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. (from 41 to 50).
During the nineteenth century, women in the United States organized and participated in a large
number of reform movements, including movements to reorganize the prison system, improve education, ban
the sale of alcohol, grant rights to people who were denied them, and, most importantly, free slaves. Some
women saw similarities in the social status of women and slaves. Woman like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and
Lucy Stone were feminists and abolitionists who supported the rights of both women and blacks. A number of
male abolitionists, including William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips, also supported the rights of women
to speak and to participate equally with men in antislavery activities. Probably more than any other movement,
abolitionism offered women a previously denied entry into politics. They became involved primarily in order to
better their living conditions and improve the conditions of others.
When the civil war ended in 1865, the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution
adopted in 1868 and 1870 granted citizenship and suffrage to blacks but not to women. Discouraged but
resolved, feminists worked tirelessly to influence more and more women to demand the right to vote. In 1869,
the Wyoming Territory had yielded to demands by feminists, but the states on the East Coast resisted more
stubbornly than before. A women’s suffrage bill had been presented to every Congress since 1878, but it
continually failed to pass until 1920, when the Nineteenth Amendment granted women the right to vote.

B. To support Elizabeth Cady Stanton for president.D. To amend the Declaration of Independence.
Question 45: The word “primarily” in line 9 is closest in meaning to ___ .

in Congress.

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. (from 51 to 60).
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 diseases. One egg yolk, in fact,
contains a little more than two- thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has driven 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 the advantage of having low cholesterol
rates, and they can be scrambled or used in banking. 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 egg, sometimes called
“designer” eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low- flat diets consisting of ingredients such as
canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diet, 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.
Eggs producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to
back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have
brought mixed results. It may be that 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 certainly dietary fats stimulate the body’s production of blood
cholesterol. Consequently, while it 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.
Question 51: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary at increases the blood cholesterol level.
B. To make people know about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten.
