III: Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question from the four choices
(A or B, C, D).
Carbohydrates, which are sugars, are an essential part of a healthy diet. They provide the
main source of energy for the body, and they also function to flavor and sweeten foods.
Carbohydrates range from simple sugars like glucose to complex sugars such as amylose and
amylopectin. Nutritionists estimate that carbohydrates should make up about one-fourth to 5
one-fifth of a person’s diet. This translates to about 75-100 grams of carbohydrates per day.
A diet that is deficient in carbohydrates can have an adverse effect 10 on a person’s
health. When the body lacks a sufficient amount of carbohydrates it must then use its protein
supplies for energy, a process called gluconeogenesis. This, however, results in a lack of
necessary protein, and further health difficulties may occur. A lack of carbohydrates can also
lead to ketosis, a build-up of ketones 15 in the body that causes fatigue, lethargy, and bad
breath.
1. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Carbohydrates are needed for good health.
B. Carbohydrates prevent a build-up of proteins.
C. Carbohydrates can lead to ketosis.
D. Carbohydrates are an expendable part of a good diet.
2. The word “function” as used in line 2 refers to which of the following?
A. neglect B. serve C. dissolve D. profess
3. The word “range” as used in line 3 is closest in meaning to which of the following?
A. probe B. proceed C. hail D. extend
4. In line 4, the word “estimate” could best be replaced by
A. disbelieve B. declare C. calculate D. wonder
5. According to the passage, what do most nutritionists suggest?
A. Sufficient carbohydrates will prevent gluconeogenesis.
B. Carbohydrates are simple sugars called glucose.
C. Carbohydrates should make up about a quarter of a person’s daily diet.
D. Carbohydrates should be eaten in very small quantities.
6. Which of the following do carbohydrates NOT do?
A. prevent ketosis B. cause gluconeogenesis
C. provide energy for the body D. flavor and sweeten food
7. Which of the following words could best replace “deficient” as used in line 6?
A. outstanding B. Abundant C. Insufficient D. unequal
8. What does the word “this” refer to in line 8?

III. Read the following passage and do the tasks below.
Almost a hundred thousand people were killed and half a million homes destroyed as a
result of an earthquake in Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake began a minute before noon when
the inhabitants of Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were
overturned as soon as the earth began to shake.
As a result, small fires broke out everywhere and quickly spread. The fire engines were
prevented from going to help because many of the roads had cracked open. It was impossible
to use fire fighting equipment as most of the water pipes had burst. Consequently, over ninety
percent of the damage was caused by fire rather than by the collapse of the buildings. Most of
those who died were not killed in the earthquake itself but in the fires, which followed. If the
earthquake had occurred at night while people were sleeping, far fewer would have died.
A. Answer the following questions.
1. How many people were killed after the earthquake?
___________________________________________________________________
2. Why were the engines prevented from going to help?
__________________________________________________________________
3. Was it possible to use fighting equipment?

can drop below freezing for most of this month. The city usually averages about 30 inches of
snow during this 3-month period. Occasionally, we have snow storms that can drop a foot of
snow in a very short period of time. Spring usually arrives in late March, it’s a beautiful
season because the flowers start to bloom. It is sometimes windy, and this is great for flying
kites. People in my city often like to go on picnics, stroll though parks, and play outdoor
games. Summer starts in June and it’s very dry with little rain throughout the season.
Fortunately, the weather is very dry with low humidity, so it is real pleasant even on hot days.

Alaska is perhaps the most amazing state in the USA. It has coastlines facing both the
Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. This state has an incredible three million lakes. That’s
four lakes per person living there.
Many cities in Alaska cannot be reached by road, sea, or river. The only way to get in
and out is by air, on foot, or by dogsled. That’s why Alaska has the busiest sea airport in the
world, Lake Hood Seaplane Base. Nearly two hundred floatplanes take off and land on the
water of this airport every day. It’s really a fun scene to watch.
