MODERN SURGERY
The need for a surgical operation, especially an emergency operation, almost always comes as a severe shock to the patient and his family Despite modern advances, most people still have an irrational fear of hospitals and anesthetics(gây mê) Patients do not often believe they really need surgery - cutting into a part of the body as opposed to treatment with drugs
In the early years of the twentieth century there was little specialization in surgery A good surgeon was capable of performing almost every operation that had been devised up to that time Today the situation is different, operations are now being carried out that were not even dreamed of 60 years ago The heart can be
Trang 3safely opened and its valves repaired Clogged (ngẽn) blood vessels (mạch, ống) can be cleaned out, and broken ones mended or replaced A lung, the whole stomach, or even part of the brain can be removed and still permit the patient to live a comfortable and satisfactory life However, not every surgeon wants to, or is qualified to
carry out every type of modern operation.
The scope of surgery has increased remarkably Its safety has increased too The hospital stay after surgery has been shortened to as little as a week for most major operations
Many developments in modern surgery are almost incredible They include the replacement of damaged blood vessels with stimulated ones made of plastic; the replacement of heart valves with plastic substitutes; the transplanting of tissues such as the lens of the eye; the invention of the artificial kidney to clean the blood of poisons at regular intervals and the development of heart and lung machines to keep patients alive during very long operations All these things open a hopeful vista (viễn cảnh) for the future of surgery
One of the most revolutionary areas of modern surgery is that of organ transplants Until a few years ago,
no person, except an identical twin, was able to accept into his body the tissues of smother person without reacting against them and eventually killing them Recently, however, it has been discovered that with the use of x-rays and special drugs, it is possible to graft tissues from one person to another which will survive for periods of
a year or more Kidneys have been successfully transplanted between non-identical twins Heart and lung transplants have been reasonably successful in animals, though rejection problems in humans have yet to be solved
'Spare parts' surgery, the simple routine replacement of all worn-out organs by new ones, is still a dream
of the distant future As yet, surgery is not ready for such miracles In the meantime, you can be happy if your doctor says to you 'Yes, I think it is possible to operate on you for this condition.'
36. Most people are afraid of being operated on .

A had less to learn about surgery B need more knowledge

C a major organ such as the stomach or one lung D part of the stomach or the whole liver
39. The word irrational in the passage can best be replaced by .
40. Some of the more astonishing innovations in modern surgery include .
A ear, nose and throat transplants B valveless plastic hearts
41. The main difficulty with organ transplants is .
A it is difficult to find organs of exactly the same size
B the body's tendency to reject alien tissues
C only identical twins can give permission for their organs to be exchanged
D the patient is not allowed to use drugs after them

Trang 4Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to each question
A Japanese construction company plans to create a huge independent city-state, akin to the legendary
Atlantis, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean The city, dubbed “Marinnation”, would have about one million inhabitants, two airports, and possibly even a space port Marinnation, if built, would be a separate country but could serve as a home for international organisations such as the United Nations and the World Bank
Aside from the many political and social problems that would have to be solved, the engineering task envisaged is monumental The initial stage requires the building of a circular dam eighteen miles in diameter attached to the seabed in a relatively shallow place in international waters Then, several hundred powerful pumps, operating for more than a year, would suck out the sea water from within the dam When empty and dry, the area would have a city constructed on it The actual land would be about 300 feet below the sea level According to designers, the hardest task from an engineering point of view would be to ensure that the dam is leak proof and earthquake proof
If all goes well, it is hoped that Marinnation could be ready for habitation at the end of the second decade
of the twenty-first century Whether anyone would want to live in such an isolated and artificial community, however, will remain an open question until that time
44. According to the text, Marrination, when built, will be a(an) city.
45. The word ‘akin’ in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by .
46. Which of the following would NOT be a problem for the construction plan?
47. What is going to be built first?
48. The most difficult task is to protect the dam against _ and earthquake
49. According to the text, people could come to live in the future city in the year _.
50. What does the author imply in the last sentence of the passage?
A The construction of Marinnation could never be completed in time
B People will ask an open question about living in Marinnation
C People will ask how they can live in such an isolated and artificial city
D People might not want to live in an isolated and artificial community
