Choose the item among A,B,C or D that best answer the questions about the passage :

    Although they are an expensive 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 alternative 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 eggs, sometimes called "designer" eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that have low fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flaw, and ice 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 relationships between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of eggs 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 designer eggs;it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat   will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level .

41. What is the main purpose of this passage?

A.to inform people about the relation between eggs and cholesterol .

B.to convince people to eat "designer" eggs and egg substitutes .

C. to persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten .

D. to introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol  level .

42. According to the passage, what has been the cause of changes in the sale of eggs is…….

A.dietary changes in hens .                                B. decreased production.

C.concerns about cholesterol.                            D. increased production.

43. Which of the following is a cause of heart disease according to the passage?

A. minerals                 B. cholesterol                   C. vitamins                       D.canola oil

44. As used in line 8, which of the following could be best replaced the word "somewhat"

A.indefinitely             B. in fact                           C. a little                           D. a lot

45. According to the passage, one egg yolk contains approximately what fraction of suggested daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol?

 A. 1/3                         B.1/2                                 C.2/3                                 D.3/4

46. The word " portrayed" in line 19 could bets be replaced by which of the following ?

 Read the following passage and choose the best options

                    Sea otters dwell in the North Pacific. They are the largest of the mustelids, a group of which also includes freshwater otters, weasels, and badgers. They are from four to five feet long, and most weigh from 60 to 85 pounds. Large males may weigh 100 pounds or more.

            Unlike most marine mammals, such as seals or dolphins, sea otters lack a layer of blubber, and therefore have to eat up to 30% of their body weight a day in clams, crabs, fish, octopus, squids, and other delicacies to maintain body heat. Their voracious appetites do not create food shortages, though, because they are picky eaters, each animal preferring only a few food types. Thus no single type of food source is exhausted. Sea otters play an important environmental role by protecting forests of seaweed called kelp, which provide shelters and nutrients for  many species. Certain sea otters feast on invertebrates like sea urchins and abalones that destroy kelp.

            Sea otters eat and sleep while floating on their backs, often on masses of kelp. They seldom come on shore. Sea otters keep warm by means of their luxuriant double-layered fur, the densest among animals. The soft outer fur forms a protective cover that keeps the fine underfur dry. One  square inch of underfur contains up to 1 million hairs. Unfortunately, this essential feature almost led to their extinction, as commercial fur hunters drastically reduced their numbers.

            Under government protection, the sea otter population has recovered. While elated by the otters return, scientists are concerned about the California sea otter population growth of 5% a year, lagging behind the 18% a year rate among Alaska otters. Sea otters are extremely sensitive  to population. In 1989 up to 5,000 sea otters perished when the Exxon Valdez spilled oil in Prince William Sound, Alaska.
