Digestible microchips embedded in drugs maysoontell doctors whether a patient is taking theirmedications as prescribed.These sensors are the firstingestible devices approved by the US Food andDrugAdministration (FDA). To some, they signify the

beginning of an era in digitalmedicine. The sandparticle sized sensor consists of a minute siliconchipcontaining trace amounts of magnesium andcopper. When swallowed, it generatesa slight voltagein response to digestive juices, which conveys asignal to thesurface of a persons skin where a patchthen relays the information to amobile phonebelonging to a health care provider. Currently, theFDA and theanalogous regulatory agency in Europehave only approved the device based onstudiesshowing its safety and efficacy when implanted inplacebo pills. Butscientists hope to have the deviceapproved within other drugs in the nearfuture.Medicines that must be taken for years, such as those

fordrug-resistant diabetes, and for the elderly withchronic diseases, are topcandidates. Proponents ofdigital medical devices predict they willprovidealternatives to blood tests, MRIs and CATscans.

phone

45. According to the passage, microchips couldbe beneficial to people ----..

A) who are particularly resistant to magnesium

B) facing permanent health problems

C) coming from all age groups

D) who cannot benefit from placebo pills

46. It can be inferred from the passage thatdigital medicine ----..

since the devices are still in the trial period

C) will be prevalent in the US before it is testedsafely in Europe

D) will enable medical professionals to carry outcertain screening methods without beingphysically present with their patients

The term 'imperialism' means the process ofextending one nations control over another; it is aprocess that takes many forms. Historians distinguishbetween 'formal imperialism' and 'informalimperialism.' Formal imperialism is colonialism, and it

As for 'informal imperialism, it refers to amore subtle and less visible exercise of power, inwhich the stronger nation allows the weaker one tomaintain its independence while reducing its

sovereignty. For the Europeans in the past, informalimperialism took the form of carving out zones ofEuropean sovereignty and privilege, such as treatyports, within other countries.

Scottish philosopher and historian David Humeemerged as an economist also with the publication ofhis Political Discourses. The famous Adam Smith wasa friend of his and may have been influenced byHume: they had similar principles, and both were very

good at illustrating and supporting these from history.Although Hume did not formulate a complete systemof economic theory, as did Smith in his Wealth ofNations, he introduced several of the new ideasaround which the 'classical economics' of the 18thcentury was built. His economic philosophy can beunderstood from his main arguments: that wealthconsists not of money but of commodities; that theamount of money in circulation should be kept relatedto the amount of goods in the market; and that poornations impoverish the rest because they do notproduce enough to be able to take much part intrade.

Forget drilling into the ocean floor to tap into ever-decreasing supplies of oil, because there could soonbe a new fuel source beneath the waves seaweed. Atechnique has been developed to convert sugars inseaweed into a fuel that can be used to power cars.

Biofuels are currently produced from crops such ascorn and sugar cane, but these sources are also indemand for use as food, and their production requireslarge amounts of land, fresh water and fertiliser.Seaweed requires none of these and has theadvantage of not containing lignin, a strong strand ofsugars that stiffens plant stalks but is difficult to turninto biofuel. Researchers at Bio Architecture Lab inCalifornia have been able to produce bioethanol fromkombu, an edible brown seaweed. Bioethanol can beblended with petrol and used in engines with little orno modification. Brown seaweed has high sugarcontent and also grows more quickly than the red orgreen species. The only potential stumbling block is

growing enough of the stuff. Several thousand tonnesare farmed annually for food, but if it is going to beused widely as a fuel, billions of tonnes would berequired. But Bio Architecture Lab is still forgingahead, launching a seaweed biofuel pilot project in2013. It hopes to commercialize seaweed-sourcedfuels within three to four years.

55. According to the passage, producing fuelfrom seaweed ----..

A) can interrupt drilling for oil under the ocean, as

most types of seaweed grow on the surfaceB) is a longer process when compared to

producing fuel from other crops

C) can be more expensive than producing fuelfrom crops such as sugar cane

D) is a great resource in view of producing fuelfrom other sources

E) remains the only way in which sugars are usedas crops for fuel

56. It is clearly stated in the passage thatseaweed ----..

A) cannot be used alone as a food resource

B) does not call for resources such as fresh waterand land

C) does not grow quickly in comparison to othercrops

D) is not utilized for commercial purposes

E) does not retain a great amount of sugar

57. According to the passage, the bioethanolfrom seaweed ----..

A) is convenient enough to be used alone to fuelcars

B) causes great amounts of pollution whencombined with petrol

C) can be used with little or no change in car

engines

D) needs to be blended with other biofuels toincrease its efficiency

E) requires using red and green species together

58. One can understand from the passage that ----..

A) much more seaweed needs to be produced toprovide enough fuel

B) Bio Architecture Lab may suspend its plans forusing seaweed for biofuel

C) farmers currently producing seaweed will bepaid to produce more

D) researchers need three to four years beforethey can obtain biofuel from seaweed

E) growing red or green seaweed rather than thebrown species proves to be more beneficial
