Passage Read the following passage and choose the best option to complete the blank or answer the question
Most human diets contain between 10 and 15 percent of their total calories as protein The rest of the dietary energy comes from carbohydrates, fats, and in some people, alcohol The proportion of calories from fats varies from 10 percent in poor communities to 40 percent or more in rich communities
In addition to providing energy, fats have several other functions in the body The fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K, are dissolved in fats, as their name implies Good sources of these vitamins have high oil or fat content, and the vitamins are stored in the body’s fatty tissues In the diet, fats cause food to remain longer in the stomach, thus increasing the feeling of fullness for some time after a meal is eaten Fats add variety, taste, and texture to foods, which accounts for the popularity of fried foods Fatty deposits in the body have an insulating and protective value The curves of the human female body are due mostly to strategically located fat deposits
Whether a certain amount of fat in the diet is essential to human health is not definitely known When rats are fed a fat-free diet, their growth eventually ceases, their skin becomes inflamed and scaly, and their reproductive systems are damaged Two fatty acids, linoleic and arachidonic acids, prevent these abnormalities and hence are called essential fatty acids They also are required by a number of other animals, but their roles in human beings are debatable Most nutritionists consider linoleic fatty acid an essential nutrient for humans 41 This passage probably appeared in which of the following?
A diet book B A book on basic nutrition
C A cookbook D A popular women’s magazine
(5)A forms B needs C jobs D sources 44 The phrase “stored in” in line is closest in meaning to _
A manufactured in B attached to C measured by D accumulated in 45 The author states that fats serve all of the following body functions EXCEPT to
A promote a feeling of fullness B insulate and protect the body
C provide energy D control weight gain
46 The word “essential to” in line 12 is closest in meaning to
A required for B desired for C detrimental to D beneficial to 47 According to the author of the passage, which of the following is true for rats when they are fed a fat free diet?
A They stop growing B They have more babies
C They lose body hair D They require less care
48 Linoleic fatty acid is mentioned in the passage as _
A an essential nutrient for humans B more useful than arachidonic acid C preventing weight gain in rats D a nutrient found in most foods 49 The phrase “these abnormalities” refers to _
A a condition caused by fried foods B strategically located fat deposits C curves on the human female body
D cessation of growth, bad skin, and damaged reproductive systems

A a commonly held view B not yet a proven fact
