For each blank, there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D on the right side. Choose the best answer and mark the letter of your choice on the ANSWER SHEET. For years, scientists have been warning us that the radiation from mobile phones is detrimental to our health, without actually having any evidence to back these _51_ up. However, research now suggests that mobile phone radiation has at least one positive side effect: it can help prevent Alzheimers, _52_ in the mice that acted as test subjects.Its been suspected, though never proven, that heavy use of mobile phones is bad for your health. Its thought that walking around with a cellphone permanently attached to the side of your head is almost sure to be _53_ your brain. And that may well be true, but Id rather wait until its proven before giving up that part of my daily life.But what has now been proven, in a very perfunctory manner, is that mobile phone radiation can have an effect on your brain. _54_ in this case it was a positive rather than negative effect.According to BBC news, the Florida Alzheimers Disease Research Center conducted a study on 96 mice to see if the radiation given off by mobile phones could affect the onset of Alzheimers.Some of the mice were “genetically altered to develop beta-amyloid plaques in their brains” _55_ they aged. These are a marker of Alzheimers. all 96 mice were then “exposed to the electro-magnetic _56_ generated by a standard phone for two one-hour periods each day for seven to nine months.” The lucky things._57_ the experiment showed that the mice altered to be predisposed to dementia were protected from the disease if exposed before the onset of the illness. Their cognitive abilities were so unimpaired as to be virtually _58_ to the mice not genetically altered in any way.Unfortunately, although the results are positive, the scientists dont actually know why exposure to mobile phone radiation has this effect. But its hoped that further study and testing could result in a non-invasive _59_ for preventing and treating Alzheimers disease.Autopsies carried out on the mice also concluded no ill-effects of their exposure to the radiation. However, the fact that the radiation prevented Alzheimers means mobile phones _60_ our brains and bodies in ways not yet explored. And its sure there are negative as well as this one positive.51.

A. do affectB. did affectC. is affectingD. could have affectedPart IV Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: In this part there are six passages, each of which is followed by five questions. For each question there are four possible answers marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer and mark the letter of your choice on the ANSWER SHEET. Passage oneI have just returned from Mexico, where I visited a factory making medical masks. Faced with fierce competition, the owner has cut his costs by outsourcing some of his production. Scores of people work for him in their homes, threading elastic into masks by hand. They are paid below the minimum wage, with no job security and no healthcare provision.Users of medical masks and other laboratory gear probably give little thought to where their equipment comes from. That needs to change. A significant proportion of these products are made in the developing world by low-paid people with inadequate labor rights. This leads to human misery on a tremendous scale.Take lab coats. Many are made in India, where most cotton farmers are paid an unfair price for their crops and factory employees work illegal hours for poor pay.One-fifth of the worlds surgical instruments are made in northern Pakistan. When I visited the area a couple of years ago I found most workers toiling 12 hours a day, seven days a week, for less than a dollar a day, exposed to noise, metal dust and toxic chemicals. Thousands of children, some as young as 7, work in the industry.To win international contracts, factory owners must offer rock-bottom prices, and consequently drive down wages and labor conditions as far as they can. We laboratory scientists in the developed world may unwittingly be encouraging this: we ask how much our equipment will cost, but whic
