III: Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question from

Carbohydrates,
which are sugars, are an essential
part of a healthy diet. They provide the main source of energy for the body,
and they also function to flavor and sweeten foods. Carbohydrates range
from simple sugars like glucose to complex sugars such as amylose and
amylopectin. Nutritionists estimate that carbohydrates should make up about one-fourth to 5 one-fifth
of a person’s diet. This translates to about 75-100 grams of carbohydrates per
day.
A diet that is deficient in
carbohydrates can have an adverse effect 10 on a person’s health. When the body lacks a sufficient amount
of carbohydrates it must then use its protein supplies for energy, a process
called gluconeogenesis. This, however, results in a lack
of necessary protein, and further health difficulties may occur. A lack of
carbohydrates can also lead to ketosis,
a build-up of ketones 15 in the body that causes fatigue, lethargy, and bad
breath.

A. probe B.
proceed C. hail D. extend
4. In line 4, the word “estimate” could best be replaced by
A. disbelieve B. declare C.
calculate D. wonder
5. According to the passage,
what do most nutritionists suggest?
A. Sufficient carbohydrates will prevent
gluconeogenesis.
B. Carbohydrates are simple sugars called
glucose.
C. Carbohydrates should make up about a
quarter of a person’s daily diet.
D. Carbohydrates should be eaten in very
small quantities.
6. Which of the following do
carbohydrates NOT do?
A. prevent ketosis B. cause gluconeogenesis
C. provide energy for the body D. flavor and sweeten food
7. Which of the following

as used in line 6?
A. outstanding B. Abundant C.
Insufficient D. unequal
8. What does the word “this” refer to in line 8?

protein
9. According to the passage,
