Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on youranswer sheet to indicate the correct

answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.

Human Nutrition is the study of how food affects the health and survival of the human body.

Human beings require food to grow, reproduce, and maintain good health. Without food, our bodies could

not stay warm, build or repair tissue, or maintain the heartbeat. Eating the right foods can help us avoid

certain diseases or recover faster when illness occurs. These and other important functions are fueled by

chemical substances in our food called nutrients. Nutrients are classified as carbohydrates, proteins, fats,

vitamins, minerals, and water.

When we eat a meal, nutrients are released from food through digestion. Digestion begins in the mouth

by the action of chewing and the chemical activity of saliva, a watery fluid that contains enzymes, certain

proteins that help break down food. Further digestion occurs as food travels through the stomach and the

small intestine, where digestive enzymes and acids liquefy food and muscle contractions push it along the

digestive tract. Nutrients are absorbed from the inside of the small intestine into the bloodstream and

carried to the sites in the body where they are needed. At these sites, several chemical reactions occur,

which ensures the growth and function of body tissues. The parts of foods that are not absorbed continue to

move down the intestinal tract and are eliminated from the body as feces.

Once digested, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats provide the body with the energy it needs to

maintain its many functions. Scientists measure this energy in kilocalories, the amount of energy needed to

raise one kilogram of water one degree Celsius. In nutrition discussions, scientists use the term calorie

instead of kilocalorie as the standard unit of measure in nutrition.

Nutrients are classified as essential or nonessential. Nonessential nutrients are manufactured in the

body and do not need to be obtained from food. Examples include cholesterol, a fatlike substance

present in all animal cells. Essential nutrients must be obtained from food sources, because the body either

does not produce them or produces them in amounts too small to maintain growth and health. Essential

nutrients include water, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals.

An individual needs varying amounts of each essential nutrient, depending upon such factors as gender

and age. Specific health conditions, such as pregnancy, breast-feeding, illness, or drug use, make

unusual demands on the body and increase its need for nutrients. Dietary guidelines, which take many of

these factors into account, provide general guidance in meeting daily nutritional needs.

Question 36: The first paragraph mainly discusses

A. the importance of food to human beings

B. a variety of essential nutrients to human beings

C. the study of human nutrition

.

D. chemical substances in our food

Question 37: The word “maintain” in the paragraph is closest meaning to “

.

A. Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats

C. Proteins, vitamins, and carbohydrates

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on youranswer sheet to indicate the correct

answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

American movies create myths about college life in the United States. These stories are

entertaining, but they are not true. You have to look beyond Hollywood movies to understand what college

is really like.

Thanks to the movies, many people believe that college students party and socialize more than they

study. Movies almost never show students working hard in class or in the library. Instead, movies show

them eating, talking, hanging out, or dancing to loud music at wild parties. While it is true that

American students have the freedom to participate in

activities, they also have academic responsibilities. In order to succeed, they have to attend classes and

study hard.

Another movie myth is that athletics is the only important extracurricular activity. In fact, there is a wide

variety of nonacademic activities on campus such as special clubs, service organizations, art, and theater

programs. This variety allows students to choose what interests them. Even more important, after

graduation, students’ résumés look better to employers if they list a few extracurricular activities.

Most students in the movies can easily afford higher education. If only this were true! While it is true

that some American college students are wealthy, most are from families with moderate incomes. Up to

80% of them get some type of financial aid. Students from middle and lower-income families often work

part-time throughout their college years. They have parents who think higher education is a priority, a

necessary and important part of their children’s lives.

Movies about college life usually have characters that are extreme in some way: super athletic,

super intelligent, super wealthy, super glamorous, etc. Movies use these stereotypes, along with other

myths of romance and adventure because audiences like going to movies that include these elements. Of

course, real college students are not like movie characters at all.

So the next time you want a taste of the college experience, do not go to the movies. Look at some

college websites or brochures instead. Take a walk around your local college campus. Visit a few

classes. True, you may not be able to see the same people or exciting action you will see in the movies, but

you can be sure that there are plenty of academic adventures going on all around you!

From “Read and Reflect” by Jayme Adelson-Goldstein with Lori Howard

A. Learning is only part of students’ college life

B. Not all extracurricular activities are students’ academic responsibilities.

Question 46: The word “moderate” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to “

”.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on youranswer sheet to indicate the correct

answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.

Human Nutrition is the study of how food affects the health and survival of the human body.

Human beings require food to grow, reproduce, and maintain good health. Without food, our bodies could

not stay warm, build or repair tissue, or maintain the heartbeat. Eating the right foods can help us avoid

certain diseases or recover faster when illness occurs. These and other important functions are fueled by

chemical substances in our food called nutrients. Nutrients are classified as carbohydrates, proteins, fats,

vitamins, minerals, and water.

When we eat a meal, nutrients are released from food through digestion. Digestion begins in the mouth

by the action of chewing and the chemical activity of saliva, a watery fluid that contains enzymes, certain

8

proteins that help break down food. Further digestion occurs as food travels through the stomach and the

small intestine, where digestive enzymes and acids liquefy food and muscle contractions push it along the

digestive tract. Nutrients are absorbed from the inside of the small intestine into the bloodstream

and carried to the sites in the body where they are needed. (Question 38) At these sites, several

chemical reactions occur, which ensures the growth and function of body tissues. The parts of foods that are

not absorbed continue to move down the intestinal tract and are eliminated from the body as feces.

Once digested, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats provide the body with the energy it needs to

maintain its many functions. (Question 39) Scientists measure this energy in kilocalories, the amount of

energy needed to raise one kilogram of water one degree Celsius. In nutrition discussions, scientists use

the term calorie instead of kilocalorie as the standard unit of measure in nutrition. (Question 40)

Nutrients are classified as essential or nonessential. Nonessential nutrients are manufactured in the body

and do not need to be obtained from food. Examples include cholesterol, a fatlike substance present in

all animal cells. Essential nutrients must be obtained from food sources, because the body either does not

produce them or produces them in amounts too small to maintain growth and health. Essential nutrients

include water, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals.

An individual needs varying amounts of each essential nutrient, depending upon such factors as gender

and age. Specific health conditions, such as pregnancy, breast-feeding, illness, or drug use, make

unusual demands on the body and increase its need for nutrients. Dietary guidelines, which take many of

these factors into account, provide general guidance in meeting daily nutritional needs. (Question

41)

Question 36: The first paragraph mainly discusses

.

A. the importance of food to human beings: Tầm quan trọng của thực phẩm đối với con người

B. a variety of essential nutrients to human beings: Các loại dinh dưỡng thiết yếu đối với con người

C. the study of human nutrition: Việc nghiên cứu dinh dưỡng của con người.

D. chemical substances in our food: Các chất hóa học trong thực phẩm của chúng ta.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on youranswer sheet to indicate the correct

answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

American movies create myths about college life in the United States. These stories are

entertaining, but they are not true. You have to look beyond Hollywood movies to understand what

college is really like. (Question 43)

Thanks to the movies, many people believe that college students party and socialize more than they

study. Movies almost never show students working hard in class or in the library. Instead, movies show

them eating, talking, hanging out, or dancing to loud music at wild parties. While it is true that

American students have the freedom to participate in

activities, they also have academic responsibilities. In order to succeed, they have to attend classes and

study hard.

Another movie myth is that athletics is the only important extracurricular activity. In fact, there is a wide

variety of nonacademic activities on campus such as special clubs, service organizations, art, and theater

programs. This variety allows students to choose what interests them. Even more important, after

9

graduation, students’ résumés look better to employers if they list a few extracurricular activities.

Most students in the movies can easily afford higher education. If only this were true! While it is true

that some American college students are wealthy, most are from families with moderate incomes. Up to

80% of them get some type of financial aid. Students from middle and lower-income families often

work part-time throughout their college years. (Question 49) They have parents who think higher

education is a priority, a necessary and important part of their children’s lives. (Question 48)

Movies about college life usually have characters that are extreme in some way: super athletic, super

intelligent, super wealthy, super glamorous, etc. Movies use these stereotypes, along with other myths of

romance and adventure because audiences like going to movies that include these elements. Of course, real

college students are not like movie characters at all.

So the next time you want a taste of the college experience, do not go to the movies. Look at some

college websites or brochures instead. Take a walk around your local college campus. Visit a few

classes. True, you may not be able to see the same people or exciting action you will see in the movies, but

you can be sure that there are plenty of academic adventures going on all around you!
