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 from 36 to 45.
After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools
in the United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard's MBA School has shown a
substantial increase in enrollment in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen
decreases in their enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business
Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower
enrollment rates is expected to continue.
There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is
that many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a
plush job on Wall Street, or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the
entry-level management jobs are going to students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in
English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the
question, "Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting a good job?" The
second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of entry-
level jobs being offered. Business needs are changing, and MBA schools are struggling to meet
the new demands.
Question 61: What is the main focus of this passage?
A. jobs on Wall Street B. types of graduate degrees
C. changes in enrollment for MBA schools D. how schools are changing to reflect the
economy
Question 62: The phrase "two decades" refers to a period of _______.
A. 10 years B. 20 years C. 50 years D. 100 years
Question 63: The word "prosperity" could be best replaced by which of the following?
A. success B. surplus C. nurturing D. education
Question 64: Which of the following business schools has NOT shown a decrease in enrollment?
A. Princeton B. Harvard C. Stanford D. Yale
Question 65: The phrase "trend of" in the passage is closest in meaning to which of the following?

A. reluctance of B. drawback to C. movement toward D. extraction from
Question 66: The word "seeking" as used in the passage could best be replaced by ________.
A. examining B. avoiding C. seizing D. pursuing
Question 67: Which of the following descriptions most likely applies to Wall Street?
A. a center for international affairs B. a major financial center
C. a shopping district D. a neighborhood in New York

A. evolving B. plunging C. starting D. striving

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 following questions.

The history of clinical nutrition, or the study of the relationship between health and how the body takes in and
utilizes food substances, can be divided into four distinct eras: the first began in the nineteenth century and extended
into the early twentieth century when it was recognized for the first time that food contained constituents that were
essential for human function and that different foods provided different amounts of these essential agents. Near the
end of this era, research studies demonstrated that rapid weight loss was associated with nitrogen imbalance and
could only be rectified by providing adequate dietary protein associated with certain foods.

The second era was initiated in the early decades of the twentieth century and might be called "the vitamin period. "
Vitamins came to be recognized in foods, and deficiency syndromes were described. As vitamins became
recognized as essential food constituents necessary for health, it became tempting to suggest that every disease and
condition for which there had been no previous effective treatment might be responsive to vitamin therapy. At that
point in time, medical schools started to become more interested in having their curricula integrate nutritional
concepts into the basic sciences. Much of the focus of this education was on the recognition of deficiency
symptoms. Herein lay the beginning of what ultimately turned from ignorance to denial of the value of nutritional
therapies in medicine. Reckless claims were made for effects of vitamins that went far beyond what could actually
be achieved from the use of them.
In the third era of nutritional history in the early 1950's to mid-1960's, vitamin therapy began to fall into disrepute.
Concomitant with this, nutrition education in medical schools also became less popular. It was just a decade before
this that many drug companies had found their vitamin sales skyrocketing and were quick to supply practicing
physicians with generous samples of vitamins and literature extolling the virtue of supplementation for a variety of
health-related conditions. Expectations as to the success of vitamins in disease control were exaggerated. As is
known in retrospect, vitamin and mineral therapies are much less effective when applied to health-crisis conditions
than when applied to long-term problems of under nutrition that lead to chronic health problems.

Question 71: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The stages of development of clinical nutrition as a field of study
B. The history of food preferences from the nineteenth century to the present
C. The effects of vitamins on the human body
D. Nutritional practices of the nineteenth century
Question 72: It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following discoveries was made during the first
era in the history of nutrition?
A. Certain foods were found to be harmful to good health.
B. Vitamins were synthesized from foods.
C. Effective techniques of weight loss were determined.
D. Protein was recognized as an essential component of diet.
Question 73: The word "tempting" is closest in meaning to.
A. realistic B. necessary C. correct D. attractive
