Mã đề: 225 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 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 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 29 This passage is mainly about A pandemic diseases B A how to prevent pandemic diseases C pandemic diseases throughout history D why pandemics happen 30 According to paragraph 1, how are diseases a natural part of life on Earth? A They prevent pandemics B They help the world grow quickly C They kill too many people D They help control the population 31 Based on the information in the passage the term pandemics can best be explained as _ A diseases that spread quickly and kill large numbers of people B diseases with no cure C deadly kind of flu D new diseases like SARS or the Marburg virus 32 According to the passage, what causes pandemics? A Careless doctors who not watch the spread of diseases B The failure to make new medicines C Population growth that the world cannot support D Changes in a disease that the body cannot fight 33 According to the passage, all of the following are true of the 1918 flu pandemic EXCEPT that A it killed over 25 million people B it was the last pandemic in history C it took a little over a week to kill its victims D it involved a new kind of flu virus 34 The word it in the passage refers to A flu virus B disease C bodies D pandemics 35 Which of the following is mentioned as a common feature of all pandemic diseases? A They may kill many people very quickly B They spread from people to people very slowly C They not kill people very quickly D They kill all the victims 36 According to paragraph 3, why hasn't Marburg virus become a pandemic? A It is not a deadly disease B Doctors have prevented it from becoming a pandemic C It kills people too quickly D It does not spread from person to person easily 37 The word monitor in the passage is closest in meaning to A avoid B watch C fight D prevent 38 The author mentions SARS in order to A give an example of a highly dangerous disease B suggest that there may be a new pandemic soon C suggest that SARS will never become a pandemic D give an example of the successful prevention of a pandemic Trang 4/6 - Mã đề: 225 VII Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to show the underlined part that needs correction in each of the following questions 39 A football match begins with the ball kicking forwards from a spot in the centre of the field A B C D 40 Finished her household chores, Marie decided to some shopping A B C D 41 Had the teacher realized that the students couldn't understand him, he would speak louder A B C D 42 Foreign students who are doing a decision about which school to attend may not know exactly where the choices are located A B C D 43 I hadn't understood his directions However, I asked him to repeat what he'd said A B C D VIII Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions 44 Monica: "I think we should recycle these bags It will help protect the environment."

Mã đề: 259 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 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 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 36 This passage is mainly about A pandemic diseases B pandemic diseases throughout history C A how to prevent pandemic diseases D why pandemics happen 37 According to paragraph 1, how are diseases a natural part of life on Earth?
