( 10 points ) The outbreak of swine flu that was first detected in Mexico was declared a global pandemic on June 11 , 2009 , in the first designation by the World Health Organization of a worldwide pandemic in 41 years . The heightened alert came after an emergency meeting with flu experts in Geneva that convened after a sharp rise in cases in Australia , and rising numbers in Britain , Japan , Chile and elsewhere . But the pandemic is " moderate " in severity , according to Margaret Chan , the organization ' s director general , with the overwhelming majority of patients experiencing only mild symptoms and a full recovery , often in the absence of any medical treatment . The outbreak came to global notice in late April 2009 , when Mexican authorities noticed an unusually large number of hospitalizations and deaths among healthy adults . As much of Mexico City shut down at the height of a panic , cases began to crop up in New York City , the southwestern United States and around the world . In the United States , new cases seemed to fade as warmer weather arrived . But in late September 2009 , officials reported there was significant flu activity in almost every state and that virtually all the samples tested are the new swine flu , also known as ( A ) H1 N1 , not seasonal flu . @ Zov & 0 1 In the U .

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Social Media In recent years , social media has become an indispensable part of people ' s lives . It can help people connect with friends and family , share news and photos , and even make new friends . However , like all technologies , socialmedia has its advantages and disadvantages . One advantage of social media is that it can help people stay connected with others . In today ' s busy world , many people don ' t have the time to meet up with friends and family in person . Social media allows people to stay in touch with their loved ones , even if they are miles apart . For example , a person who is studying abroad can use social media to stay connected with their family and friends back home . Another advantage of social media is that it can be a powerful tool for learning and education . Many people use social media to access information and resources that they wouldn ' t otherwise have access to . For example , a student who is studying a foreign language can use social media to connect with native speakers and practice their language skills . However , social media also has its disadvantages . One major disadvantage is that it can be addictive . Many people spend hours scrolling through social media feeds and checking notifications , which can be detrimental to their productivity and mental health . Additionally , social media can be a breeding ground for misinformation and fake news , which can lead to confusion and misunderstandings . Another disadvantage of social media is that it can be a source of cyberbullying and harassment . People can use social media to bully or harass others , and it can be difficult to escape the constant barrage of negative comments and messages . Furthermore , social media platforms may not have adequate measures in place to prevent and address cyberbullying . In conclusion , social media has both advantages and disadvantages . While it can help people stay connected with others and be a powerful tool for learning and education , it can also be addictive and a source of cyberbullying and misinformation . Therefore , it is important for individuals to use social media responsibly and for social media platforms to take steps to address these issues .

Section II : Reading Comprehension Each of the three passages below is followed by some questions . For each question there are four answers . Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions . Put your choice in the ANSWERSHEET . ( 20 points ) Text 1 In May 1989 , space shuttle “ Atlantis ” released in outer space the space probe “ Megallan , ” which is now on her 15 - month and one - billion - kilometer flight to Venus . A new phase in space exploration has begun . The planet Venus is only slightly smaller than Earth ; it is the only other object in the solar system , in fact , that even comes close to earth ' s size . Venus has a similar density , so it is probably made of approximately the same stuff , and it has an atmosphere , complete with clouds . It is also the closest planet to earth , and thus the most similar in distance from the sun . In short , Venus seems to justify its long - held nickname of “ earths twin . ” The surface temperature of Venus reaches some 900 F . Added to that is an atmospheric pressure about 90 times Earth ' s : High overhead in the carbon dioxide ( CO2 ) that passes for air is a layer of clouds , perhaps 10 to 20 miles thick , whose little drops consist mostly of sulfuric acid ( H 2 SO 4 ) . Water is all but nonexistent . Born with so many fundamental similarities to earth , how did Venus get to be so radically different : It is not just an academic matter . For all its extremes , Venus is a valuable laboratory for researchers studying the weather and climate of earth . It has no earth ' s oceans , so the heat transport and other mechanisms are greatly simplified . In addition , the planet Venus takes 243 earth - days to turn once on its axis , so incoming heat from the sun is added and distributed at a more leisurely , observable pace . 16 . Venus is similar to Earth in _ . [ A ] size and density [ B ] distance from the sun [ C ] having atmosphere [ D ] all of the above 17 . The greatest value in studying Venus should be to _ . [ A ] allow us to visit there [ B ] understand Earth better [ C ] find a new source of energy [ D ] promote a new space program 18 . The main idea of this passage is about _ . [ A ] problems of space travel [ B ] scientific methods in space exploration [ C ] the importance of Ve
