Read the following and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the questions from 17 to 23.
 In 1812 a young man called James Barry finished his studies in medicine at Edinburgh 
University. After graduating he moved to London where he studied surgery at Guy’s Hospital. 
After that the popular young doctor joined the army and over the next forty years had a brilliant 
career as an army medical officer, working in many far-off countries and fighting successfully 
for improved conditions in hospitals. It was a remarkable career - made even more remarkable 
by the discovery upon his death that he was in fact a she, James Barry was a woman.
 No one was more surprised at this discovery than her many friends and colleagues. It was 
true that throughout her life people had remarked upon her small size, slight build and smooth 
pale face. One officer had even objected to her appointment as a medical assistant because he 
could not believe that Barry was old enough to have graduated in medicine. But no one had ever 
seriously suggested that Barry was anything other than a man. By all accounts Barry was a 
pleasant and good-humored person with high cheekbones, reddish hair, a long nose and large 
eyes. She was well-liked by her patients and had a reputation for great speed in surgery - an 
important quality at a time when operations were performed without an aesthetic. She was also 
quick tempered. When she was working in army hospitals and prisons overseas, the terrible 
conditions often made her very angry. She fought hard against injustice and cruelty and her 
temper sometimes got her into trouble with the authority. After a long career overseas, she 
returned to London where she died in 1865. While the undertaker’s assistant was preparing her 
body for burial, she discovered that James Barry was a woman.
 So why did James Barry deceive people for so long? At that time a woman could not 
study medicine, work as a doctor or join the army. Perhaps Barry had always wanted to do these 
things and pretending to be a man was the only way to make it possible. Perhaps she was going 
to tell the truth one day, but didn’t because she was enjoying her life as a man too much. 
Whatever the reason, Barry's deception was successful. By the time it was discovered that she 
had been the first woman in Britain to qualify as a doctor, it was too late for the authorities to do 
anything about it.

 Global sea level has been rising over the past century, and the rate has increased in recent 
decades. In 2014, global sea level was 2.6 inches above the 1993 average - the highest annual 
average in the satellite record (1993-present). Sea level continues to rise at a rate of about one-
eighth of an inch per year.
 Higher sea levels mean that deadly and destructive storm surges push farther inland than 
they once did, which also means more frequent nuisance flooding. Disruptive and expensive, 
nuisance flooding is estimated to be from 300 percent to 900 percent more frequent within U.S. 
coastal communities than it was just 50 years ago.
