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 46 to 55.
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 yolk, in fact,
contain 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.
46. 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 fat increase the blood cholesterol level

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 56 to 65.

The countryside of Britain is well known for its beauty and many contrasts: its bare mountains and

moorland, its lakes, rivers and woods, and its long, often wild coastline. Many of the most beautiful areas
are national parks and are protected from development. When British people think of the countryside they
think of farmland, as well as open spaces. They imagine cows or sheep in green fields enclosed by hedges
or stone walls, and fields of wheat and barley. Most farmland is privately owned but is crossed by a
network of public footpaths.
Many people associate the countryside with peace and relaxation. They spend their free time walking or
cycling there, or go to the country for a picnic or a pub lunch. In summer people go to fruit farms and
pick strawberries and other fruit. Only a few people who live in the country work on farms. Many
commute to work in towns. Many others dream of living in the country, where they believe they would
have a better and healthier lifestyle.
The countryside faces many threats. Some are associated with modern farming practices, and the use of
chemicals harmful to plants and wildlife. Land is also needed for new houses. The green belt, an area of
land around many cities, is under increasing pressure. Plans to build new roads are strongly opposed by
organizations trying to protect the countryside. Protesters set up camps to prevent, or at least delay, the
building work.
America has many areas of wild and beautiful scenery, and there are many areas, especially in the West in
states like Montana and Wyoming, where few people live. In the New England states, such as Vermont
and New Hampshire, it is common to see small farms surrounded by hills and green areas. In Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and other Midwestern states, fields of corn or wheat reach to the horizon and there are
many miles between towns.
Only about 20% of Americans live outside cities and towns. Life may be difficult for people who live in
the country. Services like hospitals and schools may be further away and going shopping can mean
driving long distances. Some people even have to drive from their homes to the main road where their
mail is left in a box. In spite of the disadvantages, many people who live in the country say that they like
the safe, clean, attractive environment. But their children often move to a town or city as soon as they can.
As in Britain, Americans like to go out to the country at weekends. Some people go on camping or fishing
trips, others go hiking in national parks.

56. We can see from the passage that in the countryside of Britain ______.
A. none of the areas faces the sea

B. only a few farms are publicly owned
C. most beautiful areas are not well preserved
D. it is difficult to travel from one farm to another
