Over a period of time, many habitats change with respect to the types of plants and animals that live there This change is known as succession

Succession occurs because plants and animals cause a change in the environment in which they live The

first weeds and grasses that appear on a bare field, for example, change the environment by shielding the

soil from the direct sunlight As these plants spread, the ground surface becomes cooler and moisture than

it was originally Thus, the environment at the ground surface has been changed The new surface

conditions favor the sprouting of shrubs As shrubs grow, they kill the grasses by preventing light from

reaching them and also build up the soil in the area In addition, they attract animals that also enhance the soil Pine seedlings soon take hold and as they grow, they in turn shade out the shrubs They are not able

to shade out oak and hickory seedlings; however, they have found the forest floor suitable These

seedlings grow into that eventually shade out the pines

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 from 55 to 64.

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

Trang 40

Question 55: 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 convince people to eat 'designer' eggs and egg substitutes.

D To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten

Question 56: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases?

Question 57: Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat'?

Question 59: According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested

daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol?

Question 60: The word 'portrayed' could best be replaced by which of the following?

Question 61: What is the meaning of 'back up'?

Question 62: What is meant by the phrase 'mixed results'?

A The results are blended B The results are inconclusive.

C The results are mingled together D The results are a composite of things.

Question 63: According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of following types of

eggs EXCEPT?

Question 64: According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol?

A decreasing egg intake and fat intake B reducing egg intake but not fat intake
