VIII. 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 questions

The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made

enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat.

Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty

percent of cancer is related to the diet as well., especially cancer of the colon. People of different

cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the characteristic foods they consume.

That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that

nitrates and nitrites (commonly used to preserve color in meat) as well as other food additives caused

cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the

time to know which ingredients on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful.

The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry,

and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.

Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial

reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the

market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these

procedures, the practices continue.

A healthy diet is directly related to good health. Often we are unaware of detrimental substances we

ingest. Sometimes well-meaning farmers or others who do not realize the consequences add these

substances to food without our knowledge.

IX. 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 questions

The Moon has been worshipped by primitive peoples and has inspired humans to create everything

from lunar calendars to love sonnets, but what do we really know about it? The most accepted theory

about the origin of the Moon is that it was formed of the debris from a massive collision with the

young Earth about 4.6 billion years ago. A huge body, perhaps the size of Mars, struck the Earth,

throwing out an immense amount of debris that coalesced and cooled in orbit around the Earth.

The development of Earth is inextricably linked to the moon; the Moon’s gravitational influence

upon the Earth is the primary cause of ocean tides. In fact, the Moon has more than twice the effect

upon the tides than the Sun does. The Moon makes one rotation and completes a revolution around the

Earth every 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes. This synchronous rotation is caused by an uneven

distribution of mass in the Moon (essentially, it is heavier on one side than the other) and has allowed

the Earth’s gravity to keep one side of the Moon permanently facing Earth. It is an average distance

from Earth of 384,403 km.

The Moon has no atmosphere; without an atmosphere, the Moon has nothing to protect it from

meteorite impacts, and thus the surface of the Moon is covered with impact craters, both large and

small. The Moon also has no active tectonic or volcanic activity, so the erosive effects of atmospheric

weathering, tectonic shifts, and volcanic upheavals that tend to erase and reform the Earth’s surface

features are not at work on the Moon. In fact, even tiny surface features such as the footprint left by an

astronaut in the lunar soil are likely to last for millions of years, unless obliterated by a chance

meteorite strike. The surface gravity of the Moon is about one-sixth that of the Earth’s. Therefore, a

man weighing 82 kilograms on Earth would only weigh 14 kilograms on the Moon.

The geographical features of the Earth most like that of the Moon are, in fact, places such as the

Hawaiian volcanic craters and the huge meteor crater in Arizona. The climate of the Moon is very

unlike either Hawaii or Arizona, however; in fact the temperature on the Moon ranges between 123

degrees C. to –233 degrees C.
