Write your answers (A, B, C or D) in the spaces given below. (10 points)
Smallpox was the first widespread disease to be eliminated by human intervention. In May, 1966,
the World Health Organization (WHO), an agency of The United Nations was authorized to initiate a
global campaign to eradicate smallpox. The goal was to eliminate the disease in one decade. At the time,
the disease posed a serious threat to people in more than thirty nations. Because similar projects for
malaria and yellow fever had failed, few believed that smallpox could actually be eradicated but eleven
years after the initial organization of the campaign no cases were reported in the field.
The strategy was not only to provide mass vaccinations but also to isolate patients with active
smallpox in order to contain the spread of the disease and to break the chain of human transmission.
Rewards for reporting smallpox assisted in motivating removed from contact with others and treated. At
the same time, the entire village where the victim had lived was vaccinated.
By April of 1978 WHO officials announced that they had isolated the last known case of the
disease but health workers continued to search for new cases for two additional years to be completely
sure. In May, 1980, a formal statement was made to the global community. Today smallpox is no longer
a threat to humanity. Routine vaccinations have been stopped worldwide.
1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? ________
A. The World Health Organization B. The Eradication of Smallpox
C. Smallpox Vaccinations D. Infectious Disease
Page 4 of 6

A. debate B. humiliation C. risk D. bother

A. to decrease the spread of smallpox worldwide.
B. to eliminate smallpox worldwide in ten years.

D. to initiate worldwide projects for smallpox, malaria, and yellow fever at the same time.
4. According to the passage, what was the strategy used to eliminate the spread of smallpox? ________
A. Vaccinations of entire villages
B. Treatments of individual victims
C. Isolation of victims and mass vaccinations
D. Extensive reporting of outbreak

TAPESCRIPT 1 – Town Library

OK everyone. So here we are at the entrance to the town library. My name is Ann, and I’m the chief
librarian here, and you’ll usually find me at the desk just by the main entrance here. So I’d like to tell
you a bit about the way the library is organised, and what you’ll find where … and you should all have a
plan in front of you. Well, as you see my desk is just on your right as you go in, and opposite this the
first room on your left has an excellent collection of reference books and is also a place where people
can read or study peacefully. Just beyond the librarian’s desk on the right is a room where we have up to
date periodicals such as newspapers and magazines and this room also has a photocopier in case you
want to copy any of the articles. If you carry straight on you’ll come into a large room and this is the
main library area. There is fiction in the shelves on the left, and non-fiction materials on your right, and
on the shelves on the far wall there is an excellent collection of books relating to local history. We’re
hoping to add a section on local tourist attractions too, later in the year. Through the far door in the
library just past the fiction shelves is a seminar room, and that can be booked for meetings or talks, and
next door to that is the children’s library, which has a good collection of stories and picture books for
the under elevens. Then there’s a large room to the right of the library area – that’s the multimedia
collection, where you can borrow videos and DVDs and so on, and we also have CD-Roms you can
borrow to use on your computer at home. It was originally the art collection but that's been moved to
another building. And that’s about it – oh, there’s also the Library Office, on the left of the librarian’s
desk. OK, now does anyone have any questions?

TAPESCRIPT 2 – The Boat Race

The Boat Race takes place in London every year in the spring. It is a race between two team-one from
Oxford University and the other from Cambridge University. Each team has eight rowers and a ‘cox’,
the person who shouts instruction to the rowers and the steers the boat.
The rowers are usually very big and strong (often about 200 centimetres tall), but the cox is usually
small and light so that the boat doesn’t have to carry much extra weight.
The teams spend months preparing for the race. They begin training in September. Then, in December,
there are practice races-but not between Oxford and Cambridge. Teams from the same university
compete in practice races so that they can choose the best rowers for the ‘big’ race in the spring.

Page 9 of 6
The race takes place along the river Thames, in the West London. The course is 6779 metres from start
to finish. It is an extremely popular event. Every year, about 250000 spectators watch the race from the
banks of the river, and about half a billion people around the world watch it on TV.
