Then choose the correct answer to each of the questions asked after the passage. Passage I Millions of people in the United States are affected by eating disorders. More than 90% of those afflicted are adolescents or young adult women. Although al eating disorders share same common manifestations, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating have distinctive symptoms and risks People who intentionally starve themselves (even hile experiencing severe hunger pains) suffer from anorexia nervosa, The disorder, which usually begins around the time of puberty, involves extreme weight loss to at least 15% below the individual’s normal body weight. Many people with disorder look emaciated but are convinced they are overweight. In patients with anorexia nervosa, starvation can damage vital organs such as the heart and brain. To protect itsef, the body shifts to slow gear; Menstrual periods stop, blood pressure rates drop, {and thyroid function slows. Excessive thirst and frequent urination may occur. Dehydration contributes to constipation, and reduced body fats lead to lowered body temperature and the inability to withstand cold. Mild anemia, swollen joints, reduced muscle mass, and light heagedness also commonly occur in anorexia nervosa, ‘Anorexia nervosa sufferers can exhibit sudden angry outbursts or become socially withdrawn, One in ten cases of anorexia nervosa leads to death from starvation, carciac arrest, other medical complications, or suicide, Clinical depression and anxiety place many individuals while eating disorders while eating disorders at risk for suicidal behavior. People with bulimia nervosa consume large ‘amounts of food and then rid their bodies of the excess, calories by vomiting, abusing laxatives or diuretics, taking ‘enemas, or exercising obsessively, Some use 2 ‘combination of all these forms of purging. Individuals with bulimia who use drugs to stimulate vomiting, bowel movements, of urination may be in considerable danger, as this practice increases the risk of heart fallure. Dieting heavily between episodes of binging and purging is common, Because many individuals with bulimia binge and purge in secret and maintain normal or above body weight, they can often successfully hide their problems for years. But bulimia nervosa patients—even those of normal ‘weight—can severely damage their bodies by frequent binge eating and purging. In rare instances, binge eating ‘auses the stomach to rupture; purging may result in heart fallure due to loss of vital minerals such as Potassium, Voriting can cause the esophagus to become inflamed and glands near the cheeks to become swollen. As in anorexia nervosa, bulimia may lead to irregular menstrual periods. Psychological effects include compulsive stealing as well as possibie indications of LEARNEAST REVIEW AND TISTORIAL HUB —- NMAT REVIFWERobsessive-compulsive disorder, an illness characterized by ‘repetitive thoughts and behaviors. Obsessive- compulsive dlisorder can also accompany anorexia nervosa. AS with anorexia nervosa, bulimia typically begins during adolescence. Eventually, half of those with anorexia nervosa will develop bulimia, The condition occurs most, often in women bit also found in men. Binge eating disorder can be found in about 2% of the general population. As many as one- third of this group are men. Tt also affects older women, though with frequency. Recent research shows that binge eating slisorder occurs in about 30 % of people participating in ‘nedicaly supervised weight-control programs. This uisorder differs from bulimia because its sufferers do not purge. Individuals with binge- eating disorder feel that they lose control of themselves when eating, They eat large quantities of food and do not stop until they are uncomfortably full. Most sufferers are overweight or obese ‘and have a history of weight fluctuations, As a resutt, they are prone to the serious medical problems associated with ‘obesity, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Obese individuals also have a higher risk for gallbladde: disease, heart disease and some types of cancer, Usually they have more difficulty losing weight and keeping it off than do people with other serious weight problems, Like anorexic and bulimic sufferers who exhibit psychological problems, individuals with binge- eating «disorder have high rates of simultaneously occurring psychiaticilnesses, especially depression.

Then choose the correct answer to each of the questions asked after the passage. Passage I From the earliest times, man has consciously used his Gift for speech to communicate, from individual , group to group, and generation, a store of practical experience- Codes for interpreting natural phenomena, rules, rites and taboos-thereby making socialization of individual ‘memories an essential means for survival of the species. Biologically and physiologically, man was naked and not specifically suited for his environment, yet he. Gradually managed- despite inherent weakness in his instincts-to ensure his survival and then his development. Locked in @ permanent struggle against environmental conditions, he organized his existence, and little by litte, created his society for group, psychological, and instinctive needs, scientific evidence shows the role which the evolution- necessarily implying forms of education ~played. in the survival of the species. On the whole, the various human races have undergone only minimal evolutionary changes since the prehistoric times in the process of adapting themselves in the various ways of lfe and different environments. Yet modern man hes never ceascd conquering new environmental conditions as if his biological ability to ‘adapt were growing. This is mere polluted environment because of the knowledge handed down and enriched from generation to generation, that is to say, because education is more widespread and comprehensive. Far back in the history of education-which is admittecly not yet very far- it emerges as a natural characteristic of human societies. It has contributed to the destiny of societies in all phases of their development. Tt has never ceased to deveiop. In primitive society, education was complex and continual. It aimed at forming the character, aptitudes, skills and moral; qualities of an individual who educated himself through 2 kind of symbiotic process rather than being educated. In contemporary school-going societies, things do not happen so differently, as it might seem at first sight. It still remains true that children and adults receive a large part of their education from the ‘environment, their family and society, drawing directly, existentally, on experience, 11, Man's ability made survive today’s polluted environment is made possible by: AA, great advances in his biological evolution 8. his great biological and psychological ability to adapt C. a more pervasive and comprehensive education D. a concerted group endeavor for development.12.

This principle has had the force of conventional law and has served as the norm to which consumption tended to conform. The quasi-peaceable gentleman of leisure iten, not only consumes beyond the minimum required for substinence and physical efficiency, but this consumption also undergoes a specialization as regards the quality of the goods consumed. In order to avoid stultfication, he must also cultivate his tastes. He becomes 3 connoisseur in credible viands of various degrees of merit, in mainly beverages, seemly apparel, games, dances, and narcotics. He is further required to Consume in a seemly manner, his life of leisure must be conducted in due form. High-bred manners and ways of living are items of conformity to the norm of conspicuous leisure and canspicuous consumption. Conspicuous consumption of valuable goods is a means of reputability to the gentle man of leisure. AS ‘wealth accumulates in his hands, his own unraided efforts will not avail to sufficiently put his opulence in evidence in this method. The aid of friends and competitors is therefore brought in by resorting to the giving of valuable presents and expensive feats and entertainments. With the accumulation of wealth, the leisure class ‘develops further In function and structure, and there arises a cifferentiation within the leisure class. Thoseswho stand near the higher and the highest of the wealthy leisure class outrank the remoter-born and peculiarly weaker.

Then choose the correct answer to each of the questions asked after the passage. Passage I Attempts to find a medication that can halt the progression of cocaine addiction have centered on drugs that influence dopaminergic function in the brain, since the rewarding and habit-forming effects of cocaine have been shown to be due to cocaine’s action of dopaminergic neural synapses. Normally in the dopaminergic synapse, vesicles in the presynaptic cell release dopamine into the synapse, where the dopamine binds to postsynaptic receptors and transmits a signal to the postsynaptic cell. Subsequently, the dopamine is taken back up into the presynaptic ceil and either repackage into storage vesicles for another release or broken down via monoamine oxidase (MAO) and other enzyme to its metabolites, dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA). Cocaine, however, blocks the reuptake of dopamine into the presynaptic cell, leaving the neurotransmitter in the synapse to have prolonged interaction with its receptors. This acute activation of dopaminergic neurotransmission produces cocaine’s rewarding effects, such as euphoria.Conversely, cocaine craving, which plays a central role in the development of addiction, is thought to be produced by the opposite phenomenon: decreased levels of dopamine in the synapse and the accompanying deactivation of dopaminergic neurotransmission. By blocking reuptake from the synapse, cocaine prevents the presynaptic cell rom “recycling” dopamine fcr release, as ormally takes place. Simultaneously, the dopamine in the synapse remains there so long that it becomes vulnerable to synaptic enzymes such as catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). The post-cocaine result is dopamine depletion, an imbalance that leads for craving for more of drug. Investigators turned to the dopamine agonist bromocriptine as a potential treatment to counteract cocaine craving, Bromocriptine, like cocaine, increases dopaminergic neurotransmission, although by a different mechanism; it stimulates dopamine receptors on the postsynaptic cell. As a result, in small quantities it can temporarily correct the dopamine imbaiance caused by Cocaine abuse and thereby reduce the abuser’s craving. However. bromocriptine has adverse side effects, which prevent it from being used compulsively or in large ‘amounts, Bromocriptine has been shown to be useful as @ short-term treatment for cocaine abusers, but it has nat fulfilled researchers’ hopes of being effective in eliminating cocaine addiction. 21. Which of the following is MOST likely to happen asa result of cocaine administration? a. The level of HVA in the presynaptic cell rises. b. The level of HVA in the presynaptic cell falls. . The level of DOPAC in the presynaptic cell rises. d, The level of HVA and DOPAC in the presynaptic cell both rise. 22, According to the passage, the euphoria produced by cocaine is due to the fact that cocaine causes a. released dopamine to be active for a longer time. b, released dopamine to be turned over more rapidly. c. more dopamine receptors to become avaiable. d. more dopamine to be released into the synapse. 23. It can be inferred that cocaine has which of the following effects on the presynaptic cell? a. It depletes the cells store of MAO. by It shunts dopamine away from storage to metabolism, c. It lowers the amount of dopamine stored in presynaptic vesicles, d, It causes the cell to become dormant. 24. Which of the following does NOT take place in the normal dopaninergic neurotransmission? a. Uptake of dopamine into the presynaptic cell b, Breakdown of dopamine by COMT c. Recycling of dopamine by the presynaptic cell d, Breakdown of dopamine by MAO 25. Bromocriptine can be used to counteract cocaine. craving because it a. replaces dopamine as a receptor agonist b. allows dopamine to stay in the syrapse for extended periods mimics the action of cocaine in the synapse d, replenishes depleted vesicles in the presynaptic cell 26. Which of the following effects do cocaine and bromocriptine share? a. Dopamine depletion _c. Dopaminergic activation b. Adverse side effects d. Habit-forming rewards 27. It can be inferred that bromocriptine will cause the level of dopamine in the presynaptic cell to a. rise gradually ¢. be temporarily elevated b, stay the samme d, plummet immediately Passage II Although we know more about so-called Neanderthal men than about any other early population, their exact relation to present-day human being remains unclear. Long considered subhumen, Neanderthals are now known to be fully human. They walked erect, used fire, and made a variety of tools. They lived partly in the ‘open and partly in caves. ‘The Neanderthals are even thought to have been the first humans to bury their dead, € practice which has been interpreted as demonstrating the capacity of religious and abstract thought. The first monograph on Neanderthal anatomy, published by Marcellin Boule in 1913, presented a somewhat misleading picture, Boule took the Neanderthal’s low-veulted cranium and prominent biow ridges, their heavy musculature, and the apparent overdevelopment of certain joints as evidence of a prehuman physical appearance. In postulating for the Neanderthal such "primitive" characteristics as a stooping, bent-kneed posture, a rolling gait, and a forward hanging head, Buole was a victim of the rudimentary state of anatomical science. Modern anthropologists recognize the Neanderthal bone structure as that of a creature whose bodily orientation and capacities were very similar to those of present-day human beings. The differences in the size and shape of the limbs shoulder blades, and other parts are simply adaptations that were necessary to handle the Neanderthal’s far more massive musculature, Current taxonomy considers the Neanderthals to have been fully human and thus designates them not as a spate species, Homo neanderthalensis, Dut as a subspecies of Homo sapiens: Homo sapiens neancerthalensis, The rise of Neanderthals occurred over some 100,000 years a sufficient period to account for evolution of the specifically Neanderthal characteristics through free interbreeding over a broad geographical range. Fossil evidence suggests that the Neanderthals inhabited a vast area from Europe through the Middle East and into Central Asia from approximately 100,000 years ‘ago until 35,000 years ago. Then, within a brief period of 5,000-10,000 years, they disappeared. Modern humans, not found in Europe prior to about 33,000 years ago, thenceforth became the sole inhabitants of the region.ea ee evolved into modern human beings. Despite the similarities between Neanderthals and modern human anatomy, the difference are major enough that, among a population 2s broad ranging as the Neanderthal, such an, evolution could not have taken place in a period only 10,000 years. Furthermore, no fossils of types intermediate between Neanderthals and moderns have been found. ‘A major, alternative hypothesis, advanced by E. Trinkaus and W. W. Howells is that of localized evolution, Within a geographically concentrated population, free interbreeding could have produced far more pronounced genetic effects within a shorter time. Thus, inodern humans could have evolved relatively quickly, either from Neanderthals or from some other ancestral type in isolation from the main Neanderthal population, These humans may have migrated throughout the Neanderthal ‘areas, where they displaced or absorbed the original inhabitants. One hypothesis suggests that these "modern" humans immigrated to Europe from the Middle Fast, No satisfactory explanation of why mostern human beings replaced the Neanderthals has yet been found. Some have speculated that the modern humans, ‘wiped out the Neanderthals in warfare; however, there exists no archeological evidence of a hostile encounter. It fnas also been sugaested that the Neanderthals failed to adapt on the onset of the last Ice Age; yet their thick bodies should have been heat conserving and thus Well adapted to extreme cold. Finally, itis possible that the improved tools and hunting implements of the late Neanderthal period made the powerful Neanderthal physique less of an advantage than it had been oreviously. At the same time, the Neanderthals’ need for a heavy diet to sustain this physique put them at a disadvantage compared to the less massive modems. If this was the case, then it was improvements in hurrian culture - including some introduced by the Neanderthals, themselves — that made the Neanderthal obsolete, 28. Boule considered all of the following as evidence that the Neanderthals were subhuman EXCEPT a. posture cc. cranial structure b. bone structure 4. ability to use tools 29, The passage BEST supports which of the following conclusions? a. Neanderthals were less intelligent than early modern humans. b. Neanderthals were poorly adapted for survival. . There was probably no contact between Neanderthals, and early modern teimars, d, Neanderthals may have had a capacity for religious and abstract thought. 30. According to the passage, the latest that any Neanderthal might have existed was a. 100,000 years ago c. 33,000 years ago b, 35,000 vears ago d, 25,000 years ago ee Oe ee ee ee ee ee” evidence that Neanderthals did NOT evolve into modern humans is the ‘a. major anatomical differences between Neanderthals and modern humans. b. fact that Neanderthals lived partly in caves. . difference in the geographical ranges of Neanderthals and modern humans. d. gaps of many thousands of years between the latest Neanderthal fossils and the earliest modern human fossils. 32, All of the following are hypotheses about the disappearance of the Neanderthals EXCEPT: a. The Neanderthal physique became a handicap instead of an advantage. bb. The Neanderthals failed to adapt to climatic changes. . The Neanderthals evolved into modern humans. d. Modern humans exterminated the Neanderthals, 33, It can be inferred from the passage that evolittions is dirertly related to the a. concentration of the species population. . anatomical features of the species. , rate of environmental changes. d. adaptive capabilities of the species. fe rate of Passage IIL ‘The poptiation of the United States is rowing clder and will continue to do so until well into this century. For the first time in American history, elders outnumbered teenagers. The U.S. Census Bureau projects that 47 million Americans will be 65 or older by the year 2015, 55 million by 2020, and 70 million by 2030. This demographic trend is due mainly to two factors: inereased life expectancy and the occurrence of “baby boom” in the generation oom immediately after World War IT. People are also living well beyond the average life expectancy in Greater numbers than ever before. In fact, the number of USS. citizens 85 years old and older is growing six times as fast as the rest of the population, The “graying” of the United States is due in large measure to the aging of the generation born after World \War II, the "baby boomers.” The baby boom peaked in 1957, with over 4.3 milion births during that year. More. than 75 million Americans were born between 1946 and 1964, the largest generation in U.S. history. Today, the oldest “boomers” have reached retirement age and the ‘youngest are moving into middle age; in less than two decades, even the youngest will join the ranks of America’s elderly. What vil be the social, economic, and political consequences of the aging of America? One likely development will involve a gradual restructuring of the family unit moving away from the traditional nuclear family and towards an extended multigenerational family dominated by elders, not by their adult children. ‘The aging of the U.S. population is also likely to have far-reaching Leffects on the nation’s workforce. In 1999, there were approximately 3.5 workers for every person 65 years and older; by the year 2030, there'll unly bbe 2 workers for every person 65 and older. As thenumber of available younger workers shrinks, elderly people will become more attractive as prospective mpoyees. Many wil simply retain their existing jobs eyond the current retirement age of 65. Infact, the phenomenon of eary retirement, which has transformed the U.S. workforce over the past five decades, is already becoming a thing of the past. In 1950, about 50 percent ofall 65-year-old men stil worked. In the mid-1980s, the average retirement age reached alow of 62 and only 15% ofall 65-year-old men worked. In the past 20 years, the ‘average retirement age has risen to 64 and now almost 25% of al 65 year-old-men are stil working. Recent surveys show that almost half of taday’s retirees would Prefer to be working, and in decades to come, their Counterparts will be doing just that. Finaly, the great proportional increase in the number of older Americans will have significant effects on the nation’s economy in the areas of Social Security and health care. Arecent government survey showed that 77% of elderly Americans have annual incomes of less than $20,000; only 3 percent earn more than $50,000. As their earning power declines and their need for health ‘are increases, most elderly Americans come to depend heavily on federal and state subsidies. With the advent of Social Security in 1935 and Medicaid/Medicare in 1965, the sizeof those subsidies has grown steadily; by 2004, Spending on the elderly accounted for 38 percent of the annual federal oudget. Considering these figures, and the fact that the elderly population will double within the next 20 years, it's clear that maj guvesrunent policy Ueisions le avead. In he first 50 years ofits existence, for example, the Social Security fund as received $55 rion more in employee/emioyer contributions than it has paid out in benefits to the elderiy. Yet time and again the federal {government has "borrowed" tis surplus without repaying IRto pay interest on the national debt. Similarly the Medicaid/Medicare system is threatened by the continuous upward spiral of medical Cost. The cost of caring for disabled elderly Americans is ‘expected to double in the next decade alone. And millions Of Americans of all ages are currently unable to afford private health insurance. Infact, the United States is practically unique among developed nations in lacking a national healthcare system. Its advocates say such a system would be far less expensive than the present state of affairs, but the medical establishments and various special interest groups have so fer blocked legislation aimed at creating it. Nonetheless, within the next few decades, an aging U.S. population may well demand that such a program be implemented. 34, Based on the information contained in the passage, ‘which of the fllowing statements about the U.S. elderly population is TRUE? 8, It is largely responsible for the nation’s current housing shortage. b, It is expected to double within the next 20 years c. I isthe wealthiest segment of the U.S. population. 4d. It represents almost 30 percent of the U.S. population, 16 35.

', will suffer some sort of disability between the ages of 65 and 75, . have been unable to purchase their own homes. . continue to work at least 20 hours per week. 36, The fact that the health care cost for disabled elderly ‘Americans are expected to double in the next 10 years indicates which of the following statements? 3. The federal government will be unable to finance a national health care system. b, The Medicaid/Medicare system will probably become leven more expensive in the future, . Money will have to be borrowed from the Social Security fund to finance the Medicaid/Medicare system. 4. "Baby boomers” will be unable to receive federal health benefits as they arow older. 37. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, today’s elderly population is. 2, larger than the current population of teenagers. Li. larger thar: the current population of "boomers." . smaller than the number of elderly people in 2950. d. smaller than the number of elderly pecple in 1970. 38.

According to the author, the federal government has ‘not yet instituted a program mandating health care or all USS. citizens because a. the federal deficit must first be eliminated. b. such 2 program would be too expensive. legislative lobbies have prevented it. d.
