________ either the Earth or the moon blocks the light of the sun, we experience a phenomenon called an eclipse. An eclipse is the shadow cast by the Earth or the moon, blocking the light of the sun.

________ a solar eclipse, the moon passes between the Earth and the sun. Its shadow is cast on the Earth’s surface.

________ the Earth passes between the sun and the moon we experience a lunar eclipse.

______________ of a lunar eclipse, the Earth’s shadow is cast on the face of the moon.

Before science could provide answers, people were frightened of eclipses and thought them to be bad omens. __________ we now know that solar and lunar eclipses are normal and predictable events that occur many times a year.

One sunny afternoon in the autumn of the year 1861 a soldier _________ in a clump of laurel by the side of a road in western Virginia.

His extended right hand loosely grasped his rifle. But for the somewhat methodical disposition of his limbs and a slight rhythmic movement of the cartridge-box at the back of his belt he ___________ thought to be dead.

He was asleep at his post of duty. But if detected he _______ dead shortly afterward, death being the just and legal penalty of his crime.

The clump of laurel in which the criminal lay was in the angle of a road which after ascending southward a steep acclivity to that point turned sharply to the west, ________ the summit for perhaps one hundred yards.

There it turned southward again and went _________ downward through the forest. At the salient of that second angle was a large flat rock, jutting out northward, overlooking the deep valley from which the road ascended.

The rock ________ a high cliff; a stone dropped from its outer edge would have fallen sheer downward one thousand feet to the tops of the pines.

The angle where the soldier lay was on another spur of the same cliff. _____________ he would have commanded a view, not only of the short arm of the road and the jutting rock, but of the entire profile of the cliff below it. It might well have made him giddy to look.

The country was wooded everywhere except at the bottom of the valley to the northward, ___________ a small natural meadow, through which flowed a stream scarcely visible from the valley's rim.

This open ground looked hardly larger than an ordinary door-yard, but was really several acres in extent. Its green was more vivid than that of the inclosing forest.

What does the boldface word mean?

Away beyond it rose a line of giant cliffs similar to those upon which we _________ stand in our survey of the savage scene, and through which the road had somehow made its climb to the summit.

The configuration of the valley, indeed, was such that from this point of observation it seemed entirely shut in, and one could but have wondered how the road which found a way out of it had found a way into it, and whence came and whither went the waters of the stream that parted the meadow more than a thousand feet below.

What best replace the boldface word?

No country is so wild and difficult but men will make it a theatre of war; ______________ in the forest at the bottom of that military rat-trap, in which half a hundred men in possession of the exits might have starved an army to submission, lay five regiments of Federal infantry.

They had marched all the previous day and night and were resting. At nightfall they would take to the road again, climb to the place where their unfaithful sentinel now slept, and ___________ the other slope of the ridge fall upon a camp of the enemy at about midnight.

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to people through female Anopheles mosquitoes. Each year, over half a billion people will become infected with malaria, with roughly 80% of them living in Sub-Saharan Africa. Nearly half a million people die of malaria every year, most of them young children under the age of five. Unlike many other infectious diseases, the death toll for malaria is rising. While there have been many programs designed to improve access to malaria treatment, the best way to reduce the impact of malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa is to focus on reducing the number of people who contract the disease in the first place, rather than waiting to treat the disease after the person is already infected.

What is being proposed by the writer?

There are multiple drugs available to treat malaria, and many of them work well and save lives, __________ malaria eradication programs that focus too much on them and not enough on prevention haven’t seen long-term success in Sub-Saharan Africa.

A major program to combat malaria was WHO’s Global Malaria Eradication Programme. Started in 1955, it had a goal of eliminating malaria in Africa within the next ten years. _______________ previously successful programs in Brazil and the United States, the program focused mainly on vector control.

This included widely distributing chloroquine and spraying large amounts of DDT. More than one billion dollars was spent trying to abolish malaria. ____________, the program suffered from many problems and in 1969, WHO was forced to admit that the program had not succeeded in eradicating malaria.

The number of people in Sub-Saharan Africa ________ contracted malaria as well as the number of malaria deaths had actually increased over 10% during the time the program was active.

One of the major reasons for the failure of the project was that it set uniform strategies and policies. By failing to consider variations between governments, geography, and infrastructure, the program was not nearly as successful as it could have been. Sub-Saharan Africa has neither the money nor the infrastructure to support such an elaborate program, and it couldn’t be run the way it was meant to. Most African countries don't have the resources to send all their people to doctors and get shots, nor can they afford to clear wetlands or other malaria prone areas. The continent’s spending per person for eradicating malaria was just a quarter of what Brazil spent. Sub-Saharan Africa simply can’t rely on a plan that requires more money, infrastructure, and expertise than they have to spare.

_____________, the widespread use of chloroquine has created drug resistant parasites which are now plaguing Sub-Saharan Africa. Because chloroquine was used widely but inconsistently, mosquitoes developed resistance, and chloroquine is now nearly completely ineffective in Sub-Saharan Africa, with over 95% of mosquitoes resistant to it. As a result, newer, more expensive drugs need to be used to prevent and treat malaria, which further drives up the cost of malaria treatment for a region that can ill afford it.
