A pioneer leader for women's rights, Susan Anthony became one of the leading women reformers of the
th
19 century. In Rochester, New York, she began her first public crusade on behalf of temperance, the habit of
not drinking alcohol. The temperance movement dealt with the abuses of women and children that suffered
from alcoholic husbands. Also, she worked tirelessly against slavery and for women's rights. Anthony helped
write the history of woman suffrage.
At the time Anthony lived, women did not have the right to vote. Because she voted in the 1872
election, a US official arrested Anthony. She hoped to prove that women had the legal right to vote under the

guilty and fined her $100, which she refused to pay.
Anthony did not work alone. She worked with reformers of women's rights such as Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and Amelia Bloomer. Susan worked for the American Anti-Slavery Society with Frederick Douglas, a
fugitive slave and black abolitionist.

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 December 2019, a number of pneumonia cases were reported in Wuhan, eastern China. The
pneumonia is associated with a new type of coronavirus. This virus has now spread to other cities in China.
There have also been cases in other countries around the world. Coronaviruses get their names because they
look like crowns under the microscope. This group of viruses causes diseases in humans and other animals,
including pigs and chickens. It is thought that the new coronavirus outbreak started in a market in Wuhan,
which sold meat and live animals. Scientists say that the virus is not closely related to any human virus
currently known. The World Health Organization has told countries around the world to track respiratory
infections in their populations. There is currently no vaccination against the corona virus.
The Wuhan coronavirus outbreak is similar to the 2002-03 epidemic of SARS coronavirus. This
outbreak, which started in south China, spread to 37 countries, causing 8,098 people to become ill and 774 to
die. Nearly 10% of people who were infected with SARS died. The deadly nature of the disease, the frequent
human-to-human spread, and infection of hospital staff contributed to the seriousness of the outbreak. SARS
was traced to several types of wild animals, which were sold as food in markets. The infected animals had no
symptoms. The outbreak was stopped by closing markets and killing animals, and by treating and isolating
patients. SARS has not been seen since 2003 and it is thought that the virus has now disappeared.
There are seven coronaviruses known to infect people, including the new Wuhan coronavirus and
SARS. Other human coronaviruses are those that cause the common cold, as well as the deadly MERS virus.
MERS is a common cold virus that often jumps from camels to humans in the Middle East. It can cause severe
pneumonia in people and spread from person to person. MERS was identified in 2012 and continues to be a
significant problem in the Middle East. Nearly 2,500 cases of MERS have been identified, causing 858 deaths.
How the new Wuhan coronavirus came to be in humans, and how closely it resembled the SARS
outbreak will be a focus of ongoing research. Outbreaks of new viruses, such as the Wuhan coronavirus, are a
reminder of the need to invest in research in virus biology and evolution, how viruses infect and interact with
human cells, and most importantly, to identify safe and effective drugs to treat or vaccines to prevent serious
disease.
