Part 3. Read the following passages and choose the correct answer.
Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture from food helped to preserve it, and that
the easiest way to do this was to expose the food to sun and wind. In this way the North American
Indians produced pemmican (dried meat ground into powder and made into cakes), the Scandinavians
made stockfish and the Arabs dried dates and apricots.
All foods contain water - cabbage and other leaf vegetables contain as much as 93% water,
potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean meat 75% and fish anything from 80% to 60% depending
on how fatty it is. If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which cause food to go bad is
checked.
Fruit is sun-dried in Asia Minor, Greece, Spain and other Mediterranean countries, and also in
California, South Africa and Australia. The methods used vary, but in general the fruit is spread out on
trays in drying yards in the hot sun. In order to prevent darkening, pears, peaches and apricots are
exposed to the fumes of burning sulphur before drying. Plums for making prunes, and certain varieties
of grapes for making raisins and currants, are dipped in an alkaline solution in order to crack the skins
of the fruit slightly and remove their wax coating, so increasing the rate of drying.
 Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically; the conventional method of such dehydration is to
put food in chambers through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about 110°C at entry to about
45°C at exit. This is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables, minced meat, and fish.
Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated
horizontal steel cylinder or by spraying them into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes.
In the first case, the dried material is scraped off the roller as a thin film which is then broken up into
small, though still relatively coarse flakes. In the second process it falls to the bottom of the chamber as
a fine powder. Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup, the
ingredients are dried separately and then mixed.
Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and
they do not need to be stored in special conditions. For these reasons they are invaluable to climbers,
explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space. They are also popular with housewives
because it takes so little time to cook them.

Part 4. Read the following passage and decide whether the following statements are true or false.
 Are you interested in seeing the beautiful fall foliage of New England but tired of traffic jams and
overbooked hotels? Then this year forget the crowds in New England and see the beautiful colors of
autumn in the Catskills.
These rugged mountains in New York State, just 90 miles northwest of New York City, are famous
for the legendary tales of Rip Van Winkle, and more recently for the summer hotels that sprang up in
the region during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Families trying to escape the heat of New York City
found the Catskills to be the perfect place to stay for a month or so each summer. By the late 1950s
there were over 500 resorts and hotels offering nighttime entertainment as well as all kinds of outdoor
activities. Famous comedians like Jackie Gleason, Joan Rivers, and Sid Caesar all got their start touring
the hotel clubs here. Since the introduction of air-conditioning and cheaper air travel, however, families
have stopped coming to the Catskills in such large numbers, choosing instead more distant locations at
different times of the year. Many of the Catskill hotels closed in the 1970s, but some remain and have
expanded and changed their facilities to meet the needs of today's visitors.
Currently, there are many activities available to the traveler besides witnessing the changing colors
of the leaves. There is an all-organic sheep farm where visitors can see how a traditional sheep farm
operates. There are also hundreds of miles of scenic drives in the area. Route 42, for instance, is an
excellent site for spotting bald eagles. For more information on vacations in the Catskills, call the
Office of Public Information.
1. The author's main purpose in this passage is to promote the Catskills as a vacation destination
2. Affordable air travel caused the decline in the number of resorts in the 1970s
3. Tourists would most likely have visited the Catskills in the 1950s in winter.
4. The passage implies that a visitor might be lucky enough to see a kind of bird
5. The author implies that in the Catskills there are few people
