Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage

Passage 1

How much do you know about nutrition? If your knowledge is similar to that of food shoppers who answered three surveys for the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, then you probably share some wide-spread misinformation about nutrition. Check your answers to the following statements. Is it true or false?

Statement 1: Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned or frozen vegetables. False. The nutritional difference depends more on how vegetables are handled or prepared than in whether they are bought fresh or packaged. Overcooking, for example, destroys many nutrients. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a significant amount of vitamins.

Statement 2: When dieting, avoid starchy (淀粉類) foods, such as bread or potatoes. False. If you cut out starchy foods, such as peas, potatoes, bread, and rice, you cut out very good sources of several B vitamins,

Vitamin C, and other nutrients. Moreover, ounce for ounce, bread and potatoes have fewer calories than sirloin steak and roast beef.

Statement 3: Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances won’t give you more energy. True. It’s widely believed that extra vitamins provide more energy. But taking more than the body needs doesn’t make it function better, just as overfilling your gas tank doesn’t make your car run faster.

If you answered these questions correctly, you can for the time being consider yourself well informed about food and nutrition by today’s standards. But remember that nutrition is a complex and growing science and that today’s beliefs may be changed as new information becomes available.

A. are well informed about nutrition

Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage

Passage 2

The Queen has only given one interview while a sovereign (君主). Her true personality remains elusive to the public. However, one thing is clear: Queen Elizabeth is an introvert. Introverts prefer quiet environments and feel energized from spending time alone or with people they know well. They aren’t necessarily shy, but they do tend to be more reserved and guarded with strangers. Fellow introverts will appreciate how draining an average day for Her Majesty must be.

Fortunately, the Queen has some tricks to make public engagements easier. Just like us commoners rely on friends to save us from awkward situations or boring conversations, she subtly signals to her staff when she wants an intervention. If she places her handbag on the table, it indicates that she wants the event to end in the next five minutes. For more urgent situations, putting her bag on the floor shows that she wants her lady-in-waiting to rescue her immediately.

Most comfortable in the countryside, the Queen has a well-known passion for horses and dogs. There is a scene in the hit Netflix show The Crown which reveals a fascinating side of the monarch. While giving Jackie Kennedy a personal tour of Buckingham Palace, the two women find themselves bonding over their respective positions as introverted women who have found themselves in the limelight. Surrounded by the Queen’s beloved corgis, both women admit they are the happiest around animals and that their extroverted sisters would have been much better suited to their public roles.

16. The underlined word “draining” (paragraph 1) is the closest in meaning to “_________”.

A. frustrating

B. exhausting

C. demanding

D. aspiring

17. To be rescued immediately in a public engagement, the Queen would _________.

A. end the event within five minutes

B. place her handbag on the table

C. wave to her lady-in-waiting

D. put her bag on the floor

18. In the last paragraph, the underlined expression “the two women find themselves bonding over their respective positions” means that the two ladies _________.

A. admire each other

B. help each other in public

C. grow closer to each other

D. show respect for each other

19. Queen Elizabeth and Jackie Kennedy share the following traits or facts EXCEPT that _________.

A. both have sisters

B. both love animals

C. both enjoy being in public

D. both are introverted women

20. The author’s attitude can be described as _________.
