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.

The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. People of different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the characteristic foods they consume.

That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites (commonly used to preserve color in meat) as well as other food additives caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which ingredients on the packaging label of processed food are helpful or harmful.

The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.

Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.

A healthy diet is directly related to good health. Often we are unaware of detrimental substances we ingest. Sometimes well-meaning farmers or others who do not realize the consequences add these substances to food without our knowledge.

Question 31: How has science done a disservice to people?

A. Because of science, disease caused by contaminated food has been virtually eradicated.

B. It caused a lack of information concerning the value of food.

C. As a result of scientific intervention, some potentially harmful substances have been added to our food.

D. The scientists have preserved the color of meats, but not of vegetables.

Question 32: The word “additives” in paragraph 3 refers to ______.

A. dangerous substances B. added substances C. natural substances D. begin substances

Question 33: The word “carcinogenic” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.

A. trouble-making B. color-retaining C. money-making D. cancer-causing

Question 34: All of the following statements are TRUE except ________.

A. Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons

B. Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals

C. Researchers have known about the potential hazards of food additives for more than forty-five years

D. Food may cause forty percent of the cancer in the world

Question 35: What is the best title for this passage?

A. Harmful and Harmless Substances in Food. B. Improving Health through a Natural Diet.

C. The Food You Eat Can Affect Your Health. D. Avoiding Injurious Substances in Food.

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.

Throwaway plastic has found its way into various aspects of our lives. As awareness of the detrimental impacts that plastic can have on the environment has exploded in recent years, environmentally friendly alternatives are becoming increasingly common.

Biodegradable plastics are one set of materials that are becoming a popular replacement as consumers demand green alternatives. Rather than remaining stable for hundreds of years, biodegradable plastics can be broken down by microbes in the air, chewed up and turned into biomass, water and carbon dioxide. A smaller group of them are compostable, which means that not only are they broken down by microbes, but they can also be turned into compost. Most biodegradable and compostable plastics are made from plants rather than fossil fuels and depending on the application you need them for, there are plenty to choose from.

The biggest potential area of impact for compostable plastics is in food service. From coffee cups to sandwich packaging to takeaway containers, putting food in compostable plastics means that the plastic and any food waste still stuck to it can be composted together. It’s a double win: reducing the amount of plastic being sent to landfill and at the same time making sure food waste is returned to the soil, not left to rot in landfill where it will release methane. By reducing the amount of traditional plastics that contaminate food waste, we can at least ensure that some of that wasted food is eventually used as compost, rather than ending up in landfill or incineration.

There are some other applications suited to biodegradables too. Traditionally, farmers in Europe have used sheets made from polyethylene mulch over crops to prevent weeds growing and to conserve water, with around half of this plastic ending up in landfill after it’s used. But since 2019, a new European biodegradability standard for these mulches means that farmers can buy plastic that they can plough back into the field safe in the knowledge that it will break down and not harm the soil. Industry, too, is beginning to use bio-lubricants used to keep machines running smoothly rather than fossil fuel -based ones. Progress made by countries like Italy - where single - use bags for produce and baked goods must be compostable, and can be recycled as part of widespread food waste collections - shows that solutions to some of our plastic problems are indeed possible.

Question 36: The word “exploded” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _________.

Question 40: According to paragraph 3, all of the following are benefits of using compostable plastic in food service EXCEPT ______.

A. Less plastic and food waste will be sent to landfill to rot.

B. Plastic and food waste can be composted simultaneously.
