Some people believe that meat consumption (22) .............. to famine and depletes the Earth's natural resources. Indeed, it is often argued that cows and sheep require pasturage that could be better used to grow grain for starving millions in poor countries. Additionally, claims are made that raising livestock requires more water than raising plant foods. But both these arguments are illogical. As for the pasturage argument, this ignores (23) .............. a large portion of the Earth's dry land is unsuited to cultivation. For instance, desert and mountainous areas are not suitable for cultivation, but are suitable for animal grazing. (24) .............., modern commercial farming methods prefer to raise animals in an enclosed space feeding them on grains and soybeans. Unfortunately, the bulk of commercial livestock is not range-fed but stall-fed. Stall-fed animals do not ingest grasses and shrubs (like they should), but are fed an unnatural array of grains and soybeans - which could be eaten by humans. The argument here, then, is not that eating meat depletes the Earth's resources, but that commercial farming methods do. Such methods subject livestock to deplorable living conditions (25) .............. infections, antibiotics, and synthetic hormones are common. These all lead to unhealthy animals and, by extension, to an unhealthy food (26) ...............

The ability of the cat to survive falls from high places that would kill humans or other animals is not due to multiple lives, but to several advantages they possess. Their small size and low body weight soften the impact as they make contact with the ground. The highly developed inner ears of cats equip them with a keen sense of balance, which is critical to their landing on their feet. Since cats land on all four paws, the impact from landing on the ground is absorbed by all four. Additionally, cats bend their legs when they land, which cushions the impact by spreading the impact. A cat stands a greater chance of survival if it falls from a higher place than from a lower place. Laws of physics explain why the survival rates vary. All falling bodies, regardless of their masses, accelerate by

People who are into body building have one goal in mind – to become the biggest, most muscular people in the world. To accomplish this, they will do almost anything to gain muscle. For most, this means hours of grind and toil at the gym. Given time and effort, these dedicated individuals become champions who gain the respect and envy of an admiring world. Unfortunately, there are those who want instant results and are willing to do anything to shortcut the time-honoured process. Many people are tempted to use steroids, because they promise quick muscle gain. While taking large doses of these magical potions, you can actually see your gains come almost daily – and this is how you get hooked. After a few weeks of incredible gain, you now try to give up steroids, but soon start to see your muscle gain fade away. After a few weeks, you go back to the bottle to regain your beloved muscle mass. This is the first sign that the steroids are affecting your mind. They tell you that you can’t be without them, and that if you take more you can get even bigger. As doses increase, you become a different person, both physically and mentally. You probably won’t even notice that you are going through what has been called the ‘roid rage’ since you will be too occupied with building up mass. But others will see, even experience, your personality changes. Roid rages were previously thought to be an outward sign of the extreme joy associated with dynamic muscle growth. It now seems that heavy use of these steroids can seriously affect mood and personality.

Napoleon Bonaparte is credited with ending the French Revolution and, with the establishment of a stable government, bringing security and equality to France. He introduced a system of meritocracy to replace the older system that privileged inheritance and status. Napoleon also introduced the Napoleonic Code to the world. He based it off of Justinian's Code, or Roman law. The Napoleonic Code separated civil law into personal status, property and the acquisition of property, ensuring that every French citizen would have an equal chance to gain wealth and status. The Code was massively influential and became the basis for most European countries' governments. During his reign of power, Napoleon created the Bank of France to support France's faltering economy and provide his military campaigns with financial support. He used his personal wealth to back the money. He also later signed the Concordat with the Pope, recognizing Catholicism as the state religion, but also providing religious freedom to French citizens.
4. It is explained in the passage that Napoleon also _____.
A) did not recognize the role of others in his victories
B) made an agreement to give freedom on religious beliefs
C) tried to attract people's affection and support
D) exalted for Peace, prosperity and an administration
E) was good at consulting his subordinates
The causes of World War II were rooted in the peace
settlement at Versailles in 1919-1920. The peace had
created as many problems as it had solved. The
senior Allied heads of state yielded to demands that
involved annexing German territory and creating new
states out of the eastern European empires. In doing
so, the peacemakers created fresh bitterness and
conflict. The Versailles treaty and its champions,
such as US President Woodrow Wilson, proclaimed
the principle of self-determination for the peoples of
eastern and southern Europe. Yet the new states
created by the treaty crossed ethnic boundaries,
involved political compromises, and frustrated many
of the expectations they had raised. The unsteady
new boundaries would be redrawn by force in the
1930s. The Allied powers also kept up the naval
blockade against Germany after the end of World
War I. This forced the new German government to
accept harsh terms that deprived Germany of its
political power in Europe. The blockade and its
consequences created grievances that made the
German people feel angry and completely humiliated.
As pointed out in the passage, the new states in
eastern Europe, created in accordance with the
Versailles treaty, ----.
A) became the source of many problems in Europe
and caused much disillusionment
B) were protected by the Allied powers against a
possible German invasion
C) formed an alliance in order to resist Germany’s
territorial demands
D) maintained their independence until the start of
World War II
E) did their best to be on good terms with Germany
and so pursued a pro-German policy

Calcium is an important component of a healthy diet. A deficit can affect bone and tooth formation, while over retention can cause kidney stones. Vitamin D is needed to absorb calcium. Dairy products, such as milk and cheese, are a well-known source of calcium. However, some individuals are allergic to dairy products and even more people, particularly those of non-European descent, are lactose-intolerant, leaving them unable to consume dairy products. Fortunately, many other good sources of calcium exist. These include: seaweeds, nuts and seeds. Calcium is essential for the normal growth and maintenance of bones and teeth, and calcium requirements must be met throughout life. Requirements are greatest during periods of growth, such as childhood, during pregnancy and when breast-feeding. Long-term calcium deficiency can lead to osteoporosis, in which the bone deteriorates and there is an increased risk of fractures. Adults need between 1,000 and 1,300 mg of calcium in their daily diet.
The main idea of the passage is to inform the reader about the ................
A) calcium deficiency
B) sources of calcium
C) causes of bone fractures
D) allergies caused by dairy products
E) importance of calcium for the human body

By 2020, total meat consumption in developing countries is predicted to have more than doubled. Yet livestock, especially in wealthy countries, already munches its way through 36 per cent of the world's grain harvest. All that grain exacts a heavy environmental cost, because the increased demand pulls farmers towards growing maize and soybean and away from pasture and fodder crops such as alfalfa that do so much for soil health. And grain-fed animals tend to be housed in huge feedlots, where crowding causes disease and veterinary surgeons use more antibiotics, and where vast mountains of manure pollute the surroundings. Consumers could reverse many of these problems by demanding meat from grass-fed livestock, or simply by eating less meat. And as an added bonus for overfed Westerners, the meat from grass-fed cattle is leaner than that from grain-fed animals.
One point made in the passage, relating to grainfed livestock, is that ___ .
A) consumers in the developed world are refusing to buy their meat
B) they tend to be kept in crowded conditions where disease spreads
C) they are environmentally friendly
D) they are of vital importance to ensure that the people of developing countries are to be property fed after 2020
E) farmers are not convinced that they are an economically sound proposition
