43 – 46: Answer these questions according to the passage below.

Studies conducted on those with autism show that it affects more boys than girls, and is prevalent in developed countries. Autism diagnosis occurs across different age groups, though studies also indicate that autism is likely already present at the time of birth, although it is very difficult to form an early diagnosis. Autism ranges from causing mild symptoms to more obvious abnormal behaviours associated with the condition. Unfortunately, no known cure has been found to alleviate this condition to date. Today, the cases of autism seen in adults and children are still rising. Experts who have been studying the condition have no explanation as to why it is so much more prevalent than ever before. There are those that believe that autism is caused by unexplained environmental conditions, although the recent rise in autism has also been attributed by increased awareness and effective diagnostic methods specific to the condition. 43. It is stated in the passage that autism ----.

A) is on the cusp of having a vaccine which can prevent it

B) doesn't display any noticeable symptoms until well into adulthood

C) spread from third-world to first-world countries

Pollution has accompanied mankind ever since groups of people first congregated and remained for a long time in any one place. Primitive human settlements can be recognized by their pollutants—shell mounds and rubble heaps. But pollution was not a serious problem as long as there was enough space available for each individual or group. With the establishment of permanent human settlements by great numbers of people, however, pollution became a problem and has remained one ever since. Cities of ancient times were often noxious places, fouled by human wastes and debris. In the Middle Ages, unsanitary urban conditions favoured the outbreak of population-decimating epidemics. During the 19th century, water and air pollution and the accumulation of solid wastes were largely the problems of only a few large cities. But, with the rise of advanced technology and with the rapid spread of industrialization and the concomitant increase in human populations to unprecedented levels, pollution has become a universal problem. And now, the various kinds of pollution are most conveniently considered under three headings: air, water, and land. 47. This passage makes explicit the fact that ----

.

A) permanent human settlements are noxious places with rampant pollution and there are few ways to deal with the problem

B) population decimating diseases are typically caused by the ignored precautions related to the pollution

C) pollution of the air, water, and land are typically the three most common types of pollution in today’s industrial world

D) the expansion of industrialization and continual increase in population has morphed pollution into worldwide problem

E) primitive human societies created a marginal amount of pollution throughout the history

48. In this passage the meaning of the word concomitant is synonymous with ----.

A) oppressive B) rampant C) accompanying D) widespread E) continuous

49. After reading this passage, one could

conclude that ----.

A) an increasing pollution level is often synonymous with the spread of society

B) eventually technology will advance up to a point where pollution is no longer a problem

C) primitive humans were nomadic, rarely settling in one place for an extended period of time

D) it is difficult for industrial manufacturers to curb their pollution output

E) pollution had a much more pronounced effect on ancient civilizations than it does today

50. This passage could best be summarized as -

---.

A) an attempt to warn the reader about the threat posed by current levels of pollution

B) an outline of the parallel relationship between societal development and rising levels of pollution

C) a demand for mankind to resort to a simpler lifestyle in order to combat the pollution presently threatening our ecosystem

D) a delineation of how primitive human settlements started to pollute their own environment

E) a discussion concerning the link between technological advancements and the pollution

In the 1300s AD, trade had become more costly and more difficult. The Mongol Empire had offered protection for travellers who carried trade goods. As the Mongol Empire collapsed, it became too dangerous to travel between Asia and Western Europe using overland routes. This meant that spices from Asia could only reach Europe by going around Asia, and through the Italian Peninsula. These spices were in high demand. They were used by Europeans to flavour their food, to preserve their meats, to make medicines, and even in perfumes. Yet, the cost of transporting these spices to Europe made them very expensive and difficult for the struggling nations of Western Europe to afford. These nations began to look at other ways of transporting spices into Western Europe. Many adventurous businessmen began to look at the sea. If they could find a way to sail from Europe to Asia over the sea, they could make a fortune. 51. The main idea of the passage is that ----.

A) Europeans started eating more and more like Asians as the 14th century progressed

B) spices had few uses besides for flavour, but Europeans still bought large quantities from the East

C) the fortune that traders used to make on the spice trade declined considerably in the 14th century

D) trading routes became too crowded, which forced traders to look to sea travel

E) the transportation of expensive spices throughout the world was profitable but required innovative means of travel

52. The passage indicates that the first cause that resulted in traders using sea trade routes was ----.

A) the expenses that traders had to pay for

transportation B) the collapse of the Mongol Empire

changed the trade routes between Asia and Europe

C) an expansion of the ways in which Europeans used spices

D) the high prices of spices that came from Europe, forcing people to look for species elsewhere

E) a new sense of adventure and fortune found in businessmen of the day

53. Based on the evidence in the passage,

Europe would not use spices from Asia for ----.

A) a way to cure illness B) making food taste better C) improving personal odour D) improving plant growth E) keeping beef from spoiling

54. It is implied in the passage that ----.

A) people were willing to spend a lot on spices

B) spices were frequently used for drug overdose

C) the move from land to sea trade was largely unsuccessful

D) it was very dangerous to travel and trade in Asia during the Mongol Empire

E) The spices found in the Mongol Empire played a major role in its expansion.

Vaccines are substances that help the body fight off diseases. In the past they have helped save millions of lives around the world. Diseases are often caused by bacteria or viruses that attack the human body. A vaccine is a dead or very weak form of such a virus. When you get a vaccination the body gets used to these weaker viruses and can produce antibodies which stay active for a long time. When the real virus or bacteria attack, the body becomes immune and can defend itself. People can get their vaccinations in many forms. Very often the vaccine is injected into your body, but vaccines are also taken by mouth or are inhaled. Although many vaccines protect you throughout your life, some provide immunity for only a certain time. Vaccines against the flu must be administered every year, because the flu virus can change or may appear in a different form. Most people already have a certain amount of immunity in their bodies. It is passed to them from their mother. However, these antibodies do not protect a baby for a long time, so that many vaccines are given to infants in their first years. 55. According to the passage, vaccines ----.

A) should be administered every year B) are just a feeble form of a virus C) sometimes cause the flu D) can only be injected into your body E) attack the immune system causing it to be

weak 56. It can be inferred from the passage that

babies are born ----.

A) with weaker viruses made them vulnerable to even tiny microbes

B) when their bodies get used to weak viruses and can produce antibodies

C) ready to fight off diseases D) with the immunity passed to them during

the pregnancy from the mother E) with an inactive immune system

57. In the passage, the writer draws attention to the idea that vaccination works ----.

A) by inhaling a mix of viruses that create a

bond with the body’s immune system B) when the body gets used to the weak

viruses and becomes capable of making antibodies

C) because people can get their vaccinations in many forms

D) because the immunity it creates lasts forever no matter what kind of viruses that attack the body

E) as long as the mother passes her immunity to her kids

58. The passage is concerned with ----.

A) different kinds of vaccines and how they help protect our bodies

B) the side effects of some potentially harmful vaccines

C) viruses and how they invade and attack our immune system

D) vaccines and the role they play in strengthening our immune system

E) lack of awareness of the positive effects of vaccines on infants and their mothers

The aborigines of Australia may have been some of the first people on the planet. Recent discoveries of relics, including stone tools, show that humans lived near Penrith, New South Wales, about 47,000 years ago. Australian aborigines migrated from northern lands by sea, when the water passages were narrower than they are today. This is the first evidence of sea travel by prehistoric humans. The saga of this water passing survives in modern-day aboriginal folklore. To put this in perspective, it should not be forgotten that 50,000 years ago, humans were nomadic. Early aborigines did not cultivate crops, and in Australia at the time there were no animals that could be domesticated. No one knows how long it took aboriginal people to reach Australia, but archaeologists are searching through ancient campsites for vestiges of their early lifestyle. Fossilized remains indicate that these nomadic people not only gathered food from the land, but they also subsisted on meat from large animals that no longer exist today. As part of their hunting tradition, aborigines ritually covered themselves in mud to mask their own scent or for camouflage. Aboriginal society marked the major events of life with rites such as circumcision, marriage, and cremation. Older people were revered and cared for as great sources of wisdom. When Westerners arrived in Australia in 1788, the 300,000 aborigines who lived there were not eager to assimilate their ways. In the following years, disease, loss of land, and loss of identity shaped the aborigines’ history perhaps as much as their first prehistoric crossing from the north. 59. The passage makes clear that the history of

the aboriginal peoples ----.

A) is highly richer than the history of any other peoples on the planet

B) took shape greatly by disease, loss of land and loss of identity

C) was not written down; instead, it was spread by word of mouth

D) was wiped out by the cultural hegemony of western settlers

E) doesn't exist thanks to a nomadic, meat eating lifestyle

60. The author of the passage suggests that Aborigine migration ----.

A) made it difficult for them to live an

agricultural lifestyle B) caused the extinction of a variety of plants

and animals C) was a massive undertaking, composed of

roughly 300,000 people D) was only possible thanks to their relative

technological advancement E) is the first example of sea travel by

prehistoric human beings 61. After reading the passage, it can be inferred

that archaeologists ----.

A) have yet to find any notable fossilized remains of early aboriginal settlements in Australia

B) carry out study on important ceremonial events in aboriginal society such as circumcision, marriage, and cremation

C) are unaware of exactly how long it took for the Aborigines to migrate to Australia

D) have compiled a vast amount of knowledge regarding the early aboriginal peoples

E) believe that Aboriginals are the link between prehistoric man and its predecessors

62. The passage is mainly concerned with ----.

A) the extinction of the Aboriginal people B) the characteristics of Aboriginal migration C) notable stories in Aboriginal history D) the consequences of Western expansion E) the evolution of mankind
