Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:

In the old days, divers used to go down into the sea looking for ships that had sunk, because

they hoped to find gold and jewels. Now divers still search for valuable things in sunken ships, but

they also try to bring to the surface the ships themselves, or parts of them. The value of different

kinds of metals has increased greatly over the last twenty or thirty years and even though a ship has

been under the sea for many years, it may be worth a great deal. One famous sunken ship is the

“Lusitania”, which sank off the southern coast of Ireland in 1915 with a loss of nearly, 1,500 lives.

It has four huge propellers made of an expensive metal. Today each of those propellers is worth

$ 300,000 or more. The ship lying on the sea-bed has been brought by a man called John Light. He

paid about $ 1,200,000 for the whole ship. He hopes to bring up those propellers and sell them. He

also hopes to sell other parts of the ship, when he has brought them to the surface, for about

$ 600,000.

Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage:

No antibiotics have been proved to be 100% effective in treating SARS so far. The only

effective way to get rid of it is by ourselves. It likes a prolonged battle between the viruses and our

immune response. In fact, viruses couldn’t kill all the immune cells in a health individual. The

stronger the immune function you have, the less the viral injury you get. Therefore, the degree of

sickness after infection and the rate of recovery mainly depend on how strong your immune

function is.
