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 from 36 to 45
Carnegie Hall, the famous concert hall in New York City, has again undergone a restoration. While this is
not the first, it is certainly the most extensive in the building’s history. As a result of this new restoration,
Carnegie Hall once again has the quality of sound 5 that it had when it was first built.
Carnegie Hall owes its existence to Andrew Carnegie, the wealthy owner of a steel company in the late
1800s. The hall was finished in 1891 and quickly gained a reputation as an excellent performing arts hall
10 where accomplished musicians gained fame. Despite its reputation, however, the concert hall suffered
from several detrimental renovations over the years. During the Great Depression, when fewer people
could afford to attend performances, the directors sold part of the building to commercial businesses. As a
result, a coffee shop was opened 15 in one corner of the building, for which the builders replaced the brick
and terra cotta walls with windowpanes. A renovation in 1946 seriously damaged the acoustical quality of
the hall when the makers of the film Carnegie Hall cut a gaping hole in the dome of the ceiling to allow
for lights and air vents. The hole was later 20 covered with short curtains and a fake ceiling, but the hall
never sounded the same afterwards.
In 1960, the violinist Isaac Stern became involved in restoring the hall after a group of real estate
developers unveiled plans to demolish 25 Carnegie Hall and build a high-rise office building on the site.
This threat spurred Stern to rally public support for Carnegie Hall and encourage the City of New York to
buy the property. The movement was successful, and the concert hall is now owned by the city. In the
current restoration, builders tested each new material for its 30 sound qualities, and they replaced the hole
in the ceiling with a dome. The builders also restored the outer walls to their original appearance and
closed the coffee shop. Carnegie has never sounded better, and its prospects for the future have never
looked more promising.
36. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. changes to Carnegie Hall
B. the appearance of Carnegie Hall
C. Carnegie Hall’s history during the Great Depression
D. damage to the ceiling in Carnegie Hall
37. The word “extensive” in line 3 could be best replaced by which of the following?
A. Fabulous.
B. Thorough.
C. Devoted.
D. Continuous.
38. What major change happened to the hall in 1946?
A. The acoustic dome was damaged.
B. Space in the building was sold to commercial businesses.

correct answer to each of the questions from 66 to 75
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 disease. One egg yolk, in fact,
contain a little more than two- thirds of 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 eggs substitutes are not really eggs,
but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have advantage of having lower
cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking. One advantage, however, is that they are
not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of eggs,
sometimes called "designer" eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of
ingredients such as canola oil, flaw, 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 relationships between eggs and human cholesterol levels have
brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of eggs 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 is 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.
66. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To inform people about the relation between eggs and cholesterol.
B. To convince people to eat "designer" eggs and egg substitutes.
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten.
D. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increase the blood cholesterol level.
