(6)V READING COMPREHENSION (20 pts) PASSAGE 1: ( 10 pts)
Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question.
The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well., especially cancer of the colon People of different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the characteristic foods they consume
That food is related to illness is not a new discovery In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites (commonly used to preserve color in meat) as well as other food additives caused cancer Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which ingredients on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful
The additives that we eat are not all so direct Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows
Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue
A healthy diet is directly related to good health Often we are unaware of detrimental substances we ingest Sometimes well-meaning farmers or others who not realize the consequences add these substances to food without our knowledge
41 How has science done a disservice to people?
A Because of science, disease caused by contaminated food has been virtually eradicated B It caused a lack of information concerning the value of food
C As a result of scientific intervention, some potentially harmful substances have been added to our food
(7)A supine B unlikely C healthy D predisposed 43 What are nitrates used for?
A They preserve flavor in packaged foods B They preserve the colour of meat C They are the objects of research D They cause the animals to become fatter
44 FDA means
A Food Direct Additives B Final Difficult Analysis C Food and Drug Administration D Federal Dairy Additives 45 The word “these” refers to .
A meats B colors C researchers D nitrates and nitrites 46 The word “carcinogenic” is closest in meaning to .
A trouble-making B color-retaining C money-making D cancer-causing 47 All of the following statements are TRUE except
A Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons
B Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals
C Researchers have known about the potential hazards of food additives for more than forty-five years
D Food may cause forty percent of the cancer in the world 48 The word “additives” is closest in meaning to .
A added substances B dangerous substances C natural substances D benign substances
49 What is the best title for this passage?
A Harmful and Harmless Substances in Food B Improving Health through a Natural Diet C The Food You Eat Can Affect Your Health D Avoiding Injurious Substances in Food 50 The word “ fit” is closest in meaning to .
A athletic B suitable C tasty D adaptable

(8)PASSAGE (10 pts)
Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question.
Commuting is the practice of travelling a long distance to a town or city to work each day, and then travelling home again in the evening The word commuting comes from commutation ticket, a US rail ticket for repeated journeys, called a season ticket in Britain Regular travellers are called commuters
The US has many commuters A few, mostly on the East Coast, commute by train or subway, but most depend on the car Some leave home very early to avoid the traffic jams, and sleep in their cars until their office opens Many people accept a long trip to work so that they can live in quiet bedroom communities away from the city, but another reason is ‘white flight’ In the 1960s most cities began to desegregate their schools, so that there were no longer separate schools for white and black children Many white families did not want to send their children to desegregated schools, so they moved to the suburbs, which have their own schools, and where, for various reasons, few black people live
Millions of people in Britain commute by car or train Some spend two or three hours a day travelling, so that they and their families can live in suburbia or in the countryside Cities are surrounded by commuter belts Part of the commuter belt around London is called the stockbroker belt because it contains houses where rich business people live Some places are becoming dormitory towns, because people sleep there but take little part in local activities
Most commuters travel to and from work at the same time, causing the morning and evening rush hours, when buses and trains are crowded and there are traffic jams on the roads Commuters on trains rarely talk to each other and spend their journey reading, sleeping or using their mobile phones, though this is not popular with other passengers Increasing numbers of people now work at home some days of the week, linked to their offices by computer, a practice called telecommuting.
(9)(Extracted from Oxford Guide to British and American Culture, Oxford
University Press, 2000)
51 Which of the following definitions of commuting would the author of this passage most
probably agree with?
A Travelling to work and then home again in a day within a rural district
B Travelling for hours from a town or city to work in the countryside every day C Regularly travelling a long distance between one’s place of work and one’s home D Using a commutation ticket for special journeys in all seasons of the year
52 The word “repeated” in paragraph most probably means .
A buying a season ticket again B happening again and again C saying something again D doing something once again
53 The passage mentions that many Americans are willing to travel a long distance to work in
order to be able to live in .
A quiet neighbourhoods B comfortable bedrooms C city centres D noisy communities 54 Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A The US has considerably more commuters than Britain
B Commuting helps people in the US and Britain save a lot of time C Britain has considerably more commuters than the US
D Both the US and Britain have a great number of commuters 55 Which of the following is NOT true about the London commuter belt?
A It surrounds London B It is in central London
C It is home to some wealthy business people D It is like “bedroom communities” in the US
56 It can be inferred from the passage that dormitory towns in Britain are places where
people .
A stay for the night B contribute to the local community C are employed locally D take part in local activities
57 As mentioned in the passage, commuters usually .
(10)C go home from work at different hours D cause traffic congestion on the roads 58 The phrase “linked to” in paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A shared with B satisfied with C connected to D related to 59 All of the following are measures to reduce the number of cars coming into town each day in
the US and/or Britain EXCEPT .
A traffic lanes for car pooling B free car parks in the city centre C park-and-ride schemes D car pooling/sharing
60 The word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .
A travelling together B car pool C driving alone D petrol/gas
