It is the highest peak in North America and the center of Denali National Park. One of America’s greatest wilderness areas, the park had limited access to visitors, but in spite of this tourism rose from under 6,000 visitors in 1950 to over 546,000 visitors in 1990. The increasing popularity of this park is prompting serious discussions about the future use of Denali as well as how to preserve wilderness areas in general.One important issue of land use arises when parts of National Parks are owned by individuals. In Denali, though most of the land in this vast track of more than a million acres is owned by the National park Service, several thousand acres are still privately owned as mining tracts. These mining tracts in Denali were once abundant sources of gold, but they were sources of heavy metals such as arsenic and lead that polluted rivers and streams.Environmentalists were successful in getting the government to require mining companies to submit statements showing the potential impact of a mining project before they are allowed to begin mining. Because of this requirement, many individuals closed their mines and some sold their land to the National Park Service. Some land owners, however, are wondering if it is better to sell their land to the government or keep it for possible future use. Tourism in this previously remote area is bound to rise, as more roads are built to provide easier access to the park. This increase in the number of visitors creates a demand for hotels and real estate development. The economic implications of this are of interests to the land owner, but are dismaying to those interested in preserving the wilderness.&nbsp;46. What is the primary focus of this passage?A. controversies over land use in Denali.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; B. miners selling their property in Denali.C.

While many people are fighting the battle to reduce weight, studies are being conducted concerning the appetite and how it is controlled by both emotional and biochemical factors. Some of the conclusions of these studies may give insights into how to deal with weight problems. For example, when several hundred people were asked about their eating habits in times of stress, 44 percent said they reacted to stressful situations by eating. Further investigations with both humans and animals indicated that it is not food which relieves tension but rather the act of chewing.A test in which subjects were blindfolded showed that obese people have a keener sense of taste and crave more flavorful food than nonobese people. When deprived of the variety and intensity of tastes, obese people are not satisfied and consequently eat more to fulfill this need. Blood samples taken from people after they were shown a picture of food revealed that overweight people reacted with an increase in blood insulin, a chemical associated with appetite. This did not happen to average-weight people.In another experiment, results showed that certain people have a specific, biologically induced hunger for carbohydrates. Eating carbohydrates raises the level of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain. Enough serotonin produces a sense of satiation, and hunger for carbohydrates subsidies.Exercise has been recommended as an important part of a weight-loss program. However, it has been found that mild exercise, such as using the stairs instead of the elevator, it better in the long run than taking on a strenuous program, such as jogging, which many people find difficult to continue over long periods of time and which also increase appetite.&nbsp;56.

It is the highest peak in North America and the center of Denali National Park. One of America’s greatest wilderness areas, the park had limited access to visitors, but in spite of this tourism rose from under 6,000 visitors in 1950 to over 546,000 visitors in 1990. The increasing popularity of this park is [B]prompting [/B]serious discussions about the future use of Denali as well as how to preserve wilderness areas in general. One important issue of land use [B]arises[/B] when parts of National Parks are owned by individuals. In Denali, though most of the land in this vast track of more than a million acres is owned by the National park Service, several thousand acres are still privately owned as mining tracts. These mining [B]tracts[/B] in Denali were once abundant sources of gold, but they were sources of heavy metals such as arsenic and lead that polluted rivers and streams. Environmentalists were successful in getting the government to require mining companies to submit statements showing the [B]potential impact[/B] of a mining project before they are allowed to begin mining. Because of this requirement, many individuals closed their mines and some sold their land to the National Park Service. Some land owners, however, are wondering if it is better to sell their land to the government or keep it for possible future use. Tourism in this previously remote area is bound to rise, as more roads are built to provide easier access to the park. This increase in the number of visitors creates a demand for hotels and real estate development. The economic implications of this are of interests to the land owner, but are dismaying to those interested in preserving the wilderness. [I]46. What is the primary focus of this passage?[/I] A. controversies over land use in Denali. B. miners selling their property in Denali. C. Alaska building more roads to Denali. D. limiting tourist access to Denali. [I]47. The word prompting in the first paragraph could best be replaced by which of the following?[/I] A. promising B. sanctioning C. initiating D. trapping [I]48. The word arises in the second paragraph could best be replaced by ......[/I] A. surrenders B. occurs C. volunteers D. prospers [I]49. The word tract in the second paragraph refers to..............[/I] A. trail B. resort C. frontier D. expanse [I]50. Which of the following is most similar to the word abundant in the second paragraph?[/I] A. plentiful B. sparse C. hopeful D. absolute 51. According to the passage, which of the following are pollutants in the Denali area? A. gold B. pesticides C. human waste D. arsenic [I]52. Which of the following is closest in the meaning to the phrase potential impact in the third paragraph?[/I] A. appropriate cost B. expected value C. proposed size D. possible effects [I]53. The author infers that some mine owners might hesitate to sell their land to the Park Service for which of the following reasons?[/I] A. There may be increasing demand for the one in the mines. B. They might want to build a house on their property. C. They might receive more money selling their lands to developers. D. They might want to move to the towns. [I]54. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?[/I] A. to demonstrate the changes in Denali National Park. B. to use Denali as an example of common park issues. C. to introduce the wonders of the wilderness area in Denali. D. to explain the problems occurring in Denali Park. [I]55. Which of the following would most likely to be the topic of the next paragraph in this passage?[/I] A. conflict between land owners and environmentalists. B. the role of the National Park Service in development. C. tourist needs in Denali Park. D. wildlife in the park. [B]Read the passage and choose the best answer:[/B] It was once believed that being overweight was healthy, but nowadays few people subscribe to this viewpoint. While many people are fighting the battle to reduce weight, studies are being conducted concerning the appetite and how it is controlled by both emotional and biochemical factors. Some of the conclusions of these studies may give insights into how to deal with weight problems. For example, when several hundred people were asked about their eating habits in times of stress, 44 percent said they reacted to stressful situations by eating. Further investigations with both humans and animals indicated that it is not food which relieves tension but rather the act of chewing. A test in which subjects were blindfolded showed that obese people have a keener sense of taste and crave more flavorful food than nonobese people. When deprived of the variety and intensity of tastes, obese people are not satisfied and consequently eat more to fulfill this need. Blood samples taken from people after they were shown a picture of food revealed that overweight people reacted with an increase in blood insulin, a chemical associated with appetite. This did not happen to average-weight people. In another experiment, results showed that certain people have a specific, biologically induced hunger for carbohydrates. Eating carbohydrates raises the level of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain. Enough serotonin produces a sense of satiation, and hunger for carbohydrates subsidies. Exercise has been recommended as an important part of a weight-loss program. However, it has been found that mild exercise, such as using the stairs instead of the elevator, it better in the long run than taking on a strenuous program, such as jogging, which many people find difficult to continue over long periods of time and which also increase appetite.

According to the passage, insulin................[/I] A. increases in the bloodstream when people eat large amounts of food. B. can be used to lessen the appetite.
