Task 2: READING COMPREHENSION
Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below.
Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture from food helped to preserve it,
and that the easiest way to do it was to expose the food to sun and wind, In this way the North
American Indians produced pemmican (dried meat ground into powder and made into cakes),
the Scandinavians made stock fish and the Arabs dried dates and apricots.
All foods contain water – cabbage and other leaf vegetables contain as much as 93%
wave, potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean meat 75% and fish anything from 80% to
60% depending on how fatty it is. If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which
cause food to bad is checked.
Fruit is sun-dried in Asia Minor, Greece, Spain and other Mediterranean countries, and
also in California, South Africa and Australia. The methods used carry, but in general the fruit is
spread out on trays in drying yards in the hot sun. In order to prevent darkening, pears, peaches
and apricots are exposed to the fumes of burning sulphur before drying. Plums for making
prunes, and certain varieties of grapes for making raisins and currants, are dipped in an alkaline
solution in order to crack the skins of the fruit slightly and remove their wax coating, so
increasing the rate of drying.
Nowadays most of foods are dried mechanically; the conventional method of such
dehydration is to put food in chambers through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about
1100C at entry to about 450C at exit. This is usual method for drying such things as vegetables,
minced meat, and fish.
Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated
horizontal steel cylinder or by spraying them into a chamber through which a current of hot air
passes. In the first case, the dried material is scraped off the roller as a thin film which is then
broken up into small, though still relatively coarse flakes. In the second process it falls to the
bottom of the chamber as a fine powder. Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are
required, as in soup, the ingredients are dried separately and then mixed.
Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans of
frozen, and they do not need to be stored in special conditions. For these reasons they are
invaluable to climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space. They are
also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them.
81. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Water: the main component of food.

C. put a tick
D. examined carefully
84. In the process of drying certain kinds of fruits, sulphur fumes help
.
A. remove their wax coating
B. kill of bacteria
C. maintain their color

Task 2: WRITING A PARAGRAPH (1 pt)
Mobile phone should be banned in secondary school. What is your point of view?
In about 120 to 150 words, write a paragraph to express your ideas.
Note: You are not allowed to include any personal information such as your name, your
school’s name, your address ... in your writing.
Mobile phone is one of the greatest inventions in our life today. Some parents think that
mobile phone can bring many benefits in helping them to communicate with their children,
especially in emergencies whereas the others believe that it is not good for children, especially
for secondary and high school students. I am strongly convinced by the latter idea for the
following reasons. Firstly, the abuse of using cell phone will affect the overall health of the
user, especially their brains. A mobile phone is designed to transmit radio waves in order to
find a signal. these waves will affect users’ health. Secondly, the multi-functions of a cell
phone turns out as a addictive to children, which makes them neglect their studies. The
children do not know how to use the phone on the right purposes. In addition, children are
curious to try new things and excited about games so that they are very quick to stick to
entertainment devices because music, games and movies on their phones connected to the
Internet are available all the time. That leads children focusing on the entertainment world
rather than learning. Even phones are used as recording tools for school subjects. Therefore,
parents should consider cell phones as harmful devices affecting the children's learning. In
short, secondary and high students should be banned to use cell phone by their parents and
teachers for their bright future. They will be allowed to have it only when they become mature
and aware of their responsibilities for their life.
