B) different countries are reluctant to help each other

PassageWork.COM

Fusion is arguably the perfect way to power the world.

For one thing, there is enough fusion fuel to supply all of
the world's energy needs for millions of years.
Furthermore, it produces no environmentally damaging
wastes, no carbon dioxide emissions and there could be
no accidents that require evacuating the population
surrounding a fusion power plant. Fusion plants would
also not need significant land area, and fusion fuels
(lithium and deuterium) are available in seawater.
Unfortunately, it is hard to make fusion work. Indeed,
after more than 60 years of fusion research, no device
has yet made more energy than it consumes. ITER, the
next fusion machine and the first to be built as an
international collaboration, is designed to demonstrate
the scientific feasibility of net energy production. It is
expected that ITER will produce about 500MW of fusion
power 10 times the input power. Just as importantly, it
will show how to integrate the many cutting-edge
technologies required for efficient and reliable future
power station designs. Put simply, it is the big step
needed to prove the viability of fusion as a commercial
energy source. Unfortunately, ITER's construction
expenses have risen from about 5bn to over 13bn
and the cost overruns have prompted some to question
why chasing nuclear fusion is a priority. How sure are
we that ITER will work? Could this money be spent
more wisely in other areas of energy research, such as
renewables or new fission?

A) can be perilous with regard to the people who

out in projects like ITER due to their high costs and

low possibility of success

C) there will be more expensive projects like ITER

since it has failed to solve the energy problem

D) if fusion power is given more time, it will undeniably

be put into use at the projected scale that can

E) the questions whether ITER will succeed are still

A) the endeavours of health professionals may not be

systematic as long as it provides the necessary
treatment

Treatment of children with rheumatic diseases is

complicated. The efforts of a team of health care
professionals need to be melded into a well-regulated
system of care that is individualized to meet the needs
of each patient and that is sensitive to the capabilities
and psychosocial resources of each family. In addition,
the rheumatic diseases are not static targets. In each
child, disease manifestations vary in severity over time,
and treatment needs to be adjusted accordingly. The
therapeutic program must provide active treatments for
currently symptomatic problems, such as arthritis, and
must also include appropriate screening methods for
often clinically silent problems such as uveitis in patients
with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and early nephritis in
patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Nor should
the treatment regimen focus only on the child with the
rheumatic disease. When rheumatic disease afflicts a
child, all family members are affected. Indeed, studies
have indicated that siblings of a child with a rheumatic
disease are often more adversely affected psychosocially
than the patient. Several studies have shown that the
emotional status of the parents at the time of diagnosis
of rheumatic disease in their child is one of the strongest
predictors of treatment outcomes 5-10 years later.

B) the treatment schedule should only focus on the

child with the rheumatic disease

C) children with rheumatic diseases should be treated

PassageWork.COM

Though the situation in labour markets is dire today, it

could have been worse - had it not been for policy
responses by governments during the Great Recession.
At the onset of the recession, most central banks quickly
lowered their policy interest rates. Governments also
allowed the decline in their tax revenues to show
through in increases in their fiscal deficits. And to add to
that, many countries provided a fiscal stimulus, and one
that was internationally coordinated across countries
under the auspices of the Group of 20 (G-20) countries.
These policy responses may have kept the Great
Recession from turning into the next Great Depression.
Beyond these common macroeconomic policy
responses, countries differed in the extent to which they
used more policies targeted more directly at the labour
market. One of the key policies adopted in Germany,
Italy and Japan was to provide government financial
assistance to encourage companies to keep workers at
their jobs but reduce their working hours and wages.
Such short-time work programs can spread the burden
of the downturn more evenly across workers and
employers, reduce future hiring costs and protect
workers human capital until the labour market recovers.
While it is too early to undertake a full assessment,
these programs are credited with having played a
crucial role in dampening the increase in unemployment
in many countries.

A) many countries complained about their not being so

notion that was held in the beginning, ----.

55. - 58. sorular aadaki paraya gre

A) social networking is poised to invade even more

Not so long ago the Internet was presumed to be an

unrelieved social backwater. Nearly all the initial studies
about people who used the Internet for social interaction
suggested that they were getting lonelier. Those studies
were predicated on the notion that people used the
Internet to replace face-to-face interactions and that
relationships formed online would stay online. For
disabled users who could not get around that practice
worked well, but for others, it didnt. A person could not
even know for sure who was really on the other end of
the line. Psychology research focused on this scene
with critical eyes, often dismissing online socializing as
lonely escapism from the disquiet of real relationships.
However, this dire view of social networking began to
change as research grew more nuanced. Neither total
amount of time spent online nor time spent

A) will steadily continue to rise unless steps are taken

For nearly 10,000 years -since the dawn of civilization

and Holocene era- our world seemed unimaginably
large. Vast frontiers of land and ocean offered infinite
sources. Humans could pollute freely, and they could
avoid any local repercussions simply by moving
elsewhere. People built entire empires and economic
systems on their ability to exploit what seemed to be
inexhaustible riches, never realizing that the privilege
would come to an end. But thanks to advances in public
health, the industrial revolution and later green
revolution, population has surged from about one billion
in 1800 to nearly seven billion today. In the past 50
years alone, our numbers have more than doubled.
Fuelled by affluence, our use of resources has also
reached staggering levels; in 50 years, the global
consumption of food and freshwater has more than
tripled, and fossil-fuel use has risen fourfold. This
wanton growth has also expanded pollution from a local
problem to a global assault.

73. Some physicists say that people do not need to

powerful particle accelerator ever built. ---- To the
contrary, many physicists actually hope very much
that the LHC will indeed produce black holes, too

the LHC may be the only way scientists can learn

75. Profits are vital to the economic system of the

United States, Canada, and other countries where
private enterprise is encouraged. In such countries,
profits belong to the owners of companies or the
stockholders of corporations. ---- The desire for
profits motivates companies to produce their goods
efficiently. This is because the lower a company's
costs are, the greater its profits can be.

78. (I) While the distribution of blood types and abnormalities

was the first evolutionary pattern identified among
recent human populations, perhaps the most famous is
peoples ability to digest milk beyond infancy. (II) Around
30 percent of the calories in milk from humans and all
other mammals come from a sugar called lactose, and
to make use of the energy stored in lactose, the digestive
system must be able to break it down into its two
chemical subunits, galactose and glucose. (III) This
chemical reaction is catalysed by the enzyme lactase,
the gene for which is shared across all mammals.
(IV) Regular consumption of milk by an adult can
sometimes spur a minimal amount of lactase production,
but drinking a large amount of milk or other lactosecontaining dairy products can cause severe digestive
distress. (V) In most species, however, lactase is only
expressed in young prior to weaning, leaving adults
unable to digest lactose.
