FAST FOOD FACTS
There are more than 300,000 fast food restaurants in the US. Why is fast food so popular? Because it’s
convenient, predictable, and fast. Fast food has become a part of the busy American lifestyle. But, nutrition
experts point out, fast food is often high in calories, sodium, fat and cholesterol. This does not mean fast food is
bad. But it does mean you should fit fast food into a balanced, healthy diet. On the average, to maintain
desirable weight, men need about 2,700 calories per day and women need about 2,000 calories per day. It is not
well understood why some people can eat much more than others and still maintain a desirable weight.
However, one thing is certain - to lose weight, you must take in fewer calories than you burn. This means that
you must either choose foods with fewer calories, or you must increase your physical activity, preferably both.
Most Americans get more than 40 percent of their daily calories from fat. The American Heart Association
recommends limiting fat to less than 50-80 grams per day. Fast food meals can be high in calories, fat, sodium,
and cholesterol.
Lately, fast-food chains have noticed that consumers are more health-conscious, and as a result, many chains
are adding healthier choices to their menus.
31: What are fast food meals high in?
A. Water, fat and calories.
B. All are correct.
C. Fat and cholesterol
D. Salt, fat and cholesterol.

32: If you want to lose weight, what should you do?
A. Take in fewer calories than you spend.
B. It is not important what you eat, providing you eat
less.
C. Eat food which contains less fat and consequently fewer calories.
D. Eat food which contains more fat and more calories.
33: Is it possible to eat well in a fast food restaurant?
A. Yes, but only if you choose low in fat and calories meals.
B. Yes, but you shouldn't eat in a fast food restaurant everyday.
C. Yes, if the menus have more choices.
D. No, all fast food meals contain too much fat and
cholesterol.
34: Some people eat much more than others, but still don't put on weight, Why?

Read the following passage and mark the correct answer to each of the following questions.
THE SCIENCE OF AVIATION
Captain John Paul Stapp, already a medical doctor, began his scientific career in the 1940s studying the
negative effects of high-altitude flight, issues absolutely critical to the future of aviation. How could men
survive these conditions? The problem of the bends, the deadly formation of bubbles in the bloodstream, proved
the toughest, but after 65 hours in the air, Stapp found an answer. If a pilot breathed pure oxygen for 30 minutes
prior to take-off, symptoms could be avoided entirely. This was an enormous breakthrough. The sky now truly
was the limit. The discovery pushed Stapp to the forefront of the Aero Med Lab and he abandoned his plans to
become a pediatrician, instead deciding to dedicate his life to research. The Lab's mandate, to study medical and
safety issues in aviation, was a perfect match for his talents. It was the premiere facility in the world for the new
science of biomechanics.
Stapp was assigned the Lab's most important research project: human deceleration. This was the study of the
human body's ability to withstand G forces, the force of gravity, when bailing out of an aircraft. In April 1947,
Stapp travelled to Los Angeles to view the 'human decelerator', a rocket sled designed to run along a special
track and then come to a halt with the aid of 45 sets of normal hydraulic brakes, which slowed it from 150 miles
per hour to half of that speed in one fifth of a second. When it did, G forces would be produced equivalent to
those experienced in an airplane crash. The sled was called the 'Gee Whiz'. Built out of welded tubes, it was
designed to withstand 100 Gs of force, way beyond the 18 Gs that accepted theory of the time thought
survivable. Early tests were conducted using a dummy, but Stapp soon insisted that conditions were right to use
himself as a human guinea pig.
Exercising a modicum of caution on the first ride in December 1947, Stapp used only one rocket. The Gee
Whiz barely reached 90 miles an hour, and the deceleration was only about 10 Gs. So Stapp began to increase

the number of rockets, and by August 1948, he had completed 16 runs, surviving not just 18 Gs but a bonejarring 35 Gs.
Battered though he was by the tests, Stapp was reluctant to allow anyone else to ride the Gee Whiz. He feared
that if certain people, especially test pilots, were used, their hotheadedness might produce a disaster. Volunteers
made some runs, but whenever a new approach was developed, Stapp was his own one and only choice as test
subject. There was one obvious benefit: Stapp could write extremely accurate physiological and psychological
reports concerning the effects of his experiments.
Yet while the Gee Whiz allowed Stapp to answer the existing deceleration questions, new ones emerged.
What could be done to help pilots ejecting from supersonic aircraft to survive? Stapp set out to find the answer
on a new sled called Sonic Wind No. 1, which could travel at 750 miles per hour, and withstand an astonishing
150 Gs. In January 1954, Stapp embarked on a series of runs leading to his 29th and final ride, which took him to
above the speed of sound, protected only by a helmet and visor. And when the sled stopped, in a mere 1.4
seconds, Stapp was subjected to more Gs than anyone had ever willingly endured. He wasn't just proving that
people could survive a high-speed ejection, he was establishing the parameters of human survivability to G
force: new biological boundaries were being set.
That successful run on 10 December 1954 provided Colonel Stapp with an opportunity he had longed for - to
promote the cause of automobile safety. Stapp had long realised that his research was just as applicable to cars


as it was to airplanes. At every opportunity, Stapp urged the car industry to examine his crash data, and to
design their cars with safety in mind. He lobbied hard for the installation of seat belts and improvements such as
collapsing steering wheels.
'I'm leading a crusade for the prevention of needless deaths,' he told Time magazine in 1955. Stapp's work in
aeronautics and automobiles continued right up until his death in 1999 at age 89. He had received numerous
awards and honours. But the best was the knowledge that his work had helped to save many lives, not just in
aviation, but on highways around the world.
39: What does the writer mean when he says 'The sky now truly was the limit' (line 6)?
A. All previous restrictions on flight had been removed.
B. Stapp had set an unbeatable scientific record.
C. A new design was needed for high-altitude planes.

A. He was a better scientist than his contemporaries.
B. He was ideally suited to employment at Aero Med Lab.
C. He was able to solve scientific problems at great speed.
D. He was able to prove a theory set out by others.
41: Why did Stapp usually insist on doing test runs on Gee Whiz himself?

B. He felt his powers of observation were superior to those of other people.
C. He had little faith in the overall safety of the equipment.
D. He was aware that some people were psychologically unsuited to the tests.

special holidays. But many people around the world will be celebrating holidays you might never have heard of
during November and December.
In the Bahamas, Junkanoo is held on December 26 and January 1. The Bahamas are islands that make up a

nation in the Atlantic Ocean near Florida. Junkanoo begins before the sun comes up. That's when the Junkanoo
parade starts. Dancers in costumes take to the streets. People along the parade route are invited to join in with
the dancers. Junkanoo grew popular during the 16 th and 17th centuries. African slaves were given a special
holiday after Christmas. They were allowed to leave the fields and observe the holiday with their families. They
celebrated with African music, dance, and costumes. After the slaves were freed, people in the Bahamas
continued the Junkanoo tradition.
In Mexico, El Dia de Los Muertos ("Day of the Dead") isn't about ghosts. It is about remembering relatives
and life. On the Day of the Dead, family members gather in cemeteries. They decorate family members' graves
with colourful flowers. They tell stories about past relatives. They also have a picnic with lots of great food. On
this holiday, death is not seen as something to fear. Instead, it is seen as just another part of life. "Our relatives
wouldn't want us to cry," said Miguel, a Mexican boy. "So we are happy instead. " The Day of the Dead is held
on the first or second of November.
In Thailand, Loy Krathong is held during the full moon in November. Thailand is a country in Southeast
Asia. Before the festival, people make krathongs. A krathong is a small boat made of a banana leaf. Each
krathong contains a flower, a candle, and three incense sticks. Incense sticks produce a pleasant smell when
burned. During the festival, people light their candles and float their krathongs down rivers. Loy Krathong also
includes feasts and fireworks.
In several countries, the day after Christmas is a holiday. In those countries, that day is called Boxing Day.

Read the following passage and mark the correct answer to each of the questions.
Some people assume that medieval castles served as homes for the wealthy and powerful. Although this is
true, it is not the whole truth. Castles were communities made up of the wealthy owners, nobles, religious

leaders, merchants, and farmers. The building itself was only a part of the castle. Thick walls extended around
the castle structure and the village that sat next to the castle.
Castles played an important role in feudalism. The word "castle" comes from a Latin word that means
fortress. A castle helped a king or vassal defend the land where the castle stood. It also served as a place to
house the king or vassal’s army, weapons, and food. A castle was also the center of local government. Although
they were frequently attacked, castles were the safest dwellings of the time. A castle was typically built on the
top of a hill to protect the community from invasions. Soldiers on the walls kept a lookout for attacking armies.
Life inside the castle walls was difficult and crowded. There was not much land to build on, so people built
houses that were narrow and tall. Many buildings were five or six stories. Streets were also narrow and dirty.
People would throw their garbage and waste out into the streets. Disease spread quickly. At night the streets
were dark and unsafe. People would rarely go out after dark without their servants. When they did, they carried
torches or candles. Fire was one of the greatest dangers for a medieval town. Most houses were made of wood.

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.


In the 1960s, the first human explorations of space began. Today scientists often debate the future of manned
space flight. Should we aim for the moon again, or for Mars? It always comes down to concerns about the
length and expense of such journeys.
Mars is a much more difficult challenge than the moon. Mars is so far away that is world take about two years
for a human crew to complete the round trip, including time spent to the planet’s surface. On the other hand, we
know the moon can be visited in a fraction of that time, as was proven by the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.
Distance poses other dilemmas. A popular movie, Apollo 13, tells the exciting story of how NASA managed to
rescue the astronauts of the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission to the moon. With the tremendous distance between
Earth and Mars, emergency retrievals like this would be impossible. The moon seems more feasible from this
point of view.
As with most projects, the crux of the matter is economics. In fact, NASA has estimated that a manned
flight to Mars would cost five hundred billion dollars! Critics argue that Mars is too far and the moon is too
useless to us to justify any manned space flights at all. Nevertheless, should we choose to go ahead with space
travel, it seems that returning to the moon is a much more likely proposition than Mars.

answer to each of the questions.
When ice skating, it is very important to have good equipment and use it properly. When choosing a pair of
skates, look for high quality skating shoes with sharp steel blades. Choosing the right size stakes is also
important. The leather shoes, which are called boots, should reach up to about the middle of your calf.
Make sure that your skate boots fit snugly. First, put on two pairs of cotton or lightweight wool socks. Then,
step into your skates. Your heels should not be able to slide up and down in the boots. If your boots do not fit
properly, they will not support your feet, and the skates won’t respond correctly when you move your muscles.
It will look like your ankles are weak and will cause you severe discomfort.

Each boot is attached a metal blade by crews at two different places. The blade of skate is a narrow piece of
steel that is strong enough to support the weight of your body. The bottom of the blade, which touches the ice, is
hollowed out, leaving two very thin edges. Stakes have guards, pieces of wood or rubber that fit over blades to
protect these edges. You should use these guards when wearing your skates off the ice, and when you are not
using your skates.
28: According to the passage, why it is important that your skate boots fit snugly?
A. So your ankles will hurt more.
B. So your feet will stay warm.
C. So your heels will slide up and down.
D. So your skates will respond to your muscle movement.
29: Which of the following is closest in meaning to "equipment" in paragraph 1?
A. Electrical devices. B. Necessary things.
C. Clothing.
D. Health
30: What does "it" in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Buying good skates.
B. Recording to your muscles.
C. Wearing skates that don’t fit.
D. Wearing skates that fit snugly.
31: Based on the information in paragraph 3, what can be inferred about skate blades?
A. Blades can be damaged if worn on cement.
B. You should never wear your skates when you are not on ice.
C. Blades are made of steel and very difficult to damage.
D. Skate blades are dull.


32: What is the main purpose of paragraph 3?
A. To inform skaters about a possible danger.
C. To promote a particular kind of ice skate.

B. To instruct skaters on blade maintenance.
D. To explain how boots should fit.

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.
Although speech is generally accepted as the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of
communicating without using words. In every known culture, signals, signs, symbols, and gestiưes are
commonly utilized as instruments of communication. There is a great deal of agreement among communication
scientists as to what each of these methods is and how each differs from the others. For instance, the basic
function of any signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as, for
example, the dots and dashes that can be applied in a telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential
for communication through these dots and dashes - short and long intervals as the circuit is broken - is very
great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain agreed upon meaning: that is, they convey
information in and of themselves. Two examples are the hexagonal red sign that conveys the meaning of stop,
and the red and white swirled pole outside a shop that communicates the meaning of barber.
Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with
the receiver’s culture perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers with an
auditory symbol of approval. In other cultures, if done in unison, applauding can be a symbol of the audience’s
discontent with the performance. Gestures such as weaving and handshaking also communicate certain culture
messages. Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they also have a major disadvantage
in communication. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to
the receiver. Without an exchange of ideas, interaction comes to a halt. As a result, means of communication
intended to be used across long distances and extended periods must be based upon speech. To radio, television,
and the telephone, one must add fax, paging systems, electronic mail, and the Internet, and no one doubts but
that there are more means of communication on the horizon.
3: The word "It" in paragraph 1 refers to.......
A. function
B. environment
C. signal
D. way

A. It is dependent upon the advances made by inventors.

A. symbols are very easy to define and interpret.
B. signals, signs, symbols, and guestures are forms of communication.
C. only some cultures have signals, signs, and symbols.

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.
Fertilizer is any substance that can be added to the soil to provide chemical elements essential for plant
nutrition so that the yield can be increased. Natural substances such as animal droppings, ashes from wood fires,

and straw have been used as fertilizers in fields for thousands of years, and lime has been used since Romans
introduced it during the Empire. It was not until the nineteenth century, however, that chemical fertilizer
became widely accepted as normal agricultural practice. Today, both nature and synthetic fertilizers are
available in a variety of forms.
A complete fertilizer is usually marked with a formula consisting of three numbers, such as 4-8-2 or 6-6-4,
which designate the percentage of content of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash in the order stated. Synthetic
fertilizers, produced by factories, are available in either solid or liquid form. Solids, in the shape of chemical
granules, are in demand because they are not only easy to store but also easy to apply. Recently, liquids have
shown as increase in popularity, accounting for 20 percent of the nitrogen fertilizer used throughout the world.
Formerly, powders were also used, but they were found to be less convenient than either solids or liquids.
Fertilizers have no harmful effects on the soil, the crop, or the customer as long as they are used according to
recommendations based on the result of local research. Occasionally, however, farmers may use more fertilizer
than necessary, in which case the plants do not need, and therefore do not absorb, the total amount of fertilizer
applied to the soil. The surplus of fertilizer thus can damage not only the crop but also the animals or human
beings that eat the crop.
Furthermore, fertilizer that is not used in the production of a healthy plant is leached into the water table.
Accumulations of chemical fertilizer in the water supply accelerate the growth of algae and, consequently, may
disturb the natural cycle of life, contributing to the death of fish. Too much fertilizer on grass can cause
digestive disorders in cattle and in infants who drink cow’s milk. Fertilizer must be used with great attention to
responsible use or it can harm the environment.

Read the following passage and mark the correct answer to each of the questions.
THE GIANT PANDA
Deep in a forest, a black-and-white bear sits peacefully. It chews the green leaves of a plant. The bear is alone,
but there are others not too far away. Later, it might amble over to find them. They may play together. This is
the giant panda in nature.
The giant panda is a bear native to China. It is unusual for a bear to be found only in one place. For over a
hundred years, scientists thought that giant pandas might belong to the raccoon family. Then research in the
1980s showed that giant pandas are bears after all. These bears are black and white, with black patches of fur
around their eyes.
Giant pandas live in bamboo forests, high in the mountains in the western part of China. This is their habitat.
Here they eat bamboo. Bamboo is a grass that can grow 100 feet high. It has hollow green stalks. Giant pandas
peel off the leaves and stems to eat. Their paws are well adapted to this task. They have a special thumb that
helps them grasp the bamboo. Giant pandas spend about 10-15 hours a day eating this plant.

Giant pandas are an endangered species. Based on a survey completed in the mid-1980s, researchers
determined there were only 1,000 giant pandas left in the wild. This was the lowest number ever recorded. One
reason the population of giant pandas had declined is that they had less bamboo to eat. A lot of the bamboo
forests where giant pandas lived had been wiped out by logging. Logging is the practice of cutting down trees
for lumber. Loggers had cut down the forests for fire wood, and the cleared land was used for farming.
In 1998, the Chinese government banned logging in the giant panda habitats in order to protect giant pandas.
However, there are still some threats to giant pandas, and giant pandas are killed each year. China has more
people than any country in the world, and these people need food, clothing, and homes. People still illegally log
in the giant panda habitats. In addition, sometimes giant pandas get killed by getting caught in traps that people
set to hunt other animals, such as deer and takins.
Conservationists and the Chinese government have tried to eliminate the threats to giant pandas. Thanks to
their efforts, the giant panda population overall has been increasing. In 2004, the giant panda population reached
1,600, and it continues to grow. Many people are working hard to strengthen the protection of giant panda
habitats, learn more about the bears, and end the remaining threats. Thus, the future looks hopeful for giant
pandas.
