Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 71 to 75.
It was a Devonshire farmer called Ben Jesty, who lived more than two hundred years ago, who began the
development of vaccination as a method of protecting people against many diseases. In 1774 there was a
severe outbreak of the disease smallpox in his local village. He already knew of the traditional belief that
an attack of cowpox gave people protection against smallpox and he saw proof of this at this time. Two of
his farm workers had previously developed cowpox sores on their hands through milking infected cows
and had then nursed their own families through the smallpox outbreak without catching the disease
themselves.
Jesty had already had cowpox, but his wife and their two young children had not. Concerned for their
safety, he scratched their arms with a large needle and then put fluid from the cowpox sores on an
infected cow into these scratches. Although the Jesty family were criticized by local people who thought
that this experiment' was morally wrong, they never caught smallpox.


But the real breakthrough came some twenty years later in 1796 when Edward Jenner, an English country

A. adopted very rapidly throughout the world.
B. successful in getting rid of smallpox in his lifetime.
C. too advanced for people to accept at the time.
D. neglected for almost two hundred years.
Câu 75: Why did the word 'vaccine' come into use?
A. 'Vaccine' was the traditional country name for smallpox.
B. The earliest 'vaccine' was used to protect cows.

D. wicked.


C. The first child to be treated with a 'vaccine' was called Vaccinof.
D. The Latin name for cowpox was 'vaccinia'.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 76 to 80.
Airline pilots have high social status and earn a great deal of money. Air hostesses have an uncertain
status and earn little. For those recently qualified, the basic pay in some airlines is as little as £300 a
month, and there are always some who will describe them as 'glorified waitresses in the sky'. This is little
to balance against the possibility of a hijack or a disaster.
So why do they do it?
I went to see Diane Humphreys. Senior Hostess with Dan-Air at Manchester Airport, to try to find the
answer to this question. Mrs Humphreys is responsible for all Dan-Air's cabin staff based at the airport
and is also involved in their selection. She has had the job for 16 years. Before that she was an ordinary
air hostess for six years.
One reason why air hostesses don't get over-anxious about flying may be that they're so busy, before,
during and after a flight. I asked Mrs Humphreys to tell me what a typical summer timetable for a hostess
would be. She said that four or five flights a week during die summer is not uncommon.
'On a Monday morning, a hostess might have an early morning flight; perhaps at 1 a.m. She has to check
in 1/2 hours before the flight - maybe at half past five - that might mean leaving home at 4 a.m. Before
the flight, hostesses have to prepare the cabin and toilets and make sure that the food and drinks are


Câu 79: What does being on relief duty involve?
A. remaining near a telephone all the time
B. staying at the airport for the day

D. telephoning the airport every 1 1/2 hours
Câu 80: According to this passage, the job of an air hostess is
A. glamorous

B. boring
