SECTION C – READING
I. Read the following passage, and then choose the best answer from A, B, C or D.
Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein,
eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart disease. One egg
K× thi chän HSG tØnh 2007-2008 – TiÕng Anh 12 THPT – B¶ng A (Page 3 of 5)



yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two- thirds of suggested daily cholesterol limit. This
knowledge has caused egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the
development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs. One alternative is to eat substitute eggs.
These eggs substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked.
They have advantage of having lower cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking.
One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second
alternative to regular eggs is a new type of eggs, sometimes called "designer" eggs. These eggs are
produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flaw, and
rice bran. In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of
cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not
raise the blood cholesterol in humans.

Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific
studies to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationships between eggs and human
cholesterol levels have brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of eggs that is the main
determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more
sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people. In fact, there is evidence that certain
dietary fats stimulate the body’s production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it is still
makes sense to limit one’s intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without
regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level.

41. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. to inform people about the relation between eggs and cholesterol
B. to convince people to eat "designer" eggs and egg substitutes
C. to persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten
D. to introduce the idea that dietary fats increase the blood cholesterol level
42. According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart disease?
A. minerals B. cholesterol C. vitamins D. canola oil
43. According to the passage, what has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?
A. dietary changes in hens B. decreased production
C. increasing price D. concerns about cholesterol
44. According to the passage, one egg yolk contains approximately what fraction of suggested daily
limit for human consumption of cholesterol?
A. 1/3 B. 1/2 C. 2/3 D. 3/4
45. According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol?
A. reducing egg intake but not fat intake. B. increasing egg intake and fat intake.
C. increasing egg intake but no fat intake. D. decreasing egg intake and fat intake.

41. 42. 43. 44. 45.

II. Choose the best answer from A, B, C or D to fill in the gaps in the following passage.
If you’re an environmentalist, plastic is a word you tend to say with a sneer or a snarl. It has
