Human beings have discovered it several times. The Maya<br /> are said to have used maggots for therapeutic purposes a thousand years ago. As early as the sixteenth<br /> century, European doctors noticed that soldiers with maggot-infested wounds healed well. More recently,<br /> doctors have realized that maggots can be cheaper and more effective than drugs in some respects, and<br /> these squirming larvae have, at times, enjoyed a quiet medical renaissance. The problem may have more<br /> to do with the weak stomachs of those using them than with good science. The modern heyday of maggot<br /> therapy began during World War I, when an American doctor named William Baer was shocked to notice<br /> that two soldiers who had lain on a battlefield for a week while their abdominal wounds became infested<br /> with thousands of maggots, had recovered better than wounded men treated in the military hospital. After<br /> the war, Baer proved to the medical establishment that maggots could cure some of the toughest<br /> infections.<br /> In the 1930s hundreds of hospitals used maggot therapy. Maggot therapy requires the right kind of<br /> larvae. Only the maggots of blowflies (a family that includes common bluebottles and greenbottles) will do<br /> the job; they devour dead tissue, whether in an open wound or in a corpse. Some other maggots, on the<br /> other hand, such as those of the screw-worm eat live tissue. They must be avoided. When blowfly eggs<br /> hatch in a patient’s wound, the maggots eat the dead flesh where gangrene-causing bacteria thrive. They<br /> also excrete compounds that are lethal to bacteria they don’t happen to swallow. Meanwhile, they ignore<br /> live flesh, and in fact, give it a gentle growth-stimulating massage simply by crawling over it. When they<br /> metamorphose into flies, they leave without a trace – although in the process, they might upset the<br /> hospital staff as they squirm around in a live patient. When sulfa drugs, the first antibiotics, emerged<br /> around the time of World War II, maggot therapy quickly faded into obscurity.<br /> Question 16: According to the passage, William Baer was shocked because _________<br /> A. the soldiers’ abdominal wounds had become infested with maggots<br /> B. two soldiers had lain on the battlefield for a week<br /> C. the soldiers had recovered better than those in a military hospital<br /> D. the medical establishment refused to accept his findings<br /> Question 17: The word “renaissance” is closest in meaning to _________<br /> A. revival<br /> B. resistance<br /> C. condemnation<br /> D. support<br /> Question 18: All of the following are true EXCEPT _________<br /> A. maggots come from eggs<br /> B. maggots eat bacteria<br /> C. maggots are larvae<br /> D.

It then began building a series of forts along the coast of the eastern part<br /> of the country to facilitate its defenses.<br /> The largest of these forts was Fort Jefferson, which was begun in 1846. This fort was built on<br /> Garden Key, one of a cluster of small coral islands 70 miles west of Key West. At the time of its<br /> construction Fort Jefferson was believed to be of primary strategic importance to the United States because<br /> http://facebook.com/thithudaihoc<br /> <br /> Trang 3/8 - Mã đề thi 136<br /> <br /> www.DeThiThuDaiHoc.com - Đề Thi Thử Đại Học<br /> of its location at the entryway to the Gulf of Mexico. Because of its location at the entrance to a great body<br /> of water, it became known as the Gibraltar of the Gulf, in reference to the island located at the mouth of the<br /> Mediterranean. The fort itself was a massive structure. It was hexagonal in shape, with 8-foot-thick walls,<br /> and was surrounded by a medieval-style moat for added security. Covering most of the Garden Key, it was<br /> approximately half a mile in circumference.<br /> In the latter half of the nineteenth century, during the Civil War and its aftermath, the fort was used<br /> as a prison rather than a military installation. The most notorious of its prisoners was Dr. Samuel Mudd, a<br /> physician who was the most probably innocently involved in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The<br /> actual assassin, John Wilkes Booth, broke his leg as he left from the stage of the Ford Theater during the<br /> assassination. Dr. Mudd set Booth’s broken leg, unaware of Booth’s involvement in the assassination. As a<br /> result of this action, Dr. Mudd was sentenced to life in prison and remanded to Fort Jefferson. He was<br /> pardoned after only four years because of his courageous efforts in combating an epidemic of yellow fever<br /> that ravaged the fort.<br /> Continuous use of Fort Jefferson ended in the 1870s, although the U.S. Navy continued with<br /> sporadic use of it into the twentieth century. Today, the massive ruins still remain on the tiny island that<br /> stands guard over the entrance to the gulf, undisturbed except for the occasional sightseer who ventures<br /> out from the coast to visit.<br /> Question 31: The passage is mainly about _________<br /> A. a series of forts<br /> B. a series of events at one fort<br /> C. a single event at one fort<br /> D. a series of events at several forts<br /> Question 32: All of the following are true about Fort Jefferson EXCEPT that _________<br /> A. it is on an island<br /> B. it was built because of its strategic location<br /> C. it is in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico<br /> D. it has been compared with an island at the opening of the Mediterranean<br /> Question 33: The word “massive” is closest in meaning to _________<br /> A. big<br /> B. impressive<br /> C. lovely<br /> D. high<br /> Question 34: The pronoun “it” refers to _________<br /> A. fort<br /> B. shape<br /> C. moat<br /> D. circumference<br /> Question 35: All of the following are stated about Dr. Samuel Mudd EXCEPT that _________<br /> A. he was a medical doctor<br /> B. he cared for Lincoln’s assassin<br /> C. he was imprisoned at Fort Jefferson<br /> D. he was most likely guilty of Lincoln’s assassination<br /> Question 36: How was Fort Jefferson most likely used in 1865?<br /> A.
