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.
Who talk more – men or women? Most people believe that women talk more However, linguist Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, says that this is a stereotype According to Tannen, women are more verbal – talk more – in private situations, where they use conversation as the “glue” to hold relationships together But, she says, men talk more in public situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status Tannen points out that we can see these differences even in children Little girls often play with one “best friend”, their play includes a lot of conversation Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually involves more doing than talking In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better at mathematics
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference Researchers studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents They found evidence that parents talk very differently to their son than they to their daughters The startling conclusion was that parents use more language with their girls Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters, they use more descriptive language and more details There is also far more talk about emotions, especially sadness, with daughters than with sons

Carbohydrates, which are sugars, are an essential part of a healthy diet They provide the main source of energy for the body, and they also function to flavor and sweeten foods Carbohydrates range from simple sugars like glucose to complex sugars such as amylose and amylopectin. Nutritionists estimate that carbohydrates should make up about one-fourth to one-fifth of a person's diet This translates to about 75-100 grams of carbohydrates per day
A diet that is deficient in carbohydrates can have an adverse effect on a person's health When the body lacks a sufficient amount of carbohydrates it must then use its protein supplies for energy, a process called gluconeogenesis This, however, results in a lack of necessary protein, and further health difficulties may occur A lack of carbohydrates can also lead to ketosis, a build-up of ketones in the body that causes fatigue, lethargy, and bad breath

A profess B dissolve C neglect D serve

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer:
The history of clinical nutrition, or the study of the relationship between health and how the body takes in and utilizes food substances, can be divided into four distinct eras: the first began in the nineteenth century and extended into the early twentieth century when it was recognized for the first time that food contained constituents that were essential for human function and that different foods provided different amounts of these essential agents Near the end of this era, research studies demonstrated that rapid weight loss was associated with nitrogen imbalance and could only be rectified by providing adequate dietary protein associated with certain foods
The second era was initiated in the early decades of the twentieth century and might be called "the vitamin period." Vitamins came to be recognized in foods, and deficiency syndromes were described As vitamins became recognized as essential food constituents necessary for health, it became tempting to suggest that every disease and condition for which there had been no previous effective treatment might be responsive to vitamin therapy At that point in time, medical schools started to become more interested in having their curricula integrate nutritional concepts into the basic sciences Much of the focus of this education was on the recognition of vitamin deficiency symptoms Herein lay the beginning of what ultimately turned from ignorance to denial of the value of nutritional therapies in medicine Reckless claims were made for effects of vitamins that went far beyond what could actually be achieved from the use of them
(18)skyrocketing and were quick to supply practicing physicians with generous samples of vitamins and literature extolling the virtue of supplementation for a variety of health-related conditions Expectations as to the success of vitamins in disease control were exaggerated As is known in retrospect, vitamin and mineral therapies are much less effective when applied to health-crisis conditions than when applied to long-term problems of under nutrition that lead to chronic health problems

(22)Many of more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxides and nitrogen oxides are found in nature As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil On a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities
However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city In such region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles The result is an concentration of noxious chemicals in the air The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level Carbon monoxide, however has a natural level of ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm

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.
Water scarcity is fast becoming one of the major limiting factors in world crop production In many areas, poor agricultural practices have led to increasing desertification and the loss of formerly arable lands Consequently, those plant species that are well adapted to survival in dry climates are being looked at for an answer in developing more efficient crops to grow on marginally arable lands.
Plants use several mechanisms to ensure their survival in desert environments Some involve purely mechanical and physical adaptations, such as the shape of the plant's surface, smaller leaf size, and extensive root systems Some of the adaptations are related to chemical mechanisms Many plants, such as cacti, have internal gums and mucilage which give them water-retaining properties Another chemical mechanism is that of the epicuticular wax layer This wax layer acts as an impervious cover to protect the plant It prevents excessive loss of internal moisture It also protects the plant from external aggression, which can come from inorganic agents such as gases, or organic agents which include bacteria and plant pests
Researchers have proposed that synthetic waxes with similar protective abilities could be prepared based on knowledge of desert plants If successfully developed, such a compound could be used to greatly increase a plant's ability to maintain health in such adverse situations as inadequate water supply, limited fertilizer availability, attack by pests, and poor storage after harvesting

A decreasing water supply B desertification
C factors limiting crop production D developing efficient plants Questions 46: The word “arable” in the 1st paragraph is closest in meaning to

(29)C The small root system D The high water system
Questions 48: The word “extensive” in the 2nd paragraph is closest in meaning to _
A spongy B widespread C comprehensive D shallow
Questions 49: Which is one of the ways in which the epicuticular wax protects the plant? A It helps the plant to attack aggressors.
B It guards against bacteria.
C It releases gases against plant pests.
D It helps the plant to avoid excessive moisture intake
Questions 50: The word “It” in the 2nd paragraph refers to
A the epicuticular wax layer B the loss of internal moisture C an impervious plant like cover D another chemical mechanism
Questions 51: The word “aggression” in the 2nd paragraph is closest in meaning to _
A surroundings B conditions C attack D agitation
Questions 52: What is an example of an inorganic agent that may attack plants?
A Pests B Gas C Bacteria D Insects
Questions 53: It can be inferred that synthetic stimulate waxes A have been determined to be impervious to organic and inorganic agents B have not succeeded
C have not been developed yet D have the quality of causing bacteria
Questions 54: All of the following are examples of an adverse situation for crops EXCEPT A pest aggression B inadequate water C insufficient fertilize D proper storage 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.
