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.

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

A. maggots come from eggs B. maggots eat bacteria

C. maggots are larvae D. William Baer discovered a new type of maggot

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.
In the first half of the nineteenth century, the U.S. government decided that it needed to set up a
system for protecting its coastline. It then began building a series of forts along the coast of the eastern part

of the country to facilitate its defenses.
The largest of these forts was Fort Jefferson, which was begun in 1846. This fort was built on
Garden Key, one of a cluster of small coral islands 70 miles west of Key West. At the time of its
construction Fort Jefferson was believed to be of primary strategic importance to the United States because
www.DeThiThuDaiHoc.com - Đề Thi Thử Đại Học
Trang 4/8 - Mã đề thi 136
of its location at the entryway to the Gulf of Mexico. Because of its location at the entrance to a great body
of water, it became known as the Gibraltar of the Gulf, in reference to the island located at the mouth of the
Mediterranean. The fort itself was a massive
structure. It was hexagonal in shape, with 8-foot-thick walls,
and was surrounded by a medieval-style moat for added security. Covering most of the Garden Key, it was
approximately half a mile in circumference.
In the latter half of the nineteenth century, during the Civil War and its aftermath, the fort was used
as a prison rather than a military installation. The most notorious of its prisoners was Dr. Samuel Mudd, a
physician who was the most probably innocently involved in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The
actual assassin, John Wilkes Booth, broke his leg as he left from the stage of the Ford Theater during the
assassination. Dr. Mudd set Booth’s broken leg, unaware of Booth’s involvement in the assassination. As a
result of this action, Dr. Mudd was sentenced to life in prison and remanded to Fort Jefferson. He was
pardoned after only four years because of his courageous efforts in combating an epidemic of yellow fever
that ravaged the fort.
Continuous use of Fort Jefferson ended in the 1870s, although the U.S. Navy continued with
sporadic use of it into the twentieth century. Today, the massive ruins still remain on the tiny island that
stands guard over the entrance to the gulf, undisturbed except for the occasional sightseer who ventures
out from the coast to visit.
