In 1810, Peter Durand (42) ______ tremendous progress in food preservation with his invention of the tin can. The cans were ideal for transporting food and for (43) ______ spoilage for extended periods. But consumers of canned food had to (44) ______ their own ingenuity to open the solidly constructed cans, which sometimes outweighed the foodstuffs inside. Durand\u2019s solution had created a new problem, (45) ______ opening the cans. In the early days, the (46) ______ most favored was the brute force of a hammer and chisel. In 1858, Ezra Warner designed a crude and somewhat (47) ______ can opener. Finally (48) ______ 1930, the safe design that underlies today\u2019s common kitchen utensils had<\/span><\/p> been invented.

The slight difference (56) ______ the olfactory images seems to occur (57) ______ the air flows at a different rate through each nostril, one of (58) ______ has a low flow-rate and the other a high one. Odors that dissolve slowly have their maximum effect in the (59) ______ that has a slow movement of air. Conversely, those that dissolve quickly have their (60) ______ effect when the air stream is moving rapidly. Thus, air drawn into the nose will give different responses in each nostril.

READING COMPREHENSION (10 PTS): Read the texts below and choose the best answer to each question. <\/span><\/p> Passage A<\/span> <\/span><\/p> Recently, researchers conducted a survey to investigate what motivates young adults to exercise. The study might shed light on why so few college students exercise and why many stop their exercise workouts after they graduate. Researchers analyzed responses from 937 randomly selected college students at a leading U.S. university. What the research team found was that 39% of the male students and 26% of the female students exercised at least three days a week for 20 minutes at a time. These exercise patterns were fairly similar to those in surveys at other universities. The survey also revealed some critical factors which motivate college students to exercise. <\/span><\/p> Men who exercised regularly reported that their friends provided considerable support for them to do so. Those who exercised only occasionally had moderate support from their friends, while those who did not exercise at all had little or no support from friends. For women, however, the crucial motivating factor seemed to come from family members rather than from friends. Women who exercised regularly had a great deal of positive support to do so from their families. However, women who exercised only occasionally received moderate levels of encouragement from their families, while those who did not work out at all received little or no support from their families. Since college students often live far from home, women students are likely to have a weaker support system than do their male counterparts. <\/span><\/p> A medical professor, upon seeing the results of the study, remarked that generally there is not so much emphasis on body performance among girls and young women. \u201cIt\u2019s a macho thing to be able to run faster or lift weights,\u201d he said. \u201cHowever,\u201d he continued, \u201cfor the younger generation, this gender gap appears to be getting smaller.\u201d <\/span><\/p> 61. What is the main purpose of the study presented in this passage? <\/span><\/p> A. to investigate college students\u2019 attitudes towards good health and exercise <\/span><\/p> B. to find out why young women don\u2019t like to exercise<\/span><\/p> C. to learn what makes college students exercise <\/span><\/p> D. to find the best type of exercise workout for college students <\/span><\/p> 62. What research method was used in this study? <\/span><\/p> A. College students reported on their friends\u2019 exercise workouts. <\/span><\/p> B. College students reported on their families\u2019 exercise patterns. <\/span><\/p> C. College professors answered questions about their students. <\/span><\/p> D. College students answered questions about themselves. <\/span><\/p> 63. What similarity between men and women did the study find? <\/span><\/p> A. The more friends they have, the more they exercise. <\/span><\/p> B. The more support they have to exercise, the more they exercise. <\/span><\/p> C. The closer they live to their families, the more they exercise. <\/span><\/p> D. The more health-conscious they are, the more they exercise. <\/span><\/p> 64. In comparison to the general college population, students at this university exercise ______. A. less often than average <\/span><\/p> B. about the same amount as average <\/span><\/p> C. more often than average <\/span><\/p> D. for longer at a time than average <\/span><\/p> 65. Why does the passage mention that some college students live far from home? A. to emphasize that they do not see their families every day <\/span><\/p> B. to criticize their life styles <\/span><\/p> C. to show how independent they are <\/span><\/p> D. to explain why they depend on their friends so much <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p> Passage B<\/span> <\/span><\/p> It has long been known that underweight, premature babies develop into children who perform worse at school than children who had normal birth weight and were full-term. A recent study examining the effects of birth weight on intelligence suggests that even among full-term babies the heavier ones have an advantage. The study has been following 3,900 British men and women since their birth in 1946. Birth weight was correlated with scores on tests of reading and arithmetic skills, non-verbal reasoning, memory, speed, and concentration. These tests were conducted when the participants were 8, 11, 15, 26, and 43 years old. Generally speaking, the heavier children performed better on the tests. The relationship was strongest at age 8 and then weakened over time. By age 43, the relationship was negligible. The results were not affected by birth order, gender, father\u2019s social class, or mother\u2019s education and age. <\/span><\/p> These findings must be interpreted with caution. First, the results were based on averages. Second, birth weight is only one of numerous factors influencing cognitive function. Parental interest in education – such as volunteering at school or helping with homework – may offset the effect of birth weight. Furthermore, poor environmental conditions, such as living in an overcrowded home, breathing polluted air, or being caught in a bitter divorce can diminish the early advantages enjoyed by heavier babies. <\/span><\/p> Although no one knows exactly what makes a newborn baby heavy, it is known that healthy, well-nourished mothers tend to have heavier babies, while those who eat poorly, smoke, and are heavy drinkers tend to produce smaller ones. There are probably several other variables that affect birth weight, but if and how those are connected to intelligence is not known. <\/span><\/p> 66. In this study, the researchers examined the relationship between _______. <\/span><\/p> A. maternal nutrition and birth weight <\/span><\/p> B. home environment and intelligence <\/span><\/p> C. age and intelligence <\/span><\/p> D. intelligence and birth weight <\/span><\/p> 67. What did the researchers find out about the relationship they were studying? <\/span><\/p> A. It increased up to age 26, then decreased. <\/span><\/p> B. It remained steady until age 26, then decreased. <\/span><\/p> C. It decreased as the subjects grew older. <\/span><\/p> D. It remained steady throughout the study. <\/span><\/p> 68. Which children have an advantage at school? <\/span><\/p> A. Those who were full-term, lighter weight babies. <\/span><\/p> B. Those who were premature but normal weight babies. <\/span><\/p> C. Those who were full-term, heavier babies. <\/span><\/p><\/span><\/span>\u0110\u1ec0 CH\u00cdNH TH\u1ee8C<\/span><\/p>
