Part 2 Questions 66 – 75 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question.
PANDEMIC
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 nature's way 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 the 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 numbers of people While there have been many different pandemic diseases throughout history, all of them have a few things 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 the people who get the Marburg virus die 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 to 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
