questions
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
Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for
“no-aging” diets, new vitamins, and other wonder foods There are
numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are
superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally
superior to fertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than
fumigated grains and the like One thing that most organically
grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost
more than conventionally grown foods But in many cases
consumers are misled if they believe organic foods can
maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than
conventionally grown foods So there is real cause for concern
Trang 8if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust
the regular food and buy only expensive organic foods instead
Question 51: The word “Advocates” is closest in meaning to
which of the following ?
A Proponents B Inspectors C Consumers D
A the amount of health food grown in North American
B interest in food safety and nutritional quality of the typical
North American diet
C the number of consumers in North American
D the nutritional quality of the typical North American diet
Question 54: According to the first paragraph , which of the
following is true about the terms “ organic foods” ?
A It has been used only in recent years B It is seldom used by
Question 56: The word “maintain” is closest in meaning to _.
monitor
Question 57: Who does the author think should NOT buy organic
foods ?
A Advocated of organic food B Wealthy people C
Concerned consumers D Low income consumers
Question 58: The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers
Trang 9instead of conventionally grown foods because _.
A too many farmers will stop using conventional method to
grow food crops
B many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar
conventionally grown foods
C conventionally grown foods are more readily available than
organic foods
D organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than
conventionally grown foods
Question 59: According to the last paragraph, consumers who believe that
organic foods are better than conventionally grown
foods are often _
A wealthy B mistaken C thrifty D
careless
Question 60: What is the author’s attitude toward the claims made
by advocates of health foods?
Skeptical D Somewhat favorable

your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions

Christopher Columbus brought on his ships during his second
voyage to the New World Although fossil remains of “dawn
horses” have been excavated in several sites in Wyoming and New

contemporary horses, had been extinct several millennia before
onset of the Indian era Although moviegoers visualize an Indian as
a horse rider, Indians were not familiar with horses until the
Spanish brought them to Mexico, New Mexico, Florida, and the
West Indies in 1519 Those that escaped from the conquerors or
were left behind became the ancestors of the wild horses that still
roam the southwestern regions of the country The Indian tribe
scattered in the western plains began to breed horse about 1600

tribe during the winter However, mounted on horses, the hunting
team could cover ground within a substantial distance from their
camps and transport their game back to be roasted, dried into jerky,
or smoke for preservation The hunters responsible for tribe
provisions stayed on the move almost continuously, replacing their
earth-and-sod lodges with tepees Horses carried not only their
riders but also their possessions and booty The Blackfoot Indians
of the Canadian plains turned almost exclusive hunters, and the
Crow split off from the mainstream Indian farming in favor of
hunting In fact, some of the Apache splinter groups abandoned
agricultural cultivation altogether
The horse also drastically altered Indian warfare by allowing
rapid maneuvering before, during, and after skirmishes With the
advent of the horse, the Apache, Arapahoe, and Cheyenne
established themselves as territorial monopoly in the Plains
Because Indians did not have the wheel and had dragged their
belongings from one settlement to another, horse also enabled
them to become more mobile and expedient during tribal
migration In fact, the Cheyenne abolished the custom of
discarding belongings and tepee skins simply because there were
no means to transport them

Prehistoric horses were far removed from the horses that
Christopher Columbus brought on his ships during his second
voyage to the New World Although fossil remains of “dawn
Trang 34horses” have been excavated in several sites in Wyoming and New
Mexico, these animal, which were biologically different from
contemporary horses, had been extinct several millennia before
onset of the Indian era Although moviegoers visualize an Indian as
a horse rider, Indians were not familiar with horses until the
Spanish brought them to Mexico, New Mexico, Florida, and the
West Indies in 1519 Those that escaped from the conquerors or
were left behind became the ancestors of the wild horses that still
roam the southwestern regions of the country The Indian tribe
scattered in the western plains began to breed horse about 1600
The arrival of the horse produced a ripple effect throughout the
Great Plains as the Indians living there were not nomadic and
engaged in rudimentary farming and grazing land hunting
Tracking stampeding herds of buffalo and elk on foot was not the
best way to stock quantities of meat to adequately feed the entire
tribe during the winter However, mounted on horses, the hunting
team could cover ground within a substantial distance from their
camps and transport their game back to be roasted, dried into jerky,
or smoke for preservation The hunters responsible for tribe
provisions stayed on the move almost continuously, replacing their
earth-and-sod lodges with tepees Horses carried not only their
riders but also their possessions and booty The Blackfoot Indians
of the Canadian plains turned almost exclusive hunters, and the
Crow split off from the mainstream Indian farming in favor of
hunting In fact, some of the Apache splinter groups abandoned
agricultural cultivation altogether
The horse also drastically altered Indian warfare by allowing
rapid maneuvering before, during, and after skirmishes With the
advent of the horse, the Apache, Arapahoe, and Cheyenne
established themselves as territorial monopoly in the Plains
Because Indians did not have the wheel and had dragged their
belongings from one settlement to another, horse also enabled
them to become more mobile and expedient during tribal
migration In fact, the Cheyenne abolished the custom of
discarding belongings and tepee skins simply because there were
no means to transport them

C hunted down D dug up

communicated hunting games

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
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
Trang 39or 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
Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for
“no-aging” diets, new vitamins, and other wonder foods There are
numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are
superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally
superior to fertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than
fumigated grains and the like One thing that most organically
grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost
more than conventionally grown foods But in many cases
consumers are misled if they believe organic foods can
maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than
conventionally grown foods So there is real cause for concern
if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust
the regular food and buy only expensive organic foods instead
Question 71: The word “Advocates” is closest in meaning to
which of the following ?
A Proponents B Inspectors C Consumers D
A the amount of health food grown in North American
B interest in food safety and nutritional quality of the typical
North American diet
C the number of consumers in North American
D the nutritional quality of the typical North American diet
Question 74: According to the first paragraph , which of the
Trang 40following is true about the terms “ organic foods” ?
A It has been used only in recent years B It is seldom used by
Question 76: The word “maintain” is closest in meaning to _.

Question 77: Who does the author think should NOT buy organic
foods ?
A Advocated of organic food B Wealthy people C
Concerned consumers D Low income consumers
Question 78: The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers
with limited incomes buy organic foods
instead of conventionally grown foods because _.
A too many farmers will stop using conventional method to
grow food crops
B many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar
conventionally grown foods
C conventionally grown foods are more readily available than
organic foods
D organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than
conventionally grown foods
Question 79: According to the last paragraph, consumers who believe that
organic foods are better than conventionally grown
foods are often _
A wealthy B mistaken C thrifty D
careless
