Part 1. Questions 56 to 65 (2 points - 0.2/ each)

Page 3 of 8
Read the passage below and choose the best answer from A, B, C or D to each question.
Diseases are a natural part of life on Earth. If there were no diseases, the population
would grow too quickly, and there would not be enough food or other resources, so in a way,
diseases are natural ways of keeping the Earth in balance. But sometimes they spread very
quickly and kill large numbers of people. For example, in 1918, an outbreak of flu spread
across the world, killing over 25 million people in only six months. Such terrible outbreaks of
a disease are called pandemics.
Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to
fight. In 1918 a new type of flu virus appeared. Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu
virus, and so it spread very quickly and killed large mumbers of people. While there have been
many different pandemic diseases throughout history, all of them have a new thing in
common.
First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily.
Second, while they may kill many people, they generally do not kill people very
quickly. A good example of this would be the Marburg virus. The Marburg virus is an
extremely infectious disease. In addition, it is deadly. About 70 – 80 % of all people who get
the Marburg virus died from the disease. However, the Marburg virus has not become a
pandemic because most people die within three days of getting the disease. This means that the
virus does not have enough time to spread a large number of people. The flu virus of 1918, on
the other hand, generally took about a week to ten days to kill its victims, so it had more time
to spread.
While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less
common. Doctors carefully monitor new diseases that they fear could become pandemics. For
example, in 2002, and 2003, doctors carefully watched SARS. Their health warnings may
have prevented SARS from becoming a pandemic.

C. They led the world grow quickly. D. They kill too many people.
57. Based on the information in the passage the term “pandemics” can be explained as _______.
A. Diseases with no kill
B. A deadly kind of flu
C. Diseases that spread quickly and kill large numbers of people
D. New disease like SARS or the Marbug virus
58. According to the passage, what causes pandemics?
A. changes a disease that body can not fight.
B. Careless doctors who do not watch the spread of disease.
C. Population grow that the world cannot support.
