Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question It's hard to find artifacts that are genuinely American, but the present day banjo may be one of them. Even though its ancestry is African, the modern banjo is nothing like the early instruments first brought b y Africans to the southern plantations. In the nineteenth century the banjo was a standard instrument in minstrel shows, and, as it continued to be used, it was changed in various ways. Machined pegs were added 5 for precise tuning, frets were added for better intonation, and vellum heads were added to improve the
tension. The number of strings also continued to change. Early banjos had four strings, while later models had as many as nine. In the late 1800s, the five-string banjo was developed, a model that had a small unfretted drone string that was played with the thumb. This was the instrument that country singer Earl Scruggs played, and was the type used to produce that great style of music known as American bluegrass. 10 In the 1920s, the four-string tenor banjo made a remarkable comeback, as banjo bands became popular in schools and clubs from coast to coast. Again in the 1960s there was a renewed interest in folk and country music that brought the banjo back into the forefront of American music. It's an American instrument that continues to live on. 21. What does this passage mainly discuss? (A) the lasting effects of bluegrass music (B) the development of an American instrument (C) the life of a banjo (D) changes in music in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries 22. The banjo originally came from (A) southern plantations (B) folk and country music (C) minstrel shows (D) Africa 23. The word "plantations" in line 3 most probably refers to (A) types of farms in the South (B) southern states (C) southern musical theaters (D) bands common in the South 24. Which of the following words is most similar to the word "pegs" in line 4? (A) holes (B) bars (C) pins (D) strings 25. The word "precise" in line 5 could best be replaced by which of the following? (A) accurate (B) confirmed (C) processed (D) forthcoming 26. According to the passage, all of the following are true of the five-string banjo EXCEPT: (A) It was used by Earl Scruggs. (B) It was famous in the production of bluegrass music. (C) It had an unfretted string. (D) It was a tenor banjo. 27. Which of the following is most similar to the meaning of "comeback" in line 10? (A) performance (B) reappearance (C) gain (D) achievement 28. The word "renewed" in line 11 could be best replaced by which of the following? (A) rescued (B) remarkable (C) revived (D) renowned 29. Which of the following means most nearly the same as the word "forefront" as used in line 12? (A) forecast (B) spotlight (C) footnote (D) record 30. Which of the following best indicates the author's attitude toward the banjo? (A) It is a unique instrument. (B) It should be in a museum. (C) It should be used more. (D) It must be kept alive. Exercise 4. Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question 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 disease. One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has caused egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several 5 alternatives to eating regular eggs. One alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having lower cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking. 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 10 b y hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diets, 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. Egg 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 15 brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of egg 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 certain 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 20 doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level. 31. What is the main purpose of this passage? (A) to inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol (B) to convince people to eat "designer" eggs and egg substitutes (C) to persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten (D) to introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level 32. As used in line 4, the word "plummet" refers to which of the following? (A) drop abruptly (B) rise gently (C) hesitate unexpectantly (D) bounce uncertainly 33. According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart disease? (A) minerals (B) cholesterol (C) vitamins (D) canola oil 2
34. As used in line 6, which of the following could best replace the word "somewhat"? (A) indefinitely (B) in fact (C) a little (D) a lot 35. According to the passage, what has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs? (A) dietary changes in hens (B) decreased production (C) increasing price (D) a shrinking market 36. According to the passage, one egg yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol? (A) 1/3 (B) 1/2 (C) 2/3 (D) 3/4 37. As used in line 13, what is the meaning of the phrase "back up"? (A) reverse (B) advance (C) support (D) block 38. What does the author mean by the phrase "mixed results" in line 15? (A) The results are blended. (B) The results are inconclusive. (C) The results are a composite of things. (D) The results are mingled together. 39. According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of the following types of eggs EXCEPT (A) scrambled (B) fried (C) poached (D) boiled 40. According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol? (A) reducing egg intake but not fat intake (B) increasing egg intake and fat intake (C) increasing egg intake but not fat intake (D) decreasing egg intake and fat intake VOCABULARY AND STRUCTURES: 41.
