PASSAGE TWO (Questions 1-2)

Common types of calendars can be based on the Sun or on the Moon. The solar calendar is based
on the solar year. Since the solar year is 365.2422 days long, solar calendars consist of regular
years of 365 days and have an extra day every fourth year, or leap year, to make up for the
additional fractional amount. In a solar calendar, the waxing and waning of the Moon can take
place at various stages of each month.
The lunar calendar is synchronized to the lunar month rather than the solar year. Since the lunar
month is twenty-nine and a half days long, most lunar calendars have alternating months of
twenty-nine and thirty days. A twelve-month lunar year thus has 354 days, 1 1 days shorter than
a solar year.

PASSAGE TWO (Questions 3-6)

Vaccines are prepared from harmful viruses or bacteria and administered to patients to provide
immunity to specific diseases. The various types of vaccines are classified according to the
method by which they are derived.
The most basic class of vaccines actually contains disease-causing microorganisms that have
been killed with a solution containing formaldehyde. In this type of vaccine, the microorganisms
are dead and therefore cannot cause disease; however, the antigens found in and on the
microorganisms can still stimulate the formation of antibodies. Examples of this type of vaccine
are the ones that fight influenza, typhoid fever, and cholera.
A second type of vaccine contains the toxins produced by the microorganisms rather than the
microorganisms themselves. This type of vaccine is prepared when the microorganism it self
does little damage but the toxin within the microorganism is extremely harmful. For example,
the bacteria that cause diphtheria can thrive in the throat without much harm, but when toxins
are released from the bacteria, muscles can become paralyzed and death can ensue.
A final type of vaccine contains living microorganisms that have been rendered harmless. With
this type of vaccine, a large number of antigen molecules are produced and the immunity that
results is generally longer lasting than the immunity from other types of vaccines. The Sabin oral
antipolio vaccine and the BCG vaccine against tuberculosis are examples of this type of vaccine.
3. Which of the following expresses the main idea of the passage?

a. Vaccines provide immunity to specific diseases.

(c) Is the best answer, which all paragraph mentions the vaccines are delivered
(d) Incorrect, because all paragraph is not discussed about administering vaccines are being
developed.
4. How many types of vaccines are presented in the passage?

a. Two
b. Three
c. Four
d. Five
The best answer is B
(a) Incorrect,
(b) Is the best answer, because based on the passage they mention three types of vacinnes
on each pharagraph 2,3,& 4
(c) Incorrect
(d) Incorrect
5. Click on the paragraph that discusses vaccines made from dead organisms?
“Paragraph 2”
The most basic class of vaccines actually contains disease-causing microorganisms that
have been killed with a solution containing formaldehyde. In this type of vaccine, the
microorganisms are dead and therefore cannot cause disease; however, the antigens
found in and on the microorganisms can still stimulate the formation of antibodies.
6. Click on the paragraph that discusses vaccines that do not contain the diseasecausing
microorganism?
“Paragraph 3”
A second type of vaccine contains the toxins produced by the microorganisms rather than
the microorganisms themselves. This type of vaccine is prepared when the
microorganism itself does little damage but the toxin within the microorganism is
extremely harmful.
PASSAGE THREE (Questions 7-10)

A hoax, unlike an honest error, is a deliberately-concocted plan to present an untruth as the truth.
It can take the form of a fraud, a fake, a swindle, or a forgery, and can be accomplished in almost
any field: successful hoaxes have been foisted on the public in fields as varied as politics,
religion, science, art, and literature.
A famous scientific hoax occurred in 1912 when Charles Dawson claimed to have uncovered a
human skull and jawbone on the Piltdown Common in southern England. These human remains
were said to be more than 500,000 years old and were unlike any other remains from that period;
as such, they represented an important discovery in the study of human evolution. These
remains, popularly known as the Piltdown Man and scientifically named Eoanthropus dawsoni
after their discoverer, confounded scientists for several decades.
It took more than forty years for the hoax to be uncovered. In 1953, a chemical analysis was
used to date the bones, and it was found that the bones were modern bones that had been
skillfully aged. A further twist to the hoax was that the skull belonged to a human and the jaws
to an orangutan.
