II. Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions(10p)
Most human diets contain between 10 and 15 percent of their total calories as protein. The rest
of the dietary energy conies from carbohydrates, fats, and in some people, alcohol.The proportion of
calories from fats varies from 10 percent in poor communities to 40 percent or more in rich
communities.
In addition to providing energy, fats have several other functions in the body. The fat-soluble
vitamins, A, D, E,  and K, are dissolved in fats, as their name implies. Good sources of these
vitamins have high oil or fat content, and the vitamins are stored in the body’s fatty tissues. In the
diet, fats cause food to remain longer in the stomach, thus increasing the feeling of fullness for some
time after a meal is eaten. Fats add variety, taste, and texture to foods, which accounts for the
popularity of fried foods. Fatty deposits in the body have an insulating and protective value. The
curves of the human female body are due mostly to strategically located fat deposits.
Whether a certain amount of fat in the diet is essential to human health is not definitely
known. When rats are fed a fat-free diet, their growth eventually ceases, their skin becomes
inflamed and scaly, and their reproductive systems are damaged.Two fatty acids,linoleic and
arachidonic acids, prevent these abnormalities and hence are called eseential fatty acids.They also
are required by a number of other animals, but their roles in human beings are debatable. Most
nutritionists consider linoleic fatty acid an essential nutrient for humans.
1. This passage probably appeared in which of the following?
A. A diet book          B. A book on basic nutrition
C. A cookbook              D. A popular women’s magazine
2. We can infer from the passage that all of the following statements about fats are true EXCEPT
A. fats provide energy for the body B. economics influences the distribution of
calorie intake
C. poor people eat more fatty foods D. alcohol is not a common source of dietary
energy
3. The word “functions” in line 5 is closest in meaning to………
A. forms         B. needs       C. jobs           D. sources
4.  The phrase “stored in” in line 7 is closest in meaning to………
A. manufactured in         B. attached to       C. measured by             D. accumulated in
5. The author states that fats serve all of the following body functions EXCEPT to.................
A. promote a feeling of fullness                   B. insulate and protect the body
C. provide energy     D. control weight gain
6. The word “essential to” in line 12 is closest in meaning to………
A. required for                     B. desired for               C. detrimental to           D. beneficial to
7. According to the author of the passage, which of the following is true for rats when they are fed a
fat free diet?
A. They stop growing     B. They have more babies    
C. They lose body hair           D. They require less care
8. Linoleic fatty acid is mentioned in the passage as………                     
A. an essential nutrient for humans                   B. more useful than arachidonic acid
TLA_HSG11_ANH_02 6
 C. preventing weight gain in rats                     D. a nutrient found in most foods
9. The phrase “these abnormalities” in line 15 refer to……………
A. a condition caused by fried foods             
B. strategically located fat deposits
C. curves on the human female body 
D. cessation of growth, bad skin, and damaged reproductive systems
10. That humans should all have some fat our diet is, according to the author,……………
A. a commonly held view                   B. not yet a proven fact
C. only true for women               D. proven to be true by experiments in rats

few. What is your upper limit for rent?
