Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C or D to answer the comprehension questions
Are organically grown foods the best food 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 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 unfertilized 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 supply and buy only expensive organic foods instead
45 The word “Advocates” is closest in meaning to which of the following?
46 The word “others” refers to
A advantages B advocates C organic foods D products
47 The “welcome development” mentioned in line 6 is an increase in
A interest in food safety and nutrition among North Americans
B the nutritional quality of the typical North American diet
C the amount of healthy food grown in North America
D the number of consumers in North America
48 According to the first paragraph, which of the following is true about the term “organic foods”?
A It is accepted by most nutritionists
B It has been used only in recent years
C It has no fixed meaning
D It is seldom used by consumers
49 The word “unsubstantiated” is closest in meaning to
A unbelievable B uncontested C unpopular D unverified
50 The word “maintain” has closest meaning with

51 The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy organic foods instead of conventionally grown foods because
A organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally grown foods
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 too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to grow food crops
52 According to the last paragraph, consumers who believe that organic foods are better than conventionally grown foods are often

Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C or D to answer the comprehension questions
The Roman alphabet took thousands of years to develop, from the picture writing of the ancient Egyptians through modifications by Phoenicians, Greek, Romans, and others Yet in just
a dozen years, one man, Sequoyah, invented an alphabet for the Cherokee people Born in eastern Tennessee, Sequoyah was a hunter and a silversmith in his youth, as well as an able interpreter who knew Spanish, French and English
Sequoyah wanted his people to have the secret of the “talking leaves” as he called his books
of white people, and so he set out to design a written form of Cherokee His chief aim was to record his people’s ancient tribal customs He began by designing pictographs for every word in the Cherokee vocabulary Reputedly his wife, angry with him for his neglect of garden and house, burned his notes, and he had to start over This time, having concluded that picture-writing was
cumbersome, he made symbols for the sounds of Cherokee language Eventually he refined his
system to eighty-five characters, which he borrowed from the Roman, Greek, and Hebrew alphabets He presented this system to the Cherokee General Council in 1821, and it was wholeheartedly approved The response was phenomenal Cherokees who had struggled for months to learn English lettering school picked up the new system in days Several books were printed in Cherokee, and in 1828, a newspaper, the Cherokee Phoenix, was first published in the new alphabet Sequoyah was acclaimed by his people

In his later life, Sequoyah dedicated himself to the general advancement of his people He went to Washington, D.C., as a representative of the Western tribes He helped settled bitter differences among Cherokee after their forced movement by the federal government to the Oklahoma territory in the 1930s He died in Mexico in 1843 while searching for groups of lost Cherokee A statue of Sequoyah represents Oklahoma in the Statuary Hall in the Capitol building
