TEST 1

Reading 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 .
It’s often said that we learn things at the wrong time. University students frequently do the minimum of
work because they’re crazy about a good social life instead. Children often scream before their piano practice
because it’s so boring. They have to be given gold stars and medals to be persuaded to swim, or have to be
bribed to take exams. But the story is different when you’re older.
Over the years, I’ve done my share of adult learning. At 30, I went to a college and did courses in History
and English. It was an amazing experience. For starters, I was paying, so there was no reason to be late – I was
the one frowning and drumming my fingers if the tutor was late, not the other way round. Indeed, if I could
persuade him to linger for an extra five minutes, it was a bonus, not a nuisance. I wasn’t frightened to ask
questions, and homework was a pleasure not a pain. When I passed an exam, I had passed it for me and me
alone, not for my parents or my teachers. The satisfaction I got was entirely personal.
Some people fear going back to school because they worry that their brains have got rusty. But the joy is
that, although some parts have rusted up, your brain has learnt all kinds of other things since you were young. It
has learnt to think independently and flexibly and is much better at relating one thing to another. What you lose in
the rust department, you gain in the maturity department.
In some ways, age is a positive plus. For instance, when you’re older, you get less frustrated. Experience
has told you that, if you’re calm and simply do something carefully again and again, eventually you’ll get the hang
of it. The confidence you have in other areas – from being able to drive a car, perhaps – means that if you can’t,
say, build a chair instantly, you don’t, like a child, want to destroy your first pathetic attempts. Maturity tells you
that you will, with application, eventually get there.
I hated piano lessons at school, but I was good at music. And coming back to it, with a teacher who could
explain why certain exercises were useful and with musical concepts that, at the age of ten, I could never grasp,
was magical. Initially, I did feel a bit strange, thumping out a piece that I’d played for my school exams, with just as
little comprehension of what the composer intended as I’d had all those years before. But soon, complex emotions
that I never knew poured out from my fingers, and suddenly I could understand why practice makes perfect.

answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
The history of clinic nutrition, or the study of the relationship between health and how the body takes in and
utilizers food substances, can be divided into four distinct eras: the first began in the nineteenth century and
extended into the early twentieth century when it was recognized for the first time that food contained constituents
that were essential for human function and that different foods provided different amounts of these essential
agents. Near the end of this era, research studies demonstrated that rapid weight loss was associated with
nitrogen imbalance and could only be rectified by providing adequate protein associate with certain foods.
The second era was initiated in the early decades of the twentieth century and might be called “the vitamin
period”. Vitamins came to be recognized in foods, and deficiency syndromes were described. As vitamins became
recognized as essential food constituents necessary for health, it became tempting to suggest that every disease
and condition for which there had been no previous effective treatment might be responsive to vitamin therapy. At
the point in time, medical schools started to become more interested in having their curricula integrate nutritional
therapies in medicine. Reckless claims were made for effects of vitamins that went far beyond what could actually
be achieved from the use of them.
In the third era of nutritional history in the early 1950’s to midd1960’s, vitamin therapy began to fall into
disrepute. Concomitant with this, nutrition education in medical schools also became less popular. It was just a
decade before this that many drug companies had found their vitamins sales skyrocketing and were quick to
supply practicing physicians with generous samples of vitamins and literature extolling the virtue of
supplementation for a variety healthdrelated conditions. Expectations as to the success of vitamins in disease
control were exaggerateD. As is known in retrospect, vitamin and mineral therapies are much less effective when
applied to healthd crisis conditions that when applied to longdterm problems of nutrition that lead chronic health
problem.

Q36: What does the passage mainly discuss?


A. The effects of vitamins in the human body.
B. The history of food preferences from the 19th century to the present.
C. The stages of development of clinical nutrition as a field of study.
D. Nutritional practices of the 19th century.
Q37: It can be inferred from the passages that which of the following discoveries was made during the first era in
the history of nutrition?
A. Protein was recognized as an essential component of diet.
B. Vitamins were synthesized from foods.
C. Effective technique of weight loss were determined.
D. Certain food were found to be harmful to good health.

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 from 43 to 50.
Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effect of global warming. Scientists
have already observed shifts in the lifecycles of many plants and animals, such as flowers blooming earlier and
birds hatching earlier in the spring. Many species have begun shifting where they live or their annual migration
patterns due to warmer temperatures.
With further warming, animals will tend to migrate toward the poles and up mountainsides toward higher
elevations. Plants will also attempt to shift their ranges, seeking new areas as old habitats grow too warm. In many
places, however, human development will prevent these shifts. Species that find cities or farmland blocking their
way north or south may become extinct. Species living in unique ecosystems, such as those found in polar and
mountaintop regions, are especially at risk because migration to new habitats is not possible. For instance, polar
bears and marine mammals in the Arctic are already threatened by dwindling sea ice but have nowhere farther
to go.
Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult. Some scientists have estimated
that 20 to 50 percent of species could be committed to extinction with 2 to 3 Celsius degrees of further warming.
The rate of warming, not just the magnitude, is extremely important for plants and animals. Some species and
even entire ecosystems, such as certain types of forest, many not be able to adjust quickly enough and may
disappear.
Ocean ecosystems, especially fragile ones like coral reefs, will also be affected by global warming. Warmer
ocean temperatures can cause coral to “bleach”, a state which if prolonged will lead to the death of the coral.
Scientists estimate that even 1 Celsius degree of additional warming could lead to widespread bleaching and
death of coral reefs around the world. Also, increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters the ocean and
increases the acidity of ocean waters. This acidification further stresses ocean ecosystems.
Q43: Scientists have observed that warmer temperatures in the spring cause flower to .
A. die instantly B. bloom earlier C. become lighter D. lose colour
Q44: According to paragraph 2, when their habitats grow warmer, animals tend to move .
A. south – eastwards and down mountainsides toward lower elevations.
B. north – westwards and up mountainsides toward higher elevations.
C. toward the North Pole and down mountainsides toward lower elevations.
D. toward the poles and up mountainsides toward higher elevations.
Q45: The pronoun “those” in paragraph 2 refers to .
A. species B. ecosystems C. habitats D. areas
Q46: The phrase “dwindling sea ice” in paragraph 2 refers to .
A. the frozen water in the Artic
B. the violent Arctic Ocean
C. the melting ice in the Arctic
D. the cold ice in the Arctic
Q47: It is mentioned in the passage that if the global temperature rose by 2 or 3 Celsius degrees,
.
A. half of the earth’s surface would be flooded
B. the sea level would rise by 20 centimetres
C. water supply would decrease by 50 percent
D. 20 to 50 percent of species could become extinct
Q48: According to the passage, if some species are not able to adjust quickly to warmer temperatures, .
A. they may be endangered
B. they can begin to develop
C. they will certainly need water
D. they move to tropical forests
Q49: The word “fragile” in paragraph 4 most probably means .
A. very large B. easily damaged C. rather strong D. pretty hard
Q50: The bleaching of coral reefs as mentioned in paragraph 4 indicates .
A. the water absorption of coral reefs
B. the quick growth of marine mammals
C. the blooming phase of sea weeds
D. the slow death of coral reefs
