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 30 to 34 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!)

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 35 to 42
We are descendants of the ice age Periods of glaciation have spanned the whole of human existence for the past 2 million years The rapid melting of the continental glaciers at the end of the last ice age spurred one of the most dramatic climate changes in the history of the planet During this interglacial time, people were caught up in a cataclysm of human accomplishment, including the development of agriculture and animal husbandry Over the past few thousand years, the Earth’s climate has been extraordinarily beneficial, and humans have prospered
exceedingly well under a benign atmosphere Ice ages have dramatically affected life on Earth almost from the very beginning It is even possible that life itself significantly changed the climate All living organisms pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and eventually store it in sedimentary rocks within the Earth’s crust If too much carbon dioxide is lost, too much heat escapes out into the atmosphere This can cause the Earth to cool enough for glacial ice to spread across the land
Trang 5In general the reduction of the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been equalized by the input of carbon dioxide from such events as volcanic eruptions Man, however, is upsetting the equation by burning fossil fuels and destroying tropical rain forests, both of which release stored carbon dioxide This energizes the greenhouse effect and causes the Earth to warm If the warming is significant enough, the polar ice caps eventually melt
The polar ice caps drive the atmospheric and oceanic circulation systems Should the ice caps melt, warm tropical waters could circle the globe and make this a very warm, inhospitable planet Over the past century, the global sea level has apparently risen upwards of 6 inches, mainly because of the melting of glacial ice If present warming trends continue, the seas could rise as much as 6 feet by the next century This could flood coastal cities and fertile river deltas, where half the human population lives Delicate wetlands, where many marine species breed, also would be reclaimed by the sea In addition, more frequent and severe storms would batter coastal areas, adding to the disaster of the higher seas The continued melting of the great ice sheets in polar regions could cause massive amounts of ice to crash into the ocean This would further raise the sea level and release more ice, which could more than double the area of sea ice and increase correspondingly the amount of sunlight reflected back into space The cycle would then
be complete as this could cause global temperatures to drop enough to initiate another ice age Question 35 According to the passage, carbon dioxide is stored in each of the following
EXCEPT
A polar ice caps B sedimentary rocks C rain forests D fossil fuel
Question 36 Which of the following does the author NOT mention as a consequence of a large rise in global sea level?
A the destruction of wetlands B the flooding of cities
C a more diverse marine population D severe storms
Question 37 According to the passage, what is the relationship between carbon dioxide and the Earth’s climate?
A Carbon dioxide, which is trapped in glacial ice, is released when warm temperatures cause the ice melt
B The greenhouse effect, which leads to the warming of the climate, is result of too much carbon stored in the Earth’s crust
C Rain causes carbon dioxide to be washed out of the atmosphere and into the ocean
D An increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide results in the warming of the climate
Question 38 The word “beneficial” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to
A calm B inviting C thoughtful D favorable
Question 39 It can be inferred from the passage that the development of agriculture
Trang 6
A preceded the development of animal husbandry B withstood vast changes in the Earth’s climate
C did not take place during an ice age D was unaffected by the greenhouse effect Question 40 The word “this” in the third paragraph refers to
A man’s upsetting the equation B the reduction of the level of carbon dioxide
C a volcanic eruption D the melting of the polar ice caps
Question 41 The word “inhospitable” is closest in meaning to
A imperfect B uninhabitable C unlikable D cruel
Question 42 What is the main topic of the passage?
A The possibility that the polar ice caps will melt
B The coming of another ice age
C Man’s effect on the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere
D The climate of the Earth over the years
