each of the questions from 26 to 33.
Are organically grown foods the best 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 more 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 fertilized 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 and buy only expensive organic foods instead.
~~~~~

Question 26: The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy organic foods

A. conventionally grown foods are more readily available than organic foods.
B. organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally grown foods.

D. many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally grown foods.

B. Advocated of organic food
2


C. Low income consumers
D. Wealthy people
Question 28: In the first paragraph, the word "others" refers to.......
A. organic foods

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 05 to 12.
Are organically grown foods the best 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 more 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 fertilized 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 and buy only expensive organic foods instead.

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 21 to 28.
Are organically grown foods the best 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 more 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 fertilized 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
