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 39 to 43.

The water cannon salute at airports is now well established. These days, there are a few reasons why a
flight might get a water cannon salute. In addition to a captain retiring, a salute might mark an aircraft's
retirement, the arrival of a new aircraft, the arrival of a new airline into an airport, or the last flight out of an
airport by a particular airline.

Essentially, like most salutes, the water cannon salute is a mark of respect. For example, when the last Air
France Concorde took off from New York's JFK Airport on May 31, 2003, three Kennedy firetrucks sprayed an
arc of red, white, and blue water in front of the plane as it taxied to the runway for departure.

LaGuardia Airport gave the then-president-elect Donald Trump a water cannon salute back in 2016. That
was when Mr. Trump had to fly in his own Boeing 757 rather than Air Force One. LaGuardia's gesture was
widely noted because Mr. Trump had recently mentioned LaGuardia when describing his country's airports as
"third world."

While there are protocols and unwritten guidelines, there are no hard and fast rules surrounding water
cannon salutes. Unlike the Delta salute back in the 1990s, water cannon salutes are no longer ad hoc spur of the
moment events. They have to be applied for and approved. Every airport will have different rules and
conditions regarding them.

Question 39: Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. The Last Flight Out of an Airport

B. Use of an Arc of Red, White, and Blue Water

C. Water Cannon Salute at LaGuardia Airport

D. Mark of Respect with A Water Cannon Salute

Question 40: According to the passage, the water cannon salutes ______.

A. have no clear reasons to be applied for a flight

B. show no mark of respect

C. were given to Donald Trump’s Boeing 757 in 2016

D. are ad hoc spur of the moment events

Question 41: The word protocols in paragraph 4 mostly means ______.

A. subjects or situations B. a system of fixed rules

C. acts of paying special attention D. levels of quality

Question 42: The word They in paragraph 4 refers to ______.

A. water cannon salutes B. unwritten guidelines

C. hard and fast rules D. the moment events

Question 43: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. A salute might mark the last flight out of an airport.

B. An arc water was sprayed on the last Air France Concorde.

C. LaGuardia's gesture was not accepted by Mr. Trump.

D. Now water cannon salutes must be approved beforehand.

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 44 to 50.

The impact of vaccination on the incidence of long COVID differs across studies, in part because of
differing study methods, time since vaccination and definitions of long COVID. One study indicated no
significant difference in the development of long COVID between vaccinated individuals and unvaccinated
individuals; other studies indicate that vaccines provide partial protection, with a reduced risk of long COVID
between 15% and 41%, with long COVID continuing to impact 9% of people with COVID-19.

The different SARS-CoV-2 variants and level of (and time since) vaccination may impact the development
of long COVID. The UK’s Office for National Statistics found that long COVID was 50% less common in
double-vaccinated participants with Omicron BA.1 than in double-vaccinated participants Delta, but that there
was no significant difference between triple-vaccinated participants; it also found long COVID was more
common after Omicron BA.2 infection than after BA.1 infection in triple-vaccinated participants, with 9.3%
developing long COVID from infection with the BA.2 variant.

The impact of vaccination on long COVID symptoms in people who had already developed long COVID
differs among patients, with 16.7% of patients experiencing a relief of symptoms, 21.4% experiencing a
worsening of symptoms and the remainder experiencing unchanged symptoms.

Reinfections are increasingly common. The impact of multiple instances of COVID-19, including the rate
of long COVID in those who recovered from a first infection but developed long COVID following reinfection,
and the impact of reinfection on those with pre-existing long COVID is crucial to understand to inform future
policy decisions. Early research shows an increasing risk of long COVID sequelae after the second and third
infection, even in double-vaccinated and triple-vaccinated people. Existing literature suggests multiple
infections may cause additional harm or susceptibility to the ME/CFS-type presentation.
 There is also early evidence that certain immune responses in people with long COVID, including low
levels of protective antibodies and elevated levels of autoantibodies, may suggest an increased susceptibility to
reinfection.

Question 44: Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. Impact of Vaccines, Variants and Reinfections

B. The UK’s Office for National Statistics

C. Patients Experiencing a Relief of Symptoms

D. Certain Immune Responses in People with Long COVID

Question 45: The word significant in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.

Question 46: According to paragraph 1, the impact of vaccination on long COVID ______.

A. requires the same study methods to understand

B. is different from study to study

C. provide partial protection on COVID patients

D. is the same regardless of time since vaccination

Question 47: The word susceptibility in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. availability B. responsibility C. sensibility D. equality

Question 48: The word that in paragraph 5 refers to ______.

A. immune responses B. early evidence C. people D. long COVID

Question 49: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The development of long COVID depends on SARS-CoV-2 variants and level of vaccination.

B. Long COVID was more common after Omicron BA.2 infection.

C. The impact of vaccination on long COVID symptoms remain the same among patients.

D. The impact of multiple instances of COVID-19 is important to make future policy decisions.

Question 50: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. Good and suitable vaccines can provide complete protection.

B. Double-vaccinated participants may avoid long COVID.

C. Risk of long COVID stay unchanged after the second and third infection.
D. Long COVID depends on the impact of vaccines, variants and reinfections.
