COCOA MIGHT PREVENT MEMORY DECLINE
Drinking cocoa every day may help older people keep their brains healthy, research suggests. A study of 60 elderly people with no dementia found two cups of cocoa a day ___________ (36) blood flow to the brain in those who had problems to start with. Those participants whose blood flow improved also did better on memory tests at the end of the study, the journal Neurology reported. Experts said more research was needed before conclusions could be _____________ (37). It is not the first time cocoa has been linked with vascular health and researchers believe that this is in part __________ (38) its being rich in flavanols, which are thought to have an important role. In the latest study, researchers asked 60 people with an average age of 73 to drink two cups of cocoa a day - one group given high-flavanol cocoa and another a low-flavanol cocoa - and consume no other chocolate.
Ultrasound tests at the start of the study showed 17 of them had impaired blood flow to the brain. There was no difference between _________ (39) who drank flavanol-rich cocoa and those who had flavanol-poor cocoa. But whichever drink they were given, 88% of those with impaired blood flow at the start of the study saw improvements in blood flow and some _________ (40) tests, compared with 37% of people whose blood flow was normal at the beginning of the study. MRI scans in 24 participants found that people with impaired blood flow were also more likely to have tiny areas of brain ____________ (41). The researchers said the lack of difference between the flavanol-rich and flavanol-poor cocoa could be because another component of the drink was having an __________ (42) or because only small __________ (43) were needed. Dr Simon Ridley, head of research at Alzheimer's Research UK, said this was a small study but that it added to a wealth __________ (44) evidence. "A cocoa-based treatment would likely be very popular, but it's too soon to draw any conclusions about its effects. One drawback of this study is the lack of a control group for comparison, and we can't tell whether the results would have been different if the participants drank no cocoa at all.". But he added: "Poor vascular health is a known risk factor for dementia, and understanding more about the links between vascular problems and declining brain health could help the search for new treatments and _______ (45)."

Read the following passage on commuting and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

As Philadelphia grew from a small town into a city in the first half of the eighteenth century, it became an increasingly important marketing center for a vast and growing agricultural hinterland. Market days saw the crowded city even more crowded, as farmers from within a radius of 24 or more kilometers brought their sheep, cows, pigs, vegetables, cider, and other products for direct sale to the townspeople. The High Street Market was continuously enlarged throughout the period until 1736, when it reached from Front street to Third. By 1745 New Market was opened on Second Street between Pine and Cedar. The next year the Callowhill Market began operation. Along with market days, the institution of twice-yearly fairs persisted in Philadelphia even after similar trading days had been discontinued in other colonial cities. The fairs provided a means of bringing handmade goods from outlying places to would-be buyers in the city. Linens and stockings from Germantown, for example, were popular items.


Auctions were another popular form of occasional trade. Because of the competition, retail merchants opposed these as well as the fairs. Although governmental attempts to eradicate fairs and auctions were less than successful, the ordinary course of economic development was on the merchants' side, as increasing business specialization became the order of the day. Export merchants became differentiated from their importing counterparts, and specialty shops began to appear in addition to general stores selling a variety of goods.
One of the reasons Philadelphia's merchants generally prospered was because the surrounding area was undergoing tremendous economic and demographic growth. They did their business, after all, in the capital city of the province. Not only did they cater to the governor and his circle, but citizens from all over the colony came to the capital for legislative sessions of the assembly and council and meetings of the courts of justice.

Read the following passage on commuting and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Nineteenth-century writers in the United States, whether they wrote novels, short stories, poems, or plays, were powerfully drawn to the railroad in its golden year. In fact, writers responded to the railroads as soon as the first were built in the 1830's. By the 1850's, the railroad was a major presence in the life of the nation. Writers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau saw the railroad both as a boon to democracy and as an object of suspicion. The railroad could be and was a despoiler of nature; furthermore, in its manifestation of speed and noise, it might be a despoiler of human nature as well. By the 1850's and 1860's, there was a great distrust among writer and intellectuals of the rapid industrialization of which the railroad was a leading force. Deeply philosophical historians such as Henry Adams lamented the role that the new frenzy for business was playing in eroding traditional values. A distrust of industry and business continued among writers throughout the rest of the nineteenth century and into the twentieth.
For the most part, the literature in which the railroad plays an important role belong to popular culture rather than to the realm of serious art. One thinks of melodramas, boys' books, thrillers, romances, and the like rather than novels of the first rank. In the railroads' prime years, between 1890 and 1920, there were a few individuals in the United States, most of them with solid railroading experience behind them, who made a profession of writing about railroading-works offering the ambience of stations, yards, and locomotive cabs. These writers, who can genuinely be said to have created a genre, the "railroad novel." are now mostly forgotten, their names having faded from memory. But anyone who takes the time to consult their fertile writings will still find a treasure trove of information about the place of the railroad in the lift of the United States.
Question 56: With which of the following topics is the passage mainly concerned?

A. The role of the railroad in the economy of the United States.

B. Major nineteenth-century writers.

C. The conflict between expanding industry and preserving nature.

D. The railroad as a subject for literature.

Question 57: The word "it" refers to ___________.

A. manifestation B. nature C. railroad D. speed

Question 58: In the first paragraph, the author implies that writers' reactions to the development of railroads were ___________.

A. unchanging B. both positive and negative

C. highly enthusiastic D. disinterested

Question 59: The word "lamented" is closest in meaning to ____________.

A. analyzed B. complained about C. explained D. reflected on

Question 60: According to the passage, the railroad played a significant role in literature in all of the following kinds of books EXCEPT ___________.
