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 1 to 5.
The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps
in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown
that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet
as well, especially cancer of the colon. People of different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses
because of the characteristic foods they consume.
          That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that
nitrates and nitrites (commonly used to preserve color in meat) as well as other food additives caused cancer. Yet,
these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which
ingredients on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful.
          The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and
because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.
          Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial
reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market.
Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices
continue.
          A healthy diet is directly related to good health. Often we are unaware of detrimental substances we
ingest. Sometimes well-meaning farmers or others who do not realize the consequences add these substances to
food without our knowledge.

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 following questions from 8 to 15.
The body of an adult insect is subdivided into three sections, including a head, a three-segmentthorax, and
segmented abdomen. Ordinarily, the thorax bears three pairs of legs and a single or double pair of wings.
The vision of most adult insects is specialized through two large compound eyes and multiple simple eyes.
Features of an insect’s mouth parts are used in classifying insects into types. Biting mouth parts,
called mandibles, such as the mouth parts found in grasshoppers and beetles, are common among insects. Behind
the mandibles are located the maxillae, or lower jaw parts, which serve to direct food into the mouth between the
jaws. A labrum above and one below are similar to another animal’s upper and lower lips. In an insect with a
sucking mouth function, the mandibles, maxillae, labrum, and labium are modified in such a way that they
constitute a tube through which liquid such as water, blood, or flower nectar can be  drawn. In a butterfly or moth,
this coiled drinking tube is called theproboscis because of its resemblance, in miniature, to the trunk of an elephant
or a very large nose. Composed chiefly of modified maxillae fitted together, the insect’s proboscis can be flexed
and extended to reach nectar deep in a flower. In mosquitoes or aphids, mandibles and maxillae are modified to
sharp stylets with which the insect can drill through surfaces like human or vegetable skin membranes to reach
juice. In a housefly, the expanding labium forms a spongelike mouth pad that it can use to stamp over the surface
of food, sopping up food particles and juices.
Insects, the most numerous creatures on our planet, are also them most adaptable. They require little food
because they are small. They easily find shelter and protection in small crevices in trees and surface geological
formations. Species of insects can evolve quickly because of their rapid reproduction cycle; they live in every
climate, some making their homes in the frozen Arctic regions and many others choosing the  humid, warm, and
nutrient-rich rain forest environment. An active part of the natural food cycle, insects provide nutrition for animals
and devour waste products of other life forms.
