School Year: 2007/2008 The First Term Exam PART ONE: READING AND INTERPRETING: (15pts) Read the text carefully then do the activities : Killer Oil Like most Mediterranean countries, Spain uses olive oil in its *****ng: and when people started falling ill in May, nobody suspected that that it was the *****ng oil which was the cause of the illness. It was a medical mystery: doctors and scientists were completely baffled by the spread of the strange disease. There were several theories about what was happening. At first, it was thought that bad fish had caused the food poisoning, and later, that it was rotten fruit. It wasn’t until June that a children’s doctor in Madrid made the connection between the sickness and the oil. Immediately the government started issuing public warnings, and offered to take any suspect oil, giving pure oil in exchange. This stopped the spread of the poison. But it was too late for the thousands of people who had already eaten the contaminated substance. People who had been affected could not eat or sleep, had pains all over their body, suffered headaches and fevers, and difficulty in breathing. Some of them even died. Doctors and scientists were not sure what the poison was. The most popular theory was that a Spanish company imported some industrial oil from France, and tried to remove the impurities by boiling it at 200°C. They mixed it to a small amount of olive oil to give it a taste, and then sent it to the salesmen to sell as pure olive oil. When they boiled the oil however, they created a new substance, which was poisonous and unknown to the medical authorities. At on time, twenty thousand people in Spain were analyzing the oil, trying to find a cure for the poison. By March 1982, they had still not found a way of curing the illness caused by the oil. The Spanish Health Ministry admitted that all antidotes so far tried, had been unsuccessful. While the medical authorities were carrying out the various analyses, the police arrested fourteen people suspected of being responsible for oil poisoning. (Adapted from Modern English International, Number 5, May 1982) a- Like Spain, Algeria uses olive oil in its *****ng. b- Bad fish had caused the food poisoning. c- The authorities took measures to stop the spread of the poison. d- All antidotes so far tried had been inefficient. 2-Read the text again and answer the following questions: a- Why did many people buy that oil? b- What words or phrases suggest that the oil poisoning was a strange disease? c- What measures did the authorities take to prevent the disease from developing? d- What makes this story one of tragedy and fraud? 3-In which paragraph is it mentioned that the authorities took measures to prevent the sickness from developing? 4- The text is: a- descriptive. b- narrative. 5- The text is: a- a letter b- an article c- a poem. 6- a-Find in the text words which mean : corruption(§1) - huge(§1) - toxic(§4) b-Find in the text words whose definitions follow: 1)-a very sad event or situation, especially one that involves death.(§1) 2)-a substance that causes death or harm if it is swallowed or absorbed into the body.(§4) c-Find in the text the opposite of: buy(§4). 7- Combine the following pairs of sentences using the words between brackets.
