PART 2

In this exercise, you will read a passage and answer the questions that follow.

Passage 1

In 1918, the world suffered one of the worst flu outbreaks in recorded history. A flu pandemic, or
worldwide outbreak, infected roughly one in every three people in the world. Recordkeeping was not very
accurate at that time, so the final death toll remains unknown. Given what we do know, it is estimated that
as many as 100 million people died from the 1918 flu pandemic. It is still considered to be the worst natural
disaster in history.

The flu, short for influenza, is caused by a virus. When the human body detects any virus, the immune
system becomes active in order to fight it. Typically, people with strong immune systems, such as healthy
young adults, recover faster from the virus than people who have weak immune systems, such as the elderly
or very young children. However, the 1918 flu virus killed more healthy adults than it did the elderly or the
very young. The 1918 virus was so deadly that people's bodies overreacted. Strong immune systems then
became too aggressive in fighting the virus and actually caused more harm, often killing those infected.
Fortunately, science, recordkeeping, and disaster-response measures have all improved greatly. Today,
doctors have better medicines to treat potential outbreaks, and they know more about how viruses spread.

In 2009, another flu pandemic broke out. The virus was related to the one in 1918. However, this flu
virus was less dangerous and did not cause people's immune systems to overreact. Also, medicines to treat
or prevent the flu were stronger, so the 2009 pandemic caused only a tiny fraction of the amount of damage
done by the pandemic in 1918.

Question 1. Compared to other natural disasters, the 1918 flu virus was _______________.
A. not as deadly B. much deadlier

C. equally severe D. the least severe

Question 2. How did the 1918 flu virus affect people compared to most other flu viruses?

A. It affected people with weaker immune systems the most.

B. Elderly people recovered more slowly.

C. More young children were affected.

D. More victims were healthy young adults.

Question 3. How were the 1918 flu virus and the 2009 flu virus similar?

A. Both caused pandemics

B. Both infected the same number of people

C. Both created immune system overreactions

D. Both were untreatable with medicine

Question 4. Which best explains why fewer people died from the 2009 flu virus than from the 1918 flu
virus?

A. The 1918 outbreak affected people with weak immune systems

B. Doctors in 1918 did not have the right medicines

C. People’s immune systems were stronger in 2009

D. People kept better records in 2009

Question 5. Which is the BEST title for the passage?

A. The history of flu pandemics

B. How people reacted to flu pandemics

C. The invention of flu medicines

D. Flu Pandemics

Passage 2

The day after Thanksgiving is the start of the holiday shopping season. Thanksgiving is always on a
Thursday, so the day after is a Friday. This day has come to be known as Black Friday. It has been the busiest
shopping day of the year since 2005.

Most stores offer great deals on Black Friday. They open their doors in three hours of the morning. They
try to attract shoppers with big discounts. Some items like TVs are much cheaper than usual. Stores may
even lose money on these items. They hope that shoppers will buy gifts for other people while they are in
the store.

The situation can be tense. Some Black Friday events have been violent. Large, eager crowds have
trampled workers. Fights have broken out over toys or people cutting in line. People have shot one another
over parking spots. But most Black Friday events are safe and fun. Still, if you plan on going, expect large
crowds and a bit of shoving.

So where does the name "Black Friday" come from? It was first used in Philadelphia in the 1950s. The
police called this day Black Friday because of the heavy traffic it drew. In the 1960s, stores tried to rename
the day "Big Friday." It did not stick. The name "Black Friday" continued to spread across the country. It
seems that it is here to stay.

B. They hope people will buy other gifts while they are in the store.

C. They are in a giving mood because the holiday season is just beginning.

D. They are trying to get rid of old items from last year to make room for new items.

Question 7. Where does the name Black Friday come from?

A. The police called this day Black Friday because there is a lot of traffic.

B. The stores called this day Black Friday because it is a serious shopping day.

C. The police called this day Black Friday to remember the victims of violence.

D. The stores called this day Black Friday because they make a lot of money.

Question 8. Which is not true about Black Friday?

A. Black Friday is always the day after Thanksgiving.

B. Black Friday is the busiest shopping day of the year.

Passage 3

Television

Televisions show sounds and pictures. They get data from cables, discs, or over-the-air signals. They turn
this data into sounds and images. People watch news and shows on them. You probably call them TVs. John
Baird made the first TV in 1925. It had one color. It could only show 30 lines. This was just enough room
for a face. It didn't work well, but it was a start.

By the end of the 1930s, TVs were working well. America got its first taste at the 1939 World's Fair. This
was one of the biggest events ever. There were 200 small, black and white TVs set up around the fair. The
U.S. President gave a speech over the TVs. The TVs were only five inches big but the people loved it.

They wanted TVs. But World War II was going on during this time. Factories were busy making guns
and bombs. When the war was over, TV spread across the country. By 1948 there were 4 big TV networks
in America. They aired their shows from 8 to 11 each night. Local shows were aired at other times. Most of
the time, nothing was shown at all. TV was not "always on" like it is now.

Color TVs came out in 1953. They cost too much money for most. Also, shows were aired in black and
white. By 1965, color TVs were cheaper. TV stations started airing shows in color. People had to switch if
they wanted to see the shows.

Question 11. When did colour TVs come out?

A. 1925 B. 1953 C. 1939 D. 1965

Question 14. Why was 1939 an important year for TV?

A. Many Americans were introduced to TV. B. The first color TV was released.

C. The first TV station began broadcasting. D. John Baird created the first TV.

Question 15. What is the author's main purpose in writing this?

Standards of Measurement

In early times, measurements were made by comparing things with parts of the human body. Early units of

of half the thumb. A foot was originally __(3)__ of a man's foot. A mile was one thousand walking steps.

chose the distance from __(7)__ to the North Pole, which is one quarter of the circumference of the Earth.
