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.
Whales are the largest animals in the world, and the gentlest creatures we know. Although
the whale is very huge, it is not hindered at all by its size when it is in the water. Whales have tails
that end like flippers. With just a gentle flick, it can propel itself forward. The skin of a whale is so
smooth that it does not create any friction that can slow the whale down. A whale’s breathing
hole is located on the top of its head, so it can breathe without having to completely push its head
out of the water. Whales are protected from the cold seawater by body fat that is called blubber.
Whales live in the ocean but, in terms of behaviours, they are more similar to humans than fish.
They live in family groups and they even travel in groups when they have to migrate from
cooler to warmer waters. The young stay with their parents for as long as fifteen years. Whales are
known not to desert the ill or injured members; instead, they cradle them. When whales are in
danger, there are people who go to great lengths to help them. One such case occurred in 1988,
when three young whales were trapped in the sea. It was close to winter and the sea had begun
to freeze over. Whales are mammals that require oxygen from the air, so the frozen ice was a great
danger to them. All they had then was a tiny hole in the ice for them to breathe
through. Volunteers from all over soon turned up to help these creatures. They cut holes in
the ice to provide more breathing holes for the whales. These holes would also serve as
guides for the whales so that they could swim to warmer waters.

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.
Water scarcity is fast becoming one of the major limiting factors in world crop production. In
many areas, poor agricultural practices have led to increasing desertification and the loss of
formerly arable lands. Consequently, those plant species that are well adapted to survival in dry
climates are being looked at for an answer in developing more efficient crops to grow on
marginally arable lands.
Plants use several mechanisms to ensure their survival in desert environments. Some involve
purely mechanical and physical adaptations, such as the shape of the plant's surface, smaller leaf
size, and extensive root systems. Some of the adaptations are related to chemical mechanisms.
Many plants, such as cacti, have internal gums and mucilage which give them water-retaining
properties. Another chemical mechanism is that of the epicuticular wax layer. This wax layer acts
as an impervious cover to protect the plant. It prevents excessive loss of internal moisture. It also
protects the plant from external aggression, which can come from inorganic agents such as gases,
or organic agents which include bacteria and plant pests.
Researchers have proposed that synthetic waxes with similar protective abilities could be
prepared based on knowledge of desert plants. If successfully developed, such a compound could
be used to greatly increase a plant's ability to maintain health in such adverse situations as

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.
The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous
steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has
shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related
to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. People of different cultures are more prone to contact certain
illnesses because of the characteristic foods they consume.
That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates
nitrites (commonly used to preserve color in meat) as well as other food additives caused cancer. Yet, these
carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which ingredients
on the packaging label of processed food are helpful or harmful.
The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and because of
this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.

Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reasons.
The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.
A healthy diet is directly related to good health. Often we are unaware of detrimental substances we
ingest. Sometimes well-meaning farmers or others who do not realize the consequences add these substances to
food without our knowledge.
Question 44: What are nitrates used for?
A. They preserve the color of meat
B. They preserve flavor in package food
C. There are objects of research
D. They cause the animals become fatter
Question 45: FDA means____________.
A. Federal Dairy Additives
B. Food and Drug Administration

A. Drug are always given to animals for medical reasons
B. Food may cause forty percent of the cancer in the world
C. Researchers have known about the potential hazard of food additives for more than 45 years
D. Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals
Question 47: What is best title for this passage?
A. The food you eat can affect your health
B. Harmful and Harmless substances in food
