PASSAGE 1: ( 10 pts)
Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question.
The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health Although science has made
enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to
eat Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well., especially cancer of the colon People of
different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the characteristic foods
they consume
That food is related to illness is not a new discovery In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites (commonly used to preserve color in meat) as well as other food
additives caused cancer Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes
more difficult all the time to know which ingredients on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful
The additives that we eat are not all so direct Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows
Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue
A healthy diet is directly related to good health Often we are unaware of detrimental substances we ingest Sometimes well-meaning farmers or others who do not realize the consequences add these substances to food without our knowledge
41 How has science done a disservice to people?
A Because of science, disease caused by contaminated food has been virtually eradicated
B It caused a lack of information concerning the value of food
C As a result of scientific intervention, some potentially harmful substances have been added to our food
D The scientists have preserved the color of meats, but not of vegetables

Trang 7A supine B unlikely C healthy D predisposed
43 What are nitrates used for?
A They preserve flavor in packaged foods B They preserve the colour of meat
C They are the objects of research D They cause the animals to become fatter

45 The word “these” refers to .
A meats B colors C researchers D nitrates and nitrites
46 The word “carcinogenic” is closest in meaning to .
A trouble-making B color-retaining C money-making D cancer-causing
47 All of the following statements are TRUE except
A Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons
B Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals
C Researchers have known about the potential hazards of food additives for more than forty-five years
D Food may cause forty percent of the cancer in the world
48 The word “additives” is closest in meaning to .
A added substances B dangerous substances C natural substances D benign
substances
49 What is the best title for this passage?
A Harmful and Harmless Substances in Food B Improving Health through a Natural Diet
C The Food You Eat Can Affect Your Health D Avoiding Injurious Substances in Food
50 The word “ fit” is closest in meaning to .

Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question.
Commuting is the practice of travelling a long distance to a town or city to work each day,
and then travelling home again in the evening The word commuting comes from commutation
ticket, a US rail ticket for repeated journeys, called a season ticket in Britain Regular travellers are
called commuters
The US has many commuters A few, mostly on the East Coast, commute by train or subway, but most depend on the car Some leave home very early to avoid the traffic jams, and sleep in their cars until their office opens Many people accept a long trip to work so that they can live in quiet bedroom communities away from the city, but another reason is ‘white flight’ In the 1960s most cities began to desegregate their schools, so that there were no longer separate schools for white and black children Many white families did not want to send their children to desegregated schools, so they moved to the suburbs, which have their own schools, and where, for various reasons, few black people live
Millions of people in Britain commute by car or train Some spend two or three hours a day travelling, so that they and their families can live in suburbia or in the countryside Cities are surrounded by commuter belts Part of the commuter belt around London is called the stockbroker belt because it contains houses where rich business people live Some places are becoming dormitory towns, because people sleep there but take little part in local activities
Most commuters travel to and from work at the same time, causing the morning and evening rush hours, when buses and trains are crowded and there are traffic jams on the roads Commuters
on trains rarely talk to each other and spend their journey reading, sleeping or using their mobile phones, though this is not popular with other passengers Increasing numbers of people now work at
home some days of the week, linked to their offices by computer, a practice called telecommuting.
Cities in both Britain and the US are trying to reduce the number of cars coming into town each day Some companies encourage car pooling (called car sharing in Britain), an arrangement for people who live and work near each other to travel together Some US cities have a public service that helps such people to contact each other, and traffic lanes are reserved for car-pool vehicles But
cars and petrol/gas are cheap in the US, and many people prefer to drive alone because it gives
them more freedom In Britain many cities have park-and-ride schemes, car parks on the edge of the city from which buses take drivers into the centre

University Press, 2000)
