Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks. BIRD FLU There has been a(n) (41) ___________ of avian influenza, better known as bird flu in Asia recently. The first (42) ___________ died two weeks ago in Vietnam and there have been cases reported since in Thailand, and there are some suspected cases in Cambodia (43) ___________. Wild birds are affected by a large number of flu viruses, just as humans and other animals (44) ___________, but they are normally exclusive to birds. If the viruses manage to mutate, they can jump the species barrier and infect human beings. The first case (45) ___________ someone died was in Hong Kong in 1997. There are several different forms of bird flu, raging from mild to very (46) ___________ infections, which spread rapidly and kill many of the birds they infect. It is spread by (47) ___________ birdsducks, in particular which carry the virus, but arent killed by it. They can spread the virus to farm birds through (48) ___________ contact or by contaminating water supplies. World Health Organization officials have attributed the spread of bird flu to human contact with the droppings of infected birds and (49) ___________ sanitation. There was no evidence at first that the virus spread from person to person, though there has been a (50) ___________ of this happening being investigated by scientists. 41.

A. awful B. bad C. terrible D. poor 50. A. circumstance B. situation C. case D. form V. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer ACID DUST Calcitecontaining dust particles blow into the air and combine with nitric acid in polluted air from factories to form an entirely new particlecalcium nitrate. These nitrates have optical and chemical properties that are completely different from those of the originally dry dust particles. Due to this, climate models need to be updated to reflect this chemistry. Calcite dust is common in arid areas such as Israel, where this past winter scientists collected particles for analysis. Working from a mountaintop, the team collected dust that had blown in from the northern shores of Egypt, Sinai, and southern Israel. The particles had combined with air containing pollutants that came from Cairo. They analyzed nearly 2,000 individual particles and observed the physical and chemical changes at the W.R Wiley Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory. An important change in the properties of the newly formed nitrate particles is that they absorb water and retain moisture. These particles can scatter and absorb sunlightpresenting climate modelers, who need to know where the energy is going, a new wild card to deal with. Other studies of dust samples from the Sahara and the Saudi Arabian coast and loess from China show that the higher the calcium in the mineral, the more reactive they are with nitric acid. In fact, once the particle is changed, it stays that way. 51. What is the main idea of the passage? A. There is a new particle called calcium nitrate B. Factories are polluting the environment. C. Climate models have to be updated because of the new particle calcium nitrate. D. Calcium nitrate has chemical properties different from other dust particles. 52. Why do climate models need to be updated to reflect the chemistry of calcium nitrate? A. The new particles can absorb water and retain moisture. B. The new particles can scatter and absorb sunlight.
