Laboulaye was a well-known Frenchman who admired the United States One night at a
dinner in his house, Laboulaye talked about the idea of a gift Among Laboulaye’s guests was the
French sculptor Frederic Augusta Bartholdi Bartholdi thought of a statue of Liberty He offered
to design the statue
Many people contributed in some way The French people gave money for the statue
Americans designed and built the pedestal for the statue to stand on The American people raised
money to pay for the pedestal The French engineer Alexander Eiffel, who was famous for his
Eiffel Tower in Paris, figured out how to make the heavy statue stand

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Under certain circumstances, the human body must cope with gases at greater-than-normal atmospheric pressure For example, gas pressures increase rapidly during a dive made with scuba gear because the breathing equipment allows divers to stay underwater longer and dive deeper The pressure exerted on the human body increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters of depth
on seawater, so that at 30 meters in seawater a diver is exposed to pressure of about 4
atmosphere The pressure of the gases being breathed must equal the external pressure applied to the body, otherwise breathing is very difficult Therefore all of the gases in the air breathed by a scuba diver at 40 meter are present at five times their usual pressure Nitrogen, which composes
80 percent of the air we breathe, usually causes a balmy feeling of well-being at this pressure At
a depth of 5 atmospheres, nitrogen causes symptoms resembling alcohol intoxication, known as nitrogen narcosis Nitrogen narcosis apparently results from a direct effect on the brain of the large amounts of nitrogen dissolved in the blood Deep dives are less dangerous if helium is
substituted for nitrogen, because under these pressures helium does not exert a similar narcotic
effect
As a scuba diver descends, the pressure of nitrogen on the lungs increases Nitrogen then diffuses from the lungs to the blood, and from the blood to body tissues The reverse occurs
when the diver surfaces, the nitrogen pressure in the lungs falls and the nitrogen diffuses from
the tissues into the blood, and from the blood into the lungs
If the return to the surface is too rapid, nitrogen in the tissues and blood cannot diffuse out
rapidly enough and nitrogen bubbles are formed They can cause severe pains, particularly
around the joints
Another complication may result if the breath is held during ascent During ascent from a depth of 10 meters, the volume of air in the lungs will double because the air pressure at the
Trang 3surface is only half of what it was at 10 meters This change in volume may cause the lungs to
distend and even rupture This condition is called air embolism
To avoid this event, a diver must ascend slowly, never at a rate exceeding the rise of the exhaled air bubbles, and must exhale during ascent

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Under certain circumstances, the human body must cope with gases at greater-than-normal atmospheric pressure For example, gas pressures increase rapidly during a dive made with scuba gear because the breathing equipment allows divers to stay underwater longer and dive deeper The pressure exerted on the human body increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters of depth
on seawater, so that at 39 meters in seawater a diver is exposed to pressure of about 4
atmosphere The pressure of the gases being breathed must equal the external pressure applied to the body, otherwise breathing is very difficult Therefore all of the gases in the air breathed by a scuba diver at 40 meter are present at five times their usual pressure Nitrogen, which composes
80 percent of the air we breathe, usually causes a balmy feeling of well-being at this pressure At
a depth of 5 atmospheres, nitrogen causes symptoms resembling alcohol intoxication, known as nitrogen narcosis Nitrogen narcosis apparently results from a direct effect on the brain of the large amounts of nitrogen dissolved in the blood Deep dives are less dangerous if helium is
substituted for nitrogen, because under these pressures helium does not exert a similar narcotic
effect
As a scuba diver descends, the pressure of nitrogen on the lungs increases Nitrogen then diffuses from the lungs to the blood, and from the blood to body tissues The reverse occurs
Trang 24when the diver surfaces, the nitrogen pressure in the lungs falls and the nitrogen diffuses from
the tissues into the blood, and from the blood into the lungs
If the return to the surface is too rapid, nitrogen in the tissues and blood cannot diffuse out
rapidly enough and nitrogen bubbles are formed They can cause severe pains, particularly
around the joints
Another complication may result if the breath is held during ascent During ascent from a depth of 10 meters, the volume of air in the lungs will double because the air pressure at the surface is only half of what it was at 10 meters This change in volume may cause the lungs to distend and even rupture This condition is called air embolism
To avoid this event, a diver must ascend slowly, never at a rate exceeding the rise of the exhaled air bubbles, and must exhale during ascent
(Source: Reading Comprehension- TOEFL)
Question 41: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A How to prepare for a deep dive
B The symptoms of nitrogen bubbles in the bloodstream
C The equipment divers use
D The effects of pressure on gases in the human body
Question 42: The words "exposed to" in line 5 are closest in meaning to
A subjected to B prepared for C leaving behind D propelled by Question 43: The word "exert" in line 12 is closest in meaning to
Question 44: The word "diffuses" in line 15 is closest in meaning to
A travels B surfaces C starts D yields
Question 45: What happens to nitrogen in body tissues if a diver ascends too quickly?
C It goes directly to the brain D It has a narcotic effect
Question 46: The word "they" in paragraph 3 refers to
Question 47: It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following presents the
greatest danger to a diver?
Question 48: What should a diver do when ascending?
A Rise slowly B Breathe helium C Breathe faster D Relax
exported the surplus
A large quality B small quantity C excess D sufficiency
