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
Another critical factor that plays a part in susceptibility to colds is age. A study done by the University of Michigan School of Public Health revealed particulars that seem to hold true for the general population. Infants are the most cold-ridden group, averaging more than six colds in their first year. Boys have more colds than girls up to age three. After the age of three, girls are more susceptible than boys and teenage girls average three colds a year to boys’ two.
The general incidence of colds continues to decline into maturity. Elderly people who are in good health have as few as one or two colds annually. One exception is found among people in their twenties, especially women, who show a rise in cold infections, because people in this age group are most likely to have young children. Adults who delay having children until their thirties and forties experience the same sudden increase in cold infections.
The study also found that economics plays an important role. As income increases, the frequency at which colds are reported in the family decreases. Families with the lowest income suffer about a third more colds than families at the lower ends. Lower income generally forces people to live in more cramped quarters those typically occupied by wealthier people, and crowding increases the opportunities for the cold virus to travel from person to person. Low income may also adversely influence diet. The degree to which poor nutrition affects susceptibility to colds is not yet clearly established, but an inadequate diet is suspected of lowering resistance generally.
41. The paragraph that precedes this passage most probably deals with ________.
A. minor diseases other than colds
B. The recommended treatment of colds
C. a factor that affects susceptibility to colds
D. methods of preventing colds among elderly people
42. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “particulars”?

A. a third of the colds that the families with higher income do.
B. fewer colds than the families with higher income.
C. as many colds as the families with higher income.
D. more colds than the families with higher income.
44. What does the author claim about the study discussed in the passage?
A. It contains many inconsistencies
B. It specializes in children
C. It contradicts the results of earlier studies in the field
D. Its result apparently are relevant for the population as a whole.
45. It may be inferred from the passage that which of the following groups of people is most likely to catch colds?
A. infant boys B. young girls C. teenage boys D. elderly women
46. There is information in the second paragraph of the passage to support which of the following conclusions?
A. Men are more susceptible to colds than women

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
Most human diets contain between 10 and 15 percent of their total calories as protein. The rest of the dietary energy conies from carbohydrates, fats, and in some people, alcohol. The proportion of calories from fats varies from 10 percent in poor communities to 40 percent or more in rich communities.
In addition to providing energy, fats have several other functions in the body. The fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K, are dissolved in fats, as their name implies. Good sources of these vitamins have high oil or fat content, and the vitamins are stored in the body’s fatty tissues. In the diet, fats cause food to remain longer in the stomach, thus increasing the feeling of fullness for some time after a meal is eaten. Fats add variety, taste, and texture to foods, which accounts for the popularity of fried foods. Fatty deposits in the body have an insulating and protective value. The curves of the human female body are due mostly to strategically located fat deposits.
Whether a certain amount of fat in the diet is essential to human health is not definitely known. When rats are fed a fat-free diet, their growth eventually ceases, their skin becomes inflamed and scaly, and their reproductive systems are damaged. Two fatty acids, linoleic and arachidonic acids, prevent these abnormalities and hence are called eseential fatty acids. They also are required by a number of other animals, but their roles in human beings are debatable. Most nutritionists consider linoleic fatty acid an essential nutrient for humans.
51. This passage probably appeared in which of the following?
A. diet book B. A book on basic nutrition
C. A cookbook D. A popular women’s magazine

A. forms B. needs C. jobs D. sources

Trăm ngàn con sóng đó
Con nào chẳng tới bờ
Dù muôn vời cách trở”.
