Comprehension:
Read the following passage and choose the answer that is closest to each of the
questions that are based on the passage.
Bananas, apples, and avocados continue to ripen after they are picked. Cherries,
blackberries, and grapes do not. The difference between climacteric fruits (the former) and
non-climacteric fruits (the latter) matters to fruit growers and greengrocers, who must make
sure their wares are in tip-top condition when they arrive at the marketplace. But how those
differences originally came about remains unclear.
Two biologists of the University of Tokyo offer a suggestion. Fruits, they observe, exist to
solve a problem faced by all plants—how best to spread their progeny around. Wrapping their
seeds in a sugary pulp to provide a tasty meal serves as a way to get animals to do this for
them. They do, however, need to make sure that their fruits favour the animals most likely to
do the distributing. The biologists propose that climacterism, or its absence, is a way to
achieve this. If ground-dwelling animals are the main distributors, then the continuing ripening
of fallen fruit (i.e., climacterism) is beneficial. If, by contrast, those distributors are arboreal or
aerial, and so can feed on unfallen fruit, then non-climacteric fruits will do well.
To test their idea, the two researchers studied 80 varieties of fruits, and noted which animals
each depended on for its propagation. 35 of these fruits, eaten by both ground-dwelling
animals and arboreal or aerial animals, were non-climacteric. Further, 15 of the 19 varieties
eaten principally by ground-dwellers were climacteric, while 21 of the 26 fed on by arboreal or
aerial animals were non-climacteric.
That is a suggestively strong correlation. And the authors’ hypothesis is fortified by other
evidence. They point out that non-climacteric fruits tend to have vivid colours, especially reds
and purples. This may help them to stand out amid the foliage of their parent plants,
advertising their presence. Climacteric fruits are generally better camouflaged. That makes
them harder to spot until they have fallen to the ground.
The main limitation of their work is that they looked at fruits eaten by people. This has
probably contaminated the sample, for thousands of years of selective breeding for traits that
human beings find appealing may have blurred any signal optimised by natural selection. The
next step, therefore, should be the analysis of wild fruits.

evidence. They point out that non-climacteric fruits tend to have vivid colours, especially reds
and purples. This may help them to stand out amid the foliage of their parent plants,
advertising their presence. Climacteric fruits are generally better camouflaged. That makes
them harder to spot until they have fallen to the ground.
The main limitation of their work is that they looked at fruits eaten by people. This has
probably contaminated the sample, for thousands of years of selective breeding for traits that
human beings find appealing may have blurred any signal optimised by natural selection. The

Comprehension:
Read the following passage and choose the answer that is closest to each of the
questions that are based on the passage.
Bananas, apples, and avocados continue to ripen after they are picked. Cherries,
blackberries, and grapes do not. The difference between climacteric fruits (the former) and
non-climacteric fruits (the latter) matters to fruit growers and greengrocers, who must make
sure their wares are in tip-top condition when they arrive at the marketplace. But how those
differences originally came about remains unclear.
Two biologists of the University of Tokyo offer a suggestion. Fruits, they observe, exist to
solve a problem faced by all plants—how best to spread their progeny around. Wrapping their
seeds in a sugary pulp to provide a tasty meal serves as a way to get animals to do this for
them. They do, however, need to make sure that their fruits favour the animals most likely to
do the distributing. The biologists propose that climacterism, or its absence, is a way to
achieve this. If ground-dwelling animals are the main distributors, then the continuing ripening
of fallen fruit (i.e., climacterism) is beneficial. If, by contrast, those distributors are arboreal or
aerial, and so can feed on unfallen fruit, then non-climacteric fruits will do well.
To test their idea, the two researchers studied 80 varieties of fruits, and noted which animals
each depended on for its propagation. 35 of these fruits, eaten by both ground-dwelling
animals and arboreal or aerial animals, were non-climacteric. Further, 15 of the 19 varieties
eaten principally by ground-dwellers were climacteric, while 21 of the 26 fed on by arboreal or
aerial animals were non-climacteric.

Comprehension:
Read the following passage and choose the answer that is closest to each of the
questions that are based on the passage.
On the 14th of May 1796, vaccine matter was taken from the hand of a dairy maid, Sarah
Nelmes, and inserted by two superficial incisions in the arms of James Phipps, a healthy boy
of about eight years of age. The boy went through an attack of cowpox as expected. After
this, however, it was necessary to determine whether he was protected from smallpox. After
waiting two months Jenner inoculated him with material from a smallpox patient. He was
delighted to note that the boy was not affected by smallpox.
By 1798, Jenner had succeeded in demonstrating the protective quality of the cowpox virus
against smallpox, by putting on record details of 23 cases, contracted either casually or by
direct inoculation. Sixteen of these had occurred accidentally among dairy workers in the
course of occupations connected with cows and horses; the rest were done under Jenner's
direction. Among the persons inoculated was Jenner's own little second son, Robert Harding
Jenner, an infant eleven months old. Jenner demonstrated conclusively that the cowpox
protects the human constitution from the infection of smallpox.
After Dr. Jenner had made his tests, he prepared a pamphlet for publication. He also went to
London, so that he might have the opportunity to introduce the subject personally to friends
and demonstrate the truth of his assertion to them. He remained in London for nearly three
months without being able to find anyone who would submit to vaccination. Jenner went back
to Gloucestershire, disappointed. It happened, however, that soon after his return home, a
distinguished London surgeon named Cline resolved to make a trial of the vaccine material
which Jenner had left with his friends.
The patient was a child suffering from a form of chronic hip-joint disease. The vaccine
material was inoculated, and the vaccine vehicle ran rather a normal course and healed fully.
The little patient was afterward inoculated with smallpox virus and found to be incapable of
acquiring that disease. This case attracted considerable attention. The child was in a run-
down condition, and the vaccine material might very well have provoked a rather serious local
reaction. In a way, the fate of vaccination hung in the balance and good luck was in its favour.
Mr. Cline, however, after this, became a strong advocate of vaccination, and brought it very
decidedly before the London physicians.
It was not long before the opposition to the practice of vaccination took definite form. One of
the best-known London physicians of the time, Dr. Ingenhouz, became the leader of a strong
faction of the medical profession of London, who not only would have nothing to do with
vaccination, but proclaimed openly that it was a dangerous innovation, absolutely
unjustifiable, and communicated a disease without protecting against any other. Dr. Watt from
Glasgow blamed the vaccine for the increase in severe cases of measles and measles-
related deaths among children.
Fortunately, only a few colleagues were so illogical, and an excellent idea of how much
Jenner's discovery was appreciated by his contemporaries may be obtained from the number
of honours, diplomas, addresses and communications from public bodies and distinguished
individuals which he received. Most of the prominent medical and scientific societies of

After Dr. Jenner had made his tests, he prepared a pamphlet for publication. He also went to
London, so that he might have the opportunity to introduce the subject personally to friends
and demonstrate the truth of his assertion to them. He remained in London for nearly three
months without being able to find anyone who would submit to vaccination. Jenner went back
to Gloucestershire, disappointed. It happened, however, that soon after his return home, a
distinguished London surgeon named Cline resolved to make a trial of the vaccine material
which Jenner had left with his friends.
The patient was a child suffering from a form of chronic hip-joint disease. The vaccine
material was inoculated, and the vaccine vehicle ran rather a normal course and healed fully.
The little patient was afterward inoculated with smallpox virus and found to be incapable of
acquiring that disease. This case attracted considerable attention. The child was in a run-
down condition, and the vaccine material might very well have provoked a rather serious local
reaction. In a way, the fate of vaccination hung in the balance and good luck was in its favour.
Mr. Cline, however, after this, became a strong advocate of vaccination, and brought it very
decidedly before the London physicians.
It was not long before the opposition to the practice of vaccination took definite form. One of
the best-known London physicians of the time, Dr. Ingenhouz, became the leader of a strong
faction of the medical profession of London, who not only would have nothing to do with
vaccination, but proclaimed openly that it was a dangerous innovation, absolutely
unjustifiable, and communicated a disease without protecting against any other. Dr. Watt from
Glasgow blamed the vaccine for the increase in severe cases of measles and measles-
related deaths among children.
Fortunately, only a few colleagues were so illogical, and an excellent idea of how much
Jenner's discovery was appreciated by his contemporaries may be obtained from the number
of honours, diplomas, addresses and communications from public bodies and distinguished
individuals which he received. Most of the prominent medical and scientific societies of
Europe elected him a member or sent him some special token of recognition.
