➧ TEXT I:

Boots, belts, glasses, purses and other items land in a plastic tray. It’s a procedure frequent flyers are painfully familiar with, one of those things that are deemed necessary to get from point A to point B by air. “People increasingly expect to be treated like cattle at airports,” says the executive director of a human rights group. “What we have seen over the years is a large level of security theatre, and more worryingly ridiculous technologies being deployed with little thought.”

But security experts believe the ever-evolving technologies are justified. The senior vice president of a leading security screening and imaging firm says that security technology and screening methods simply must continue “to adapt to changing threats.”

Airport security is one of the least popular aspects of travel, according to a passenger survey conducted by the 16 International Air Transport Association (IATA). Airports have realised this, and some are now making efforts to make the experience of being touched, scanned and having your suitcase 19 rummaged through as painless as possible, while maintaining the same level of scrutiny.

It also didn’t take long for people to wonder just how  much the scanners were actually seeing, especially after the media published a picture of the head of the Transportation Security Administration’s research lab which showed her being scanned and appearing rather nude. It was an eye-opener for many, and privacy groups took up the cause. Soon officials acknowledged that the technology had to be tuned down a bit 28 in the USA and several other countries.

According to the previous text, judge the following items.

01. Some airports are concerned with easing distress passengers have to go through during inspection.

02. People who regularly travel by air are not surprised by the security procedures.

03. A member of a human rights group and a representative of a security firm have similar points of view.

04. The word ‘changing’ (R.13) conveys the idea that threats are constantly evolving.

➧ TEXT II:

El Niño (The boy) is mostly likely to continue during the summer of 2015, according to new estimates for the Northern Hemisphere from the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center. What can you expect in El Niño conditions? Warmer sea-surfaces that could send floods to South America, potentially impacting farmers and confounding food production, among other things.

According to the text,

05. the effects of El Niño phenomena are sure to reach South America before they have impact on the Northern Hemisphere.

➧ TEXT III:

With Ebola nearly stamped out in West Africa, vaccine trials will probably fail to provide enough useful data on how well they protect people against the deadly virus, the WHO (World Health Organization) said on Tuesday.

“The best news is we are going to zero cases, there is absolutely no doubt about that,” said WHO researcher J. Kieny. 7 But two experimental Ebola vaccines being tested on volunteers may not yield sufficient data on efficacy as case numbers fall, Kieny said.

“It is not clear whether it will be possible to have even a hint of efficacy from these two vaccines,” she said, noting that they already had been proven safe. “To have efficacy we must see if people are actually protected, as the number of cases is going down it is not clear whether there will be a strong robust answer to this question at the end of epidemic,” she said.

The WHO, a United Nations agency, hosted a two-day experts’ meeting on Ebola research and development after the 19 world’s largest epidemic that has killed more than 11,000 since December 2013.

Consultations will be held in coming months on issues including developing protocols, data sharing and storing biological material including the virus and blood serum of patients, Kieny said.

Based on the previous text, judge the following items.

06. The word ‘robust’ (R.15) can be correctly replaced by effective without this bringing any change of meaning to the sentence.

07. The world had never witnessed an ebola epidemic of such magnitude as the one mentioned in the text.

08. The WHO mentioned has no intention of keeping biological material related to the disease.

09. The West region of Africa is totally free from the Ebola virus.

10. Even though the vaccines could be tested, the results may not be useful to assess their efficacy.
