1. 5. 6. 7. 8. III. READING. Choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best completes the unfinished statement about the passage (2,0pts) PASSAGE A (1.0pt)
B. do not always cause symptoms in birds D. change when transmitted from animals to man
B. All the different strains can be found in wild birds. D. It can survive in many different places.
B. animal and bird viruses are combined D. two viruses of the same type are contracted
Scientists have established that influenza viruses taken from man can cause disease in animals. In addition, man can catch the diseases from animals. In fact, a greater number of wild birds seem to carry the virus without showing any evidence of illness. Some scientists conclude that a large family of influenza virus may have evolved in the bird kingdom, a group that has been on earth 100 million years and is able to carry the virus without contracting the disease. There is even convincing evidence to show that virus strains are transmitted from place to place and from continent to continent by migrating birds. It is known that two influenza viruses can recombine when both are present in an animal at the same time. The result of such recombination is a great variety of strains containing different H and N spikes. This raises the possibility that a human influenza virus can recombine with an influenza virus from a lower animal to produce an entirely new spike. Research is underway to determine if that is the way major new strains come into being. Another possibility is that two animal influenza strains may recombine in a pig, for example, to produce a new strain which is transmitted to man. 1. According to the passage, scientists have discovered influenza viruses ______. A. cause ill health in wild animals C. are rarely present in wild birds 2. What is known about the influenza virus? A. It was first found in a group of very old birds. C. It existed over 100 million years ago. 3. According to the passage, a great variety of influenza strains can appear when______. A. H and N spikes are produced C. dissimilar types of viruses recombine 4. It can be inferred from the passage that all of the following are ways of producing new strains of influenza EXCEPT_______. A. two influenza viruses in the same animal recombining B. animal viruses recombining with human viruses C. two animal viruses recombining D. two animal viruses recombining in a human 2. PASSAGE B (1.0 pt)
Several hundred million years ago, plants similar to modern ferns covered vast stretches of the land. Some were as large as trees, with giant fronds bunched at the top of trunks as straight as pillars. Others were the size of bushes and formed thickets of undergrowth. Still others lived in the shade of giant club mosses and horsetails along the edges of swampy lagoons where giant amphibians swam.
A great number of these plants were true ferns, reproducing themselves without fruits or seeds. Others had only the appearance of ferns. Their leaves had organs of sexual reproduction and produced seeds. Although their “flowers” did not have corollas, these false ferns (today completely extinct) ushered in the era

of flowering plants. Traces of these floras of the earliest times have been preserved in the form of fossils. Such traces are most commonly found in shale and sandstone rocks wedged between coal beds.
Today only tropical forests bear living proof of the ancient greatness of ferns.
