Section C – reading
I Read the following passage, then choose the best answer from A, B, C or D.
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 suggested daily cholesterol limit This knowledge has caused egg sales
to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs One alternative is to eat substitute eggs These eggs substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked They have advantage of having lower cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking One advantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of eggs, sometimes called "designer" eggs These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flaw, and rice bran In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same 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
Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly They cite scientific studies to back
up their claim And, in fact, studies on the relationships between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results It may be that it is not the type of eggs 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 is still makes sense to limit one’s intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fats will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level
36 What is the main purpose of this passage?
A to inform people about the relation between eggs and cholesterol
B to convince people to eat "designer" eggs and egg substitutes
C to persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten
D to introduce the idea that dietary fats increase the blood cholesterol level
37 According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart disease?
38 According to the passage, what has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?
39 According to the passage, one egg yolk contains approximately what fraction of suggested daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol?
40 According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol?
A reducing egg intake but not fat intake B increasing egg intake and fat intake
C increasing egg intake but no fat intake D decreasing egg intake and fat intake
II Choose the best answer from A, B, C or D to fill in the gaps in the following passage.
Water is our life source It makes up 70 per cent of (41) bodies and the average person actually spends 18 months of his life (42) _ the bath or shower
