Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions. ( from 51 to 60).

Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high- quality protein,
eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases.
One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two- thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol
limit. This knowledge has driven egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has
brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs. One
alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These eggs substitutes are not really eggs, but they look
somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having low
cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in banking. One disadvantage,
however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative to
regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called “designer” eggs. These eggs are produced
by hens that are fed low- flat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice
bran. In spite of their diet, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of
cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not
raise the blood cholesterol in humans.
Eggs producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific
studies to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and
human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results. It may be that is not the type of eggs that is
the main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be
more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people. In fact, there is evidence
that certainly dietary fats stimulate the body’s production of blood cholesterol. Consequently,
while it still makes sense to limit one’s intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing
this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level.
Question 51: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary at increases the blood cholesterol level.


D. The results are mingled together

Question 55: According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol?
A. Reducing egg intake but not fat intake

Question 56: Which of the following could best replace the word “somewhat”?

B. a little

C. indefinitely

D. a lot

Question 57: According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of
the suggested daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol?
A. 3/4

B. 2/3

C. 1/2

D. 1/3
