READING COMPREHENSION
Time 55 minutes
Directions : In this section , you will read several passages. Each passages is followed by
questions about it. Choose the one best answer, ( A ), ( B ), ( C ), or ( D ) for each
question. Then, on your answer sheet, find the number of the question and fill in the oval
that corresponds to the letter of your answer choice. Answer all questions based on what
is stated or implied in the reading passage.

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.

( A ) ( B ) ( C) ( D )

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. Children living in older, dilapidated houses are
particularly at risk.

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 bodys production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it still
makes sense to limit ones 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)

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 ? Researchers are still working to uncover
the reasons for this isolated groups belated disappearance.

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. The conclusion we can most likely draw from the above is that while the types and
locations of restaurants determine etiquette appropriate to them, some rules apply to all
restaurants.

vast acclaim; however, when she returned to the United States, she was still barred from

cultural life . Eventually, in 1955, she became the first African American singer to perform at

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 persons 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 persons health.
When the body lacks a sufficient amount of carbohydrates, it must then use its protein suppliers
for energy, a process called gluconeogenesis. However, this results in a lack of necessary protein
and further health difficulties may occur. A lack of carbohydrates can also lead to ketosis, a build
up of ketones in the body that causes fatique, lethargy and bad breath.

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 doesnt 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.

Questions 37 to 48 are based on the following passage :

A pilot cant 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.
