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
Question 35: Linoleic fatty acid is mentioned in the passage as____________.
A. a nutrient found in most foods B. an essential nutrient for humans
C. preventing weight gain in rats D. more useful than arachidonic acid
Question 36: The phrase “these abnormalities” in the third paragraph refers
to____________.
A. curves on the human female body
B. cessation of growth, bad skin, and damaged reproductive systems
C. strategically located fat deposits D. a condition caused by fried foods
Question 37: That humans should all have some fat our diet is, according to the author
A. only true for women B. not yet a proven fact
C. proven to be true by experiments in rats D. a commonly held view

Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply by hunting

Edited by Nguyen Minh Hien

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 hunter-gatherers 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 notice seasonal
migration patterns evolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with a strict division of
labor between the sexes. These patterns of behavior may be similar to those practised
by mankind during the Paleolithic Period.

Question 38: The word "domestication" in the first paragraph mostly means
A. adapting animals to suit a new working environment
B. teaching animals to do a particular job or activity in the home
C. hatching and raising new species of wild animals in the home
D. making wild animals get used to living with and working for humans
Question 39: The word "marginal" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to
A. suburban B. forgotten C. abandoned D. disadvantaged
Question 40: According to the passage, studies of contemporary subsistence societies can
provide a _________.
A. deeper insight into the dry-land farming
B. broader vision of prehistoric natural environments
C. further understanding of prehistoric times
D. further understanding of modern subsistence societies
Question 41: According to the passage, subsistence societies depend mainly on
A. agricultural products B. farming methods
C. hunter-gatherers' tools D. nature's provision

growing seasons.

taken up.
