Section c: reading and speaking

<b>I. Read the passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C or D. </b>

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 the public to aid health workers. One by one, each smallpox victim was sought out, 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.

39. 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 diseases.

40. What was the goal of the campaign against smallpox?
A. To eliminate smallpox worldwide in ten years.
B. To decrease the spread of the smallpox worldwide .
C. To provide mass vaccinations against smallpox worldwide.

D. To initiate worldwide projects for smallpox, malaria, and yellow fever at the same time.
41. According to the passage, what was the strategy used to eliminate the spread of smallpox ?
A. Vaccinations of entire village B. Treatment of individual victims.
C. Isolation of victims and mass vaccinations. D. Extensive reporting of outbreaks.

42. How was the public motivated to help the health workers?

A. By educating them. B. By rewarding them for reporting cases.
C. By isolating them from others. D. By giving them vaccinations.

43. When was the formal announcement made that smallpox had been eradicated?
A. 1996 B. 1976 C. 1978 D. 1980
