heart attack; a 32 blood vessel on the way to the brain could cause a stroke.
Some say that cholesterol-rich foods such as eggs and shellfish should be 33 from the diet, but these
foods don’t significantly raise cholesterol levels. The cholesterol in them is broken down quite efficiently and

Reading 1
Historians can trace the foundations of plastic surgery as far back as about 2600 years ago in ancient India
where facial surgeries were carried out. The techniques were recorded in the early Hindu texts and were used
primarily on soldiers injured during conflict.
The birth of cosmetic reconstructive surgery truly occurred many hundreds of years later and over the past
ten years plastic surgery has become very popular with more and more people refusing to grow old gracefully.

However, it is not limited to young women considering the fact that eating disorders are on the rise among young
men; men and women alike are interested in cosmetic surgery and it even gains popularity in mainstream culture.
It seems that people are no longer judged on their abilities alone but on their appearance and more and more
people are choosing to go under the knife in an effort to shape themselves into an objective and arbitrary ideal
beauty.
The image of beauty portrayed by the media is usually related to the adjectives, young, very slim, and most
often white. Having a body weight of 15% below normal for one’s height, age and weight is considered ideal. In
other words, people should be anorexic to meet the media’s image of beauty. The message is that only their
imposed image of beauty is acceptable and those who are larger, shorter, thicker, or browner are not. This ideal
image and weight, however, is unattainable for 99% of women. Ironically, most images of models appearing in
magazines have been airbrushed to perfection to attain that “perfect” image of beauty.
Sadly, for many people, the quest for beauty has turned into an all-out obsession. Unsurprisingly, the
newfound obsession is a convenient marketing tool because 99% of the female population is not satisfied with
their appearance and therefore will be more likely to buy slimming products, cosmetics or turn to plastic surgery.
The dieting industry makes an incredible $33 billion a year. The industry uses media to keep people thinking that
they should maintain the slender or even skinny shape. This image of beauty is simply unattainable and the desire
for it will never be met, so the demand for the industry will never decrease. And the very industries that profit
from fueling inadequacy, a feeling of not being good enough, will continue to prosper.
41. The reference to “early Hindu texts” mainly serves to _____.
(A) imply that ancient India opposed medical innovation
(B) suggest that religion was the only reason surgery developed
(C) provide historical documentation for early surgical techniques
(D) argue that modern surgery is identical to ancient practices
42. The author’s discussion of eating disorders among young men is primarily used to _____.
(A) argue that plastic surgery is the main cause of eating disorders
(B) suggest that eating disorders are unrelated to media influence
(C) claim that men suffer more than women from beauty standards
(D) challenge the assumption that cosmetic concerns are limited to women
43. The statement “people are judged on their abilities alone” is presented to emphasize that _____.
(A) ability-based judgement is increasing due to education
(B) appearance and ability have always been equally important
(C) evaluation has shifted toward appearance-based standards
(D) abilities are no longer valued in any context
44. The claim that “15% below normal… is considered ideal” is used to highlight the author’s view that
media standards _____.
(A) are mainly aimed at professional athletes
(B) have no effect on public behavior
(C) are medically recommended for longevity
(D) can encourage unhealthy extremes
45. The passage suggests the dieting industry’s profits persist largely because _____.
(A) most people meet the ideal quickly and then buy new products for fun
(B) government programs guarantee consumer spending on dieting
(C) the ideal is unattainable, so consumers keep purchasing solutions
(D) the industry depends mainly on medical emergencies for income
Reading 2
In a woman’s life, one of the most important periods is called menopause. As a woman ages, her ovaries
don’t make enough of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone, affecting her feelings about herself and
other aspects of her life. Contrary to the previous misconceptions about menopause, today it is known that
menopause is just a natural step in the process of aging. The word comes from the Greek mens, meaning monthly,
and pausis, meaning cessation. When a woman’s ovaries do not produce adequate levels of the hormones estrogen
and progesterone, she is not able to become pregnant, but it is not a medical problem or illness. The average age
for menopause is about 50, but it can happen any time after 40.
About ten years before menopause, many women experience a series of symptoms called pre-menopause
symptoms. Pre-menopause shows the first signs of menopausal transition. It can begin as early as the mid-thirties
and last till the forties. During the period, women usually experience sudden weight gain, fatigue, depression,
migraine headaches, very heavy or light periods, etc. These symptoms are part of pre-menopause, caused by
hormone imbalances, that is, an excess of the hormone estrogen and a deficiency of the hormone progesterone.
If a woman does not have menstrual periods for 12 months without any obvious pathological or physiological
cause, she is in menopause. There are also a variety of menopause symptoms, from few to moderate or severe
symptoms depending on each individual such as weight gain, hot flashes, insomnia, fatigue, mood swings, and
vaginal dryness. Research has shown that women’s experience of menopause varies depending on such factors
as genetics, diet, lifestyle and social and cultural attitudes toward women.
46. In context, the phrase “affecting her feelings about herself and other aspects of her life” most strongly
suggests that the hormonal change is presented as _____.
(A) narrowly biological and unrelated to wellbeing
(B) affecting only mood and nothing else
(C) multidimensional, extending beyond physiology to self-perception and daily functioning
(D) evidence that menopause is primarily psychological in origin
47. Which inference is most supported by the sentence “she is not able to become pregnant, but it is not a
medical problem or illness”?
(A) Infertility is never distressing to women.
(B) Menopause should be treated only with medication.
(C) A major functional change can be non-pathological.
(D) Pregnancy after 40 is medically impossible.
48. In the second paragraph, “pre-menopause shows the first signs of menopausal transition” is best
interpreted to mean that pre-menopause _____.
(A) is identical to menopause and begins once periods stop
(B) is an early phase within a broader transition toward menopause
(C) is defined solely by weight gain and migraines
(D) begins only in the forties and ends at age fifty
49. The phrase “without any obvious pathological or physiological cause” is most likely intended to ____.
(A) imply that menopause is purely psychological
(B) rule out alternative explanations for amenorrhea before defining menopause
(C) suggest that diagnostic criteria are unnecessary
(D) indicate that symptoms must be severe to confirm menopause
50. Which statement best captures the passage’s overall rhetorical purpose?
(A) To persuade readers that menopause is overrated and should be ignored
(B) To argue that menopause is primarily a modern social construction
(C) To clarify definitions and criteria while normalizing variation in experience
(D) To warn readers that menopause typically leads to severe long-term illness
