A B C D 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. Are organically grown foods the best choices ? The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates of organic foods – a term whose meaning varies greatly – frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than others. The growing interest of consumers in the safety and more nutritional quality of the typical North American diet is a welcome development . However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that the food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs. Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and form the basis for folklore. Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for “no- aging” diets, new vitamins, and other wonder foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to fertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated grains and the like. One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe organic foods can maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods. So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food and buy only expensive organic foods instead Question 51: The word “Advocates” is closest in meaning to 7 which of the following ? A. Proponents B. Inspectors C. Consumers D. Merchants Question 52: In the first paragraph, the word “other” refers to ___.

A. the amount of health food grown in North American B. interest in food safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American diet C. the number of consumers in North American D. the nutritional quality of the typical North American diet Question 54: According to the first paragraph , which of the following is true about the terms “ organic foods” ? A. It has been used only in recent years. B. It is seldom used by consumers. C. It has no fixed meaning. D. It is accepted by most nutritionists . Question 55: The word “unsubstantiated” is closest in meaning to ___. A. uncontested B. unbelievable C. unverified D. unpopular Question 56: The word “maintain” is closest in meaning to ___. A. preserve B. retire C. improve D. monitor Question 57: Who does the author think should NOT buy organic foods ? A. Advocated of organic food B. Wealthy people C. Concerned consumers D. Low income consumers Question 58: The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy organic foods instead of conventionally grown foods because ___. A. too many farmers will stop using conventional method to grow food crops 8 B. many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally grown foods C. conventionally grown foods are more readily available than organic foods D. organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally grown foods Question 59: According to the last paragraph, consumers who believe that organic foods are better than conventionally grown foods are often ___. A. wealthy B. mistaken C. thrifty D. careless Question 60: What is the author’s attitude toward the claims made by advocates of health foods? A. Very enthusiastic B. Neutral C. Skeptical D. Somewhat favorable 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. Prehistoric horses were far removed from the horses that Christopher Columbus brought on his ships during his second voyage to the New World. Although fossil remains of “dawn horses” have been excavated in several sites in Wyoming and New Mexico, these animal, which were biologically different from contemporary horses, had been extinct several millennia before onset of the Indian era. Although moviegoers visualize an Indian as a horse rider, Indians were not familiar with horses until the Spanish brought them to Mexico, New Mexico, Florida, and the West Indies in 1519. Those that escaped from the conquerors or were left behind became the ancestors of the wild horses that still roam the southwestern regions of the country. The Indian tribe scattered in the western plains began to breed horse about 1600. The arrival of the horse produced a ripple effect throughout the Great Plains as the Indians living there were not nomadic and engaged in rudimentary farming and grazing land hunting. Tracking stampeding herds of buffalo and elk on foot was not the best way to stock quantities of meat to adequately feed the entire tribe during the winter. However, mounted on horses, the hunting team could cover ground within a substantial distance from their 9 camps and transport their game back to be roasted, dried into jerky, or smoke for preservation. The hunters responsible for tribe provisions stayed on the move almost continuously, replacing their earth-and-sod lodges with tepees. Horses carried not only their riders but also their possessions and booty. The Blackfoot Indians of the Canadian plains turned almost exclusive hunters, and the Crow split off from the mainstream Indian farming in favor of hunting. In fact, some of the Apache splinter groups abandoned agricultural cultivation altogether. The horse also drastically altered Indian warfare by allowing rapid maneuvering before, during, and after skirmishes. With the advent of the horse, the Apache, Arapahoe, and Cheyenne established themselves as territorial monopoly in the Plains. Because Indians did not have the wheel and had dragged their belongings from one settlement to another, horse also enabled them to become more mobile and expedient during tribal migration. In fact, the Cheyenne abolished the custom of discarding belongings and tepee skins simply because there were no means to transport them Question 61: The word “excavated” is closest in meaning to________ A. exasperated B. extinguished C. hunted down D. dug up Question 62: According to the passage, how many genetic species of horses are known today? A. Two. B. One C. Four D. Three. Question 63: The word “Those” refers to________ A. Indians B. The Spanish C. horses D. West Indies Question 64: According to the passage, American Indians________ A. farmed with horses in the 1500s. B. tamed horses in the early 1500s. C. were exposed to horses in the 1500s.
