 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 caused 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 egg 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 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 by 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 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 doing 
this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level. 
Question 36. What is the main purpose of the passage? 
A. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level. 
B. To inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol. 
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten 
D. To convince people to eat 'designer' eggs and egg substitutes. 
Question 37. What is meant by the phrase 'mixed results'? 
A. The results are blended. C. The results are a composite of things. 
B. The results are inconclusive. D. The results are mingled together. 
Question 38. According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of following types of eggs 
EXCEPT? 
A. boiled B. poached C. scrambled D. fried 
Question 39. According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol? 
A. decreasing egg intake and fat intake B. increasing egg intake and fat intake 
C. reducing egg intake but not fat intake D. increasing egg intake but not fat intake 
Question 40. According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases? 
A. minerals B. cholesterol C. canola oil D. vitamins 
Question 41. Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat'? 
A. in fact B. a little C. indefinitely D. a lot 
Question 42. What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs? 
A. increasing price B. decreased production 
C. dietary changes in hens D. concerns about cholesterol 
Question 43. According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested daily 
limit for human consumption of cholesterol? 
A. 3/4 B. 1/3 C. 2/3 D. 1/2 
Question 44. The word 'portrayed' could best be replaced by which of the following? 
A. studied B. destroyed C. tested D. described 
Question 45. What is the meaning of 'back up'? 
A. reverse B. advance C. block D. support

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 goal of Internet-based encyclopedia Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is to give everyone on the 
planet access to information. Like other encyclopedias, Wikipedia contains lots of information: more than 2.5 
million articles in 200 different languages covering just about every subject. Unlike other encyclopedias, 
however, Wikipedia is not written by experts, but by ordinary people. These writers are not paid and their 
names are not published. They contribute to Wikipedia simply because they want to share their knowledge. 
 Encyclopedias began in ancient times as collections of writings about all aspects of human knowledge. 
The word itself comes from ancient Greek, and means “a complete general education”. Real popularity for 
encyclopedias came in the nineteenth century in Europe and the United States, with the publication of 
encyclopedias written for ordinary readers. With the invention of the CD-ROM, the same amount of 
information could be put on a few computer discs. Then with the Internet, it became possible to create an 
online encyclopedia that could be constantly updated, like Microsoft’s Encarta. However, even Internet-based 
encyclopedias like Encarta were written by paid experts. At first, Wikipedia, the brainchild of Jimmy Wales, 
a businessman in Chicago, was not so different from these. In 2001, he had the idea for an Internet-based 
encyclopedia that would provide information quickly and easily to everyone. Furthermore, that information 
would be available free, unlike other Internet encyclopedias at that time. 
 But Wales, like everyone else, believed that people with special knowledge were needed to write the 
articles, and so he began by hiring experts. He soon changed his approach, however, as it took them a long 
time to finish their work. He decided to open up the encyclopedia in a radical new way, so that everyone 
would have access not only to the information, but also to the process of putting this information online. To do 
this, he used what is known as “Wiki” software (from the Hawaiian word for “fast”), which allows users to 
create or alter content on web page. The system is very simple: When you open the web site, you can simply 
search for information or you can log on to become a writer or editor of articles. If you find an article that 
interests you – about your hometown, for example – you can correct it or expand it. This process goes on until 
no one is interested in making any more changes. 
Question 53: Wikipedia is a(n) _______. 
A. book B. journal C. article D. dictionary 
Question 54: Wikipedia is written by _______. 
A. paid written B. millionaires C. normal people D. world experts 
Question 55: The phrase “these writers” in the first paragraph refers to _______. 
A. ordinary readers B. ordinary people C. encyclopedia experts D. every subject

A. CD-ROM dictionary B. printed encyclopedia 
C. online encyclopedia D. updateable online encyclopedia 
Question 58: The word “brainchild” in the second paragraph of the passage can be best replaced by_______. 
A. born B. child C. product D. father
