(3)<div class='page_container' data-page=3>

Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks and sediments for over a century, the first detailed global
investigation of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1968, with the beginning of the National Science Foundation’s
Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP). Using techniques first developed for the offshore oil gas industry, the Dad’s drill ship , the
Glomar Challenger, was able to maintain a steady position on the ocean’s surface and drill in very deep waters, extracting

samples of sediments and rock from the ocean floor.

The Glomar Challenger completed 96 voyages in a 15 –year research program that ended in November 1983. During this time,
the vessel logged 600,000 kilometers and took almost 20,000 core samples of seabed sediments and rocks at 624

drilling sites around the world . The Glomar Challenger’s core samples have allowed geologists to reconstruct what the planet
looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to calculate what it will problem look like millions of years in the future.
Today , largely on the strength of evidence gathered during the Glomar Challenger’s voyages, nearly all earth scientists agree
on the theories of plate tectonics and continental drift that explain many of the geological processes that shape the Earth.
The cores of sediment drilled by the Glomar Challenger have also yielded information critical to understanding the world’s
past climates . Deep-ocean sediments provide a climatic record stretching back hundreds of millions of years, because theyare
largely isolated from the mechanical erosion and the intense chemical and biological activity that rapidly destroy much
land-based evidence of past climates. This record has already provided insights into the patterns and causes of past climatic
change-information that may be used to predict future climates

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 following questions from 61 to 70.

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.

In many old cities in Europe, there are narrow roads with many shops lying together along the two sides. These
commercial places are not so modern and convenient as those called shopping centres in modern cities, especially III
the suburbs of the big cities in the United States.

Shopping centres have developed rapidly because of the shift of the population to the suburbs, the growing use of
and dependence upon the automobiles and the heavy traffic in downtown areas. A shopping centre is a large group of
stores facing a huge central mall which may be covered, heated and air-conditioned. A shopping centre is also
surrounded by a parking area with space for thousands of cars.

We can buy all kinds of food and get anything we need in a shopping centre. Unlike a supermarket where groceries
are chiefly sold, a shopping centre provides us with all services besides food. We can get our hair cut, eyes tested,
clothes washed, we can book our tickets for a world tour and even enroll in special classes. Shopping centres are
therefore, very convenient for customers, but they lack "the sense of closeness" as felt in older commercial centres.

 each of the blanks from 61 to 70.

Western people rely on technical and mechanical solutions in everything they do. Refrigerators preserve
their food, washing machines clean their underwear and computers are supposed to solve all their problems. When
they are ill, they rely on surgeon’s knife. If their hearts are running down, then they must be repaired; if they
cannot be repaired, they should be replaced, just as an old car sometimes gets a new engine. But up to now, we
have had a shortage of donors to give their hearts : to keep one person alive, another donor had to die.

Nowadays there are more and more talks about using monkeys. Every monkey has a near-human heart, and
human have always been over careful in respecting the life and well-being as other animals. This includes the life
and well-being of other humans. Therefore in the early years of the 21st century - I was told - the mass killing of
monkeys may occur. We will need to use their heart for human consumption.

Monkeys, on the whole, are happier creatures than their near relatives, Homo Sapiens, or man. They know
fear, of course, and they face real danger, but they are more intelligent than us. They create no unnecessary
dangers for themselves, they run no business, chase no money, and unimpressed by gold - that utterly useless
metal, they do not care at all about hell or evil spirits. I have a vague feeling that it is not monkey’s heart that we
ought to implant in ourselves but monkey’s brains.

Read the passage and circle the best option A, B, C, or D to complete the following questions or statements:

Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the ability to do
outstandingly well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is simply something a person is
born with. Others, however, argue that the potential for great achievement can be develop. The truth lies somewhere
between these two extremes.

It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a child’s ability
to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and opportunities. As one
psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.”

Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that were separated
shortly birth and brought up by different parents. They found that achievement was based on intelligence, and later
influenced by the child’s environment.

</div>
(22)<div class='page_container' data-page=22>

opportunity to develop its abilities. That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other,

performed even better.

This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the environment, the
more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is no link between intelligence and socioeconomic
level of a child’s family. In other words, it does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect the
intelligence.

Gifted people can not be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One professor of
music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary performers, often because
their parents had recognized their ability. These musicians then needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in
order to reach the level they were capable of attaining.

People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:
- Marry an intelligent person.

- Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents.
- Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.

- Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instrument is essential for a child who wants to
become an outstanding musician.

Read the passage and circle the best option A, B, C, or D to complete the following questions or statements:

Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have
neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now
number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct.

What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely
by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal gratification.

This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction. Animals such as the Bengal
tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world’s ecosystem. International laws protecting
these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival – and the survival of our planet.

Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries, in an effort
to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animals reserves. They then charge admission prices
to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for support.
This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals. Another response to the increase in
animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species. This has had some effect, but
by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed.

11: What is the main topic of the passage?

A. Endangered species B. Problems with industrialization

C. The Bengal tiger D. International boycotts

12: The word “poachers” could be best replaced by which of the following?

A. Concerned scientists B. Enterprising researchers

C. Illegal hunters D. Trained hunters

13: The word “callousness” could be best replaced by which of the following?

A. incompetence B. indirectness C. insensitivity D. independence

14: The previous passage is divided into two paragraphs in order to contrast:

A. A comparison and a contrast

B. A problem and a solution

C. A statement and an illustration

D. Specific and general information

15: What does the word “this” refer to in the passage?

A. Bengal tiger B. Interest in material gain

C. Killing animals for personal satisfaction D. The decrease in the Bengal tiger population

16: Where in the passage does the author discuss a cause of extinction?

A. Lines 4-6 B. Lines 7-9 C. Lines 10-16 D. Lines 1-3

17: Which of the following could best replace the word “allocated”?

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 1 to 10

According to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become
recognized as the leader of a social group in the United States. In the family, traditional cultural

patterns confer leadership on one or both of the parents. In other cases, such as friendship groups, one
or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection. In
larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment.

Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of
research have failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any category of “natural leaders.” It
seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, virtually any
person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular
group.

Furthermore, although it is commonly supposed that social groups have a single leader,
research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different
individuals. Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social
group. Group members look into instrumental leaders to “get things”done.” Expressive leadership, on
the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-being of a social group’s member.
Expressive leader are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing
emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them.
Group members expect expressive leaders to maintain stable relationships within the group and
provide support to individual members.

Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group
members. They give orders and may discipline group members who inhibit attainment of the group’s
goals. Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group.
They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties or is subjected to discipline, are quick to
lighten a serious moment with humor, and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group. As
the differences in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal
affection from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals,
may enjoy a more distant respect

PAPER

Paper is everywhere. We use it for homework, money, checks, books, letters, wallpaper, and
greeting cards. We have paper towels, napkins plates, cups, and tissues. We print the news every day
on newspaper. Our history and knowledge is written on paper. Without paper, our lives would be
completely different.

</div>

The Chinese made the first real paper in the year A.D. 105. They mixed tree bark and small pieces
of old cloth with water. They used a screen to remove the thin, wet piece of paper. Then they let the
paper dry in the sun. The Chinese kept papermaking a secret until after 751, in that year there was a
war between the Chinese and the Muslims. Many Chinese papermakers were taken away from China
to live in Muslim countries. The art of papermaking soon spread throughout the Muslim world.
Finally, by the end of the twelfth century, papermaking reached Europe. The first paper made in
Europe was in Spain in 1151.

The first important improvement on the Chinese method of papermaking was in France in 1798. A
man named Nicholas Louis Robert invented a machine for making paper. His machine could make
paper much faster than one person could by hand. However, his machine was not very successful.
About ten years later an Englishman improved on Robert’s machine and began producing paper.

The most important improvement in papermaking also happened in France. A scientist observed a
wasp making its nest. The wasp chewed up pieces of wood, mixed it with the chemicals in its mouth,
and made a paper nest. The scientist realized that people could make paper from wood, too. Finally, a
machine was invented for grinding wood into pulp to use for making paper. Today, the principal
ingredient in paper is wood pulp. It is made by machine. There are also other kinds of paper made
from rice, wheat, cotton, corn, and other plants. Paper from wood pulp is the most common. Canada
and the United States are the world leaders in paper production, due in part to the quantity, of wood
that is available in the forests of these two countries.

wood pulp to make paper. This method of using old products again instead of simply throwing them
away is called recycling. Recycling paper helps reduce the number of trees that are used every year.
Many people also try to use less paper in their daily lives. They use both sides of a sheet of paper
instead of just one. They use cloth handkerchiefs instead of paper tissues. There are also special
containers in many schools and public places where people can put used paper instead of throwing it
into the garbage can. Then this paper is collected to be recycled.

Whether we use a little or a lot, paper has an important place in our lives. The books we read and
write are made of paper. Our history and scientific inventions have all been recorded on paper. This,
however, is changing. Other methods of storing information are becoming common. Computers can
store an enormous amount of information in a much smaller space. Computer faxes, electronic mail,
and the Internet are only three examples of technology that have replaced paper, Who knows, perhaps
one day people will not use paper to write at all!

Question 11: Papyrus was _______.

A. a kind of paper made from a plant. B. made by ancient Egyptians.
C. a kind of plant that ancient Egyptians wrote on. D. a special kind of clay.
Question 12: The Chinese kept papermaking a secret _______.

A. because they were afraid of the Muslims

B. so that they could keep exporting paper to the Muslim world
C. until the Muslims found out about the special tree bark
D. for more than 6 centuries

Question 13: The Chinese method of papermaking was first improved by _______.

A. a papermaking machine B. an Englishman

C. Nicholas Louis Robert D. employing people with faster hands

PAPER

From the very beginning of time, people have tried to record their thoughts and lives. The earliest
humans drew pictures on cave walls. Later, people used large pieces of clay to write on. Almost
5,000 years ago, the Egyptians wrote on pieces of plants called papyrus. Papyrus was used
throughout the ancient world of the Mediterranean for thousands of years. Eventually it was replaced
by parchment. Parchment was made from animal skins. It was stronger and lasted longer than any
other material.

The Chinese made the first real paper in the year A.D. 105. They mixed tree bark and small pieces

of old cloth with water. They used a screen to remove the thin, wet piece of paper. Then they let the
paper dry in the sun. The Chinese kept papermaking a secret until after 751, in that year there was a
war between the Chinese and the Muslims. Many Chinese papermakers were taken away from China
to live in Muslim countries. The art of papermaking soon spread throughout the Muslim world.
Finally, by the end of the twelfth century, papermaking reached Europe. The first paper made in
Europe was in Spain in 1151.

The first important improvement on the Chinese method of papermaking was in France in

1798. A man named Nicholas Louis Robert invented a machine for making paper. His machine
could make paper much faster than one person could by hand. However, his machine was not very
successful. About ten years later an Englishman improved on Robert’s machine and began producing
paper.

Because paper is made of wood, many people are becoming concerned that too many trees are
being chopped down every year in order to produce paper. Trees are an important part of the
environment. As a result, many companies that produce paper are using old paper instead of new
wood pulp to make paper. This method of using old products again instead of simply throwing them
away is called recycling. Recycling paper helps reduce the number of trees that are used every year.
Many people also try to use less paper in their daily lives. They use both sides of a sheet of paper
instead of just one. They use cloth handkerchiefs instead of paper tissues. There are also special

containers in many schools and public places where people can put used paper instead of throwing it
into the garbage can. Then this paper is collected to be recycled.

</div>
(39)<div class='page_container' data-page=39>

and the Internet are only three examples of technology that have replaced paper, Who knows, perhaps
one day people will not use paper to write at all!

A. a kind of paper made from a plant. B. made by ancient Egyptians.

C. a kind of plant that ancient Egyptians wrote on. D. a special kind of clay.

Question 12: The Chinese kept papermaking a secret _______.
A. because they were afraid of the Muslims

B. so that they could keep exporting paper to the Muslim world
C. until the Muslims found out about the special tree bark
D. for more than 6 centuries

Smallpox was the first widespread disease to be eliminated by human intervention. In May,

projects for malaria and yellow fever had failed, few believed that smallpox could actually be
eradicated but eleven years after the initial organization of the campaign no cases were reported in the
field.

disease but health workers continued to search for new cases for additional years to be completely

B2. Read the text and choose the best answer ( A,B,C or D)

A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in identically
the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as scared texts. It is
always much better to tell a story than to read it out for a book and, if a parent can produce an
improvement on the printed text, so much the better.

(47)<div class='page_container' data-page=47>

incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think, well-authenticated cases of children being
dangerously told the story on only occasion. Familiarity with story by repetition turns the pain of fear
into pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.

There are also who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that
giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist, and that, instead of indulging
his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and

mechanics,. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know
how to argue with them. If their cases were sound, the word should be full of madmen attempting to
fly from New York to Philadelphia on broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief
that it was their enhanced girlfriend.

No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child has ever
believed that it was.

A. repeated without variation.
B. treated with reverence .

A. full of cruelty B. heard only once C. repeated too often D. dramatically told.

A. makes them to come to terms with their fears.

B. develops their power memory

C. convinces them there is nothing to be afraid of
D. encourages them not to have ridiculous beliefs.

59. The author’s mention of broomstick and telephones is meant to suggest that

A. Fairy stories are being made up B. there are different kinds of truth

C. fairy stories are different from reality D. there is more concern for children’s fears nowadays.
60. The author’s attitude towards telling children fairy stories is ____

A. negative B. critical C. supportive D. neutral

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 71 to 80

Colors and Emotions

Colors are one of the most exciting experiences in life. I love them, and they are just as important to
me as emotions are. Have you ever wondered how the two are so intimately related?

Color directly affects your emotions. Color both reflects the current state of your emotions, and is
something that you can use to improve or change your emotions. The color that you choose to wear either
refects your current state of being, or reflects the color or emotion that you need.

The colors that you wear affect you much more than they affect the people around you. Of course they
also affect anyone who comes in contract with you, but you are the one saturated with the color all day ! I
even choose items around me based on their color. In the morning, I choose my clothes based on the color or
emotion that I need for the day. So you can consciously use color to control the emotions that you are exposed
to, which can help you to feel better.

Color, sound, and emotions are all vibrations. Emotions are literally energy in motion; they are meant
to move and flow. This is the reason that real feelings are the fastest way to get your energy in motion. Also,

open to your real feelings. Alternately, the fastest way to create disease is to inhibit your emotions.

MODERN SURGERY

The need for a surgical operation, especially an emergency operation, almost always comes as a severe
shock to the patient and his family. Despite modern advances, most people still have an irrational fear of hospitals
and j anesthetics. Patients do not often believe they really need surgery - cutting into a part of the body as
opposed to treatment with drugs.

In the early years of the twentieth century there was little specialisation in surgery. A good surgeon was

capable of performing almost every operation that had been devised up to that time. Today the situation is
different, operations are now being carried out that were not even dreamed of 60 years ago. The heart can be

safely opened and its valves repaired. Clogged blood vessels can be cleaned out, and broken ones mended or

replaced. A lung, the whole stomach, or even part of the brain can be removed and still permit the patient to live

a comfortable and satisfactory life. However, not every surgeon wants to, or is qualified to carry out every type of

modern operation.

The scope of surgery has increased remarkably. Its safety has increased too. The hospital stay after surgery has
been shortened to as little as a week for most major operations.

Many developments in modern surgery are almost incredible. They include the replacement of damaged
blood vessels with stimulated ones made of plastic; the replacement of heart valves with plastic substitutes; the
transplanting of tissues such as the lens of the eye; the invention of the artificial kidney to clean the blood of
poisons at regular intervals and the development of heart and lung machines to keep patients alive during very
long operations. All these things open a hopeful vista for the future of surgery.

reacting against them and eventually killing them. Recently, however, it has been discovered that with the use of
x-rays and special drugs, it is possible to graft tissues from one person to another which will survive for periods of
a year or more. Kidney's have been successfully transplanted between non-identical twins. Heart and lung
transplants have been reasonably successful in animals, though rejection problems in humans have yet to be
solved.

'Spare parts' surgery, the simple routine replacement of all worn-out organs by new ones, is still a dream
of the distant future. As yet, surgery is not ready for such miracles. In the meantime, you can be happy if your
doctor says to you. 'Yes, I think it is possible to operate on you for this condition.'

PANDEMIC

Diseases are a natural part of life on Earth. If there were no diseases, the population would grow too quickly,
and there would not be enough food or other resources. So in a way, diseases are nature's way of keeping the
Earth in balance. But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of people. For example, in 1918,
an outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing over 25 million people in only six months. Such terrible
outbreaks of a disease are called pandemics.

Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight. In 1918, a new

type of flu virus appeared. Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread very quickly and

killed large numbers of people. While there have been many different pandemic diseases throughout history, all of
them have a few things in common.

</div>
(61)<div class='page_container' data-page=61>

spread to a large number of people. The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about a week to ten
days to kill its victims, so it had more time to spread.

While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common. Doctors
carefully monitor new diseases that they fear could become pandemics. For example, in 2002 and 2003, doctors
carefully watched SARS. Their health warnings may have prevented SARS from becoming a pandemic.

One of the most revolutionary areas of modern surgery is that of organ transplants. Until a few years ago,

reacting against them and eventually killing them. Recently, however, it has been discovered that with the use of

PANDEMIC

Earth in balance. But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of people. For example, in 1918,
an outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing over 25 million people in only six months. Such terrible
outbreaks of a disease are called pandemics.

Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight. In 1918, a new

type of flu virus appeared. Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread very quickly and

killed large numbers of people. While there have been many different pandemic diseases throughout history, all of
them have a few things in common.

First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily. Second, while they may kill many
people, they generally do not kill people very quickly. A good example of this would be the Marburg virus. The
Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease. In addition, it is deadly. About 70-80% of all the people who get
the Marburg virus die from the disease. However, the Marburg virus has not become a pandemic because most
people die within three days of getting the disease. This means that the virus does not have enough time to
spread to a large number of people. The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about a week to ten
days to kill its victims, so it had more time to spread.

Question 71 : This passage is mainly about

---A. how to prevent pandemic diseases. B. pandemic diseases.

C. pandemic diseases throughout history. D. why pandemics happen.

Question 72 : According to paragraph 1, how are diseases a natural part of life on Earth?

A. They prevent pandemics. B. They help control the population.

C. They help the world grow quickly. D. They kill too many people.

Question 73: Based on the information in the passage the term pandemics can best be explained as ---- A.

diseases with no cure B. a deadly kind of flu

C. diseases that spread quickly and kill large numbers of people

D. new diseases like SARS or the Marburg virus

A. Changes in a disease that the body cannot fight

B. Careless doctors who do not watch the spread of diseases

C. Population growth that the world cannot support D. The failure to make new medicines

Question 75: According to the passage, all of the following are true of the 1918 flu pandemic EXCEPT that

---A. it involved a new kind of flu virus B. it killed over 25 million people

C. it was the last pandemic in history D. it took a little over a week to kill its victims

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 following questions from 64 to 73 .

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, 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 turns 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 lower cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or
used in baking. One disadvatage, 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.

Eggs producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific
studies to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human
cholesterol levels have 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 30 dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level.

Question 64: What is the main purpose of this passage?

A. to convince people to eat “designer” eggs and egg substitutes.
