MosL food poisoning is caused by five groups of bacteria - puma tobaclen, Saistonclia, clostridium, List#ria and Staphylococcus Even small numbers of Salmonella cells can cause food poisoning, but other types of bacteria have to be present in large numbers before they make food dangerous In other words, they have been allowed to grow and multiply for a sufficiently long time to produce large numbers of cells
If Salmonella and Listeria are to cause problems, living cells of the bacteria have to be present in the food when it is eaten Normal, but thorough, cooking should destroy these cells and render them harmless
Staphylococci are different because they produce toxin when they are growing Even
though cooking may destroy the bacteria cells, it is unlikely to inactivate the toxin
Food producers do their best to make sure that food is not contaminated with any food-poisoning organisms But if some should be in food, the maintenance of a cold temperature can do a lot to minimize growth and therefore the risk of food poisoning
Câu hỏi 41: What is the main idea of the passage?
A Four groups of bacteria How food poisoning is caused
C How bacteria multiply The risk of food poisoning
- Câu héi 42: How is Salmonella different from other bacteria?
A It multiples more quickly On small amount can poison you C Only living cells cause poisoning It causes other bacteria to grow
Cau héi 43: How is Staphylococcus different from other bacteria? A The cells are destroyed by thorough cooking
The cells take a long time to grow and multiply The poison is not destroyed by cooking
A large number of cells are needed to poison you
Cau hoi 44: How does refrigeration help to reduce the risk of poisoning?
A It kills bacteria that are in the food It stops the bacteria growing any more
C It prevents new bacteria entering the food It makes bacteria grow more slowly Câu hỏi 45: Some in ‘But if some should be in food’ (Para; lệ refers †o

The international symbol of British cuisine - fish and chips, wrapped in paper - may never be the same again The industry associated with the national delicacy is facing increasing
pressure to reduce environmental pollution caused by its discarded packaging
An estimated 3.6 billion containers for take-away British chips and their continental cousins,
French fries and pomfrites, are thrown away each year Apart from conventional paper wrapping, it is estimated that almost one billion plastic and cardboard plates are dumped each year in Britain alone after fish and chip lovers have had their fill
Later this month, a new product will be launched which, its manufacturers claim, will
help reduce the 22,000 tons of European paper associated with the food The new product, an
edible chip cone, is biodegradable and, say its makers, even tastes like a chip Fast food shops will now be able to serve portions in the new cone, which can be eaten itself, after its contents have been consumed, therefore leaving no litter
The Dutch manufacturers, Viko, point out that if people prefer not to eat the product, they can throw it in a litter bin where it will decompose naturally within a few days
Trang 4The new cone - approximately 10 inches high, the right size for a medium portion of chips - is made from powdered potato, wheat flour, vegetable oil and salt The packaging, however, is more expensive than the conventional wrapping and the customer may have to foot the bill for
extra cost

bò, British people’s eating habit

C People can eat it D It lasts longer than paper Câu hỏi 49: All of the following are the ingredients of the new cone EXCEPT
A powdered potato B wheat flour C salt \ D vegetable
Câu hõi 50: Chips served in the new con
A will be larger than those served in paper wrapping Ề will taste better than those served in plastic Q will cost more than those served in paper - D will be easier to eat than other chips

The international symbol of British cuisine - fish and chips, wrapped in paper - may never be the same again The industry ässociated with the natioral đelicacy is facing increasing pressure to reduce environmental pollution caused by its discarded packaging
An estimated 3.6 billion containers for take-away British chips and their continental cousins,
French fries and pomfrites, are thrown away each year Apart from conventional Paper wrapping, it is estimated that almost one billion plastic and cardboard plates are dumped each year in Britain alone after fish and chip lovers have had their fill :
Later this month, a new product will be launched which, its manufacturers claim, will help
reduce the 22,000 tons of European paper associated with the food The new product, an edible chip cone, is biodegradable and, say its makers, even tastes like a chip Fast food shops will now
be able to serve portions in the new cone, which can be eaten itself, after its contents have been consumed, therefore leaving no litter
The Dutch manufacturers, Viko, point out that if people prefer not to eat the product, they can throw it in a litter bin where it will decompose naturally within a few days
The new cone - approximately 10 inches, high, the right size for a medium portion of chips - is
made from powdered potato, wheat flour, vegetable oil and salt The packaging, however, is more expensive than the conventional wrapping and the custorner may have to foot the bill for extra
cost
The passage is mainly concerned with :
A the yearly large amount of discarded packaging in Britain
B the British people’s eating habit C a new kind of food
Ð a new product that is environmentally friendly Fish and chips cause environmental problems because A people buy more than they can eat
B people are careless with the wrapping
C people prefer to use plastic plates
D the plates and wrapping are not used again How will the new product solve the problem?
A It can be used again B It lasts longer than paper C People can eat it - D It is in a different shape, All of the following are the ingredients of the new cone EXCEPT =
A vegetable B wheat flour C powdered potato D salt
Chips served in the new cone 4
A will be easier to eat than other chips
B will be larger than those served in paper wrapping C will cost more than those served in paper
D will taste better than those served in plastic

high salt content The British pressure group Consensus Action on Salt and Health (CASH) reported recently that many take-away salads and other foods aimed at the health conscious actually contain mare: salt.than a Big Mac and fries This’ means many British people: are
unknowingly overdosing on salt ona regular, if not daily, basis This report comes hot on the heels of an earlier CASH finding that many pre-packaged sandwiches are up to seven times
saltier than a bag of potato chips The danger is that high salt consumption causes high bload_
pressure, strokes and heart attacks :
-CASH looked at 156 ready-made salads and pasta dishes from Britain’s leading food retailers and fast-food outlets The researchers discovered that compared with a Big Mac and small fries, which has 2.7 grams of salt, a noodle salad from a chain called EAT contained 4/4 grams per portion This is almost three-quarters of the 6-gram recommended daily salt limit for an adult Twenty per cent of the meals contained more salt than is ideal Professor Graham
MacGregor of CASH said: "Many people think of a salad as a healthy lunch [and] in mariy
cases this is true.” He added: “We would encourage people to look out for low-salt, low-fat salads as a good lunchtime option.” However, he warned: “There are some salads out there which really ought to carry a health warning, rather than be thought of as a healthy option.”
A high salt intake of salt can cause all of the following EXCEPT
A strokes B insomnia - C high blood pressure D heart attacks According to the passage it is mistakenly thought that all salads are 3

Ill READING COMPREHENSION (Questions 41 - 60)
A Read the following passage carefully For questions 41- 45, choose the one best answer to each
question
1 Leaving your children with their grandparents may be bad for the little ones’ health
This is according to new research in the “International Journal of Obesity” The British study
showed that children who are looked after by their grandparents tend to be more overweight Researchers looked at over 12,000 toddlers between the ages of nine months and three years
5 Their data showed that grandparents increased the risk of obesity in the children by as much as 34 per cent Kids who are looked after by their parents or who go to nurseries had no similar
risk of weight problems The research also showed that children of richer parents were more at
risk, especially if the mother had a management position and/or a university education
Trang 2610 15 41 42 43 44
45 This research could help reduce the rate of obesity in Britain Almost a quarter of pre-
schoolers are overweight or obese These new statistics should send an important message to grandparents — stop filling your grandchildren with snacks and sugary treats We all know how our grandparents like to spoil us It is the same all over the world The research did not look into
why young children are more at risk of obesity with their grandparents However, there are several possible reasons One is that older people might be less aware of proper nutrition and so give their grandchildren unhealthy food Another possible cause is that older people are less active and might not play with the children It might also be that British people in general are
becoming less active

A are responsible for the increasing rate of obesity in children B can increase the risk of obesity by 34%

D tend to overfeed their grandkids

Ma dé thi: 427 _ Trang 4/8
It has been noted that, traditionally, courts have granted divorces on fault grounds: one spouse is deemed to be at fault in causing the divorce More and more today, however, divorces are being granted on a no-fault basis
Proponents of no-fault divorce argue that when a marriage fails, it is rarely the case that one marriage partner is completely to blame and the other blameless A failed marriage is
much more often the result of mistakes by both partners
Another argument in favor of no-fault divorce is that proving fault in court, in a public
arena, is a destructive process that only serves to lengthen the divorce process and that dramatically increases the negative feelings present in a divorce If a couple can reach a decision to divorce without first deciding which partner is to blame, the divorce settlement can be negotiated more easily and equitably and the post-divorce healing process can begin more
Trang 27What does the passage mainly discuss?
A Why no-fault divorces are becoming more common ,
B Negative effects of divorce
C Who is at fault in a divorce D Traditional grounds for divorce The phrase “the other” (line 5) refers to A case
B divorce C partner
D proponent
48 According to the passage, a public trial to prove the fault of one spouse can A result in a shorter divorce process
B bea harmful process

C There has recently been a decrease in no-fault divorces
D People recover more slowly from a no-fault divorce
50 Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage as an argument in favor of no-fault divorce?
A Rarely is only one marriage partner to blame for a divorce B Finding fault in a divorce increases negative feelings
C A no-fault divorce settlement is generally easier to negotiate
D A no-fault divorce generally costs less in legal fees

cars Delays and shutdowns at airports can cause economic losses to airlines and inconvenience
to thousands of travelers Fog at sea has always been a danger to navigation Today, with

condensation sets in This type of fog often occurs along the California coast and the shores of
the Great Lakes Advection fog also forms when air associated with a warm ocean current blows across the surface of a cold current The thick fogs of the Grand Banks off Newfoundland, Canada, are largely of this origin, because here the Labrador Current comes in
Trang 3615 contact with the warm Gulf Stream
