Today, WHO listed the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine (mRNA 1273) for emergency use, making it the
fifth vaccine to receive emergency validation from WHO.
WHO’s Emergency Use Listing (EUL) assesses the quality, safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines
and is a prerequisite for COVAX Facility vaccine supply. It also allows countries to expedite their own
regulatory approval to import and administer COVID-19 vaccines.
The vaccine has already been reviewed by WHO’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on
Immunization (SAGE), which makes recommendations for vaccines’ use in populations (i.e. recommended
age groups, intervals between shots, advice for specific groups such as pregnant and lactating women). The
SAGE recommended the vaccine for all age groups 18 and above in its interim recommendations dated 25
January 2021.
The US Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use authorization for the Moderna vaccine
on 18 December 2020 and a marketing authorisation valid throughout the European Union was granted by
the European Medicines Agency on 6 January 2021. The WHO’s EUL process can be carried out quickly
when vaccine developers submit the full data required by WHO in a timely manner. Once those data are
submitted, WHO can rapidly assemble its evaluation team and regulators from around the world to assess
the information and, when necessary, carry out inspections of manufacturing sites.
The Moderna vaccine is an mNRA-based vaccine. It was found by the SAGE to have an efficacy of
94.1%, based on a median follow-up of two months. Although the vaccine is provided as a frozen
suspension at -25 ºC to -15 ºC in a multidose vial, vials can be stored refrigerated at 2-8 °C for up to 30 days
prior to withdrawal of the first dose, meaning that ultra-cold chain equipment may not always be necessary
to deploy the vaccine.
Question 39. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. The US Food and Drug Administration.
B. The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
C. WHO’s Emergency Use Listing.
D. WHO’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization.
Question 40. According to paragraph 3, WHO’s SAGE _______.
 A. has not allowed the use of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine because of its unsafety
B. has never recommended the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine for all age groups 18 and above
C. has already reviewed the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine
D. has considered the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine the best vaccine of all time.
Question 41. The word “efficacy” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. effort B. influence C. effectiveness D. result
Question 42. The word “which” in paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. WHO B. the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine
C. WHO’s SAGE D. WHO’s EUL
Question 43. According to the passage, which of the following information is NOT mentioned?
A. The Moderna vaccine is an mNRA-based vaccine.
B. The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine is better than the AstraZeneca COVID-19 one.
C. The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine is the fifth one to receive emergency validation from WHO.
D. An emergency use authorization was issued for the Moderna vaccine by the US Food and Drug
Administration
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- 50
Human blood comes in four different types, namely A, B, AB and O. In most of the world, most people
are ignorant of which blood type they possess, since it is important only if they have to undergo an
operation which requires a blood transfusion. In Japan, however, things are different, since a large
proportion of the population believes that blood type determines personality and, as a result, over 90% of
the population are aware which type they are.
This linking of blood type and personality has ramifications across life, but is especially prominent in
prospective relationships and employment. For example, in Japan one popular way to meet romantic
partners is to go to specialised venues which conduct speed dating. A single man and woman sit alone
together at a table for just a few minutes. Then a bell rings, and they go to sit with someone new. Some
such venues hold dating sessions which are limited to men or women of a particular blood type. For those
who believe in the blood-type theory, this seems to maximise their chance of finding someone special.
The current popularity of the idea exploded in the 1970s following the publication of a book by
Masahiko Nomi, even though he was a lawyer and broadcaster who had no medical or psychological
training. His ideas were largely anecdotal, and many critics thought it mere superstition, but the book
nevertheless sparked great interest in the general public. Now his son, Toshitaka, continues to promote the
theory, and nowadays it is ubiquitous in Japanese popular culture, featuring on morning TV, women’s
magazines and best-selling self-help books.
Much like horoscopes in the West, the blood group theory is regularly debunked by scientific
experimentation, yet it retains popular appeal. Perhaps one reason for this is that it helps to break the ice in
social situations. Japanese people do not always find it easy to express their opinions, so discussing blood
types is an indirect way of telling people what you think of them.
Question 44. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. The blood-type theory B. Blood and its functions
C. Different theories about blood type D. Masahiko Nomi, a famous author
Question 45. How is the blood-type theory used in speed dating?
A. People go to tables according to their blood types.
B. Dating couples talk about the theory and what it means.
C. Some people want to meet only people of a particular blood type.
D. People try to guess the blood type of their date.
Question 46. What is TRUE about the popularity of the blood-type theory?
A. It became popular due to the writings of a father-and-son team.
B. It is popular because of a traditional idea in Japanese culture.
C. It is not as popular as it was in the 1970s.
D. It became popular following experiments conducted by Masahiko Nomi.
Question 47. It can be inferred from the passage that in Japan
A. people associate blood types solely with personality traits.
B. a complicated scientific theory relating blood types to personality has been developed.
C. many more people than elsewhere know which type of blood they have.
D. blood transfusions are made only for certain types of blood.
Question 48. What does the word “they” in the second paragraph refer to?
A. prospective relationships B. a single man and woman
C. specialised venues D. a few minutes
Question 49. The word “sparked” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. spoilt B. improved C. generated D. terminated
Question 50. The word “debunked” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. recognised B. increased C. decreased D. undervalued
