Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage, Increasingly, over the past ten years, people havebecome aware of the need to change their eating habits,because much of the food they eat is not good for the health.Consequently, there has been a growing interest in naturalfoods: foods which do not contain chemical additives (,JlJ) and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers. Natural foods have been grown in soil that is rich inorganic (;/PIJ) matter. In simple terms, this means thatthe soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter,which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. Natural foods also include animals which have beenallowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures (t).Compare this with what happens in the mass production ofpoultry: there are battery farms, for example, wherethousands of chickens live crowded together in one buildingand are fed on food which is little better than rubbish.Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food;they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins. There are other aspects of healthy eating which are nowreceiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take thequestion of sugar for example, although a naturalalternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food ifthis is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not thatsugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be addictive:the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last twocenturies and in Britain today each person consumes anaverage of 200 pounds a year! It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to bean important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, forexamples, the fiber has been removed. But it is present inunrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interestingto note that in countries where the national diet containslarge quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certaindiseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis isplaced on the eating of unrefined bread and more vegetablesby modern experts on healthy eating. 16. People have become more interested in natural foods because A. they are more health conscious B. they want to taste all kinds of foods C. natural foods are more delicious than processed foods D. they want to return to nature 17. Soil that is rich in organic matter A. has had chemicals and fertilizers added to it B. contains vegetable matter that has not been consumed C. has been nourished by fertilizers D. already contains large quantities of vitamins and minerals 18. Which is NOT true of the chickens raised in poultry farms? A. They are fed on food which is little better than garbage. B. They live in very crowded condition. C. The eggs they produce lack vitamins. D. They are allowed to move about and eat freely. 19. According to the passage, A. people need sugar to give them energy 13. sugar is had for the health C. the use of sugar is habit forming D. sugar only sweetens food, but provides us with nothing useful 20. The best title for this passage is A. Peoples Growing Interest in Natural Foods B. Natural Foods and A Healthy Diet C. Harmful Effects of Sugar D. The Importance of Fiber in Foods Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointedfans were still cursing the disputed refereeing ( lJ)decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher wasappointed to study the performance of some top referees. The researcher organized an experimental tournament(t/flJ) involving four youth teams. Each match lasted anhour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during whichdifferent referees were in charge. Observers noted down the referees errors, of whichthere were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standardmatch of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes,a remarkably high number. The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyzethe matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errorswere more likely when the referees were close to theincident. When the officials got it right, they were, onaverage, 17 meters away from the action. The averagedistance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The researchshows the optimum (l) distance is about 20 meters. There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correctdecisions came when the referees were moving at a speed ofabout 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was4 meters per second. If FIFA, footballs international ruling body, wants toimprove the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, itshould encourage referees to keep their eyes on the actionfrom a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with theball, the researcher argues. He also says that FIFAs insistence that referees shouldretire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with theaction is not so important, their physical condition is lesscritical. 21. The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to A. review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World Cup B. analyze the causes of errors made by football referees C. set a standard for football refereeing D. re-examine the rules for football refereeing 22. The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was A. slightly above average B. higher than in the 1998 World Cup C. quite unexpected D. as high as in a standard match 23. The findings of the experiment show that A. errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ball B. the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errors C. the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely will errors occur D. errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot 24. The word officials (Line 4, Para. 4) most probably refers to A. the researchers involved in the experiment .B. the inspectors of the football tournament C. the referees of the football tournament D. the observers at the site of the experiment 25. What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment? A. The ideal retirernem age for an experienced football referee is 45. B. Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee. C. A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible. D. An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition. Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. Drunken driving-sometimes called Americas sociallyaccepted form of murderhas become a national epidemic(/). Every hour of every day about three Americanson average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to anincredible 250,000 over the past decade. A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0. 10 blood alcohol content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American macho(-) image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant. Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18- 20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21. Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop responsible;: attitudes about drinking and teach them to resist peer! pressure to drink. New laws have led to increased arrests and tests and in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was obviously intoxicated and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy. As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state,some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13years national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919,which President Hoover called noble experiment. Theyforget that legal prohibition didnt stop drinking, butencouraged political corruption and organized crime. Aswith the booming drug trade generally, there is no easysolution. 26. It can be inferred from the passage that drunken driving has become a major problem in the United States because A. most Americans like drinking B. heavy drinking is an epidemic C. many Americans are killed by traffic accidents D. Americans are not shocked by traffic accidents 27. What can be inferred from the traffic accident statistics in New Jersey? A. Young drivers were usually bad. B. The legal drinking age should be raised. C. Some drivers did not surpass the legal drinking age. D. Drivers should not be allowed to drink. 28. The italicized word lenient in the second paragraph most probably means A. benevolent B. strict C. moderate D. violent 29. As regards drunken driving, public opinion has changed because A. judges are no longer lenient I3. new laws are introduced in some states C. drivers are more aware of their macho image D. the problem of drunken slaughter has attracted public attention 30. Which of the following statements best reflects the authors opinion of drunken driving? A. It is difficult to solve this problem. B. It may lead to organized crime. C. Legal prohibition can stop heavy drinking. D. There should be no bars to serve drinks. Questions 31 to 35are based on the following passage. Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States? Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian ( i E fJ ) clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wearsa uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniformtends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilianclothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increasedby a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, apoliceman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity(:/0z) than to step out of uniform? Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They saveon other clothes. They save on laundry bill
