Question 5: 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 (5p)
America's foods began to affect the rest of the world - not only raw
staples such as wheat and corn, but a new American cuisine that spread
throughout the world. American emphasis on convenience and rapid
consumption is best represented in fast foods such as hamburgers, French
fries, and soft drinks, which almost all Americans have eaten. By the 1960s
and 1970s fast foods became one of America's strongest exports as
franchises for McDonald's and Burger King spread through Europe and
other parts of the world, including the former Soviet Union and Communist
China. Traditional meals cooked at home and consumed at a leisurely pace
- common in the rest of the world, and once common in the United States -
gave way to quick lunches and dinners eaten on the run as other countries
mimicked American cultural patterns.
By the late 20th century, Americans had become more conscious of
their diets, eating more poultry, fish, and fresh fruits and vegetables and
fewer eggs and less beef. They also began appreciating fresh ingredients
and livelier flavor, and cooks began to rediscover many world cuisines in
forms closer to their original. In California, chefs combined the fresh fruits
and vegetables available year-round with ingredients and spices sometimes
borrowed from immigrant kitchens to create an innovative cooking style
that was lighter than traditional French, but more interesting and varied
than typical American cuisine. Along with the state's wines, California
cuisine eventually took its place among the acknowledged forms of fine
dining.

46. Fast foods such as hamburgers, French fries, and soft drinks
A. are traditional meals of the US people.
B. are popular because of their nutritious values.

47. Which of the following is similar in meaning to the world cuisine?
A. Cooking B. Style of cooking C. Cookery D.
Cook
48. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. America's cuisine used to have an influence on many countries.

B. McDonald's and Burger King are American food suppliers successful in
Europe and other parts of the world.
C. Traditional meals cooked at home and consumed at a leisurely pace are
not common in the USA.
D. Fast foods became one of America's strongest exports.
49. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. By the late 20th century, fast foods had lost their popularity in the USA.
B. Americans used to eat more poultry, fish, and, fresh fruits and
vegetables than they do now.
C. Cooking styles of other countries began to affect America's by the late
20th century.
D. Fewer eggs and less beef in the American diet made them fitter.
50. An innovative cooking style was created in California
