Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the

questions.

Diseases are a natural part of life on earth. If there were no diseases, the population would grow too

quickly, and there would not be enough food or other resources, so in a way, diseases are natural ways of

keeping the Earth in balance. But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of people.

For example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing over 25 million people in

only six months. Such terrible outbreaks of a disease are called pandemics.

Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight. In

1918, a new type of flu virus appeared. Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread

very quickly and killed large numbers of people. While there have been many different pandemic diseases

throughout history, all of them have a new thing in common.

First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily. Second, while they may

kill many people, they generally do not kill people very quickly. A good example of this would be the

Marburg virus. The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease. In addition, it is deadly. About 70 -

80% of all people who got the Marburg virus died from the disease. However, the Marburg virus has not

become a pandemic because most people die within three days of getting the disease. This means that the

virus does not have enough time to spread to a large number of people. The flu virus of 1918, on the other

hand, generally took about a week to ten days to kill its victims, so it had more time to spread.

While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common.

A. new diseases like SARS or the Marburg virus.

B. deadly kind of flu in the world.

C. diseases with no cure up to the present.

D. diseases that spread quickly and kill large numbers of people.

Question 27: According to the passage, what causes pandemics?

A. Population growth that the world cannot support.

B. The failure to make new medicines.

C. Changes in a disease that the body cannot fight.

D. Careless doctors who do not watch the spread of disease.

Question 28: According to the passage, all of the following are true of the 1918 flu pandemic

EXCEPT_____

A. it killed over 25 million people. B. it took a little over a week to kill its victims.

C. it was the last pandemic in history. D. it involved a new kind of flu virus.

A. pandemics. B. flu virus. C. disease. D. bodies.
