Smallpox (also known by the Latin names Variola or Variola vera) was a highly contagious viral disease unique to humans. It is caused by two virus variants called Variola major and Variola minor. V. major is the more deadly form, with a typical mortality of 20–40 percent of those infected. The other type, V. minor, only kills 1% of its victims. Many survivors are left blind in one or both eyes from corneal ulcerations, and persistent skin scarring—pockmarks—is nearly universal. Smallpox was responsible for an estimated 300–500 million deaths in the 20th century. As recently as 1967, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 15 million people contracted the disease and that two million died in that year. After successful vaccination campaigns, in 1979 the WHO certified the eradication of smallpox, though cultures of the virus are kept by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States and at the Institute of Virus Preparations in Siberia, Russia.
Which one of the following is not true according to the passage?
A) Smallpox is only seen in humans
B) Smallpox is a contagious disease
C) Scientists have found a vaccine for smallpox
D) Smallpox is caused by mainly two viruses
E) V. Minor is more dangerous than Variola major
There is no sharp distinction between science and engineering. That is why engineers and scientists are often confused in the minds of the general public. While scientists explore nature in order to discover general principles, engineers apply established principles drawn from mathematics and science in order to develop economical solutions to technical problems. The work of engineers is the link between perceived social needs and commercial applications. Engineers consider many factors when developing a new product. For example, in developing an industrial robot, engineers precisely specify the functional requirements; design and test the robot’s components; integrate the components to produce the final design; and evaluate the design's overall effectiveness, cost, reliability, and safety. This process applies to the development of many different products, such as chemicals, computers, engines, aircraft, and toys.
. It can be inferred from the passage that engineers ................
A) are as ambitious as scientists
B) have to take into consideration the economic and functional aspects of new products
C) are required to explore nature in order to develop new products
D) are much more successful than scientists
E) earn much less than scientists

The nail grows from a point near the roots below the skin. This semi-circle named the 'lunula' comprises a group of cells that manufacture keratin, a dead, hoof-like protein. Though nails grow an average of two inches per year, their growth slows with age, and the average adult's fingernails grow only one inch in eight months. The base of the nails is embedded into the skin. Unlike other skin, it contains elastic fibres that connect it to the nail, and hold it firmly in place. The cuticle, a rim of skin over the lunula, protects it from bacterial infection, serves as a shock absorber, and shields the nail from any sudden impacts. Normally, the lunula is white in colour, indicating proper nutrition and good overall health. Blue lunula raise red flags that circulatory problems to the fingers may exist. Nails that are hard, brittle, and tend to split easily, may also be clues to poor circulation, infection, or disturbances of the glandular and nutritional systems. Those curling sharply around the finger point to coronary, liver, or lung diseases.
The passage mainly deals with ----.
A) the causes of nail infections
B) nails curling sharply around the finger
C) how we should take care of our nails
D) the chemical structure of nails
E) general characteristics of nails

Many people believed that the bone is static and inert, but this idea is incorrect, the organic and mineral components of the bone matrix are continually being recycled and renewed through a process called remodelling. This process goes under way throughout life, as part of normal bone maintenance. Bone remodelling plays a key factor between the activities of the cells osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. In the adult stage, osteocytes are continually removing and replacing the surrounding calcium salts. But osteoclasts and osteoblasts also remain active, even after the epiphyseal plates have closed. For the most part their activities have a balance. As one osteon forms through the activity of osteoblasts, another is destroyed by osteoclasts. In young adult, approximately each year one fifth of the adult skeleton is demolished and rebuilt or replaced. The turnover and recycling of minerals give each bone the ability to adapt to new stresses. The mechanism that controls the internal organization and structure is osteoblast. Whenever a bone is stressed, the mineral crystals generate electrical fields. Osteoblasts have an attraction to these electrical fields, and once they are in this area they begin to produce bone. Since bones are adaptable, their shapes reflect the forces applied to them. Heavily steeled bones become thicker and stronger, whereas bones not being accessible to ordinary stresses will be deteriorated. Therefore is important to exercise daily to maintain a normal bone structure.
According to the passage, the bone____.
A) is a type of connective tissue made up of minerals
B) development lasts until adulthood
C) is not active and moving
D) has osteocytes which are not mature bone cells
E) occasionally repairs and renews itself

In 1993, Frances Rauscher and her team published a scientific paper that changed the world. She had taken a number of students and randomly divided them into three groups. One group listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major, the second group heard a standard relaxation tape, and the third sat in silence. Everyone then completed a standard test of spatial intelligence. Those who had listened to Mozart scored far higher than those in the other two groups. Journalists reported the findings, with some exaggerating the results, declaring just a few minutes of Mozart led to a substantial, long-term increase in intelligence. The idea spread, some reporting that even babies became brighter after listening to Mozart. But when other scientists tried to replicate Rauscher's results, they concluded that the effect, if it existed, was much smaller than was first thought. For instance, Glenn Schellenberg had children learn keyboard skills, have voice training, take drama classes or, as a control, do nothing. Clear IQ improvements were observed in children who were taught keyboard skills or given voice lessons, whereas those given drama lessons were no different from the control group. It seems that the focused attention and memorization required in certain tasks, not just listening to Mozart, helps children's self-discipline and thinking.
In the passage, in view of the results of Glenn Schellenberg's experiment, if children get taught keyboard skills and voice skills —•.
A) they are likely to perform better in their drama lessons at school
B) they may experience an improvement in their intelligence
C) their self-discipline and thinking will suffer greatly
D) their need for musical training and practice will be met
E) they will require more focused attention and memorization

Scientists who study Earth's moon have two big regrets about the six Apollo missions that landed a dozen astronauts on the lunar surface between 1969 and 1972. The biggest regret, of course, is that the missions ended so abruptly, with so much of the moon still unexplored. But researchers also lament that the great triumph of Apollo led to a popular misconception: because astronauts have visited the moon, there is no compelling reason to go back. In the 1990s, however, two probes that orbited the moon raised new questions about Earth's airless satellite. One stunning discovery was strong evidence of water ice in the perpetually shadowed areas near the moon's poles. Because scientists believe that comets deposited water and organic compounds on both Earth and its moon, well-preserved ice at the lunar poles could yield clues to the origins of life.
According to the passage, even though there were six Apollo missions to the moon roughly thirty years ago, —.
A) none of them could claim to be successful
B) man's knowledge of the moon has not increased at all
C) a very large proportion of the lunar surface remains to date unexamined
D) it was only the lunar poles that were explored fully
E) the idea of sending astronauts back to the moon seems even more far -fetched than formerly

C) The notion that caused a failure was initiated during an exercise.
D) When I first started to practice this notion eagerly, I didn’t know that it would be a failure.
E) It started as a praiseworthy idea, but has resulted as an exercise far from
success.
Parents are a key source of support in helping their children learn a second language as they, like teachers, are in a strong position to motivate children to be enthusiastic about language learning. They can teach them to appreciate how languages can enhance their lives. All parents have experience of teaching languages, as they taught their children their first language. Children need to feel confident in their use of other languages. Parents are in a unique position to develop that confidence and inspire their children to experiment with languages and use the skills they acquire. Many parents, because of their own interest in languages and with strong language skills themselves, may already be supporting their children in their language learning. Whatever their expertise, parents can contribute to the sense of fun and motivation that is essential to learning a language.
The main concern of the passage is how ----.
A) parents and teachers must work together to make children more excited about learning a language
B) much parents already know about learning a second language
C) parents play a crucial role in how their children learn a foreign language
D) parents know more about teaching a language than teachers because they taught their children their first language
E) parents who don’t learn a second language will have trouble teaching one to their children
