Questions 96 – 105 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each) Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question The history of clinical nutrition, or the study of the relationship between health and how the body takes in and utilizes food substances, can be divided into four distinct eras: the first began in the nineteenth century and extended into the early twentieth century when it was recognized for the first time that food contained constituents that were essential for human function and that different foods provided different amounts of these essential agents. Near the end of this era, research studies demonstrated that rapid weight loss was associated with nitrogen imbalance and could only be rectified by providing adequate dietary protein associated with certain foods. The second era was initiated in the early decades of the twentieth century and might be called "the vitamin period. "Vitamins came to be recognized in foods, and deficiency syndromes were described. As vitamins became recognized as essential food constituents necessary for health, it became tempting to suggest that every disease and condition for which there had been no previous effective treatment might be responsive to vitamin therapy. At that point in time, medical schools started to become more interested in having their curricula integrate nutritional concepts into the basic sciences. Much of the focus of this education was on the recognition of deficiency symptoms. Herein lay the beginning of what ultimately turned from ignorance to denial of the value of nutritional therapies in medicine. Reckless claims were made for effects of vitamins that went far beyond what could actually be achieved from the use of them. In the third era of nutritional history in the early 1950's to mid-1960's, vitamin therapy began to fall into disrepute. Concomitant with this, nutrition education in medical schools also became less popular. It was just a decade before this that many drug companies had found their vitamin sales skyrocketing and were quick to supply practicing physicians with generous samples of vitamins and literature extolling the virtue of supplementation for a variety of health-related conditions. Expectations as to the success of vitamins in disease control were exaggerated. As is known in retrospect, vitamin and mineral therapies are much less effective when applied to health-crisis 5
6. conditions than when applied to long-term problems of under nutrition that lead to chronic health problems. 96. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The stages of development of clinical nutrition as a field of study B. The history of food preferences from the nineteenth century to the present C. The effects of vitamins on the human body D. Nutritional practices of the nineteenth century 97. It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following discoveries was made during the first era in the history of nutrition? A. Certain foods were found to be harmful to good health. B. Vitamins were synthesized from foods. C. Effective techniques of weight loss were determined. D. Protein was recognized as an essential component of diet. 98. The word "tempting" is closest in meaning to ________. A. realistic B. necessary C. correct D. attractive 99. It can be inferred from the passage that medical schools began to teach concepts of nutrition in order to ________. A. encourage medical doctors to apply concepts of nutrition in the treatment of disease B. support the creation of artificial vitamins C. convince doctors to conduct experimental vitamin therapies on their patients D. convince medical doctors to participate in research studies on nutrition 100. The word "Reckless" is closest in meaning to________. A. recorded B. irresponsible C. informative D. urgent 101. The word "them" refers to A. effects B. vitamins C. claims D. therapies 102. Why did vitamin therapy begin losing favor in the 1950's? A. Medical schools stopped teaching nutritional concepts B. Nutritional research was of poor quality C. The public lost interest in vitamins D. Claims for the effectiveness of vitamin therapy were seen to be exaggerated. 103. The phrase "concomitant with" is closest in meaning to ________. A. in dispute with B. prior toC. in conjunction withD. in regard to 104. The word "skyrocketing" is closest in meaning to ________. A. internationally popularB. increasing rapidly C. surprisingD. acceptable 105. The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses ________. A. Why nutrition education lost its appealB. Problems associated with under nutrition C. The fourth era of nutrition historyD. How drug companies became successful Part 3: Questions 106 – 115. (2.0 points- 0.2/ each) Read the text below to decide if each statement is TRUE or FALSE. We’ve all seen pictures of dogs doing amazing things - but what would you think if you saw one surfing? Ever since a video of a dog on a skateboard appeared on a social networking site, dogs have become involved in more and more unusual sports. The latest is dog surfing, with dogs taking part in major competitions along with their owners. In one recent competition, as many as 60 dogs, ranging in size from very big to extremely small, flew in to a seaside resort in the USA and hit the beach, going out on a stormy day to ride the waves on human-sized surfboards. The dogs wore special life jackets so that they’d be safe if they fell 6
7. in, and were placed on surfboards on shallow waves. They had ten minutes to show what they could do, and were judged not only on the length of their ride but also their confidence and overall ability. One dog, Mandy has always loved surfing right from the start. She and her owner Jeff surf together almost every day after Jeff finishes work. ‘There’s nothing I've trained her to do,’ says Jeff. ‘She's just a natural. If I pick big waves for her, she just rides them’ When the pair are in the sea, Jeff holds Mandy’s board until the perfect wave arrives and then he lets her go. 'She’s learned to make the board go where she wants, and she won’t go unless it's a good wave - she’ll just wait. Her biggest wave so far has been about 2 metres high, and her longest ride about 100 metres’ Many dogs hop off the board once they reach shallow water, but Mandy’s got style - she always waits till her board's near the beach and then turns herself round on it a couple of times. One of Mandy’s surfing buddies, Ben, is also a star performer. ‘There’s no way I could make him do it if he didn't want to,’ says his owner Julie. ‘You just can’t stop him. If he falls into the water, we pull him out again, and he just shakes himself then runs back in!’ Mandy has also become a film star. When a visiting film crew saw Mandy perform in a surfing contest, they knew she was exactly right for a role in their new film. Several of the other dogs surfing along with Mandy have also got parts as extras in the film, which with the help of computers shows them surfing really enormous waves - although they’d be in trouble if they tried them in real life!
