In a study of aspirin's effect on blood clotting in which abstinence from chocolate was required, a large proportion of
participants broke the rules.
Their "offence" led to what is believed to be the first biochemical evidence that a few squares of chocolate a day can
almost halve the risk of heart attack death by decreasing the tendency of tiny particles (or platelets) to clot in narrow
blood vessels.
"What these chocolate offenders taught us is that the chemical in cocoa beans has a biochemical effect similar to
aspirin in reducing platelet clumping, which can be fatal if a clot forms and blocks a blood vessel, causing a heart
attack," said Diane Becker from Johns Hopkins University in Maryland, USA, who led the study.
Becker cautions that this discovery should not become an excuse to indulge in large amounts of chocolate frequently,
since chocolate also contains high amounts of sugar, butter and cream. However just a few squares of dark chocolate
the purest form may be just what the doctor ordered.

For almost 20 years researchers have known that chemicals, called flavonoids, most common in dark chocolate, help
blood flow and lower blood pressure.
This new finding, presented at the American Heart Association's annual scientific sessions in Chicago this week,
identifies the effect of everyday doses of chocolate found in regular foods such as hot chocolate or chocolate bars.
This differs from previous studies which have examined the effects of eating unrealistic doses of flavonoids,
equivalent to several pounds of chocolate a day.
"Eating a little bit of chocolate or having a drink of hot cocoa as part of a regular diet is probably good for personal
health, so long as people don't eat too much of it, and too much of the kind with lots of butter and sugar," said Becker.
In the study, 139 chocolate offenders were disqualified from a larger experiment which aimed to examine the effects
of aspirin on blood clotting. Before the study began, all participants were instructed to follow a strict exercise and diet
regimen and to refrain from smoking or using foods and drinks known to affect blood-clotting activity, like caffeinated

drinks, wine, grapefruit juice and, of course, chocolate.
Platelet samples from both groups (offenders and non-offenders) were run through a mechanical blood vessel
system designed to time how long it takes for platelets to clump together. Chocolate lovers' samples were found to
clot more slowly, on average taking 130 seconds to block the system. Platelets from those who stayed away from
chocolate clotted faster, taking an average of 123 seconds.

A. The most important ingredient in chocolate.
B. The most common chemicals in dark chocolate.
C. The chemical reaction in dark chocolate.
D. The tiny particles in white chocolate.

Question 35: How does chocolate help the heart and the vascular system?
A. It widens the blood vessels. B. It helps the heart pumps better.
C. It helps blood flow more easily. D. It prevents harmful bacteria.
Question 36: Too much of chocolate ____ is not very good for health.

Read the following passage adapted from MS Encarta 2008 and choose the correct answer (corresponding to A, B, C, or
D) to each of the questions that follow.

The work of women has been economically vital since prehistory, although their contributions have varied according
to the structure, needs, customs, and attitudes of society.
In prehistoric times, women and men participated almost equally in hunting and gathering activities to obtain food.
With the development of agricultural communities, women's work revolved more around the home. As urban centres
developed, women sold or traded goods in the marketplace.
From ancient to modern times, four generalizations can be made about women's paid work. (1) Women have worked
because of economic necessity; poor women in particular worked outside the home whether they were unmarried or
married, and especially if their husbands were unable to sustain the family solely through their own work. (2) Women's
indentured work has often been similar to their work at home. (3) Women have maintained the primary responsibility for
raising children, regardless of their paid work. (4) Women have historically been paid less than men and have been
allocated lower-status work.
Some major changes are now occurring in industrial nations, including the steadily increasing proportion of
women in the labour force; decreasing family responsibilities (due to both smaller family size and technological
innovation in the home); higher levels of education for women; and more middle and upper-income women
working for pay or for job satisfaction. Statistically, they have not yet achieved parity of pay or senior appointments in
the workplace in any nation
Artisans working in their own homes not infrequently used the labour of their families. This custom was so
prevalent during the Middle Ages, craft guilds of the period, including some that otherwise excluded women, often
admitted to membership the widows of guild members, providing they met professional requirements. Dressmaking
and lacemaking guilds were composed exclusively of women.
Gradually, the guilds were replaced by the putting-out system, whereby tools and materials were distributed to
workers by merchants; the workers then produced articles on a piecework basis in their homes.
During the 18
th
and early 19
th

centuries, as the Industrial Revolution developed, the putting-out system slowly declined.
Goods that had been produced by hand in the home were manufactured by machine under the factory system. Women
competed more with men for some jobs, but were concentrated primarily in textile mills and clothing factories.
Manufacturers often favoured women employees because of relevant skills and lower wages, and also because
early trade union organization tended to occur first among men. Employees in sweatshops were also preponderantly
women. The result was to institutionalize systems of low pay, poor working conditions, long hours, and other abuses,
which along with child labour presented some of the worst examples of worker exploitation in early industrial
capitalism. Minimum wage legislation and other protective laws, when introduced, concentrated particularly on the
alleviation of these abuses of working women.
Women workers in business and the professions, the so-called white-collar occupations, suffered less from poor
conditions of work and exploitative labour, but were denied equality of pay and opportunity. The growing use of the
typewriter and the telephone after the 1870s created two new employment niches for women, as typists and
telephonists, but in both fields the result was again to institutionalize a permanent category of low-paid, low-status
women's work.
Question 71: When the farming communities developed, women worked __
A. less at home B. more at home C. more outside D. in groups
Question 72: With the development of urban centres, women ____.
A. traded cattle in the marketplace B. stayed at home to take care of their children

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.

Etymologically, anthropology is the science of humans. In fact, however, it is only one of the sciences of humans,
bringing together those disciplines the common aims of which are to describe human beings and explain them on the
basis of the biological and cultural characteristics of the populations among which they are distributed and to
emphasize, through time, the differences and variations of these populations. The concept
of race, on the one hand, and that of culture, on the other, have received special attention; and although their meaning is still
subject to debate, these terms are doubtless the most common of those in the anthropologist's vocabulary.
Anthropology, which is concerned with the study of human differences, was born after the Age of
Discovery had opened up societies that had remained outside the technological civilization of the modern West. In
fact, the field of research was at first restricted to those societies that had been given one unsatisfactory label after another,
"savage," "primitive," "tribal," "traditional," or even "preliterate," "prehistorical," and so
on. What such societies had in common, above all, was being the most "different" or the most foreign to the
anthropologist; and in the early phases of anthropology, the anthropologists were always European or North
American. The distance between the researcher and the object of his study has been a characteristic of
anthropological research; it has been said of the anthropologist that he was the "astronomer of the
sciences of man."
Anthropologists today study more than just primitive societies. Their research extends not only to village
communities within modern societies but also to cities, even to industrial enterprises. Nevertheless, anthropology's

first field of research, and the one that perhaps remains the most important, shaped its specific point of view with
regard to the other sciences of man and defined its theme. If, in particular, it is concerned with generalizing about
patterns of human behaviour seen in all their dimensions and with achieving a total description of social and
cultural phenomena, this is because anthropology has observed small-scale societies, which are simpler or at least
more homogeneous than modern societies and which change at a slower pace. Thus they are easier to see whole.
What has just been said refers especially to the branch of anthropology concerned with the cultural
characteristics of man? Anthropology has, in fact, gradually divided itself into two major spheres, the study
of man's biological characteristics and the study of his cultural characteristics. The reasons for this split are
manifold, one being the rejection of the initial mistakes regarding correlations between race and culture. More

It may seem as if the art of music by its nature would not lend itself to the exploration and expression of
reality characteristic of Romanticism, but that is not so. True, music does not tell stories or paint pictures, but it
stirs feelings and evokes moods, through both of which various kinds of reality can be suggested or expressed. It
was in the rationalist 18
th
century that musicians rather mechanically attempted to reproduce stories and subjects in
sound. These literal renderings naturally failed, and the Romanticists profited from the error. Their discovery of

new realms of experience proved communicable in the first place because they were in touch with the spirit of
renovation, particularly through poetry. What Goethe meant to Beethoven and Berlioz and what German folk tales and
contemporary lyricists meant to Weber, Schumann, and Schubert are familiar to all who are acquainted with the
music of these men.
There is, of course, no way to demonstrate that Beethoven's Egmont music or, indeed, its overture alone
corresponds to Goethe's drama and thereby enlarges the hearer's consciousness of it; but it cannot be an accident
or an aberration that the greatest composers of the period employed the resources of their art for the creation of
works expressly related to such lyrical and dramatic subjects. Similarly, the love of nature stirred Beethoven, Weber,
and Berlioz, and here too the correspondence is feltj and persuades the fit listener that his own experience is being
expanded. The words of-the creators themselves record this new comprehensiveness. Beethoven referred to his activity
of mingled contemplation and composition as dichten, making a poem; and Berlioz tells in his Memoires of the
impetus given to his genius by the music of Beethoven and Weber, by the poetry of Goethe and Shakespeare, and

not least by the spectacle of nature. Nor did the public that ultimately understood their works gainsay

their claims.
It must be added that the Romantic musicians including Chopin, Mendelssohn, Glinka, and Liszt-had at their
disposal greatly improved instruments. The beginning' of the 19th century produced the modern piano, of greater range
and dynamics than theretofore, and made all wind instruments more exact and powerful by the use of keys and valves.
The modern full orchestra was the result. Berlioz, whose classic treatise on instrumentation and orchestration helped to
give it definitive form, was also the first to exploit its resources to the full, in the Symphonic fantastique of 1830. This
work, besides its technical significance just mentioned, can also be regarded as uniting the characteristics of
Romanticism in music, it is both lyrical and dramatic, and, although it makes use of a “story,” that use is not to describe
the scenes but to connect them; its slow movement is a "nature poem" in the Beethovenian manner; the second, fourth,
and fifth movements include "realistic" detail of the most vivid kind; and the opening one is an introspective reverie.
Question 56: Music can suggest or express various kinds of reality by ____.
A. telling stories or minting pictures B. stirring feelings and evoking moods
C. exploring and expressing reality D. depicting nature and reality
Question 57: The word "error" in paragraph 1 refers to _____.
A. the feelings and moods of the Romanticist musicians
B. the exploration and expression of reality of Romanticism
C. the works of the Romanticist musicians in the 18
th
century
D. musicians'mechanical reproduction of stories and subjects

A. the works of the rationalist musicians in the 18
th
century
B. Goethe, German folk tales and contemporary lyricists
C. the thoughts of Beethoven, Weber, and Berlioz
D. the art of music by the rationalist musicians

A. unplanned happening
B. collision or similar incident
C. unusual occurrence D. unpleasant event

consequences of his discoveries; he is as concerned with the possible misuses of his findings as he is with the basic

research in which he is involved. This emerging social and political role of the biologist and all other scientists requires a
weighing of values that cannot be done with the accuracy or the objectivity of a laboratory balance. As a member of
society, it is necessary for a biologist now to redefine his social obligations and his functions, particularly in the
realm of making judgments about such ethical problems as man's control of his environment or his manipulation of
genes to direct further evolutionary development.
As a result of recent discoveries concerning hereditary mechanisms, genetic engineering, by which human
traits are made to order, may soon be a reality. As desirable as it may seem to be, such an accomplishment
would entail many value judgments. Who would decide, for example, which traits should be selected for
change? In cases of genetic deficiencies and disease, the desirability of the change is obvious, but the possibilities
for social misuse are so numerous that they may far outweigh the benefits.
Probably the greatest biological problem of the future, as it is of the present, will be to find ways to curb
environmental pollution without interfering with man's constant effort to improve the quality of his life.
Many scientists believe that underlying the spectre of pollution is the problem of surplus human population. A
rise in population necessitates an increase in the operations of modern industry, the waste products of which
increase the pollution of air, water, and soil. The question of how many people the resources of the Earth can support is
one of critical importance.
Although the solutions to these and many other problems are yet to be found, they do indicate the need for
biologists to work with social scientists and other members of society in order to determine the requirements
necessary for maintaining a healthy and productive planet. For although many of man's present and future
problems may seem to be essentially social, political, or economic in nature, they have biological ramifications
that could affect the very existence of life itself.

Read the following passage adapted from MS Encarta 2008 and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

In early civilizations, citizens were educated informally, usually within the family unit. Education meant simply
learning to live. As civilizations became more complex, however, education became more formal, structured, and
comprehensive. Initial efforts of the ancient Chinese and Greek societies concentrated solely on the education of
males. The post-Babylonian Jews and Plato were exceptions to this pattern. Plato was
apparently the first significant advocate of the equality of the sexes. Women, in his ideal state, would have the same rights
and duties and the same educational opportunities as men. This aspect of Platonic philosophy, however, had little or no
effect on education for many centuries, and the concept of a liberal education for men only, which had been espoused
by Aristotle, prevailed.
In ancient Rome, the availability of an education was gradually extended to women, but they were taught separately
from men. The early Christians and medieval Europeans continued this trend, and single-sex schools for the privileged
classes prevailed through the Reformation period. Gradually, however, education for women on a separate but equal
basis to that provided for men was becoming a clear responsibility of society. Martin Luther appealed for civil
support of schools for all children. At the Council of Trent in the 16
th
century, the Roman Catholic Church encouraged
the establishment of free primary schools for children of all classes. The concept of universal primary education,
regardless of sex, had been born, but it was still in the realm of the single-sex school.
In the late 19
th
and early 20
th
centuries, co-education became a more widely applied principle of educational
philosophy. In Britain, Germany, and the Soviet Union the education of boys and girls in the same classes became an
accepted practice. Since World War II, Japan and the Scandinavian countries have also adopted relatively
universal co-educational systems. The greatest negative reaction to co-education has been felt in the teaching systems
of the Latin countries, where the sexes have usually been separated at both primary and secondary levels, according to

local conditions.
A number of studies have indicated that girls seem to perform better overall and in science in particular in single-
sex classes: during the adolescent years, pressure to conform to stereotypical female gender roles may disadvantage
girls in traditionally male subjects, making them reluctant to volunteer for experimental work while taking part in
lessons. In Britain, academic league tables point to high standards achieved in girls' schools. Some educationalists
therefore suggest segregation of the sexes as a good thing, particularly in certain areas, and a number of schools
are experimenting with the idea.
Question 56: Ancient education generally focused its efforts on ____.

Biological diversity has become widely recognized as a critical conservation issue only in the past two decades.
The rapid destruction of the tropical rain forests, which are the ecosystems with the highest known species
diversity on Earth, has awakened people to the importance and fragility of biological diversity. The high rate of
species extinctions in these environments is jolting, but it is important to recognize the significance of biological
diversity in all ecosystems. As the human population continues to expand, it will negatively affect one after another
of Earth’s ecosystems. In terrestrial ecosystems and in fringe marine ecosystems (such as wetlands), the most
common problem is habitat destruction. In most situations, the result is irreversible. Now humans are beginning to
destroy marine ecosystems through other types of activities, such as disposal and runoff of poisonous waste; in less

than two centuries, by significantly reducing the variety of species on Earth, they have irrevocably redirected the
course of evolution.
Certainly, there have been periods in Earth’s history when mass extinctions have occurred. The extinction of the
dinosaurs was caused by some physical event, either climatic or cosmic. There have also been less dramatic
extinctions, as when natural competition between species reached an extreme conclusion. Only 0.01 percent of the
species that have lived on Earth have survived to the present, and it was largely chance that determined which
species survived and which died out.
However, nothing has ever equaled the magnitude and speed with which the human species is altering the
physical and chemical world and demolishing the environment. In fact, there is wide agreement that it is the rate of
change humans are inflicting, even more than the changes themselves, that will lead to biological devastation. Life
on Earth has continually been in flux as slow physical and chemical changes have occurred on Earth, but life needs
time to adapt-time for migration and genetic adaptation within existing species and time for the proliferation of
new genetic material and new species that may be able to survive in new environments.
