environment, but water is not only a commodity needed by man (38) ____________ drinking, washing and
industrial processes.
Many lakes which once served as breeding grounds for wild birds now face an uncertain future. As

Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein, eggs also contain
a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases. One egg yolk, in fact, contains a
little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has driven egg sales to
plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating
regular eggs. One alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they
look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having low cholesterol rates,
and they can be scrambled or used in baking. One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for
frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called
‘designer’ eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-flat diets consisting of ingredients such
as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diet, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the
same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs
will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans.
Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to back up
their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have
brought mixed result. It may be that it is not the type of eggs that is the main determinant of cholesterol but
the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than
other people. In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body’s production of blood
cholesterol. Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one’s intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it
seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol
level.
Question 41: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary at increases the blood cholesterol level
B. To make people know about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten
D. To convince people to eat ‘designer’ eggs and egg substitutes.            
Question 42: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases?
A. minerals        B. cholesterol      C. canola oil           D. vitamins
Question 43: What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?
A. increasing price   B. decreased production
C. dietary changes in hens    D. concerns about cholesterol
Question 44: What is meant by the phrase ‘mixed result’?
A. The result are blended  B. The result are a composite of things
C. The result are inconclusive                   D. The result are mingled together
Question 45: According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol?
A. reducing egg intake but not fat intake     B. increasing egg intake and fat intake
C. decreasing egg intake and fat intake        D. increasing egg intake but not fat intake
Question 46 Which of the following could best replace the word ‘somewhat’?
A. in fact        B. a little      C. indefinitely           D. a lot
Question 47: According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of the following types
of eggs EXCEPT_________.?
A. boiled        B. poached      C. scrambled           D. fried

II. 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.

More than 200 reindeer have died of starvation on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, with scientists
blaming their deaths on climate change. The wild deer carcasses were found on the Arctic islands this
summer by researchers from the Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI), which said it had never logged so many
deaths at once in 40 years of monitoring the animals’ population level. “It’s scary to find so many dead
animals,” project leader Ashild Onvik Pedersen told state broadcaster NRK. “This is an example of how
climate change affects nature. It is just sad.”
Svalbard’s capital Longyearbyen, the northernmost town on earth, is thought to be warming quicker than
any other settlement on the planet, climate scientists warned earlier this year. The milder temperatures in the
region led to unusually heavy rainfall in December, leaving a thick layer of ice when the precipitation froze.
This meant the reindeer could not dig through the hardened tundra to reach the vegetation they graze on in
their usual pastures, the NPI said. Svalbard’s reindeer have been observed eating seaweed and kelp when
food is scarce, but these are less nutritious and cause them stomach problems.
A relatively high number of calves born last year increased the death toll, as the youngest and weakest are
often the first to die in harsh conditions. “Some of the mortality is natural because there were so many calves

7
last year. But the large number we see now is due to heavy rain, which is due to global warming,” said Ms
Onvik Pedersen.
A team of three scientists spent 10 weeks investigating population of the Svalbard reindeer earlier this year.
Researchers warned the decline of reindeer would cause unwanted plant species, currently kept in check by
the animals’ grazing, to spread across Arctic ecosystems in Europe, Asia and North America.
Arctic reindeer and caribou populations have declined 56 per cent in the last two decades, a report by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said last year. The report said food security was partly to
blame for falling herd numbers, while warmer summers could also put the animals at greater risk of diseases
spread by flies and parasites. The average temperature in Longyearbyen has risen by 3.7C since 1900, more
than three times the global average increase of about 1C. In 2016, the entrance to the town’s “Doomsday”
seed vault – which stores specimens of almost all the world’s seeds – was flooded following heavy rainfall.
(Adapted from https://www.independent.co.uk/)
41. Which could best serve as the title of the passage?
A. Climate change – The main cause for the death of hundreds of reindeer.
B. Global warming – What are the effects on nature?
C. Reindeer – The most vulnerable animals on the Arctic islands.

B. People in Longyearbyen suffered unusually heavy rain at the end of the year.
C. It is the northernmost town on our planet.
D. The reindeer here couldn’t stand the low temperature when the precipitation froze.
44. The word “scarce” in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by __________.
A. inappropriate B. insufficient C. abundant D. unlimited
45. What does the word “these” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. seaweed and kelp B. Svalbard’s reindeer
C. their usual pastures D. milder temperatures
46. According to Ms. Onvik Pedersen, why is the death rate of reindeer so high this year?
A. Because of the high number of calves born. B. Because of heavy rain.
C. Because of natural selection. D. Because of the shortage of vegetation.

A. After over 2 months investigated, reindeer populations were reported to decrease because of the increase
