VII. Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question. Write your answers in the space provided. (2,0 points)

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.

1. 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

A. increasing price B. decreased production

5. 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

VIII. Read the text and choose the best answer.

Bats are not the dirty, bloodthirsty monsters that they are portrayed to be in vampire films. These animals groom themselves carefully like cats and only rarely carry rabies. Of the hundreds of species of bats, only three rely on blood meals. In fact, the majority eat fruit, insects, spiders, or small animals. They consume an enormous number of pests, pollinate many varieties of plant life, and help reforest barren land by excreting millions of undigested seeds.

Almost all bats use echolocation to navigate, especially at night. As they fly, they emit a series of high-pitched squeaks at the rate of about fifty per minute. As these signals bounce off objects in their path, an echo is detected by the bats' sensitive ears which informs them of the direction and distance of obstacles so that they can undertake corrective or evasive action. But bats are not blind as widely assumed. In fact, all species of bats can see, probably about as well as human beings.

It is also a little-known fact that bats are highly social creatures. Thousands or even millions of individual bats may belong to a colony, hanging upside down in caves or in trees. Within their social systems, bats assume specialized roles. Some may guard the entrance to their caves, others may scout for food, and still others may warn the colony of approaching danger. A nursery colony may be part of a larger colony to provide mother bats with a safe, supportive environment in which to rear their young.

1. What is the author's opinion of bats?

A. They are dirty and they carry rabies.

B. They are like the monsters in vampire films.

C. They are clean, helpful members of the animal world.

D. They are not very important in the animal world.

2. According to the passage, how are bats like cats?

A. They both carry rabies. B. Cats groom themselves, and so do bats.

C. Both cats and bats eat pests. D. Bats use echolocation, and cats do, too.

3. What do most bats eat?

A. Blood meals B. Fruit and insects C. Leaves and trees D. Large animals

4. The word “enormous” in line 4 could best be replaced by ________.

A. very heavy B. very regular C. very large D. very necessary

5. Which of the following are NOT characteristics of most bats?

A. They pollinate plants. B. They have specialized roles in their colony.

C. They use echolocation. D. They eat blood.

6. How do bats help reforest the land?

A. By eating pests. B. By hanging upside down in trees at night

C. By excreting seeds D. By taking evasive action

Two of the most dangerous storms which affect America are hurricanes and tornadoes. They are very much feared by anyone who may live in the path of their destruction.

Every year homes are destroyed by their fury and often lives are lost. Most people who live near the coast are forced to evacuate their homes and move to safer areas until the storm passes. Floods are caused along the coasts by both heavy rain and a storm tide that is considerably above normal water level. The high winds, coastal flooding, and heavy rains associated with a hurricane cause enormous damage.

Hurricanes usually develop between July and October. Once they hit land they carry tremendous power with driving rain and wind.

Tornadoes are violent low - pressured storms. These storms occur most often during the summer months and are noticeable by their strong wind and lack of rain. The sky turns black as dust is sucked up into the air. Tornadoes are capable of lifting quite heavy objects from the ground. They can pick up trees and cars right into the air and even uplift heavier objects such as homes and railway cars.

Both hurricanes and tornadoes cause millions of dollars worth of damage to life and property every year. Today they can be predicted more easily than in the past, but they cannot be stopped or ignored.

1. What are two of the most dangerous storms which affect America?

D. Between July and October.

3. What is the major similarity between both a hurricane and a tornado?

A. They cover only a small area.

B. They can cause great damage.

C. They are not accompanied by rain.

D. They have either wind or speed.
