<i><b>Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the</b></i>
<i><b>correct answer to each of the questions. </b></i>


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 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 egg 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 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 egg,
sometimes called 'designer' eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of
ingredients such as canola oil, flax, 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
<b>up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have</b>
brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of egg 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 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.


<b>Question 38. What is the main purpose of the passage?</b>



A. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.
B. To inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten
D. To convince people to eat 'designer' eggs and egg substitutes.


<b>Question 39. According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases?</b>


A. minerals B. cholesterol C. canola oil D. vitamins


<b>Question 40. Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat'?</b>


A. in fact B. a little C. indefinitely D. a lot


<b>Question 41. What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?</b>


A. increasing price B. decreased production


C. dietary changes in hens D. concerns about cholesterol


<b>Question 42. According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested</b>
daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol?


A. 3/4 B. 1/3 C. 1/2 D. 2/3


<b>Question 43. The word 'portrayed' could best be replaced by which of the following?</b>


A. studied B. destroyed C. tested D. described


<b>Question 44.</b>What is the meaning of 'back up'?



A. reverse B. advance C. block D. support


<b>Question 45. What is meant by the phrase 'mixed results'?</b>


A. The results are blended. C. The results are a composite of things.
B. The results are inconclusive. D. The results are mingled together.


<b>Question 46. According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of following types of</b>
eggs EXCEPT?


A. boiled B. poached C. scrambled D. fried


<b>Question 47. According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol?</b>

The goal of Internet-based encyclopedia Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is to give everyone on the
planet access to information. Like other encyclopedias, Wikipedia contains lots of information: more than
2.5 million articles in 200 different languages covering just about every subject. Unlike other
encyclopedias, however, Wikipedia is not written by experts, but by ordinary people. These writers are not
paid and their names are not published. They contribute to Wikipedia simply because they want to share
their knowledge.


Encyclopedias began in ancient times as collections of writings about all aspects of human
knowledge. The word itself comes from ancient Greek, and means “a complete general education”. Real
popularity for encyclopedias came in the nineteenth century in Europe and the United States, with the
publication of encyclopedias written for ordinary readers. With the invention of the CD-ROM, the same
amount of information could be put on a few computer discs. Then with the Internet, it became possible to
create an online encyclopedia that could be constantly updated, like Microsoft’s Encarta. However, even
Internet-based encyclopedias like Encarta were written by paid experts. At first, Wikipedia, the brainchild


of Jimmy Wales, a businessman in Chicago, was not so different from these. In 2001, he had the idea for an
Internet-based encyclopedia that would provide information quickly and easily to everyone. Furthermore,
that information would be available free, unlike other Internet encyclopedias at that time.


But Wales, like everyone else, believed that people with special knowledge were needed to write the
articles, and so he began by hiring experts. He soon changed his approach, however, as it took them a long
time to finish their work. He decided to open up the encyclopedia in a radical new way, so that everyone
would have access not only to the information, but also to the process of putting this information online. To
do this, he used what is known as “Wiki” software (from the Hawaiian word for “fast”), which allows users
to create or alter content on web page. The system is very simple: When you open the web site, you can
simply search for information or you can log on to become a writer or editor of articles. If you find an
article that interests you – about your hometown, for example – you can correct it or expand it. This
process goes on until no one is interested in making any more changes.


<b>Question 55: Wikipedia is a(n) ________.</b>


A. book B. journal C. article D. dictionary
<b>Question 56: Wikipedia is written by _______.</b>


A. paid written B. millionaires C. normal people D. world experts
<b>Question 57: The phrase “these writers” in the first paragraph refers to ...</b>


A. ordinary readers B. ordinary people C. encyclopedia experts D. every subject
<b>Question 58: The phrase “the word” in the second paragraph refers to ________.</b>

C. online encyclopedia D. updateable online encyclopedia



<b>Question 60: The word “brainchild” in the second paragraph of the passage can be best replaced by</b>
______.


A. born B. child C. product D. father


<b>Question 61: The word “approach” in the third paragraph of the passage means _______.</b>

Internet-based encyclopedia that would provide information quickly and easily to everyone. Furthermore,
that information would be available free, unlike other Internet encyclopedias at that time.


But Wales, like everyone else, believed that people with special knowledge were needed to write the
articles, and so he began by hiring experts. He soon changed his approach, however, as it took them a long
time to finish their work. He decided to open up the encyclopedia in a radical new way, so that everyone
would have access not only to the information, but also to the process of putting this information online. To
do this, he used what is known as “Wiki” software (from the Hawaiian word for “fast”), which allows users
to create or alter content on web page. The system is very simple: When you open the web site, you can
simply search for information or you can log on to become a writer or editor of articles. If you find an
article that interests you – about your hometown, for example – you can correct it or expand it. This
process goes on until no one is interested in making any more changes.

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 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 egg 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 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 egg,
sometimes called 'designer' eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of
ingredients such as canola oil, flax, 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.

<span class='text_page_counter'>(13)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=13>

brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of egg 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 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.


<b>Question 38. What is the main purpose of the passage?</b>


A. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.
B. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten
C. To convince people to eat 'designer' eggs and egg substitutes.


D. To inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.


<b>Question 39. According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases?</b>


A. minerals B. cholesterol C. canola oil D. vitamins


<b>Question 40. Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat'?</b>


A. in fact B. a lot C. indefinitely D. a little


<b>Question 41. What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?</b>


A. increasing price B. decreased production


C. dietary changes in hens D. concerns about cholesterol



<b>Question 42. According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested</b>
daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol?


A. 3/4 B. 1/3 C. 1/2 D. 2/3


<b>Question 43. According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of following types of</b>
eggs EXCEPT?


A. boiled B. poached C. scrambled D. fried


<b>Question 44. According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol?</b>
A. decreasing egg intake and fat intake B. increasing egg intake and fat intake
C. reducing egg intake but not fat intake D. increasing egg intake but not fat intake
<b>Question 45. The word 'portrayed' could best be replaced by which of the following?</b>


A. studied B. destroyed C. tested D. described


<b>Question 46.</b>What is the meaning of 'back up'?


A. reverse B. advance C. block D. support


<b>Question 47. What is meant by the phrase 'mixed results'?</b>


A. The results are blended. C. The results are a composite of things.

The goal of Internet-based encyclopedia Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is to give everyone on the
planet access to information. Like other encyclopedias, Wikipedia contains lots of information: more than
2.5 million articles in 200 different languages covering just about every subject. Unlike other
encyclopedias, however, Wikepedia is not written by experts, but by ordinary people. These writers are
not paid and their names are not published. They contribute to Wikipedia simply because they want to
share their knowledge.


</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(14)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=14>

popularity for encyclopedias came in the nineteenth century in Europe and the United States, with the
publication of encyclopedias written for ordinary readers. With the invention of the CD-ROM, the same
amount of information could be put on a few computer discs. Then with the Internet, it became possible to
create an online encyclopedia that could be constantly updated, like Microsoft’s Encarta. However, even
Internet-based encyclopedias like Encarta were written by paid experts. At first, Wikipedia, the brainchild
of Jimmy Wales, a businessman in Chicago, was not so different from these. In 2001, he had the idea for an
Internet-based encyclopedia that would provide information quickly and easily to everyone. Furthermore,
that information would be available free, unlike other Internet encyclopedias at that time.


But Wales, like everyone else, believed that people with special knowledge were needed to write the

time to finish their work. He decided to open up the encyclopedia in a radical new way, so that everyone


would have access not only to the information, but also to the process of putting this information online. To
do this, he used what is known as “Wiki” software (from the Hawaiian word for “fast”), which allows users
to create or alter content on web page. The system is very simple: When you open the web site, you can
simply search for information or you can log on to become a writer or editor of articles. If you find an
article that interests you – about your hometown, for example – you can correct it or expand it. This
process goes on until no one is interested in making any more changes.

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.

The goal of Internet-based encyclopedia Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is to give everyone on the
planet access to information. Like other encyclopedias, Wikipedia contains lots of information: more than
2.5 million articles in 200 different languages covering just about every subject. Unlike other
encyclopedias, however, Wikipedia is not written by experts, but by ordinary people. These writers are not
paid and their names are not published. They contribute to Wikipedia simply because they want to share
their knowledge.

Internet-based encyclopedia that would provide information quickly and easily to everyone. Furthermore,
that information would be available free, unlike other Internet encyclopedias at that time.


But Wales, like everyone else, believed that people with special knowledge were needed to write the
articles, and so he began by hiring experts. He soon changed his approach, however, as it took them a long
time to finish their work. He decided to open up the encyclopedia in a radical new way, so that everyone
would have access not only to the information, but also to the process of putting this information online. To
do this, he used what is known as “Wiki” software (from the Hawaiian word for “fast”), which allows users
to create or alter content on web page. The system is very simple: When you open the web site, you can
simply search for information or you can log on to become a writer or editor of articles. If you find an
article that interests you – about your hometown, for example – you can correct it or expand it. This
process goes on until no one is interested in making any more changes.
