44 to 45. Read the passage given below and answer the questions.

It’s apparently humankind’s fate never to stop writing the history of pandemics. No matter how often they occur - and
they do occur with great frequency - we collectively refuse to think about them until circumstances demand it. Then,
when the immediate crisis passes, we put it out of our minds as quickly as possible. And so, we again are unprepared
when the next contagion - in this case, COVID-19 - bursts upon us. Richard Conniff traces this alarming cycle in
“How devastating pandemics change us,” this month’s cover story. It examines our long relationship with infectious
diseases, from the hard lessons we’ve been forced to learn to the brave, and often difficult, characters who’ve risked
their lives to save us.

Smallpox taught us that we could prevent disease through inoculation and, as the 1700s ended, vaccination. By the
mid-1800s, cholera’s lesson was about sanitation and the need for centralized water and sewer systems. About the
same time, one man we’ve all heard of, Louis Pasteur, and one many of us haven’t, Robert Koch, became the co-
fathers of germ theory. Tools they created are still used to identify and fight what Conniff calls “an astonishing
rogues’ gallery of deadly pathogens.”

And yet here we are, again, fighting on two fronts: the first, against a new coronavirus sweeping the planet to
devastating effect; the second, with each other, over domestic and international politics and whether we’re willing to
pay the price of prevention. It’s an important question for our planet. While we debate, the next pandemic draws
nearer.

44. Which statement is CORRECT according to the passage?

1. Research about vaccines is not reliable

2. All pandemics are not to be feared
3. Pandemics keep occurring periodically
4. There is no solution for a pandemic

45. In the fourth paragraph which pandemic is the author referring?

1. An unknown one
2. Small pox
3. COVID-19
4. Cholera
