Read the following passage and indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 26 to 33 Lighthouses are towers with strong lights that help mariners know their position, inform them that land is near, and warn them of dangerous rocks and reefs They are placed at prominent points on the coast and on islands, reefs, and sandbars
Every lighthouse has a distinctive pattern of light known as its characteristic There are five basic characteristics: fixed, flashing, occulting, group flashing, and group occulting A fixed signal is a steady beam A flashing signal has periods of darkness longer than periods of light, while an occulting signal’s periods of light are longer A group-flashing light gives off two or more flashes at regular intervals, and a group-occulting signal consists of a fixed light with two or more periods of darkness at regular intervals Some lighthouses use lights of different colors as well, and today, most lighthouses are also equipped with radio beacons The three type of apparatus used to produce the signals are the catoptric, in which metal is used to reflect the light; the dioptric, in which glass is used; and the catadioptric, in which both glass and metal are used
In the daytime, lighthouses can usually be identified by their structure alone The most typical structure is
a tower tapering at the top, but some, such as the Bastion Lighthouse on the Saint Lawrence River, are shaped like pyramids, and others, such as the Race Rock Light, look like wooden houses sitting on high platforms Still others, such as the American Shoal Lighthouse off the Florida Coast, are skeletal towers of steel Where lighthouses might be confused in daylight, they can be distinguished by day-maker patterns- designs of checks and stripes painted in vivid colors on lighthouse walls
In the past, the job of lighthouse keeper was lonely and difficult, if somewhat romantic Lighthouse keepers put in hours of tedious work maintaining the lights Today, lighthouses are almost entirely automated with humans supplying only occasional maintenance Because of improvements in navigational technology, the importance of lighthouses has diminished There only about 340 functioning lighthouses in existence 1n the United States today, compared to about 1,500 in 1900, and there are only about 1,400 functioning lighthouses outside the United States Some decommission lighthouses have been preserved as historical
monuments

Read the following passage and indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50 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 disease 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 substitute eggs are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked They have the advantage of having lower 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 Question 44: What is the main purpose of this passage?
A To convince people to eat "designer" eggs and egg substitutes
B To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten
C To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level
D To inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol
