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 from 33 to 42.
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 arachidonic acids, 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.
Question 36: This passage probably appeared in which of the following?
A. A popular women’s magazine B. diet book
C. A book on basic nutrition D. A cookbook
Question 37: We can infer from the passage that all of the following statements about fats are true
EXCEPT
A. alcohol is not a common source of dietary energy

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 from 53 to 62.
Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of
communicating without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every
known culture. The basic function of a signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way
that it attracts attention, as, for example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to
speech, the potential for communication is very great. Less adaptable to the confiscation of words, signs
also contain meaning in and of themselves. A stop sign on a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and
conveniently. Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate
relationship with the receiver’s cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides
performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking also
communicate certain cultural messages.
Although signals, signs, symbols and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage.
They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. As
a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are based
upon speech. Radio, television and the telephone are only a few.

Question 43 : Which of the following is the best title for passage?

A. Speech B. Gestures C. Communication D. Signs and signals
Question 44: According to the passage, what is a signal?
A. The most difficult form of communication to describe.
B. The form of communication most related to cultural perception.
C. A form of communication which may be used across long distances.
D. A form of communication that interrupts the environment.
Question 45: The phrase “impinge on” is closest in meaning to
A. prohibit B. intrude C. improve D. vary
Question 46: The word “it” refers to ___
A. way B. function C. signal D. environment
Question 47: The word “intricate” could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. inefficient B. complicated C. historical D. uncertain
Question 48: Applauding was cited as an example of ____________.
A. a symbol B. a gesture C. a signal D. a sign
Question 49: Why were the telephone, radio, and TV invented?
A. people wanted new forms of entertainment.
B. people were unable to understand signs, symbols and signals.
C. people wanted to communicate across long distances.
D. people believed that signs, signals, and symbols were obsolete.
Question 50: It may be concluded from the passage that ____________.
A. signals, signs, symbols and gestures are forms of communication
B. symbols are very easy to define and interpret
C. only some cultures have signals and symbols
D. waving and handshaking are not related to culture
