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 following questions.
Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture from food helped to preserve it, and that the
easiest way to do this was to expose the food to sun and wind, In this way the North American Indians produced
pemmican (dried meat ground into powder and made into cakes), the Scandinavians made stockfish and the Arabs dried dates and “apricot leather”
All foods contain water – cabbage and other leaf vegetables contain as much as 93% water, potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean meat 75% and fish anything from 80% to 60% depending on how fatty it is If
this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which cause food to bad is checked.
Fruit is sun-dried in Asia Minor, Greece, Spain and other Mediterranean countries, and also in California, South Africa and Australia The methods used carry, but in general the fruit is spread out on trays in drying yards in the hot sun In order to prevent darkening, pears, peaches and apricots are exposed to the fumes
of burning sulphur before drying Plums for making prunes, and certain varieties of grapes for making raisins and currants, are dipped in an alkaline solution in order to crack the skins of the fruit slightly and remove their wax coating, so increasing the rate of drying
Nowadays most of foods are dried mechanically; the conventional method of such dehydration is to put
food in chambers through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about 1100C at entry to about 450C at exit.
This is usual method for drying such things as vegetables, minced meat, and fish
Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated horizontal steel cylinder or by spraying them into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes In the first case, the dried material is scraped off the roller as a thin film which is then broken up into small, though still relatively coarse flakes In the second process it falls to the bottom of the chamber as a fine powder Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup, the ingredients are dried separately and then mixed
Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans of frozen, and they do not need to be stored in special conditions For these reasons they are invaluable to climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them

Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe and was perhaps the first to form It is among the ten most common elements on Earth as well and one of the most useful for industrial purposes Under normal conditions of temperature, hydrogen is a gas Designated as H, hydrogen is the first element in the periodic table because it contains only one proton Hydrogen can combine with a large number of other elements, forming more compounds than any of the others Pure hydrogen seldom occurs naturally, but it exists in most organic compounds, that is, compounds that contain carbon, which account for a very large number of compounds Moreover, hydrogen is found in inorganic compounds For example, when hydrogen burns in the presence ofoxygen, it forms water
The lightest and simplest of the elements, hydrogen has several properties that make it valuable for many industries It releases more heat per unit of weight than any other fuel In rocket engines, tons of hydrogen and oxygen are burned, and hydrogen is used with oxygen for welding torches that produce temperatures as high as 4,000 degrees F and can be used in cutting steel Fuel cells to generate electricity operate on hydrogen and oxygen
Hydrogen also serves to prevent metals from tarnishing during beat treatments by removing the oxygen
from them Although it would be difficult to remove the oxygen by itself, hydrogen readily combines with
oxygen to form water, which can be heated to steam and easily removed Furthermore, hydrogen is one of the coolest refrigerants It does not become a liquid until it reaches temperatures of-425 degrees F Pure hydrogen gas is used in large electric generators to cool the coils
Future uses of hydrogen include fuel for cars, boats, planes, and other forms of transportation that currently require petroleum products These fuels would be lighter, a distinct advantage in the aerospace industry, and they would also be cleaner, thereby reducing pollution in the atmosphere
Hydrogen is also useful in the food industry for a process known as hydrogenation Products such as
margarine and cooking oils are changed from liquids to semisolids by combining hydrogen with their
molecules Soap manufacturers also use hydrogen for this purpose In addition, in the chemical industry, hydrogen is used to produce ammonia, gasoline, methyl alcohol, and many other important products

Question 43: What is the author's main purpose in the passage?
A To explain the industrial uses of hydrogen
B To describe the origin of hydrogen in the universe
C To discuss the process of hydrogenation
D To give examples of how hydrogen and oxygen combine
Question 44: How can hydrogen be used to cut steel?
A By cooling the steel to a very low temperature
B By cooling the hydrogen with oxygen to a very low temperature
C By heating the steel to a very high temperature
D By heating the hydrogen with oxygen to a very high temperature
Question 45: The word "readily" in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by
Question 46: The word "combining" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to
Question 47: The word "them" in paragraph 3 refers to _
Question 48: How does hydrogen generally occur?
Trang 5A It is freely available in nature B It is contained in many compounds.
C It is often found in pure form D It is released during hydrogenation
Question 49: The author mentions all of the following as uses for hydrogen EXCEPT
A to remove tarnish from metals
B to produce fuels such as gasoline and methyl alcohol
C to operate fuel cells that generate electricity
D to change solid foods to liquids
Question 50: It can be inferred from the passage that hydrogen
A is too dangerous to be used for industrial purposes
B has many purposes in a variety of industries
C has limited industrial uses because of its dangerous properties
D is used in many industries for basically the same purpose
