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 diseases. One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has driven 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 the advantage of having low cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in banking. One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling.
A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called "designer" eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low- flat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diet, 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.
Eggs producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results. It may be that 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 certainly dietary fats stimulate the body's production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it 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.

Question

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 diseases. One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has driven 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 the advantage of having low cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in banking. One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling.
A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called "designer" eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low- flat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diet, 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.

Câu 29: Ý chính của đoạn văn là gì?

• Đáp án: B. To make people know about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.

• Giải thích: Toàn bộ bài văn tập trung vào việc giải thích mối liên hệ giữa việc ăn trứng và mức cholesterol trong máu, từ đó dẫn đến việc sụt giảm doanh số và sự ra đời của các loại trứng thay thế.

Câu 30: Nguyên nhân nào dẫn đến sự thay đổi trong việc tiêu thụ trứng?

• Đáp án: D. Concerns about cholesterol.

• Giải thích: Ở đoạn 1 có câu: "This knowledge [about high cholesterol] has driven egg sales to plummet..." (Kiến thức về hàm lượng cholesterol cao đã khiến doanh số bán trứng sụt giảm).

Câu 31: Từ "somewhat" ở đoạn 2 có thể được thay thế bằng từ nào?

• Đáp án: B. a little.

• Giải thích: "Somewhat" có nghĩa là "hơi hơi, một chút, đến một mức độ nào đó". Trong câu "...they look somewhat like eggs", nó có nghĩa là chúng nhìn hơi giống trứng thật.

Câu 32: Từ "they" ở đoạn 2 ám chỉ điều gì?

• Đáp án: B. Substitute eggs.

• Giải thích: Câu gốc: "These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs..." Từ "they" ở đây dùng để thay thế cho danh từ số nhiều "egg substitutes" (trứng thay thế) đã nhắc ở trước đó.

Câu 33: Từ "reduce" ở đoạn 4 có nghĩa TRÁI NGƯỢC với từ nào?

• Đáp án: C. increase.

• Giải thích: "Reduce" nghĩa là cắt giảm, làm ít đi. Trái ngược hoàn toàn với nó là "increase" (tăng lên).

Câu 34: Theo bài đọc, một lòng đỏ trứng chứa khoảng bao nhiêu phần hạn mức cholesterol hàng ngày?

• Đáp án: B. 2/3.

• Giải thích: Đoạn 1 có ghi: "One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit." (Một lòng đỏ trứng chứa nhiều hơn 2/3 hạn mức cholesterol hàng ngày).

Câu 35: Trong đoạn văn nào tác giả đề cập đến ý kiến rằng loại trứng không ảnh hưởng đến mức cholesterol?

• Đáp án: B. Paragraph 3.

• Giải thích: Ở đoạn 3, tác giả nói về "designer eggs" và ghi rằng: "...these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs." (những con gà này tạo ra trứng có cùng lượng cholesterol như trứng thông thường). Điều này cho thấy dù là loại trứng nào thì lượng cholesterol vẫn như vậy.
