Smallpox was the first widespread disease to be eliminated by human intervention. In May, 1966, the World Health Organization (WHO), an agency of the United Nations was authorized to initiate a global campaign to eradicate smallpox. The goal was to eliminate the disease in one decade. At the time, the disease posed a serious threat to people in more than thirty nations. Because similar projects for malaria and yellow fever had failed, few believed that smallpox could actually be eradicated but eleven years after the initial organization of the campaign no cases were reported in the field.

The strategy was not only to provide mass vaccinations but also to isolate patients with active smallpox in order to contain the spread of the disease and to break the chain of human transmission. Rewards for reporting smallpox assisted in motivating the public to aid health workers. One by one each smallpox victim was sought out, removed from contact with others and treated. At the same time, the entire village where the victim had lived was vaccinated.

By April of 1978 WHO officials announced that they had isolated the last known case of the disease but health workers continued to search for new cases for additional years to be completely sure. In May, 1980, a formal statement was made to the global community. Today, smallpox is no longer a threat to humanity. Routine vaccinations have been stopped worldwide.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

In 776 B.C., the first Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honor the Greek’s chief god, Zeus. The warm climate for outdoor activities, the need for preparedness in war, and their lifestyle caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but later the games were opened to all free Greek males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, javelin throwing, boxing, and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honored by having olive wreaths placed on their heads and having poems sung about their deeds. Originally these contests were held as games of friendship and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place. They also helped to strengthen bonds among competitors and the different cities presented.

The Greeks attached so much importance to the games that they calculated time in four-year cycles called “Olympiads”, dating from 776 B.C. The contest coincided with religious festivities and constituted an all-out effort on the part of participants to please the gods. Any who disobeyed the rules were dismissed and seriously punished.

Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage.

According to the best evidence gathered by space probes and astronomers, Mars is an inhospitable planet, more similar to Earth’s Moon than to Earth itself – a dry, stark, seemingly lifeless world. Mars’air pressure is equal to Earth’s at an altitude of 100,000 feet. The air there is 95 percent carbon dioxide.

Mars has no ozone layer to screen out the sun’s lethal radiation. Daytime temperatures may reach above freezing, but because the planet is blanketed by the mere wisp of an atmosphere, the heat radiates back into space. Even at the equato, the temperature drops to -50C (-60F) at night. Today there is no liquid water, although valleys and channels on the surface show evidence of having been carved by running water. The polar ice caps are made of frozen water and carbon dioxide, and water may be frozen in the ground as permafrost.

Despite these difficult conditions, certain scientists believe that there is a possibility of transforming Mars into a more Earth-like planet. Nuclear reactors might be used to melt frozen gases and eventually build up the atmosphere. This in turn could create a “greenhouse effect” that would stop heat from radiating back into space. Liquid water could be thawed to form a polar ocean. Once enough ice has melted, suitable plants could be introduced to build up the level of oxygen in the atmosphere so that, in time, the planet would support animal life from Earth and even permanent human colonies. “This was once thought to be so far in the future as to be irrelevant,” said Christopher McKay, a reseach scientist at NASA. “But now it’s starting to look practical. We could begin work in four or five decades.”

The idea of “terra-forming” Mars, as enthusiasts call it, has its roots in science fiction. But as reseachers develop a more profound understanding of how Earth’s ecology supports life, they have begun to see how it may be possible to create similar conditions on Mars. Don’t plan on homesteading on Mars any time soon, though. The process could take hundreds or even thousands of years to complete and the cost would be staggering.

Question 51. With which of the following is the passage primarily concerned?

a. The possibility of changing the Martian environment. b. The challenge of interplanetary travel.

c. The advantages of establishing colonies on Mars. d. The need to study the Martian ecology.

Question 52. The word “stark” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to

a. harsh b. unknown c. dark d. distant

Question 53. The word “there” in paragraph 2 refers to

a. a point 100 miles above the Earth b. the Earth’s Moon

c. Mars d. outer space

Question 54. Which of the following does the author NOT list as a characteristic of the planet Mars that would make colonization difficult?

a. The is little liquid water. b. Daytime temperatures are dangerously high.

c. The sun’s rays are deadly. d. Night time temperatures are extremely low.

Question 55. According to the passage, the Martian atmosphere today consists mainly of

a. carbon dioxide b. oxygen c. ozone d. water vapour

Question 56. It can be inferred from the passage that the “greenhouse effect” mentioned in paragraph 3 is

a. the direct result of nuclear reactions b. the cause of low temperatures on Mars.

c. caused by the introduction of green plants. d. a possible means of warming Mars.

Question 57. The word “suitable” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to

a. resistant b. altered c. appropriate d. native.

Question 58. According to Christopher McKay, the possibility of transforming Mars

a. could only occur in science fiction stories. b. is completely impractical.

Green land is the largest island in the world. It covers more than two million square kilometers. Imagine that a map of Greenland is on top of a map of Europe and Africa. Greenland would stretch from London to the middle of the Sahara Desert. Most of the island lies in the Artic Circle, and a huge sheet of ice covers 85 percent of it.

The ice sheet is more than 1,500 meters thick, and it never melts. Probably only rock lies under this ice, but no one knows for sure. Along the coast, mountains rise from the sea. Huge pieces of ice, called glaciers, float in the sea between the mountains. Some of them are as tall as ten – storey buildings.

Because Greenland is so cold, it is not very green. There are a few low trees in the southwest, but no real forests. In the winter, snow covers everything. In the summer, very low plants cover the ground between the sea and the ice sheet.

The first people to live in Greenland were probably Eskimos who came from Canada anout 3,000 years ago. Norwegian Vikings were the first Europeans to see the island. They came in 875, but they did not build towns and live there until 982. At the same time. Another group of Eskimos came to Greenland from Alaska. In 1261, the people in Greenland decided to join the country of Norway. Then, in 1380, Norway united with Denmark. This union ended in 1814, and Greenland stayed with Denmark. Today this huge island is part of the kingdom of Denmark. Greenland is about fifty times as large as Denmark, but Denmark has about ninety times as many people.

About 62,000 people live in Greenland. Most of them are part Eskimo and part Danish. They call themselves Greelanders and speak Greenlandic language (which has many Danish words). Almost all of them live in towns and villages along the southwestern coast because that is the wamest part of the island. Life in Green land is difficult because the weather is very cold. Temperatures average -29.5 degrees Celsius in January, -10 degrees Celsius in July. It is dark 24 hours a day in the winter, but in the summer the Sun shines all day and night. This is the time of the midnight Sun.

The island has very few natural resources. The people raise a few kinds of vegetables and sheep. The most important industry is fishing. In southwest Greenland there are many fish staions and processing plants where fish are cleaned, dried, salted, or frozen. Much of the processing fish is exported to other countries.

Life in Greenland is changing fast. For ceturies, people there had no communication with the rest of the world. They had very traditional lives. Today Greenland is much more modern. Many changes are taking place, and some of them difficult for the Greenlanders. It is not easy to move from a traditional life to a mordern life.

Today Greenland is important to the world because scientists study the weather there. They can tell when storms are developing over the North Atlantic Ocean. This weather information is important because the North Atlantic is a busy shipping area. Greenland welcomes scientists from many countries of the world. Together these scientists are making important discoveries about how the weather on our planet is changing. Because of the work that scientists do in Greenland, people all over the world are learning more about the weather and the environment.
