In the event that you are forewarned of a possible accident, you should put your hands on your ankles and keep your head down until the planes comes to a complete stop. If smoke is present in the cabin, you should keep your head low and cover your face with napkins, towels, or clothing. If possible, wet these for added protection against smoke inhalation. To evacuate as quickly as possible, follow crew commands and do not take personal belongings with you. Do not jump on escape slides before they are fully inflated, and when you jump, do so with your arms and legs extended in front of you.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions. Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high quality protein, eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart disease. One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has caused egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turns has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs. One alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having lower cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking. One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called “designer” eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same CREATED & RELEASED BY ĐỖ BÌNH – THPT LIỄN SƠN, LẬP THẠCH, VĨNH PHÚC- binhbac72@gmail.com amount of cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans. Eggs producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people. In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body’s production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one’s intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating 30 dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level. Question 64: What is the main purpose of this passage? A. to convince people to eat “designer” eggs and egg substitutes. B. to inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol. C. to persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten. D. to introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.

A. hesitate unexpectantly B. drop abruptly C. bounce uncertainly D. rise gently Question 66: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart disease? A. vitamins B. canola oil C. minerals D. cholesterol Question 67: As used in line 5, which of the following could best replace the word “somewhat”? A. a little B. in fact C. a lot D. indefinitely Question 68: According to the passage, what has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs? A. increasing price B. decreased production C. a shrinking market D. dietary changes in hens Question 69: The word “portrayed” in line 12 could best replaced by which of the following? A. destroyed B. described C. tested D. studied Question 70: As used in line 12, what is the meaning of the phrase “back up” ?
