Questions 31 through 35 are based on the following passage.
Hot boning is an energy-saving technique for the meat processing industry. It has received significant attention in recent years when increased pressure for energy conserva¬tion has accentuated the need for more efficient methods of processing the bovine carcass. Cooling an entire carcass requires a considerable amount of refrigerated space, since bone and trimmable fat are cooled along with the muscle. It is also necessary to space the carcasses adequately in the refrigerated room for better air movement and prevention of microbial contamination, thus adding to the volume requirements for carcass chillers. .
Conventional handling of meat involves holding the beef sides in the cooler for 24 to 36 hours before boning. Chilling in the traditional fashion is also associated with a loss of carcass weight ranging from 2 percent to 4 percent due to evaporation of moisture from the meat tissue.
Early excision, or hot boning, of muscle prerigor followed by vacuum packaging has several potential advantages. By removing only the edible muscle and fat prerigor, refrigera¬tion space and costs are minimized, boning labor is de¬creased, and storage yields increased. Because hot boning often results in the toughening of meat, a more recent approach, hot boning following electrical stimulation, has been used to reduce the necessary time of rigor mortis.
Some researchers have found this method beneficial in maintaining tender meat, while others have found that the meat also becomes tough after electrical stimulation.
31. The word “accentuated” is closest in meaning to
A. de-emphasized C. Caused
B. speeded up D. highlighted
32. All of the following are mentioned as drawbacks of the conventional method of boning EXCEPT
A. Storage space requirements
B. Energy waste
C. Loss of carcass weight
D. Toughness of meat
33. The word “pressure” is nearest in meaning to . . .
A. urgency C. Flavor
B. weight D. cooking texture
34. Hot boning is becoming very popular because
A. it causes meat to be very tender
B. it helps converse energy and is less expensive
than conventional methods
C. meat tastes better when the bone is adequately
seared along with the meat
D. it reduces the weight of the carcass
35. The phrase “carcass chiller” is nearest in meaning to . . .
A. a refrigerator for the animal body
B. a method of boning meat
C. electrical stimulation of beef
D. early excision
Questions 36 – 40 refer to the following passage.
The Stone Age was a period of history which began in approximately 2 million B.C. and lasted until 3000 B.C. Its name was derived from the stone tools and weapons that modern scientists found. This period was divided into the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic Age. During the first period (2 million to 8000 B.C.), the first hatchet and use of fire for heating and cooking were developed. As a result of the Ice Age, which evolved about 1 million years into the Paleolithic Age, people were forced to seek shelter in caves, wear clothing, and develop new tools.
During the Mesolithic Age (8000 to 6000 B.C.), people made crude pottery and the first hooks, took dogs hunting, and developed the bow and arrow, which were used until the fourteenth century A.D.
The Neolithic Age (6000 to 3000 B.C.) saw humankind domesticating sheep, goats, pigs, and cattle, being less nomadic than previous eras, establishing permanent settlements, and creating governments.
