from 36 to 42 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 diseases One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two- thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit This knowledge has driven 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 the advantage of having low cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in banking 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- flat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran In spite of their diet, 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 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 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 certainly 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 dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level Question 36: What is the main purpose of the passage? A To introduce the idea that dietary at increases the blood cholesterol level B To make people know about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol C To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten D To convince people to eat "designer" eggs and egg substitutes Question 37: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases? A Minerals B Cholesterol C Canola oil D Vitamins Question 38: What is meant by the phrase "mixed results"? A The results are blended B The results are a composite of things © Đỗ Bình – THPT Liễn Sơn, Lập Thạch, Vĩnh Phúc – www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 3/5 C The results are inconclusive D The results are mingled together Question 39: 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 Decreasing egg intake and fat intake D Increasing egg intake but not fat intake Question 40: According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol? A 3/4 B 2/3 C 1/2 D 1/3 Question 41: The word "portrayed" could best be replaced by which of the following?
