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 36 to 42.
Many ants forage across the countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; these activities
proceed because one ant lays a trail on the ground for the others to follow. As a worker ant returns home after
finding a source of food, it marks the route by intermittently touching its stinger on the ground and depositing
a tiny amount of trail pheromone - a mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse messages as the context
changes. These trails incorporate no directional information and may be followed by other ants in either
direction.
Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept secret
from members of other species. It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of compounds as
trail pheromones. Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals. Investigators working with the trail
pheromone of the leafcutter ant Atta texana calculated that one milligram of this substance would suffice to
lead a column of ants three times around Earth.
The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant detects
this signal with receptors in its antennae. A trail pheromone will evaporate to furnish the highest
concentration of vapor right over the trail, in what is called a vapor space. In following the trail, the ant
moves to the right and left, oscillating from side to side across the line of the trail itself, bringing first one
and then the other antenna into the vapor space. As the ant moves to the right, its left antenna arrives in the
vapor space. The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this new course until
its right antenna reaches the vapor space. It then swings back to the right, and so weaves back and forth down
the trail.

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 43 to 50.
Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes sensitive to a
substance that is harmless or even wholesome for the average person. Milk, wheat, and egg, for example,
rank among the most healthful and widely used foods. Yet these foods can cause persons sensitive to them to
suffer greatly. At first, the body of the individual is not harmed by coming into contact with the substance.
After a varying interval of time, usually longer than a few weeks, the body becomes sensitive to it, and an
allergy has begun to develop.
Sometimes it’s hard to figure out if you have a food allergy, since it can show up in so many different
ways. Your symptoms could be caused by many other problems. You may have rashes, hives, joint pains
mimicking arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression. The most common food allergies are to milk, eggs,
seafood, wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes. Many of these allergies will not develop if
these foods are not fed to an infant until her or his intestines mature at around seven months. Breast milk also
tends to be protective.
Migraines can be set off by foods containing tyramine, phenathylamnine, monosodium glutamate, or
sodium nitrate. Common foods which contain these are chocolate, aged cheeses, sour cream, red wine,
pickled herring, chicken livers, avocados, ripe bananas, cured meats, many Oriental and prepared foods (read
the labels!). Some people have been successful in treating their migraines with supplements of B-vitamins,
particularly B6 and niacin. Children who are hyperactive may benefit from eliminating food additives,
especially, colorings, and foods high in salicylates from their diets. A few of these are almonds, green
peppers, peaches, tea, grapes. This is the diet made popular by Benjamin Feingold, who has written the book
Why your child is Hyperactive. Other researchers have had mixed results when testing whether the diet is
effective.

Question 43: The topic of the passage is .

A. reactions to foods B. food and nutrition
C. infants and allergies D. a good diet
Question 44: According to the passage, the difficulty in diagnosing allergies to foods is due to ___________.
A. the vast number of different foods we eat
B. the similarity of symptoms of the allergies to other problems
C. lack of a proper treatment plan
D. the use of prepared formula to feed babies
Question 45: The phrase set off is closest in meaning to .
A. relieved B. identified C. avoided D. triggered
Question 46: What can be inferred about babies from this passage?
A. They can eat almost anything.
B. They should have a carefully restricted diet as infants.
C. They gain little benefit from being breast fed.
D. They may become hyperactive if fed solid food too early.
Question 47: The author states that the reason that infants need to avoid certain foods related to allergies has
to do with the infant’s___________.
A. lack of teeth B. poor metabolism
C. underdeveloped intestinal tract D. inability to swallow solid foods
Question 48: The word these refers to___________.
A. food addictives B. food colorings
C. innutritious foods D. foods high in salicylates
Question 49: Which of the following was a suggested treatment for migraines in the passage?
A. Eating more ripe bananas B. Avoiding all Oriental foods
C. Getting plenty of sodium nitrate D. Using vitamin B
Question 50: According to the article the Feingold diet is NOT___________.

B. verified by researchers as being consistently effective
C. beneficial for hyperactive children
D. designed to eliminate foods containing certain food addictives
