Directions: Read the text about cholera. Decide whether the statements are
True or False according to the text.
A child receives the oral cholera vaccine Shanchol
Cholera is caused by a bacterial infection of the intestine. Approximately one in
20 people infected with cholera has a serious case, with symptoms including
severe diarrhea, vomiting, and leg cramps. These symptoms quickly cause
dehydration and shock, and can result in death within hours if the infected
person doesn't receive treatment. Cholera is typically transmitted by
contaminated food or water. In areas with poor treatment of sewage and
drinking water, the feces of people with cholera can enter the water supply and
spread quickly, resulting in an epidemic. The cholera bacterium may also live in
the environment in some coastal waters, so shellfish eaten raw can be a source
of cholera in affected areas.
18. Cholera is known to be a life-threatening disease which easily causes death
of most of the patients.
True ( ) False ( )
19. Cholera typically occurs in areas near the sea or the river where
contaminated food is a major source of the disease.

Directions: Read the text about Chaco Culture. Answer the questions according
to the text.
The xxxChaco Culturexxx, as modern-day archaeologists call it, flourished
between roughly the 9th and 13th centuries . and was centered at Chaco
Canyon in what is now New Mexico.
The people of the Chaco Culture built immense structures that at times
encompassed more than 500 rooms. They also participated in long-distance
trade that brought cacao, macaws (a type of parrot), turquoise and copper to
Chaco Canyon.
29_______, researchers have to rely on the artifacts and structures they
left behind, as well as oral accounts that have been passed on through
generations, to reconstruct what their lives were like.
Archaeologists generally agree that Chaco Canyon was the center of Chaco
Culture. Today the canyon is a national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The National Park Service estimates that there are about 4,000 archaeological
sites in the park, including more than a dozen immense structures that
archaeologists sometimes call xxxGreat Housesxxx. Archaeological research has
revealed many discoveries, including a system of roads that connected many
Chaco Culture sites, and evidence of astronomical alignments that indicate that
some Chaco Culture structures were oriented toward the solstice sun and lunar
standstills.
“There has been more archaeological research conducted in Chaco and on
the subject of Chaco than on any other prehistoric district in North America,”
says a National Park Service statement posted on Chaco Culture National
Historical Park's website.
xxxToday, twenty Puebloan groups in New Mexico, as well as the Hopi in
Arizona, claim Chaco as their ancestral homeland and are tied to this place
through oral traditions and clan lineages. A number of Navajo clans are also
affiliated with Chacoan sites through their traditional stories,xxx the National Park
Service statement says.
Despite the fact that there has been an immense amount of archaeological
research carried out at Chaco Canyon, and at other Chaco Culture sites in the
American Southwest, modern-day archaeologists disagree over what the
people of the Chaco Culture were like.
Some archaeologists think that the people of the Chaco Culture were not
politically united, while some think they controlled an empire centered on
Chaco Canyon. xxxWhat was Chaco? Opinions vary widely, perhaps wildly.
Interpretations range from a valley of peaceful farming villages to the
monumental capital of an empire,xxx wrote Stephen Lekson, a professor at the
University of Colorado Boulder, in an article published in the book The
Architecture of Chaco Canyon, New Mexico (University of Utah Press, 2007).
Lekson noted that there are different interpretations among archaeologists
as to what the Great Houses were. Some archaeologists believe that they were
villages inhabited by thousands of people, while others think that they were
elite residences that housed a small number of residents.
29. Which of the following best fits in the numbered space in the text?
A. The people of the Chaco Culture did not use a writing system and as such
B. While archaeologists are not certain what caused this dramatic population
bump
C. When thinking about archaeological sites, we tend to think of them as
dead silent
D. Since Chaco's national monument status may not protect it from
development pressures
30. Which of the following statements can we know from the text?
A. The people of the Chaco culture were good at foreign trade.
B. xxxGreat Housesxxx were built from approximately the 9th to 13thcentury .
C. Most descendants of ancient Chaco people live in New Mexico now.
D. Archaeologists hold different ideas about how the people of the Chaco
Culture lived.

13. Many people report that exposure to certain foods and drinks such as
cheese, chocolate, and red wine, is associated with the onset of migraine
headaches. Other people report that exposure to certain smells (especially
strong perfumes) seems to trigger a migraine headache, and some note that
exposure to bright and flickering lights can be followed by a migraine. It would
seem that a person with a tendency to get migraines should try to find out
which of these situations is associated with the onset of the headache and then
avoid this stimulus.

[A]Fashion is more prevalent in modern society than in primitive tribes or
peasant communities. The modern society is an open society where class
distinctions are not so rigid as in primitive society. Its urban and mobile class
structure enables people to cultivate individual taste and adopt new
course. [B]Our standards of judgment have also changed. Today the individual
is rated more by observable externalities than by his ancestry, his character or
his genuine accomplishments. The clothes a man wears, the language he
speaks, the manners he shows have more weight in ascribing a status than his
simplicity, patriotism and integrity.
If he can keep himself up to date in the matters of his dress, speech and
manners, he will assure himself a high social esteem. [C]Not only the mobile and
urban character of modern society but its affluence also speaks for greater
prevalence of fashion in it. Men today are richer than their ancestors and have
more leisure. They have the necessary means and time to play with luxuries and
to think of fashion. Maclver writes: We do not think of fashion in overalls; there
is more of fashion in the body of an automobile than in its chassis. There is no
fashion in steam shovels. [D]Consequently the higher the standard of living the
more material there is for fashion to operate upon.

Directions: Read an excerpt from Discourse on the Method of Rightly
Conducting the Reason and Seeking the Truth in the Sciences. Write a short
essay according to the excerpt.
… And as a multitude of laws often only hampers justice, so that a state is best
governed when, with few laws, these are rigidly administered; in like manner,
instead of the great number of precepts of which logic is composed, I believed
that the four following would prove perfectly sufficient for me, provided I took
the firm and unwavering resolution never in a single instance to fail in
observing them.
The first was never to accept anything for true which I did not clearly know to
be such; that is to say, carefully to avoid precipitancy and prejudice, and to
comprise nothing more in my judgment than what was presented to my mind
so clearly and distinctly as to exclude all ground of doubt.
The second, to divide each of the difficulties under examination into as many
parts as possible, and as might be necessary for its adequate solution.
The third, to conduct my thoughts in such order that, by commencing with
objects the simplest and easiest to know, I might ascend by little and little, and,
as it were, step by step, to the knowledge of the more complex; assigning in
thought a certain order even to those objects which in their own nature do not
stand in a relation of antecedence and sequence.
And the last, in every case to make enumerations so complete, and reviews so
general, that I might be assured that nothing was omitted.
The long chains of simple and easy reasonings by means of which geometers
are accustomed to reach the conclusions of their most difficult demonstrations,
had led me to imagine that all things, to the knowledge of which man is
competent, are mutually connected in the same way, and that there is nothing
so far removed from us as to be beyond our reach, or so hidden that we cannot
discover it, provided only we abstain from accepting the false for the true, and
always preserve in our thoughts the order necessary for the deduction of one
truth from another. And I had little difficulty in determining the objects with
which it was necessary to commence, for I was already persuaded that it must
be with the simplest and easiest to know, and, considering that of all those who
have hitherto sought truth in the sciences, the mathematicians alone have been
able to find any demonstrations, that is, any certain and evident reasons, I did
not doubt but that such must have been the rule of their investigations.
