Malaria will kill about 438,000 people this year, most of them in sub-Saharan Africa. That large number is tragic, but it still represents an improvement over earlier decades. The death rate of the mosquito-borne disease has fallen by 60 percent since 2000 and the rate of infection is down 37 percent, according to a recent report by the World Health Organization and Unicef. This progress shows what can be achieved when the world makes a serious attempt to deal with a major public health problem. Now, the United Nations and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are calling on the world to eradicate the disease by 2040, potentially saving 11 million lives in the next 25 years. They say this goal can be achieved for between $90 billion and $120 billion and would produce economic benefits of $2 trillion. Eliminating malaria by 2040 is very optimistic. Some medical experts who have worked on the disease are sceptical of that ambitious goal because it relies on medical advances like a single-dose cure and an effective vaccine that may not be available for years. In their report, the United Nations and the Gates Foundation argue that such breakthroughs will be available in time to meet the target. 76. How are the ideas in paragraph 2 and 3 related? A. Paragraph 2 and 3 highlight the same idea

Indeed, it is often hard enough to educate children without ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), but to engage and maintain the attention of a child with autism when trying to teach them about something in which they have no interest can seem, at times, nigh or impossible. Kids with ASD may require very specialized teaching methods in order to combat sensory issues, difficulties in focusing on things which have no real interest for them, communication problems, and possibly attention deficiency. These problems may lead many to believe that the child is stupid or unskilled, and a lack of socially interactive skills on the part of the autistic child does nothing to help this illusion. The perception is that children who cannot get along with school cannot get along in the real world. As everyone who has witnessed the wonderful work of The Art of Autism know, this perception is entirely unfair. Autistic children are not unskilled. It is merely that their skills manifest in different ways to those of other children, and they are often not easily induced to demonstrate them. 80. Which options best complete (1)? A. Some people thinks that educating children is never easy

Changes in the Arctic climate are important because the Arctic acts as a refrigerator for the rest of the world. The Arctic region gives off more heat to space than it absorbs from outside, which helps cool the planet. So changes in the Arctic climate could affect the climate in the rest of the world. Arctic warming is causing changes to sea ice, snow cover, and the extent of permafrost in the Arctic. In the first half of 2010, air temperatures in the Arctic were 4°C warmer than the 1968 to 1996 reference period, according to NOAA. Satellite data show that over the past 30 years, Arctic sea ice cover has declined by 30 percent in September, the month that marks the end of the summer melt season. Satellite data also show that snow cover over land in the Arctic has decreased, and glaciers in Greenland and northern Canada are retreating. In addition, frozen ground in the Arctic has started to thaw out. Scientists first started to see changes in the Arctic climate in 1970s and 1980s. Researchers say that the changes in the Arctic are worrisome, because they could lead to feedback effects that spur further warming. For instance, when the white sea

ice melts in summer, areas of dark open water are exposed which can absorb more heat from the sun. That extra heat then helps melt even more ice. Permafrost may also be involved in feedbacks. As permafrost thaws, plants and animals that were frozen in the ground begin to decay. When they decay, they release carbon dioxide and methane back to the atmosphere that contributes to further warming. Scientists have already seen evidence that positive feedbacks are occurring in the Arctic. They call this Arctic amplification. Predicting the Arctic climate is difficult. Some of the changes in the Arctic could also have negative feedback effects, or effects that reduce the amount of warming. For example, if warm temperatures make the Arctic growing season longer, more plants can survive and take up more carbon from the air. However, most evidence suggests that the positive feedback effects outweigh the negative effects. A recent report by NOAA concluded that Arctic climate is unlikely to return to previous conditions. 84. With the statement “However, most evidence suggests that the positive feedback effects outweigh the negative effects.” in the last paragraph, the authors intends to .... A. explore all the feedbacks from the Arctic warming to the surrounding environment B. show that the Arc tic warming brings positive effect to the growing season C. emphasize that the accelerated warming in the Arctic is due to positive feedback D. explain the method that is used to predict- ing the Arctic climate E. argue that the Arctic warming give more damages to the plants Jawaban : C 85.

Which of the following obviously shows the author’s bias? A. The scientists found many difficulties on predicting the Arctic climate B. Warm temperature make more plants can take up carbon from the air C. The positive feedback of the Arctic warming is greater than the negative one D. The Arctic climate is unlikely to return to its previous conditions E. Snow cove on the Arctic land has decreased and started to thaw out Jawaban : B 87. Which lines of the passage illustrate the posi- tive feedback of The Arctic Warming? A. 2 – 3 B. 7 – 9 C. 11 – 12 D. 20 – 21 E. 23 – 24 Jawaban : C

This text is for questions 88 to 90! A trio of researchers has presented their preliminary findings regarding a mitochondrial DNA study they have undertaken as part of an effort to learn more about the domestication history of the modern house cat. Evolutionary geneticist Eva-Maria Geigl gave the presentation at this year’s International Symposium on Biomolecular Archaeology at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. To learn more about the ancestry of the common house cat, the researchers (which also included colleagues Thierry Grange and Claudio Ottoni) obtained mitochondrial DNA samples of 209 cats from multiple archaeological sites around the world—the ages of the remains ranged from approximately 15,000 years ago to just 300 years ago. After sequencing the samples, the researchers made some interesting discoveries surrounding the history of cats partnering with humans. The first was that there appeared to be two big migration waves—the first occurred not long after the development of agriculture by humans and the second shortly after the domestication of cats in ancient Egypt. The researchers suggest that the first wave was likely the result of small cats coming into contact with humans due to hunting the increased populations of rodents consuming the grains they grew—the researchers found a link between cats in the Fertile Crescent and other parts of the Mediterranean. The second wave occurred several thousand years later and appeared to be driven by human migrations out of Egypt—the researchers found links between cats there and throughout Eurasia and parts of Africa—likely due, the team suggests, to farmers and seafaring travellers taking cats with them to reduce rat and mouse populations. There were a couple of other surprises as well—one was that the fierce Vikings apparently had a soft spot for little kitties—one of them was found buried alongside its master in a common grave site that was dated back 1000 years. The other was that tabby cats did not evolve until mediaeval times. The researchers noted during their talk that little research has been conducted regarding the domestication of cats, unlike dogs, which means that little is known about their history. They hope their research will be the beginning of a much larger effort. 88. Which of the following is most relevant with the idea of the ancestry of the common house cat described in the passage? A. Migration was giving a less significant role on cat domestication B. Mitochondrial DNA study revealed the cat domestication history C. Small cats first contacted with humans due to hunting the rodents D. Agr iculture ac tivities influenced the domestication of the house cat E. The ancestors of the common house cat were coming from Egypt Jawaban : D 89. Which of the following best restates ideas of paragraph 3? A. The first wave of cat domestication was the small cats coming into contact with humans, while the second wave was driven by human migrations

There is a relation between modern house cat in Egypt and throughout Eurasia and parts of Africa D. Both the first wave and the second wave of the domestication of modern house cat were occurred at Egypt E. Cats moved to the other places because human took cats with them to reduce rat and mouse populations Jawaban : B 90. Paragraph 4 implies that .... A. some studies on cat domestication are urged to be conducted B. the researchers were giving a note to the audience during their talk C. there are only a few researches on cat domestication history D. a larger effort is needed on the next re- search of cat domestication E. the research publication of cat domestica- tion history is fewer than dog Jawaban : C
