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 40 to 49.
Human Nutrition is the study of how food affects the health and survival of the human body.
Human beings require food to grow, reproduce, and maintain good health. Without food, our bodies

could not stay warm, build or repair tissue, or maintain the heartbeat. Eating the right foods can help us
avoid certain diseases or recover faster when illness occurs. These and other important functions are
fueled by chemical substances in our food called nutrients. Nutrients are classified as carbohydrates,
proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water.
When we eat a meal, nutrients are released from food through digestion. Digestion begins in the
mouth by the action of chewing and the chemical activity of saliva, a watery fluid that contains
enzymes, certain proteins that help break down food. Further digestion occurs as food travels through
the stomach and the small intestine, where digestive enzymes and acids liquefy food and muscle
contractions push it along the digestive tract. Nutrients are absorbed from the inside of the small
intestine into the bloodstream and carried to the sites in the body where they are needed. At these sites,
several chemical reactions occur, which ensures the growth and function of body tissues. The parts of
foods that are not absorbed continue to move down the intestinal tract and are eliminated from the body
as feces.
Once digested, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats provide the body with the energy it needs
to maintain its many functions. Scientists measure this energy in kilocalories, the amount of energy
needed to raise one kilogram of water one degree Celsius. In nutrition discussions, scientists use the
term calorie instead of kilocalorie as the standard unit of measure in nutrition.
Nutrients are classified as essential or nonessential. Nonessential nutrients are manufactured in the
body and do not need to be obtained from food. Examples include cholesterol, a fatlike substance
present in all animal cells. Essential nutrients must be obtained from food sources, because the body
either does not produce them or produces them in amounts too small to maintain growth and health.
Essential nutrients include water, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals.
An individual needs varying amounts of each essential nutrient, depending upon such factors as
gender and age. Specific health conditions, such as pregnancy, breast-feeding, illness, or drug use,
make unusual demands on the body and increase its need for nutrients. Dietary guidelines, which take
many of these factors into account, provide general guidance in meeting daily nutritional needs.

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 52 to 61.
Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the
natural environment surrounding their homes. This method of harvesting from nature's provision is the
oldest known subsistence strategy and has been practiced for at least the last two million years. It was,
indeed, the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming and the domestication of wild animals
were introduced about 10,000 years ago.
Because hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their
numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments, such as deserts
and arctic wastelands. In higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted the availability of
plant life. Such conditions have caused a greater dependence on hunting, and on fishing along the
coasts and waterways. The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other
hand, has provided a greater opportunity for gathering a variety of plants. In short, the environmental

differences have restricted the diet and have limited possibilities for the development of subsistence
societies.
Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors. We know from
the observation of modern hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting
and gathering must be very mobile. While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller
party harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp. When the food in the area has
become exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site. We also notice seasonal migration
patterns evolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with a strict division of labor between the sexes.
These patterns of behavior may be similar to those practiced by mankind during the Paleolithic Period.
Question 52: A typical feature of both modern and prehistoric hunter-gatherers is that ____________.
A. they don't have a healthy and balanced diet

B. they live in the forests for all their life

Question 55: According to the passage, subsistence societies depend mainly on ____________.
A. agricultural products

B. nature's provision

C. farming methods

D. hunter-gatherers' tools

Question 56: According to the author, most contemporary and prehistoric hunter-gatherers share
___________.
A. only the way of duty division

B. some restricted daily rules

C. some methods of production

D. some patterns of behavior
