Atlantic ocean this year. Professor Juliann Ross of the National Meteorological Center has
been predicting the number and intensity of hurricane season storms for a dozen years.

Questions 70-73 refer to the following passage.
Crisis in the Soybean Market
Soybeans, once largely unknown in western societies have become an important food
staple around the world over the last twenty years. But now the world? soybean supplies
are dwindling as skyrocketing demand makes it difficult for grower nations to keep pace.
Many market analysts predict an acute soybean shortage in the near future. Prices for
soybeans hit an 8 year high on the commodities markets last week, almost immediately
after a report suggesting an imminent shortage was published in an influential trade
magazine.
12. The report, published in the latest issue of AgroEconomics, suggest the shortage can be
attributed to two related factors. First, Brazil , the second largest producer of soybeans
after the United States , has been crippled by port strikes that have halted all shipments
to other countries. Second, the strike in Brazil has created an increase in foreign and
domestic demand for U.S. soybeans that has depleted U.S. stockpiles. At last report only
120 million bushels were left in U.S. reserves, less than a two week supply.
The shortage has become so acute that some U.S. food companies have had to reduce
their production processes. Some are said to be considering closing their operations and
laying off their employees until the situation improves.
70. According to the article, what is true of soybeans?
(A) They are not very popular in the West.
(B) The cost to produce them is decreasing.
(C) They are an important worldwide food source.
(D) Grower nations have an excess supply of them.
71. What is a factor affecting the world supply of soybeans?
(A) Poor crops
(B) Better seeds
(C) Striking workers
(D) Decreased foreign demand
72. How much longer is the-United States soybean supply expected to last?
(A) 1 week ....................................(B) 2 weeks
(C) 2 months ..................................(D) at least 6 months
73. What have some U.S. food processing companies had to do?
(A) Close down ....................................(B) Raise prices
(C) Reduce production...........................(D) Order soybeans elsewhere
Questions 74-77 refer to the following passage.
New Thoughts on Drinking Habits
Just how important is water to a person's well-being? According to many nutritionists
and health experts, drinking plenty of water is perhaps the most important thing a
person can do to maintain optimal physical condition. They say that even if someone is
13. inactive, drinking eight large glasses (2 liters) of water a day is essential to prevent
dehydration. A more active person will require even more.
Health and sports experts claim a person can easily sweat off 3 liters of fluid per hour
when exercising in hot, muggy weather. Without adequate replacement, dehydration can
adversely affect the body's functioning. For example, without proper hydration the blood
volume will decrease, forcing the heart to work harder to circulate nutrients. Less water
means less glucose goes to working muscles, and less lactic acid is carried away. There
is also less water to sweat off, and because sweating is how a body cools itself a
dehydrated person will be hotter.
Sports doctors used to warn people that drinking anything before or during physical
exertion would cause cramps. Now that notion is dismissed as a myth. Drinking as much
as possible before, during and after a workout, especially in the summer, is the current
recommendation. Water is the number one doctor-recommended beverage for summer
hydration. Many sports doctors firmly believe that sports drinks are only useful for those
under extreme athletic stress, such as professional athletes training for an event. Coffee
and alcohol should be avoided because they will actually cause dehydration rather than
quench thirst.
74. What do health experts recommend?
(A) Drinking only filtered water
(B) Drinking at least 8 glasses of water per day
(C) Drinking water that is room temperature, rather than chilled
(D) Drinking a glass of water right after waking up, and immediately before going to bed
75. What do doctors no longer believe?
(A) That it is possible to drink too much water.
(B) That drinking water before exercise causes cramps.
(C) That dehydration can be cured simply by drinking water.
(D) That drinking large amounts of water before, during and after an exercise causes
good health.
76. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a consequence of dehydration?
(A) Decreased blood volume
(B) Decreased lactic acid removal
(C) An increase in body temperature
(D) Excessive salt loss from the body
14. 77. What do experts say about sports drinks?
(A) They do not enhance performance.
(B) They are not necessary for ordinary people.
(C) They should be used only after a workout session.
(D) They replace essential nutrients lost during exercise.
Questions 78-81 refer to the following letter.
To: All employees
From: Janet Moore, Assistant Director Subject: Employee parking
A number of complaints have been received from the local residents concerning
employee parking on the streets surrounding our building. Residents are complaining
that they are unable to find parking spaces near their homes because of our employees.
One particular resident has threatened to let the air out of the tires of any car he finds
parked in front of his house.
In the interest of maintaining good relations with our neighbors, and to protect your
property, we are requesting all employees who drive to work to park their vehicles in the
designated parking areas behind the building.
Obviously, there are not enough spaces for everyone, which is why many of you are
parking on the surrounding streets. We therefore strongly encourage you to carpool or
use public transportation.
We have approached the city government and asked for discount subway and bus
passes, but they have not yet responded. Should they agree to sell us discount passes,
we would sell them to employees for half of what we paid for them. Our hope is that this
would encourage employees to make use of public transportation.

(A) The company's employees are taking up area parking spaces.
(B) Employees are disregarding traffic signs in the neighborhood.
(C) Employees are driving through the neighborhood at dangerous speeds.
