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.

Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes sensitive to a substance that is harmless or even wholesome for the average person Milk, wheat, and egg, for example, rank among the most healthful and widely used foods Yet these foods can cause persons sensitive to them to suffer greatly At first, the body of the individual is not harmed by coming into contact with the substance After a varying interval of time, usually longer than a few weeks, the body becomes sensitive to it, and an allergy has begun to develop Sometimes it's hard to figure out if you have a food allergy, since it can show

up so many different ways Your symptoms could be caused by many other problems You may have rashes,

hives, joint pains mimicking arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression The most common food allergies are to milk, eggs, seafood, wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes Many of these allergies will not develop if these foods are not fed to an infant until her or his intestines mature at around seven months

Breast milk also tends to be protective Migraines can be set off by foods containing tyramine,

phenathylamine, monosodium glutamate, or sodium nitrate Common foods which contain these are chocolate, aged cheeses, sour cream, red wine, pickled herring, chicken livers, avocados, ripe bananas, cured meats, many Oriental and prepared foods (read the labels!) Some people have been successful in treating

their migraines with supplements of B-vitamins, particularly B6 and niacin Children who are hyperactive

may benefit from eliminating food additives, especially colorings, and foods high in salicylates from their

diets A few of these are almonds, green peppers, peaches, tea, grapes This is the diet made popular by

Iron production was revolutionized in the early eighteenth century when coke was first used instead of

charcoal for refining iron ore Previously the poor quality of the iron had restricted its use in architecture to items such as chains and tie bars for supporting arches, vaults, and walls With the improvement in refining ore, it was now possible to make cast-iron beams, columns, and girders During the nineteenth century further advances were made, notably Bessemer's process for converting iron into steel, which made the material more commercially viable

Iron was rapidly adopted for the construction of bridges, because its strength was far greater than that of stone or timber, but its use in the architecture of buildings developed more slowly By 1800 a complete internal iron skeleton for buildings had been developed in industrial architecture replacing traditional timber

beams, but it generally remained concealed Apart from its low cost, the appeal of iron as a building material

lay in its strength, its resistance to fire, and its potential to span vast areas As a result, iron became increasingly popular as a structural material for more traditional styles of architecture during the nineteenth century, but it was invariably concealed

Significantly, the use of exposed iron occurred mainly in the new building types spawned by the Industrial Revolution: in factories, warehouses, commercial offices, exhibition hall, and railroad stations, where its practical advantages far outweighed its lack of status Designers of the railroad stations of the new

age explored the potential of iron, covering huge areas with spans that surpassed the great vaults of medieval

churches and cathedrals Paxton's Crystal Palace, designed to house the Great Exhibition of 1851, covered an area of 1.848 feet by 408 feet in prefabricated units of glass set in iron frames The Paris Exhibition of 1889 included both the widest span and the greatest height achieved so far with the Halle Des Machines, spanning

362 feet, and the Eiffel Tower 1,000 feet high However, these achievements were mocked by the artistic elite of Paris as expensive and ugly follies Iron, despite its structural advantages, had little aesthetic status The use of an exposed iron structure in the more traditional styles of architecture was slower to develop

Câu 53: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A Advances in iron processing in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries

B The effects of the Industrial Revolution on traditional architectural styles

C Advantages of stone and timber over steel as a building material

D The evolution of the use of iron in architecture during the 1800's

Câu 54: The word "revolutionized" is closest in meaning to _.

A quickly started B gradually opened C dramatically changed D carefully examined

Câu 55: According to the passage, iron was NOT used for beams, columns, and girders prior to the early

eighteenth century because _

A all available iron was needed for other purposes

B limited mining capability made iron too expensive

Trang 7

C iron was considered too valuable for use in public buildings

D the use of charcoal for refining ore produced poor quality iron

Câu 56: Iron replaced stone and timber in the building of bridges because iron was considered .

A more beautiful B new and modern C much stronger D easier to transport

Câu 57: The word "it" refers to _.

A industrial architecture B internal iron skeleton C stone D strength

Câu 58: The word "surpassed" is closest in meaning to _.

A imitated B exceeded C approached D included

Câu 59: According to paragraph 3, the architectural significance of the Halle Des Machines was its _.

C unequaled beauty D prefabricated unites of glass

Câu 60: How did the artistic elite mentioned in the passage react to the buildings at the Paris Exhibition?

A They tried to copy them B They ridiculed them

is best explained by the _

A impracticality of using iron for small, noncommercial buildings

B association of iron architecture with the problems of the Industrial Revolution

C general belief that iron offered less resistance to fire and harsh weather than traditional materials

D general perception that iron structures were not aesthetically pleasing

A the gradual inclusion of exposed iron in traditional styles of architecture

B further improvements in iron processing methods

C the return to traditional building materials for use in commercial structures

D the decreased use of stone and timber as a building material
