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
Most human diets contain between 10 and 15 percent of their total
calories as protein. The rest of the dietary energy comes from

carbohydrates, fats, and in some people, alcohol. The proportion of
calories from fats varies from 10 percent in poor communities to 40
percent or more in rich communities.
In addition to providing energy, fats have several other functions in the
body. The fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K, are dissolved in fats, as their
name implies. Good sources of these vitamins have high oil or fat content,
and the vitamins are stored in the body’s fatty tissues. In the diet, fats
cause food to remain longer in the stomach, thus increasing the feeling of
fullness for some time after a meal is eaten. Fats add variety, taste, and
texture to foods, which accounts for the popularity of fried foods. Fatty
deposits in the body have an insulating and protective value. The curves
of the human female body are due mostly to strategically located fat
deposits.
Whether a certain amount of fat in the diet is essential to human
health is not definitely known. When rats are fed a fat-free diet, their
growth eventually ceases, their skin becomes inflamed and scaly, and
their reproductive systems are damaged. Two fatty acids, linoleic and
arachidonic acids, prevent these abnormalities and hence are called
essential fatty acids. They also are required by a number of other animals,
but their roles in human beings are debatable. Most nutritionists consider
linoleic fatty acid an essential nutrient for humans.
Question 31: We can infer from the passage that all of the following
statements about fats are true EXCEPT____________.
A. poor people eat more fatty foods
B. alcohol is not a common source of dietary energy
C. fats provide energy for the body
D. economics influences the distribution of calorie intake
Question 32: The word “functions” in the second paragraph is closest
in meaning to
A. forms

B. sources
C. needs
D. jobs
Question 33: The word “essential to” in the third paragraph is closest
in meaning to
A. beneficial to
B. detrimental to
C. required for
D. desired for
Question 34: According to the author of the passage, which of the
following is true for rats when they are fed a fat free diet?
A. They lose body hair
B. They require less care
C. They stop growing
D. They have more babies

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
Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply by
hunting and gathering in the natural environment surrounding their
homes. This method of harvesting from nature's provision is the oldest
known subsistence strategy and has been practised for at least the last
two million years. It was, indeed, the only way to obtain food until
rudimentary farming and the domestication of wild animals were
introduced about 10,000 years ago.
Because hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison with
their agricultural cousins, their numbers have dwindled, and they have
been forced to live in marginal environments, such as deserts and arctic
wastelands. In higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have
restricted the availability of plant life. Such conditions have caused a
greater dependence on hunting, and on fishing along the coasts and
waterways. The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the
tropics, on the other hand, has provided a greater opportunity for
gathering a variety of plants. In short, the environmental differences have

restricted the diet and have limited possibilities for the development of
subsistence societies.
Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our
prehistoric ancestors. We know from the observation of modern huntergatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting and
gathering must be very mobile. While the entire community camps in a
central location, a smaller party harvests the food within a reasonable
distance from the camp. When the food in the area has become
exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site. We also

means
A. adapting animals to suit a new working environment

ROBOTS

hoping for the invention of a machine that would do all the necessary jobs
(46) _____ the house. If boring and repetitive factory work could be (47)
______ by robots, why not boring and repetitive household chores too?
For a long time the only people who really gave the problem their
attention were amateur inventors. And they came up against a major
difficulty. That is, housework is actually very complex. It has never been
one job, it has always been many. A factory robot carries out one task
endlessly (48) _______it is reprogrammed to do something else. It doesn’t
run the whole factory. A housework robot, on the other hand, has to do
several different (49) _____ of cleaning and carrying jobs and also has to
cope (50)______all the diffenrent shapes and positions of rooms, furniture,
ornaments, cats and dogs. Therefore, there have been some

developments recently. Sensors are available to help the robot locate
objects and avoid obstacles. We have the technology to produce the
hardware. All that is missing the software - the programs that will operate
the machine.
