PANDEMIC DISEASES

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 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 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

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 43 to 50

Music can bring us to tears or to our feet, drive us into battle or lull us to sleep Music is indeed remarkable in its power over all humankind, and perhaps for that very reason, no human culture on earth has ever lived without it From discoveries made in France and Slovenia even

Neanderthal man, as long as 53,000 years ago, had developed surprisingly sophisticated,

sweet-sounding flutes carved from animal bones It is perhaps then, no accident that music should strike such a chord with the limbic system – an ancient part of our brain, evolutionarily speaking,

and one that we share with much of the animal kingdom Some researchers even propose that music

came into this world long before the human race ever did For example, the fact that whale and human music have so much in common even though our evolutionary paths have not intersected for nearly 60 million years suggests that music may predate humans They assert that rather than being the inventors of music, we are latecomers to the musical scene

Humpback whale composers employ many of the same tricks that human songwriters do In addition to using similar rhythms, humpbacks keep musical phrases to a few seconds, creating themes out of several phrases before singing the next one Whale songs in general are no longer than symphony movements, perhaps because they have a similar attention span Even though they can sing over a range of seven octaves, the whales typically sing in key, spreading adjacent notes no farther apart than a scale They mix percussive and pure tones in pretty much the same ratios as human composers – and follow their ABA form, in which a theme is presented, elaborated on and then revisited in a slightly modified form Perhaps most amazing, humpback whale songs include repeating refrains that rhyme It has been suggested that whales might use rhymes for exactly the same reasons that we do: as devices to help them remember Whale songs can also be

rather catchy When a few humpbacks from the Indian Ocean strayed into the Pacific, some of the

whales they met there quickly changed their tunes – singing the new whales’ songs within three

short years Some scientists are even tempted to speculate that a universal music awaits discovery

Question 43: Why did the author write the passage?

A To describe the music for some animals, including humans

B To illustrate the importance of music to whales

C To show that music is not a human or even modern invention

D To suggest that music is independent of life forms that use it

Question 44: The word “sophisticated” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _

Question 45: The word “one” in paragraph 1 can be replaced by _

A the chord B the left brain C the right brain D the limbic system

Question 46: According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE of humpback whales?

A their tunes are distinctively different from human tunes

B they can sing over a range of seven octaves

C they do not use rhyme, unlike humans

D whale songs of a particular group cannot be learned by other whales

Question 47: Which of the following is NOT true about humpback whale music?

A It uses similar patterns to human songs

B It’s comparative in length to symphony movements

C It’s easy to learn by other whales

D It’s in a form of creating a theme, elaborating and revisiting in rhyming refrains

Question 48: The word “catchy” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _

A easy to catch B easy to remember C easy to read D easy to think

Question 49: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A The earliest human beings came from France and Slovenia

B Music helped to shape the whale brain

C Humpback whales imitate the way human composers in creating their own music

D The research of musical brain will lead to a discovery of a universal music

Question 50: The word “their” in paragraph 2 refers to _
