Read the following passage and choose the best option to complete the blank or answer the question.
Most human diets contain between 10 and 15 percent of their total calories as protein. The rest of
the dietary energy comes 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 arachidonicacids, prevent these
abnormalities and hence are called essential 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.

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 question.
PANDEMIC DISEASES
 Diseases are a natural part of life on earth. If there were no diseases, the population would grow too
quickly, and there would not be enough food or other resources, so in a way, diseases are natural ways of
keeping the Earth in balance. But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of people.
For example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing over 25 million people in
only six months. Such terrible outbreaks of a disease are called pandemics.
Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight. In 1918,
a new type of flu virus appeared. Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread very
quicklyand killed large numbers of people. While there have been many different pandemic diseases
throughout history, all of them have a new thing in common.
First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily.
Second, while they may kill many people, they generally do not kill people very quickly. A good
example of this would be the Marburg virus. The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease. In
addition, it is deadly. About 70 -80% of all people who get the Marburg virus died from the disease.
However, the Marburg virus has not become a pandemic because most people die within three days of
getting the disease. This means that the virus does not have enough time to spread a large number of
people. The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about a week to ten days to kill its
victims, so it had more time to spread.
While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common. Doctors
carefully monitor new diseases that they fear could become pandemics. For example, in 2002, and 2003,
doctors carefully watched SARS. Their health warnings may have prevented SARS from becoming a
pandemic.
