Questions 86 to 95 (2 points - 0.2/ each) Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question. Two things explain why a new infectious disease is so alarming. One is that, at first, it spreads exponentially. As tens of cases become hundreds and hundreds become thousands, the mathematics run away with you, conjuring speculation about a health-care collapse, social and economic disruption and a deadly pandemic. The other is profound uncertainty. Sparse data and conflicting reports mean that scientists cannot rule out the worst case –and that lets bad information thrive. So it is with a new corona virus, known as 2019-ncov, which has struck in China. The number of reported cases grew from 282 on January 20th to almost 7,800 just nine days later. In that time four reported cases outside mainland China have multiplied to 105 in 19 territories. Doubt clouds fundamental properties of the disease, including how it is passed on and what share of infected people 4
5. die. Amid the uncertainty, a simulation of a corona virus outbreak by Johns Hopkins University in October, in which 65m people lost their lives, was put about as a prediction. It is not. Those are the right questions, though: will the new virus become a global disease? And how deadly will it be? A definite answer is weeks or months away, but public-health authorities have to plan today. The best guess is that the disease has taken hold in China and there is a high risk that it spreads around the world –it may even become a recurrent seasonal infection. It may turn out to be no more deadly than seasonal influenza, but that would still count as serious. In the short term that would hit the world economy and, depending on how the outbreak is handled, it could also have political effects in China. The outbreak began in December. The repeated mingling of people and animals in China means that viral mutations that infect humans are likely to arise there; and mass migration to cities means that they are likely to spread between people. This virus probably originated in bats and passed through mammals, ending up in Wuhan’s wet market, where wild animals were on sale. Symptoms resemble flu, but can include pneumonia, which may be fatal. About 20% of reported cases are severe, and need hospital care; about 2% of them have been fatal. As yet, there is no vaccine or antiviral treatment. The world has never responded as rapidly to a disease as it has to 2019-ncov. Even so, the virus may still do great harm. As humans encroach on new habitats, farm more animals, gather in cities, travel and warm the planet, new diseases will become more common. One estimate puts their cost at $60 billion a year. Sars, mers, Nipah, Zika, Mexican swine flu: the fever from Wuhan is the latest of a bad bunch. It will not be the last. (adapted from The Economist February 1st 2020, page 9) 86.

Read the text below to decide if each statement is TRUE or FALSE. A SPECIAL VISITOR By Jake Matthews, aged 14 I know some people my age don't really like doing science at school. But 1 go to a big high school where science subjects are really popular amongst the students. We frequently have special days called Science Days at the school, which are organized by our headmaster and all the teachers. On these days, people working in science are invited to come and tell us about their jobs. On the last Science Day we had no idea what was planned for us - but a real working robot came to spend the day with us at school! It was fantastic! 6
7. The robot's name was Gizmo. We were told he was one of the most advanced robots in the world, and we quickly realized he was no ordinary machine. He could do lots of amazing things like walking up and down stairs, waving and even dancing to rock music! He was about the same size as us, with long arms and legs, but apart from that not at all similar to a real person - instead of a face, for example, he had a helmet like a spaceman’s. It was very exciting to come face to face with the latest technology! The company that Gizmo belongs to said it actually took them as long as 20 years to make him, but they think that within another 20 years, he will be as common a sight in homes as a microwave oven. Everyone at my school liked the way Gizmo behaved, as he always said please and thank you, and even fetched our drinks and snacks! He also seemed to know that he needed to stop when one of the students walked in front of him. The funny thing about Gizmo, though, was that he could do so many things, but when we tried to make conversation with him, he didn’t say anything at all. The company that developed the robot hope they can make one that will do complicated things like having discussions, but they think it’s some years away. The whole day with Gizmo was a success. Now lots of us feel we want to go into careers in science and technology - which was just the result our headmaster had wanted. He said the day had been worth all the hard work to arrange it. As for me, I want to become a scientist and learn to make a robot - even better than the one that paid a visit to my school! Extract from 106. The robot was developed very quickly by the company that created him. ______ 107. Jake now wants to own a robot exactly like Gizmo. ______ 108. Jake and his classmates were surprised at the actions that Gizmo the robot could perform. ______ 109. Jake and his classmates were told in advance that a robot was coming to the school. ______ 110.
