Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
 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 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 dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level.
Question 45: What is the main purpose of the passage?
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.
Question 46: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases?
A. minerals	B. cholesterol	C. canola oil	D. vitamins
Question 47: Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat'?
A. in fact	B. a little	C. indefinitely	D. a lot
Question 48: What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?
A. increasing price	B. decreased production
C. dietary changes in hens	D. concerns about cholesterol
Question 49: According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol?
A. 3/4	B. 2/3	C. 1/2	D. 1/3
Question 50: The word 'portrayed' could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. studied	B. destroyed	C. tested	D. described
Question 51: What is the meaning of 'back up'? 
A. reverse	B. advance	C. block	D. support
Question 52: What is meant by the phrase 'mixed results'?
A. The results are blended.	B. The results are a composite of things.
C. The results are inconclusive.	D. The results are mingled together.
Question 53: According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of following types of eggs EXCEPT?
A. boiled	B. poached	C. scrambled	D. fried
Question 54: According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol?
A. reducing egg intake but not fat intake	B. increasing egg intake and fat intake
C. decreasing egg intake and fat intake	D. increasing egg intake but not fat intake
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. 
Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this discovery has been. Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power. It was used to drive engines and was passed through pipes and radiators to warm rooms. Petrol mixed with air was the next invention that provided power. Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine. Beyond these simple and direct uses, those forms have not much adaptability. On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways. From the powerful voltages that drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge electric magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by electricity. An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten metal in a furnace, or to boil a jug for a cup of coffee. Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed to the full, electricity is the greatest power in the world. It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted. It travels so easily and with incredible speed along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances. To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned. In Australia they use coal or water to drive this machinery. When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without polluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal. Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident. A tragedy once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity. The reactor leaked, which caused many deaths through radiation. Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the environment. They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays. Most importantly, they hope to trap sunlight more efficiently. We do use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet improvement in the capacity of the solar cells to create more current is necessary. When this happens, electric cars will be viable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks and cars that burn fossil fuels. 
Question 55: The author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in the first paragraph to ______.
	 A. suggest that electricity should be alternated with safer sources of energy 
B. emphasize the usefulness and adaptability of electricity 
C. imply that electricity is not the only useful source of energy 
D. discuss which source of energy can be a suitable alternative to electricity 
Question 56: Before electricity, what was sometimes passed through pipes to heat rooms? 
A. Gas. 	B. Petrol. 	C. Steam. 	D. Hot wind. 
Question 57: What does the author mean by saying that electricity is flexible? 
A. It is cheap and easy to use. 	B. It is used to drive motor engines. 
C. It can be adapted to various uses. 	D. It can be made with ease. 
Question 58: What do we call machines that make electricity? 
A. Voltages. 	B. Electric magnets. 	C. Generators or turbines. 	D. Pipes and radiators. 
Question 59: The main forms of power used to generate electricity in Australia are ______. 
A. atomic power and water 	B. water and coal 	C. sunlight and wind power 	D. wind and gas 
Question 60: The word "they" in the last paragraph refers to ______. 
A. harmful effects 	B. the tides 	C. scientists 	D. new ways 
Question 61: Electric magnets are used in steel works to ______. 
A. lift heavy weights up to ten tons 	B. test the steel for strength 
C. heat the molten steel 	D. boil a jug of water 
Question 62: The advantage of harnessing the power of the tides and of sunlight to generate electricity is that they ______. 
	A. do not pollute the environment 	B. are more reliable 
C. are more adaptable 	D. do not require attention 
Question 63: Which of the following power sources causes pollution by emitting harmful gases? 
A. Sunlight. 	B. Petrol. 	C. Water. 	D. Wind. 
Question 64: The best title for this passage could be ______. 
A. “Types of Power Plants” 	B. “Electricity: Harmful Effects on Our Life” 
C. “How to Produce Electricity” 	D. “Why Electricity Is So Remarkable”
