REVIEW FOR THE FINAL EXAM
I. READING COMPREHENSION
A. 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
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.

The scarcity of tigers and African elephants is more and more serious. They are
endangered because poachers hunt them in order to sell tiger pelts and elephant ivory.
At least 4,000 elephants are killed each year in order to meet the global demand for ivory,
which is used to make carvings, jewelry and other products although it is illegal to sell ivory
since 1989 anywhere.

“Americans should be aware that there is still a problem with elephant poaching and loss
to the illegal ivory trade,” Ginette Hemley, Fund’s vice president for species conservation, told
The Washington Post in September. And so our message is “Don’t buy it, and don’t take that
chance”.
A Wildlife Fund report states that the United States seized 8,300 illegal ivory items
between 1995 and 2002. Each week there are about 1,000 ivory auctions, the report said.
As for tigers, their parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine. Tiger bones are used as
a pain reliever in traditional medicine. Even tiger’s whiskers are sold because some people in
Asia think they are a good-luck charm – like a rabbit’s foot in the United States. “ Part of our
job is education,” said Professor Dillon. “ The other part is law enforcement. So we have more

than one strategy.”
