Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct

Probably the most important factor governing the severity of forest fires is weather. Hot, dry weather
lowers the moisture content of fuels. Once a fire has started, wind is etremely critical because it influences
the oxygen supply and the rate of spread. Forest type and forest conditions are also important factors. For
example, fire is more likely to occur in conifers than in hardwoods; slash-covered or brushy areas are
especially hazardous because the rate at which combustion consumes fuel is proportional to fuel volume.
Some fires are caused by lightning; others are caused by people. Those caused by people may be
accidental or intentional (incendiary). The causes of fire in the United States show large regional
differences. In the Rocky Mountains more than 70 percent of the fires are caused by lightning, whereas
incendiary fires amount to only about 1 percent. In contrast, more than 40 percent of the fires in the South
are incendiary, whereas lightning causes only 1 percent.

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.

Diabetes mellitus is a disorder that is marked by elevated blood glucose (commonly referred to as blood
sugar). A large portion of the food that we eat is converted by the body into glucose. The blood delivers
glucose throughout the body, but the hormone insulin is needed in order for it to be transported into most
cells. Insulin comes from the pancreas. If the pancreas does not make sufficient insulin or cells are resistant
to its activity of promoting glucose uptake, the blood glucose level becomes elevated.
Type I diabetes represents approximately 5-10% of diabetic patients. It usually has a rapid onset and
most frequently manifest in children and adolescents.
Because the body cannot use dietary glucose, the level in the blood is elevated and excess glucose is lost
in the urine, causing weakness, thirst and hunger. The treatment for type I diabetes is insulin replacement.
Type II diabetes is found in some 120 million adults, who are able to produce insulin but the liver and body
cells are resistant to its actions. Some type II diabetics can be effectively treated with diet alone, but many
require oral medications.
Historically, this has been thought of as maturity onset diabetes because it tends to occur after age 50,
but there has been a dramatic increase in because it tends to occur after age 50, but there has been a dramatic
increase in the number of adolescents with the disease. This is thought to be due to increased obesity and
decreased physical activity in this age group.
The major complication of diabetes is damage to the heart and blood vessels, which can cause heart
attacks, strokes, and poor circulation. The effects on blood vessels also increase the risk of developing high
blood pressure (hypertension).
Diabetics have an increased risk of eye disease. Damage to the retina associated with diabetes is the
leading cause of blindness in adults under age 65 in the US.
When blood glucose is high, nerve cells swell and scar. The disease associated with damage to the nerves
outside of the brain and spinal cord is referred to as peripheral neuropathy. The most common type of
neuropathy in diabetics involves impairment of sensory nerves. Impaired nerve signals to the brain about
sensations such as the detection of heat or pain may lead to burns or undetected cuts that can become
infected. If untreated, infected foot and leg ulcers can spread to the bone and may require amputation.
Burning, pain or tingling sensations in the hands, legs and feet are also common.
Câu 44: Insulin is used to _______.
A. break down glucose.
B. transport glucose into cells.

C. make glucose.
D. change food into glucose.
Câu 45: When blood sugar levels are elevated, glucose is lost through the _______.
A. pancreas
B. blood
C. liver
D. urine
Câu 46: The treatment for type I diabetes is _______.
A. increased exercise.
B. insulin replacement.
C. drinking lots of water.
D. controlling diet.
Câu 47: Type II diabetes is increasing in adolescents because of _______.
A. both of these
B. increased obesity.
C. decreased physical activity.
D. none of these.
Câu 48: The major complication of diabetes is _______.
A. damage to the heart and blood vessels
B. nerve damage
C. damage to the eyes
D. damage to the kidneys.
Câu 49: A disease damaging nerves outside the brain and spinal cord _______.
A. hypertension.
B. stroke.
C. diabetes.
D. neuropathy.
