Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes sensitive to a substance that is harmless or even wholesome for the average person. Milk, wheat, and egg, for example, rank among the most healthful and widely used foods. Yet these foods can cause persons sensitive to them to suffer greatly. At first, the body of the individual is not harmed by coming into contact with the substance. After a varying interval of time, usually longer than a few weeks, the body becomes sensitive to it, and an allergy has begun to develop. Sometimes it's hard to figure out if you have a food allergy, since it can show up so many different ways. Your symptoms could be caused by many other problems. You may have rashes, hives, joint pains mimicking arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression. The most common food allergies are to milk, eggs, seafood, wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes. Many of these allergies will not develop if these foods are not fed to an infant until her or his intestines mature at around seven months. Breast milk also tends to be protective. Migraines can be set off by foods containing tyramine, phenathylamine, monosodium glutamate, or sodium nitrate. Common foods which contain these are chocolate, aged cheeses, sour cream, red wine, pickled herring, chicken livers, avocados, ripe bananas, cured meats, many Oriental and prepared foods (read the labels!). Some people have been successful in treating their migraines with supplements of B-vitamins, particularly B6 and niacin. Children who are hyperactive may benefit from eliminating food additives, especially colorings, and foods high in salicylates from their diets. A few of these are almonds, green peppers, peaches, tea, grapes. This is the diet made popular by Benjamin Feingold, who has written the book Why your Child is Hyperactive. Other researchers have had mixed results when testing whether the diet is effective. Question 36.The topic of this passage is ____. A. reactions to foods B. food and nutrition C. infants and allergies D. a good diet Question 37. According to the passage, the difficulty in diagnosing allergies to foods is due to ____.

Situated in the central mountains of Alaska, a peak named Denali rises 20,320 feet above sea level. It is the highest peak in North America and the center of Denali National Park. One of America's greatest wilderness areas, the park has had limited access to visitors, but in spite of this tourism rose from under 6,000 visitors in 1950 to over 546,000 visitors in 1990. The increasing popularity of this park is prompting serious discussions about the future use of Denali as well as how to preserve wilderness areas in general. One important issue of land use arises when parts of National Parks are owned by individuals. In Denali, though most of the land in this vast tract of more than a million acres is owned by the National Park Service, several thousand acres are still privately owned as mining tracts. These mining tracts in Denali were once abundant sources of gold, but they were sources of heavy metals such as arsenic and lead that pollute drivers and streams. Environmentalists were successful in getting the government to require mining companies to submit statements showing the potential impact of a mining project before they are allowed to begin mining. Because of this requirement, many individuals closed their mines and some sold their land to the National Park Service. Some land owners, however, are wondering if it is better to sell their land to the government or keep it for possible future use. Tourism in this previously remote area is bound to rise, as more roads are built to provide easier access to the park. This increase in the number of visitors creates a demand for hotels and other real estate development. The economic implications of this are of interest to the land owners, but are dismaying to those interested in preserving the wilderness. Question 46. What is the primary focus of this passage? A. controversies over land use in Denali B. miners selling their property in Denali C. Alaska building more roads to Denali D. limiting tourist access to Denali Question 47. The word "prompting" in line 5 could best be replaced by which of the following? A. promising B. sanctioning C. initiating D. trapping Question 48. The word "arises" in line 7 could be best replaced by ____. A. surrenders B. occurs C. volunteers D. prospers Question 49. The word "tract" as used in line 8 refers to which of the following? A. trail B. resort C. frontier D. expanse Question 50. Which of the following is most similar to the word "abundant" in line 10? A. plentiful B. sparse C. hopeful D. absolute Question 51. According to the passage, which of the following are pollutants in the Denali area? A. gold B. pesticides C. human waste D. arsenic Question 52. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the phrase "potential impact" in line 13? A. approximate cost B. expected value C. proposed size D. possible effects Question 53. The author infers that some mine owners might hesitate to sell their land to the Park Service for which of the following reasons? A. There may be increasing demand for the ore in the mines. B. They might want to move to the towns. C. They might receive more money selling their land to developers. D. They might want to build a house on their property. Question 54. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage? A. to demonstrate the changes in Denali National Park B. to use Denali as an example of common park issues C. to introduce the wonders of the wilderness area of Denali D. to explain the problems occurring in Denali Park Question 55. Which of the following would most likely be the topic of the next paragraph in this passage? A. conflict between land owners and environmentalists B. the role of the National Park Service in development C. tourist needs in Denali Park D. wildlife in the park Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks.
