DIRECTIONS: In
the following passage, you have one brief passage with 5 questions following
the passage. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each
question out of the four alternatives.
Q8: PASSAGE
Every
profession of trade, every art and every science has its technical vocabulary,
the function of which is partly to designate things or processes which have no
names in ordinary English and partly to secure greater exactness in
nomenclature. Such special dialects or jargons are necessary in technical
discussion of any kind. Being universally understood by the devotees of the
particular science or art, they have the precision of a mathematical formula.
Besides, they save time, for it is much more economical to name a process than
to describe it. Thousands of these technical terms are very properly included
in every large dictionary, yet, as a whole, they are rather on the outskirts of
the English language than actually within its borders. Different occupations,
however, differ widely in the character of their special vocabularies. In
trades and handicrafts and other vocations like farming and fishing that have
occupied great numbers of men from remote times, the technical vocabulary is
very old. An average man now uses these in his own vocabulary. The special
dialects of law, medicine, divinity and philosophy have become familiar to
cultivated persons
1. Special words
used in technical discussion
(a) may become
part of common speech
(b) never last
long
(c) should
resemble mathematical formula
(d) should be
confined to scientific fields

this article is
(a) a scientist
(b) a politician
(c) a linguist
(d) a businessman

is primarily concerned with
(a) various
occupations and professions
(b) technical
terminology
(c) scientific
undertakings
(d) a new
language
4. It is true
that
(a) various
professions and occupations often interchange words
(b) there is always
a non-technical word that may be substituted for the technical word
(c) the average
man often uses in his own vocabulary what was once technical language not emant
for him
(d) everyone is
interested in scientific findings
5. In recent
years, there has been a marked increase in the number of technical terms in the
nomenclature of
(a) Farming (b)
Fishing
(c) Sports (d)

Q9: Passage: In May 1966,
The World Health Organisation was authorised to initiate a global campaign to
eradicate small pox. The goal was to eradicate the disease in one decade.
Because similar projects for malaria and yellow fever had failed, few believed
that smallpox could actually be eradicated, but eleven years after the initial
organisation of the campaign, no cases were reported in the field. The strategy
was not only to provide mass vaccinations, but also to isoate patients with
active small-pox in order to contain
the
spread of the disease and to break the chain of human transmission. Rewards for
reporting small-pox assisted in motivating the public to aid health workers.
One by one, each small-pox 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. Today small pox is no longer a threat to humanity.
Routine vaccinations have been stopped worldwide.

goal of the campaign against small-pox?
(a) To decrease

mass vaccinations against small-pox worldwide.
(d) To initiate
worldwide projects for small-pox, malaria and yellow fever at the same time.
3. According to
the paragraph what was the strategy used to eliminate the spread of small-pox?
(a) Vaccination
of the entire village
(b) Treatment of
individual victims.
(c) Isolation of
victims and mass vaccinations
(d) Extensive
reporting of out breaks
4. Which
statement doesn't refer to small-pox?

projects had failed.
(b) People are
no longer vaccinated for it.

Q11-Passage: If
