Read the following passage : A new hearing device is now available for some hearing – impaired people. This device uses a magnet to hold the detachable sound processing portion in place. Like other aids, it converts sound into vibrations. But it is unique in that it can transmit the vibrations directly to the magnet and then to the inner ear. This produces a clearer sound. The new device will not help all hearing impaired people – only those with a hearing loss caused by infection or some other problem in the middle ear. It will probably help no more than 20 percent of all people with hearing problems. Those people who have persistent ear infections, however, should find relief and restored hearing with the new device. What is the author’s main purpose ? ( A) (B) (C) (D)

( A ) ( B ) ( C) ( D ) The phrase “ less distress “ is similar in meaning to “ relief “ in this sentence. Therefore, you should choose answer ( A ). Now begin with the questions. Questions 1 to 12 are based on the following passage : Lead poisoning in children is a major health concern. Both low and high doses of paint can have serious effects. Children exposede to high doses of lead often suffer permanent nerve damage, mental retardation, blindness and even death. Low doses of lead can lead to mild mental retardation, short attention spans, distractibility, poor academic performance and behavioural problems. This is not a new concern. As early as 1904 , lead poisoning in children was linked to lead based paint . Microscopic lead particles from paint are absorbed into the bloodstream when children ingest flakes of chipped paint, plaster or paint dust from sanding. Lead can also enter the body through household dust, nail biting, thumb sucking or chewing on toys and other objects painted with lead based paint. Although American paint companies today must comply with strict regulations regarding the amount of lead used in their paint, this source of lead poisoning is still the most common and most dangerous.

Questions 13 to 24 are based on the following passage : Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals and high quality protein , eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart disease. One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has caused egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs. One alternatives is to eat substitute eggs. These egg substitutes are not really eggs but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having lower cholesterol rates and they can be scrambled or used in baking. One disadvantage, however,, is that they are not good for frying, poaching or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called “ designer “ eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low fat diets, consisting of ingredients such as canola oil,flax and rice bran. In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans. Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the main
determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people. In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body’s production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one’s intake of eggs, even designers eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level.
13. What is the main purpose of this passage ? ( A) (B) (C) (D)
To inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol To convince people to eat “ designer “ eggs and egg substitutes To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level
14. Which lines of the passage best explain why egg producers have introduce egg subs – titutes. ( A) (B) (C) (D)
Lines 1 – 9 Lines 9 – 11 Lines 24 – 28 Lines 34 – 37

17. According to the passage , what has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs ? ( A) (B) (C) (D)

Questions 25 to 36 are based on the following passage : A team of Russian scientists has challenged the theory that the wooly mammoths became extinct 10,000 years agoat the end of the Ice age. The scientists have reported that the beasts may have survived until 2000 B.C.E on an island off the coast of Siberia where researchers uncovered 29 fossilized wooly mammoth teeth ranging in age from 4,000 to 7,000 years. The question to be asked now, how did these prehistoric pachderms survive in their island environment ? One possibility is that they adapted to their confined surroundings by decreasing their bulk. This theory is based on their smaller tooth size , which had led scientists to believe that they were only 6 feet of their full sized counterpart but would this be enough to enable them to survive thousands of years beyond that of other mammoths ?

Questions 37 to 48 are based on the following passage : The rules of etiquette in American restaurants depend upon a number of factors : the physical location of the restaurant ( that is rural or urban ) ; the type of restaurant ( that is,informal or formal ) ; and certain standards that are more universal . In other words, some standards of etiquette vary significantly while other standards apply almost anywhere. Learning the proper etiquette in a particular type of a restaurant in a particular area may sometimes require instructions but more commonly it simply requires sensitivity and experience. For example, while it is acceptable to read a magazine in a coffee shop , it is inappropriate to do the same in a more setting, it may be fine to tuck your napkin into your shirt, but if you are in a sophisticated urban restaurant, this behaviour would demonstrate a lack of manners. It is safe to say, however, that in virtually every restaurant it is unacceptable to indiscriminately throw your food on the floor.

Questions 13 to 24 are based on the following passage : Carbohydrate , which are sugars, are an essential parts of healthy diet. They provide the main source of energy for the body, and they also function to flavor and sweeten foods. Carbohydrates range from simple sugars like glucose to complex sugars such as amylase and amylopectin. Nutritionists estimate that carbohydrates should make up about one – fourth to onefifth of a person’s diet. This translates to about 75 – 100 grams of carbohydrates per day. A diet that is deficient in carbohydrates can have an adverse effect on a person’s health. When the body lacks a sufficient amount of carbohydrates, it must then use its protein suppliers for energy, a process called gluconeogenesis.

Questions 25 5to 36 are based on the following passage ? After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity , business schools in the United States have started to face times. Only Harvard ‘s MBA school has shown a substantial increase in enrollment in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Bussiness Administration ( MBA ) degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000 and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to continue.
There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that many graduates of four year colleges are finding that an MBA degree doesn’t guarantee a plush job on Wall street or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry level management jobs are going to students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question “ Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting a good job ? “ The second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of entry level jobs being offered. Bussiness needs are changing and MBA schools are struggling to meet the n ew demands. 25. What is the main focus of this passage ? ( A) (B) (C) (D)

Questions 37 to 48 are based on the following passage : A pilot can’t fly a plane by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Because human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects , radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving . The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out a short burst of radio waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects. By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects. The word “ radar “ in fact, gets its name from the term “ radio detection and ranging “. “ Ranging “ is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar is essentialo for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea and for tracking weather systems and storms. 37.
