to preserve
it. They followed this with preserved wrapping, a procedure in which they wound strips of five linen around, over and
under the body while placing various amulets within the wrappings to protect the deceased from harm on the long
journey to the afterlife. They also painted resins over the wrapped linen. Finally, a pharaoh or or noble would have
been encased in a wooden box before being placed in sarcophagus.
12. How have we been able to learn about the mummification process?
(A) Accurate records have been handed down to us.
(B) Interviews with embalmers who still use the process have revealed the secret.
(C) After studying mummies, scientists have developed their own theories.
(D) Chemical analysis of the compounds has let us to an explanation of the method used.
19. It can be inferred that Egyptians burried food, clothing, jewels, and tools with the deceased because :
(A) the family did not want anyone else to share them.
(B) that was the wish of the deceased.
(C) they were afraid
(D) the deceased would need them while enroute to the afterlife.
21. The distinction between mummification of bodies from different classes is explained in lines :
(A) 2-6
(B) 10-12
(C) 13-14
(D) 15-17.
(1) A tapeworm is a parasite that lives in the intestines of humans and animals. Some tapeworms attach themselves
to the intestinal wall by means of suckers in their heads. Others float freely in the intestines and absorb food through
the walls of their bodies.
(5) A tapeworm consists of numerous segments. When a new segment forms, the older ones move to the back of the
animal. Each segment contains hermaphroditic sexual organs (that is male and female organs). The uterus of each
segment fills with eggs, which develop into embryos. Generally, when the eggs are ready to hatch, the segment
breaks off and is eliminated through the host's excretory system. These embryos hatch, develop into larvae, and grow
to adults only if ingested by an intermediate host.
(12) One may be infected by tapeworms by eating under cooked beef, pork, or fish. Symptoms include irregular
appetite, abdominal discomfort, anemia, weakness, and nervousness.
22. The passage implies that all of the following are true EXCEPT :
(A) an embryo will cease to develop if not ingested by host.
(B) a tapeworm will continue to live even when segments break off.
(C) the segment farthest back on the tail is the oldest.
(D) tapeworms always float freely in the digestive system.
(A) segments
(B) embryos
(C) eggs
(D) tapeworms
29. What would be the best title for this reading passage?
(A) Parasites
(B) Reproduction of the Tapeworm
(C) The Tapeworm, a Harmful Parasite
(D) Segmented Parasites
(1) After inventing dynamite, Swedish - born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its
universally destructive power too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895,
just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwile
contributions to humanity. Originally, there were five awards : literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace.
Economics was added in 1968, just sixty seven years after the first awards ceremony.
(8) Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest of this sum is used for the awards
which vary from $30.000 to $125,000.
(10) (Every year on December 10, the annyversary of Nobel's death, the award (gold medal. illuminated diploma, and
money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics play an important role in the judge's decisions. Americans
have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.
(14) No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of world war II. Some people have won two
prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.
38. How much money did Nobel leave for the prizes?
(A) $30.000
(B) $125.000
(C) $155.000
(D) $9.000.000
40. The word "legacy" in line 8 means most nearly the same as
(A) Legend
(B) Bequest
(C) Prize
(D) Debt
(1) Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally
this expression of thoughts and feelings have been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier,
communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists,
the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very
picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
(8) Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be
a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a
negative reaction.
(12) Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille ( a system of raised dots read with the fingertips),
signal flags, morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people.
(15) While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human
thoughts and feelings.
45. Which form other than oral speech would be most commonly used among blind people?
(A) Picture signs
(B) Braille
(C) Body language
(D) Signal flags
47. The word "wink" in line 9 means most nearly the same as
(A) close one eye briefly
(B) close two eyes briefly
(C) bob the head up and down
(D) shake the head from side to side.
48. Sign language is said to be very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally EXCEPT for
(A) spelling
(B) ideas
(C) whole words
(D) expressions
