Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C or D to answer the comprehension
questions
Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods
over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates of
organic foods - a term whose meaning varies greatly - frequently proclaim that such products are
safer and more nutritious than others.
The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North
American diet is a welcome development. However, much of this interest has been sparked by
sweeping claims that the food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs.

Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance of
written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact
from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods
prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and
form the basis for folklore.
Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for “no-aging” diets, new vitamins, and other
wonder foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to
synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated
grains are better than fumigated grains, and the like.
One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they
cost more than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are misled if they
believe organic foods can maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than
conventionally grown foods. So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those
with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy only expensive organic foods
instead.
45. The word “Advocates” is closest in meaning to which of the following?
A. Proponents
B. Merchants
C. Inspectors
46. The word “others” refers to______ .

D. Consumers

A. advantages
B. advocates
C. organic foods
D. products
47. The “welcome development” mentioned in line 6 is an increase in ______.
A. interest in food safety and nutrition among North Americans

B. the nutritional quality of the typical North American diet.
C. the amount of healthy food grown in North America.
D. the number of consumers in North America.
48. According to the first paragraph, which of the following is true about the term “organic
foods”?
A. It is accepted by most nutritionists.
B. It has been used only in recent years.
C. It has no fixed meaning.
D. It is seldom used by consumers.
49. The word “unsubstantiated” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. unbelievable
B. uncontested
C. unpopular
50. The word “maintain” has closest meaning with ______.
A. improve
B. monitor
C. keep

D. unverified
D. restore

Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C or D to answer the comprehension
questions.
The Roman alphabet took thousands of years to develop, from the picture writing of the
ancient Egyptians through modifications by Phoenicians, Greek, Romans, and others. Yet in just
a dozen years, one man, Sequoyah, invented an alphabet for the Cherokee people. Born in eastern
Tennessee, Sequoyah was a hunter and a silversmith in his youth, as well as an able interpreter
who knew Spanish, French and English.
Sequoyah wanted his people to have the secret of the “talking leaves” as he called his books
of white people, and so he set out to design a written form of Cherokee. His chief aim was to record
his people’s ancient tribal customs. He began by designing pictographs for every word in the
Cherokee vocabulary. Reputedly his wife, angry with him for his neglect of garden and house,

burned his notes, and he had to start over. This time, having concluded that picture-writing was
cumbersome, he made symbols for the sounds of Cherokee language. Eventually he refined his
system to eighty-five characters, which he borrowed from the Roman, Greek, and Hebrew
alphabets. He presented this system to the Cherokee General Council in 1821, and it was
wholeheartedly approved. The response was phenomenal. Cherokees who had struggled for
months to learn English lettering school picked up the new system in days. Several books were
printed in Cherokee, and in 1828, a newspaper, the Cherokee Phoenix, was first published in the
new alphabet. Sequoyah was acclaimed by his people.

In his later life, Sequoyah dedicated himself to the general advancement of his people. He
went to Washington, D.C., as a representative of the Western tribes. He helped settled bitter
differences among Cherokee after their forced movement by the federal government to the
Oklahoma territory in the 1930s. He died in Mexico in 1843 while searching for groups of lost
Cherokee. A statue of Sequoyah represents Oklahoma in the Statuary Hall in the Capitol building

giant redwood trees of California, are named of him.
