Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer
Passage A
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 from 61 to 65.
The coronavirus is usually transmitted by droplets, such as those produced when coughing and
sneezing, and by direct or indirect contact with secretions infected by the virus. The virus may also
shed in blood, urine and faeces, and, therefore, there is potential for transmission through contact
with a wide range of bodily fluids. Certainly, person-to-person spread has been confirmed in
community and healthcare settings across Asia and into Europe. There is also a possibility that
asymptomatic carriers may be able to infect people. Public Health England (PHE) has classified the
COVID-19 infection as an airborne, high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK.
The application of infection prevention and control (IPC) principles are already widely used by
healthcare professionals within hospital and community settings to both prevent the spread of
infections and to control outbreaks when they do occur. The WHO has issued interim guidance
regarding IPC when COVID-19 is suspected. This advice is echoed by guidance issued by PHE.
PHE suggests the coronavirus may pose complications, such as illness pneumonia or severe
acute respiratory infection. They also suggest that patients with long-term conditions or are
immunocompromised are at risk of these complications. It is important that as first-line staff,
midwives are also familiar with the recommended IPC principles and measures, and ensure they have
the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when caring for a patient with suspected
COVID-19.
Question 61: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. the problems related to the coronavirus
B. epidemic situation in England caused by coronavirus
C. advice for those who infected with coronavirus
 D. how the coronavirus is transmitted and ways to prevent infection
Question 62: The coronavirus can be found in all of the following except ______.
A. blood B. clothes C.urine D. faeces
Question 63: The word “interim” in paragraph 2 mostly means ______.
A. temporary B. everlasting C. permanent D. effective
Question 64: According to the last paragraph, who are at risk of illness pneumonia or severe acute
respiratory infection?
A. people working in the WHO B. employees of Public Health England
C. those with long-term conditions D. first-line staff like midwives
Question 65: What does the word “They” in the last paragraph refer to?

Passage B
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 from 66 to 70.
The increase in urbanization causes different problems. Air and water pollution are amongst
the major issue we have to tackle.
In the first place, cars, factories and burning waste emit dangerous gases that change the air
quality in our cities and pose threats to our health. Dangerous gases such as carbon dioxide and
nitrogen oxides cause respiratory diseases, for instant, bronchitis and asthma. Those are also proved
to have long-term effects on the environment.
Furthermore, with the increased population, it becomes difficult to manage the waste
generated in cities. Most of the waste is discharged or dumped into rivers or onto streets. The waste
pollutes water and makes it unfit for human consumption. Subsequently, it becomes more and more
difficult for city dwellers to get clean water. Some cities in Africa are unable to provide adequate
water supply because most of the water is lost in pipe leakages. In fact, most city dwellers in
developing countries are forced to boil their water or to buy bottled water, which is very expensive.
There are several actions that could be taken to eradicate the problems described above.
Firstly, a simple solution would be joining community efforts to address problems affecting your
city. Ask your parents, friends and relatives to join in as well. These efforts might include clean-up
campaigns, recycling projects and a signature campaign to ask the government to do something about
the situation. A second measure would be encouraging your teacher to talk about these problems and
to discuss how young people can help to solve them. Finally, writing to local organizations working
on these issues for ideas on how you can contribute to solve them.
Question 66: The word tackle in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. deal with B. make up C. try on D. turn down
Question 67: The word those in paragraph 2 refers to ____.
A. bronchitis and asthma B. carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides
C. dangerous gases D. respiratory diseases
Question 68: According to the passage, in some cities in Africa ____.
A. people are allowed to dump waste into rivers and on streets
B. people aren't provided enough water due to leaking pipes
 C. people have found some solutions to the problems
D. people would rather use boiling water and bottled water
Question 69: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. City problems should be taught and be topic for students to discuss at school.
B. Children must ask for their parent's permission before joining community efforts.
C. Participators might take part in different kinds of projects and campaigns.
D. People can contribute in solving the problems by writing to local organizations working on
these issues.
Question 70: Which of the following would serve as the best title for the passage?
A. Environment degradation: Air and water pollution
B. Environmental pollution: Problems and actions
C. Increasing urbanization: Causes and effects
D. Increasing urbanization: Effects and solutions

ABSENTEEISM IN NURSING:
A LONGITUDINAL STUDY

Absence from work is a costly and disruptive problem for any organization. The cost of
absenteeism in Australia has been put at 1.8 million hours per day or $1400 million annually. The
study reported here was conducted in the Prince William Hospital in Brisbane, Australia, where,
prior to this time, few active steps had been taken to measure, understand or manage the
occurrence of absenteeism.
Nursing Absenteeism

A prevalent attitude amongst many nurses in the group selected for study was that there was no
reward or recognition for not utilizing the paid sick leave entitlement allowed them in their
employment conditions. Therefore, they believed they may as well take the days off — sick or
otherwise. Similar attitudes have been noted by James (1989), who noted that sick leave is seen
by many workers as a right, like annual holiday leave.
Miller and Norton (1986), in their survey of 865 nursing personnel, found that 73 per cent felt they
should be rewarded for not taking sick leave, because some employees always used their sick
leave. Further, 67 per cent of nurses felt that administration was not sympathetic to the problems
shift work causes to employees' personal and social lives. Only 53 per cent of the respondents
felt that every effort was made to schedule staff fairly. In another longitudinal
study of nurses working in two Canadian hospitals, Hacket Bycio and Guion (1989) examined the
reasons why nurses took absence from work. The most frequent reason stated for absence was
minor illness to self. Other causes, in decreasing order of frequency, were illness in family,
family social function, work to do at home and bereavement.
Method
In an attempt to reduce the level of absenteeism amongst the 250 Registered an Enrolled Nurses in
the present study, the Prince William management introduced three different, yet potentially
complementary, strategies over 18 months. Strategy 1: Non-financial (material) incentives: Within
the established wage and salary system it was not possible to use hospital funds to support this
strategy. However, it was possible to secure incentives from local businesses, including free passes
to entertainment parks, theatres, restaurants, etc. At the end of each roster period, the ward with
the lowest absence rate would win the prize. Strategy 2 Flexible fair rostering: Where possible, staff
were given the opportunity to determine their working schedule within the limits of clinical needs.
Strategy 3: Individual absenteeism: and each month, managers would analyze the pattern of absence
of staff with excessive sick leave (greater than ten days per year for full-time employees).
Characteristic patterns of potential 'voluntary absenteeism' such as absence before and after days off,
excessive weekend and night duty absence and multiple single days off were communicated to all
ward nurses and then, as necessary, followed up by action.
Absence rates for the six months prior to the Incentive scheme ranged from 3.69 per cent to
4.32 per cent. In the following six months they ranged between 2.87 per cent and 3.96 per cent. This
represents a 20 per cent improvement. However, analyzing the absence rates on a year-to-year
basis, the overall absence rate was 3.60 per cent in the first year and 3.43 per cent in the following
year. This represents a 5 per cent decrease from the first to the second year of the study. A
significant decrease in absence over the two-year period could not be demonstrated.
Discussion
The non-financial incentive scheme did appear to assist in controlling absenteeism in the short
term. As the scheme progressed it became harder to secure prizes and this contributed to
the program's losing momentum and finally ceasing. There were mixed results across wards as
well. For example, in wards with staff members who had long-term genuine illness, there was little
chance of winning, and to some extent the staffs on those wards were disempowered. Our
experience would suggest that the long-term effects of incentive awards on absenteeism are
questionable. Over the time of the study, staff were given a larger degree of control in their
rosters. This led to significant improvements in communication between managers and staff. A
similar effect was found from the implementation of the third strategy. Many of the nurses had not
realized the impact their behavior was having on the organization and their colleagues but there
were also staff members who felt that talking to them about their absenteeism was 'picking' on
them and this usually had a negative effect on management—employee relationships.
Conclusion
Although there has been some decrease in absence rates, no single strategy or combination of
strategies has had a significant impact on absenteeism per se. Notwithstanding the
disappointing results, it is our contention that the strategies were not in vain. A shared ownership
of absenteeism and a collaborative approach to problem solving has facilitated improved
cooperation and communication between management and staff. It is our belief that this
improvement alone, while not tangibly measurable, has increased the ability of management to
manage the effects of absenteeism more effectively since this study.

line 9 Perhaps they let out a secret we trusted them to keep under wraps, or sudden sided
line 10 with the opposition during an argument. Nobody is perfect, so try to have realistic
