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.

Industrialization came to the United State after 1790 as North American entrepreneurs increased

productivity by reorganizing work and building factories These innovations in manufacturing boosted

output and living standards to an unprecedented extent; The average per capita wealth increased by nearly

1 percent per year – 30 percent over the course of a generation Goods that had once been luxury items became part of everyday life

The impressive gain in output stemmed primarily from the way in which workers made goods, since the 1790's, North American entrepreneurs – even without technological improvements – had

broadened the scope of the outwork system that make manufacturing more efficient by distributing

materials to a succession of workers who each performed a single step of the production process For example, during the 1820's and 1830's the shoe industry greatly expanded the scale and extend of the outwork system Tens of thousands of rural women, paid according to the amount they produced, fabricated the "uppers" of shoes, which were bound to the soles by wage-earning journeymen shoemakers

in dozens of Massachusetts towns, whereas previously journeymen would have made the enduring shoe This system of production made the employer a powerful "shoe boss" and eroded workers' control over the pace and conditions of labor However, it also dramatically increased the output of shoes while cutting their price

For tasks that were not suited to the outwork system, entrepreneurs created an even more important new organization, the modem factory, which used power-driven machines and assembly-line

techniques to turn out large quantities of well-made goods As early as 1782, the prolific Delaware

inventor Oliver Evans had built a highly automated, laborsaving flour mill driven by water power His machinery lifted the grain to the top of the mill, cleaned it as it fell into containers known as hoppers, ground the grain into flour, and then conveyed the flour back to the top of the mill to allow it to cool as it descended into barrels Subsequently, manufacturers made use of new improved stationary steam engines

to power their mills This new technology enabled them to build factories in the nation's largest cities,

taking advantage of urban concentrations of inexpensive labor, good transportation networks, and eager

customers

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each

of the questions

The immune system is equal in complexity to the combined intricacies of the brain and nervous

system The success of the immune system in defending the body relies on a dynamic regulatory communications network consisting of millions and millions of cells Organized into sets and subsets, these cells pass information back and forth like clouds of bees swarming around a hive The result is a sensitive system of checks and balances that produces an immune response that is prompt, appropriate, effective, and self-limiting

Trang 3/7 - Mã đề thi 103

At the heart of the immune system is the ability to distinguish between self and non-self When immune defenders encounter cells or organisms carrying foreign or non-self molecules, the immune troops move quickly to eliminate the intruders Virtually every body cell carries distinctive molecules that identify it as self The body’s immune defenses do not normally attack issues that carry self-markers Rather, immune cells and other body cells coexist peaceably in a state known as self-tolerance When a normally functioning immune system attacks a non-self molecule, the system has the ability to remember the specifics of the foreign body Upon subsequent encounters with the same species of molecules, the immune system reacts accordingly With the possible exception of antibodies passed during lactation, this so-called immune system memory is not inherited Despite the occurrence of a virus in your family, your immune system must learn from experience with the many millions of distinctive non-self molecules in the sea of microbes in which we live Learning entails producing the appropriate molecules and cells to match up with and counteract each non-self invader

Any substance capable of triggering an immune response is called an antigen Antigens are not to

be confused with allergens, which are most often harmless substances (such as ragweed pollen or cat hair) that provoke the immune system to set off the inappropriate and harmful response known as allergy An antigen can be a virus, a bacterium, a fungus, a parasite, or even a portion or product of one of these organisms Tissues or cells from another individual (except an identical twin, whose cells carry identical self markers) also act as antigens; because the immune system recognizes transplanted tissues as foreign,

it rejects them The body will even reject nourishing proteins unless they are first broken down by the digestive system into their primary, non-antigenic building blocks An antigen announces its foreignness

by means of intricate and characteristic shapes called epitopes, which protrude from its surface Most antigens, even the simplest microbes, carry different kinds of epitopes on their surface; some may even carry several hundred Some epitopes will be more effective than others at stimulating an immune response Only in abnormal situations does the immune system wrongly identify self as non-self and execute a misdirected immune attack The result can be so-called autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosis The painful side effects of these diseases are caused by a person’s immune system actually attacking itself

Question 41: After you have had the chickenpox, your immune system will be able to do all of the

following EXCEPT

A remember previous experiences with the chickenpox virus

B prevent your offspring from infection by the chickenpox virus

C distinguish between your body cells and that of the chickenpox virus

D match up and counteract non-self molecules in the form of the chickenpox virus

Question 42: Which of the following best expresses the main idea of these passages?

A An antigen is any substance that triggers an immune response

B The human body presents an opportune habitat for microbes

C One of the immune system’s primary functions is the allergic response

D The basic function of the immune system is to distinguish between self and non-self

Question 43: Why would tissue transplanted from father to daughter have a greater risk of being

detected as foreign than a tissue transplanted between identical twins?

A The twins’ immune systems would remember the same encounters with childhood illnesses

B The identical twins’ tissue would carry the same self-markers and would, therefore, be less likely to

be rejected

C The age of the twins’ tissue would be the same and, therefore, less likely to be rejected

D The difference in the sex of the father and daughter would cause the tissue to be rejected by the daughter’s immune system

Question 44: What is the meaning of the underlined word ‘intricacies’ as it is used in the first sentence

of the passage?

A elaborate interconnections B comprehensive coverage

C confusion of pathways D inherent perplexity

harmful immune response to a harmless substance such as ragweed pollen?

Question 46: How do the cells in the immune system recognize an antigen as foreign or non-self?

A through characteristic shapes on the antigen surface

B through fine hairs protruding from the antigen surface

C through blood type

D through an allergic response

Question 47: The immune cells and other cells in the body coexist peaceably in a state known as

A harmony B tolerance C self-tolerance D equilibrium

Question 48: What is the analogy used to describe the communications network among the cells in the

immune system?

A Immune troops eliminating intruders B The immune system’s memory
