English Comprehension PYQs

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/phrases are given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

Locally acquired malaria denotes cases where the disease presents in patients with no travel history, indicating that it has been acquired within their geographical area. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), although malaria does not occur in all warm climates, most cases are found in parts of Africa, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Oceania, and South, West, and Southeast Asia. A locally acquired case would mean that the mosquito transmitting the disease first bit a person carrying the malaria-causing parasite and then another person, thus transmitting the disease locally.
The CDC in an advisory issued on June 26 recommended that medical health professionals consider a malaria diagnosis for patients with fever of unknown origin, regardless of their travel history. The agency also said that patients suspected of having malaria should be urgently ____________ in an appropriate medical facility.
According to the CDC, suspected or confirmed locally acquired malaria is a public health emergency. Malaria is a potentially fatal disease caused by a protozoan from the Plasmodium genus. This is usually transmitted through the bite of an Anopheles mosquito, and almost all cases of malaria in the U.S. are found in people who have a history of international travel. Locally acquired cases of malaria in the country are rare. In fact, Texas recorded its last locally acquired malaria case in 1994— before it resurfaced this year.
The parasite identified in locally acquired cases across Texas and Florida is Plasmodium vivax. Although not the worst among the types, P. vivax is the most common type of parasite that causes malaria in humans. Although most cases caused by this type are of comparatively lower intensity, it can still cause cerebral malaria, renal failure, acute respiratory distress, and shock in some patients.
According to Colin Carlson, a biologist studying the relationship between global climate change, biodiversity loss, and emerging infectious diseases, it is “somewhat likely” that climate change contributed to the presence of malaria cases in the U.S. However, Dr. Carlson also says that southern U.S. states meet the minimum conditions of a warm climate needed for malaria, even without climate change.

In the following passage there are blanks, each of which has been denoted by letters. For each blank, five options are given. Choose the most appropriate word from the options that fits the blank appropriately.

Rockfish DNA may ___________ (A) the secrets to a longer life, according to a study published on January 11 in Science Advances.

Some rockfish species can live to be 200 years old, making them some of the longest-living animals on Earth. Researchers from Harvard Medical School ___________ (B) nearly two dozen rockfish genomes, finding genes associated with increased ___________ (C). These genes, the researchers found, are also correlated with increased human longevity, and could one day help researchers better understand or even prevent age-related diseases.
Study coauthor Stephen Treaster, a postdoc at Harvard, says “If we look at the diseases that modern society still ___________ (D) from like cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s. The greatest risk factor for these is not genetics or lifestyle. It’s really just age,” he says.
Treaster explains that rockfish are the perfect ___________ (E) to study why some species live longer than others. While many animal models live short, uniform lifespans, closely related species of rockfish live anywhere from 10 to 200 years. This incredible ___________ (F) in longevity came about in the span of just 8 million years—which is relatively quickly, evolutionarily speaking, he says. And a given species’ longevity is not closely ___________ (G) with other traits such as size, or with ecological variables—making it possible for researchers to isolate genes shared among long-lived rockfish lineages.
