1.CR
In City X, the percentage of traffic accidents involving drivers with blood alcohol levels above the legal limit has decreased steadily over the past few years. City officials attribute this decline to the introduction of harsher penalties for drunk driving.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the city officials' explanation for the decrease in the percentage of traffic accidents involving drunk drivers?
(A) The number of traffic accidents in City X has increased over the past few years, while the number of accidents involving drunk drivers has remained relatively constant.
(B) City X has also introduced stricter regulations on the sale and consumption of alcohol in public places, which may have contributed to the decline in drunk driving accidents.
(C) The percentage of traffic accidents involving drivers with blood alcohol levels above the legal limit has also decreased in neighboring cities that have not introduced harsher penalties for drunk driving.
(D) The harsher penalties for drunk driving in City X have led to an increase in the number of people using public transportation or ride-sharing services after consuming alcohol.
(E) The introduction of harsher penalties for drunk driving in City X has been accompanied by increased public awareness campaigns about the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol.

Official A: The tremendous economic growth in the United States over the past few decades can be attributed entirely to the extensive development of the railway network across the country. The railroads have provided an efficient and cost-effective means of transportation, connecting cities and facilitating trade.
Official B: While the railroads have certainly played a significant role in the economic development of the United States, it is important to recognize that other forms of transportation have also contributed to this growth. If the government had provided the same level of support and resources to the development of canals and highways as it did to the railroads, these alternative transportation networks could have been just as effective in promoting economic prosperity.
The point at issue between Official A and Official B is whether:
(A) the economic growth in the United States can be attributed solely to the development of the railway network.
(B) the government should have provided more support to the development of canals and highways.
(C) the railroads have been the most efficient and cost-effective means of transportation in the United States.
(D) alternative transportation networks, such as canals and highways, could have been as effective as railroads in promoting economic growth if given the same level of support.
(E) the development of transportation infrastructure is crucial for economic growth in the United States.

2.RC
When sources of an infectious disease are unavoidable and when treatment is either nonexistent or only partially effective, we look to that cornerstone of preventive medicine: a vaccine. Malaria is an example. This parasite infection can be prevented by measures that interrupt at one step or another the disease’s transmission by mosquitoes. But now many vectors are resistant to the insecticides that once kept their numbers low. Malaria has been successfully treated with medicines such as quinine. But the malaria parasites themselves are becoming resistant to the effects of these treatments. As the standbys of prevention and treatment reveal vulnerabilities over time, there is keener interest in developing a vaccine to prevent malaria.

Although malaria’s global scope dwarfs that of Lyme disease, there are parallels between the two diseases which are instructive with respect to vaccines. For many years a vaccine for use in humans was generally thought of as a low-priority item for Lyme disease prevention, and in fact, some experts continue to dispute the proposition that a Lyme disease vaccine is needed. Tick bites were viewed as being avoidable by means of a few simple precautions for outdoor activities. Moreover, the disease was seen by most physicians as easily treated with antibiotics. There was, in addition, little apparent incentive for a company to develop and market a vaccine against the disease. A vaccine for the more frequently fatal tick-borne disease Rocky Mountain spotted fever was taken off the market for the lack of use. Inasmuch as Lyme disease is rarely fatal, the public’s acceptance of side effects or actual illness from a vaccine would be expected to be low. What with the amount of litigation against vaccines for proven killers such as whooping cough and diphtheria, how great would be the “bottom line” for a vaccine against a more benign infection? How tolerant, it was further asked, would people be of untoward reactions to a vaccine against an infection that could easily be avoided to begin with, and that could be treated if acquired?

These are discouraging considerations and doubts. Nevertheless, public and professional demand have grown to the point that efforts to develop a vaccine for humans are now under way on both sides of the Atlantic. One justification is the recognition, over the last decade, that the impact of Lyme disease on the health and quality of life in high-risk areas is considerable. In some communities 10 percent of the population have been infected. There has been only limited success to date in controlling the disease by interrupting transmission to people in these areas. For many suburban residents, exposure to infection is almost impossible to avoid. This is especially true for outdoor workers and residents of communities with many deer and infected ticks around homes. Although many early infections with B. burgdorferi come to a physician’s attention, further experience has shown that infections occur without the rash of erythema migrans having been noticed. In the rash’s absence it is difficult to distinguish Lyme disease from a summer virus infection. In these cases the infection may go untreated during the stage in which treatment is most effective.

People with late infection, like those with the early form of the disease, usually respond to antibiotic therapy, but longer treatments are required. Moreover, some patients with Lyme disease involving the joints or nervous system do not substantially improve even after intravenous antibiotics. The arthritis continues for months to years, or the fatigue and achiness persist long after the antibiotics have been discontinued. Notwithstanding doubts about the accuracy of some diagnoses of chronic Lyme disease, the specter of a large number of persons with unrelieved disabilities has been another factor in the increased interest in a Lyme disease vaccine.

1. The passage suggests that the development of a malaria vaccine has become a higher priority due to:
(A) the increasing resistance of mosquitoes to insecticides
(B) the growing resistance of malaria parasites to treatments like quinine
(C) the recognition that malaria has a more global scope than Lyme disease

(A) the majority of physicians believe that a Lyme disease vaccine is unnecessary
(B) the development of a Lyme disease vaccine has been driven primarily by public demand
(C) the potential side effects of a Lyme disease vaccine would be more severe than those of vaccines for whooping cough and diphtheria
(D) the limited success in controlling Lyme disease transmission has contributed to the increased interest in a vaccine
(E) the persistence of arthritis and fatigue in some Lyme disease patients is the primary justification for vaccine development

(A) malaria is more frequently fatal than Lyme disease
(B) malaria has a more global scope than Lyme disease
(C) malaria is more easily treated with antibiotics than Lyme disease
(D) the vectors of malaria have not developed resistance to insecticides, unlike the vectors of Lyme disease
(E) the development of a vaccine for malaria has been a higher priority than for Lyme disease

(A) It is most effective during the late stage of the infection.
(B) It always leads to substantial improvement in patients with Lyme disease affecting the joints or nervous system.
(C) It requires shorter treatment durations for late-stage infections compared to early-stage infections.
(D) It is less effective when erythema migrans is not present.

(C) illustrate the challenges in marketing a vaccine for a less common disease
(D) emphasize the importance of preventing tick bites to avoid infection
(E) suggest that a vaccine for Lyme disease would be more widely accepted than one for Rocky Mountain spotted fever

8. Based on the passage, it can be inferred that outdoor workers in high-risk areas:
(A) are less likely to contract Lyme disease than other residents
(B) have a higher risk of exposure to Lyme disease infection
(C) are more likely to receive prompt antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease
(D) have a lower incidence of chronic Lyme disease compared to other residents
(E) are more likely to develop resistance to antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease

3.DI
The Straus family, a prominent Austrian family known for their significant contributions to the world of classical music, has left an indelible mark on the cultural landscape of Europe and beyond. The family's musical legacy began with Johann Strauss I, a talented composer and conductor who rose to prominence in Vienna during the early 19th century. His compositions, particularly his waltzes, polkas, and marches, captivated audiences and earned him the title of "The Father of the Viennese Waltz."

Johann Strauss I's sons, Johann Strauss II, Josef Strauss, and Eduard Strauss, followed in their father's footsteps and became renowned composers and conductors in their own right. Johann Strauss II, often referred to as "The Waltz King," elevated the waltz to new heights of popularity and sophistication. His compositions, such as "The Blue Danube," "Tales from the Vienna Woods," and "Die Fledermaus," are considered masterpieces of the genre and continue to be performed and celebrated around the world.

The Strauss brothers' influence extended far beyond the confines of Vienna. They embarked on numerous international tours, bringing their music to audiences across Europe, Russia, and the United States. Their performances were met with great acclaim, and their compositions were eagerly adopted by dance orchestras and military bands, further spreading the popularity of Viennese music.

The Strauss family's musical empire was not limited to composition and performance. They also established their own orchestra, the Strauss Orchestra, which became one of the most renowned and sought-after ensembles of its time. The orchestra's performances were known for their precision, virtuosity, and ability to capture the essence of the Strauss family's compositions.

In addition to their musical pursuits, the Strauss family was also involved in the cultural and social life of Vienna. They were frequently commissioned to compose music for important events, such as the opening of the Vienna State Opera and the International Exhibition of 1873. Their music became an integral part of Viennese culture, and their influence can still be felt in the city's musical traditions today.

The Strauss family's legacy has endured long after their lifetimes. Their compositions continue to be performed by orchestras and ensembles around the world, and their influence can be heard in the works of countless composers who followed in their footsteps. The family's story has also been the subject of numerous books, films, and stage productions, cementing their place in popular culture.

One of the most enduring aspects of the Strauss family's legacy is the annual Vienna New Year's Concert, a tradition that began in 1939. The concert, which features the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra performing a selection of Strauss family compositions, is broadcast to millions of viewers worldwide and has become a beloved cultural event.

The Strauss family's contributions to classical music extend beyond their own compositions. They played a significant role in the development and popularization of the waltz, elevating it from a simple dance form to a sophisticated art form. Their innovations in orchestration, such as the use of larger ensembles and the incorporation of new instruments, had a lasting impact on the evolution of classical music.

The family's influence also extended to the realm of opera. Johann Strauss II's operettas, such as "Die Fledermaus" and "The Gypsy Baron," were immensely popular during his lifetime and continue to be performed regularly in opera houses around the world. These works showcased Strauss's ability to blend engaging storylines, memorable melodies, and social commentary, creating a new genre that bridged the gap between opera and popular entertainment.

Despite their immense success and popularity, the Strauss family faced their share of challenges and rivalries. The relationship between Johann Strauss I and his sons was often strained, with the younger generation striving to establish their own identities and surpass the achievements of their father. There were also artistic and professional rivalries among the brothers, particularly between Johann Strauss II and Josef Strauss, who both sought to assert their dominance in the world of Viennese music.

The Strauss family's story is one of remarkable talent, innovation, and perseverance. Their music not only entertained audiences but also served as a reflection of the cultural, social, and political climate of their time. Through their compositions, performances, and influence on the development of classical music, the Strauss family left a lasting impact that continues to be felt to this day.

In conclusion, the Strauss family's contributions to the world of classical music cannot be overstated. Their compositions, performances, and innovations helped shape the course of musical history and continue to inspire and delight audiences around the world. The family's legacy serves as a testament to the enduring power of music to transcend time, borders, and cultural barriers, and to unite people in a shared appreciation of beauty and artistry.
