Section Three: Reading Comprehension

Directions: Read the passages and choose the one best answer, (1) , (2), (3) or (4), for each question.

Passage 1

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 meats) 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 labels 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 practice 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 No. / 1

66- According to the passage, researchers.................. .

certainly know that forty percent of all illnesses is because of diet

are definitely sure that diet has a direct role in all human illnesses

it is difficult for researchers to announce which additives are harmful

only additives that are used to preserve color are harmful

the packaging labels can be both harmless and harmful

Passage 2

Some people believe that television has destroyed communication among friend and family. In my opinion, however, the opposite is true. Television can increase communication. News and other information we see on TV gives us things to discus with our friends and family. TV also helps us understand each other better because we all have access to the same TV programs. Finally, TV can help us share our interests with other people. Television programs give us things to think and talk about. These days it is always possible to hear up-to-the minute news every time we tum on the television. We hear about things happening all around the world that directly affect our lives. Everybody has opinions about these things and everybody wants to discuss their opinions with other people. So, TV news and information programs encourage us to discuss our ideas with our friends and family. No matter what city you live in, you have access to the same TV programs a people in other parts of the country. When you go to a new city to work, study, or take a vacation, you will already have something in common with the people there. When you meet new people, you will probably be familiar with at least some of the same TV programs. This gives you something to talk about and a way to begin new friendships Most people use TV as a way to pursue their interests. People who play sports usually like to watch sports on TV. People who like to cook watch cooking shows. If your friends and family watch some of the same programs as you do, they can learn more about the things that interest you. This is an excellent form of communication that helps people understand each other better. TV is a tool that gives us access to information, entertainment, and education. When we watch programs that interest us, we want to share this interest with other people.

Question No. / 1

71- What is the main point of the passage?

TV can promote communication among people with its variety of programs.

TV is a means of destruction.

Only people with especial interest can enjoy watching TV.

Watching the news on TV results in arguments among friends.

75- The word "this" in paragraph 3 refers to................. .

Passage 3

BEWARE OF THE DRONES!

Killer drones. attack drones. spy drones, surveillance drones. The Pentagon has ome 7,000 aerial drones in operation right now. However, the Washington Time predicts that by 2020, there could be as many as 30,000. But is this a good thing? First of all. what is a drone? Basically. a drone is a plane without a pilot - an "unmanned aerial vehicle" ( UA V), or "remote piloted aircraft" (RPA). Drones can be controlled by a preprogrammed computer or a pilot in a control centre. Drones have several important civilian uses. They can be used to analyze traffic, detect poachers, inspect remote gas and oil pipes, monitor forest fires, patrol the coast, track storms, check up on endangered wildJife and locate escaped prisoners. They can also be used for search and rescue missions. Just recentlv, the German railway organization has started using surveillance drones in their fight against graffiti. With their therrnalimaging cameras, the drones are used to identify graffitiprayers, who are then arrested by security guards. Drones are used extensively by the military too. Drones are cheaper to buy and run than conventional aircraft they keep military personnel out of harm's way, they can stay in operation for significantly longer periods of time, and they can attack with pinpoint accuracy from greater distances (reducing, in theory, collateral damage to civilians and infrastructure). Military drones have two principal uses. Firstly, they're used for surveillance. The technology for this is known as the "Gorgon Stare" - a video capture device with nine cameras which can take in a 4-by-4 kilometer area. Drones are also used to strike targets, either buildings or people. More controversially, drones have been used in the assassination of suspected terrorists. For example, in September 2011, US citizen Anwar aJ - Awlaki, who was accused of being the organizationaJ leader of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, wa killed in Yemen by a US drone strike. He died without an opportunity to answer the charges. Some argue that the use of drones puts fighting wars on a similar level to video games, making it too easy and diminishing ethical decisions. Should we be afraid of drones?

Question No. / 1

76- According to the passage which one is NOT correct?

One of the uses of drones in cities is to control the traffic.

Passage 4

The influence of Hindu traditions can be seen in Indian architecture. Many architectural trends began in Gupta times. These include building with stone rather than wood: erecting a high, pyramidal roof instead of a flat roof; and sculpting elaborate decorations on the roof. The influence of Indian architecture spread throughout Southeast Asia, including Burma, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. In northwestern Cambodia, ancient builders erected a large complex of Hindu temples called Angkor Wat. The architectural trends that began in Gupta times can be seen in this complex, which was built in the 11 00s. It is the world's largest religious structure and is considered one of the world's greatest architectural achievements. It was built as a symbolic mountain dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu. Some years later, the complex became a Buddhist temple. Indian influences are seen in the design of Angkor Wat. For example, the buildings in the temple complex have pyramidal roofs. They are built of stone, with elaborate sculptures decorating the roofs and walls. The complex covers nearly a square mile.
