There are more than two hundred varieties of sausage that differ according to the meat, the
fineness of the chopping or grinding, the seasonings used, and the processing method (smoking,
cooking, drying) employed Per capita sausage consumption in the United States is now an astounding eleven kilograms a year, with the ubiquitous frankfurter, or wiener, accounting for about thirty percent of the total
The frankfurter (after the German city) is better known in the United States as the “hot dog,” especially when in its traditional presentation in a long bread bun, and so popular is it that fourteen billion are eaten every year in the United States, equivalent to sixty for every man, woman, and child
in the country – including vegetarians The contents are strictly governed by law, with the USDA
requiring manufacturers to use muscle meat In fact, heart, liver, and kidney may also be used but only if this is openly stated Contents must be eighty-five percent meat, ten percent water, and 2.5 percent salt, with the remainder comprising spices and preservatives Casings were traditionally made from animal intestines, but now ninety percent of the hot dogs consumed are skinless
And how did the American culinary delight originate? As with so many brilliant inventions, the answer is “almost by accident” At the St Loius Exposition of 1904 customers wanted to be able
to eat while walking about, and vendors provided them with white cotton gloves to eat with After
the sausages had been eaten, they expected the gloves to be returned, but the customers did not
oblige So the vendors began serving the frankfurters in special bread buns
The idea caught on, and, ever since, the hot dog, served with all kinds of extras (mustard, ketchup, relish, onions, cheese, chili con carne, sauerkraut,…), has remained particularly welcome at ourdoor events such as picnics, barbecues, and, above all, baseball games

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 from 43 to 50.
What geologists call the Basin and Range Province in the United States roughly coincides in its northern portions with the geographic province known as the Great Basin The Great Basin is surrounded on the west by the Sierra Nevada and on the east by the Rocky Mountains; it has no
outlet to the sea The prevailing winds in the Great Basin are from the west Warm, moist air from
the Pacific Ocean is forced upward as it crosses the Sierra Nevada At the higher altitudes it cools and the moisture it carries is precipitated as rain or snow on the western slopes of the mountains That which reaches the Basin is air wrung dry of moisture What little water falls there as rain or snow, mostly in the winter months, evaporates on the broad, flat desert floors It is, therefore, an environment in which organism battle for survival Along the rare watercourses, cottonwoods and willows eke out a sparse existence In the upland ranges, pinion pines and junipers struggle to hold their own
But the Great Basin has not always been so arid Many of its dry, closed depressions were once filled with water Owens Valley, Panamint Valley, and Death Valley were once a string of interconnected lakes The two largest of the ancient lakes of the Great Britain were Lake Lahontan and Lake Bonneville The Great Salt Lake is all that remains of the latter, and Pyramid Lake is one of
the last briny remnants of the former.
There seem to have been several periods within the last tens of thousands of years when
water accumulated in these basins The rise and fall of the lakes were undoubtedly linked to the
advances and retreats of the great ice sheets that covered much of the northern part of the North American continent during those times Climatic changes during the Ice Ages sometimes brought cooler, wetter weather to mid-latitude deserts worldwide, including those of the Great Basin The broken valleys of the Great Basin provided ready receptacles for this moisture
Question 43 What is the geographical relationship between the Basin and Range Province and the Great Basin?
A The Great Basin is in the northern part of the Basin and Range Province
B The Great Basin is west of the Basin and Range Province
C The Great Basin is larger than the Basin and Range Province
D The Great Basin is mountainous; the Basin and Range Province is flat desert
Question 44 According to the passage, what does the Great Basin lack?
A Access to the ocean B Dry air C Winds from the west D Snow
Question 45 The word “prevailing” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to
A most frequent B occasional C gentle D most dangerous
Question 46 It can be inferred that the climate in the Great Basin is dry because
A precipitation falls in the nearby mountains
B the weather patterns are so turbulent
C the altitude prevents precipitation
Trang 5D the winds are not strong enough to carry moisture
Question 47 Why does the author mention Owens Valley, Panamint Valley, and Death Valley in the second paragraph?
A To give examples of depressions that once contained water
B To explain their geographical formation
C To compare the characteristics of the valleys with the characteristics of the lakes
D To explain what the Great Britain is like today
