Đọc và trả lời các câu hỏi từ câu 31 đến câu 35
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.
People have been donating blood since the early 20th century to help accident victims and patients
undergoing surgical procedures. Usually a pint of whole blood is donated, and it is then divided into
platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells. People can donate blood about once every two months.
Transfusing the blood from the donor to the recipient is straightforward. It involves taking the blood from
a donor’s arm vein by means ofa hypodermic syringe. The blood flows through a plastic tube to a
collection bag or bottle that contains sodium citrate, which prevents the blood from clotting. When the
blood is given to a patient, a plastic tube and hypodermic needle are connected to the recipient’s arm. The
blood blow down from the container by gravity. This is a slow process and may last as long as 2 hours to
complete the infusion of blood into the recipient. The patient is protected from being infected during the
transfusion. Only sterile container, tubing, and needles are used, and this helps ensure that transfused or
stored blood is not exposed to disease causing bacteria. Negative reactions to transfusions are not unusual.
The recipient may suffer an allergic reaction or be sensitive to donor leukocytes. Some may suffer from an
undetected red cell incompatibility. Unexplained reactions are also fairly common. Although they are rare,
other causes of such negative reactions include contaminated blood, air bubbles in the blood, overloading

of the circulatory system through administration of excess blood, or sensitivity to donor plasma or
platelets. Today, hospitals and blood banks go to great lengths to screen all blood donors and their blood.
All donated blood is routinely and rigorously tested for diseases, such as HIV, hepatitis B and syphilis.
When the recipient is a newborn or an infant, the blood is usually irradiated to eliminate harmful elements.
Donated bood is washed, and the white blood cells and platelets removed. Storing the blood sometimes
requires a freezing process. To freeze the red blood cells, a glycerol solution is added. To unfreeze, the
glycerolis removed. The ability to store blood for long periods has been a boon to human health.
Câu 31: According to the passage, how often can people donate blood for red bood cells?
A. Every four months
B. Every three months
C. Every two months
D. Every month
Câu 32: All the following are mentioned as potental negative reactions to transfusion EXCEPT
___________.
A. Sensitivity to donor leukocytes
B. Red-cell incompatibility

C. Air bubbles in the blood

D. Allergy

Câu 33: What answer choice is closest in meaning to the word “undetected”?
A. not found
B. not wanted
C. not captured.

D. not illustrated

Câu 34: Based on the information in the passage, what can be infered about blood transfused to infants
and newborns?
A. It is not treated differentlt from adults
B. It is not dangerous to children
C. It is rigorously tested as blood for adults
D. It is treated with radiant energy
Câu 35: What does the author imply in the passage?
A. Clotting cannot be prevented.
B. Freezing blood destroys platelets.
C. Donating blood benefits mankind.
D. Tranfusing blood is a dangerous process.

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.
People have been donating blood since the early 20th century to help accident victims and patients
undergoing surgical procedures. Usually a pint of whole blood is donated, and it is then divided into
platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells. People can donate blood about once every two months.
Transfusing the blood from the donor to the recipient is straightforward. It involves taking the blood from
a donor’s arm vein by means ofa hypodermic syringe. The blood flows through a plastic tube to a
collection bag or bottle that contains sodium citrate, which prevents the blood from clotting. When the
blood is given to a patient, a plastic tube and hypodermic needle are connected to the recipient’s arm. The
blood blow down from the container by gravity. This is a slow process and may last as long as 2 hours to
complete the infusion of blood into the recipient. The patient is protected from being infected during the
transfusion. Only sterile container, tubing, and needles are used, and this helps ensure that transfused or
stored blood is not exposed to disease causing bacteria. Negative reactions to transfusions are not unusual.
The recipient may suffer an allergic reaction or be sensitive to donor leukocytes. Some may suffer from an
undetected red cell incompatibility. Unexplained reactions are also fairly common. Although they are rare,

other causes of such negative reactions include contaminated blood, air bubbles in the blood, overloading
of the circulatory system through administration of excess blood, or sensitivity to donor plasma or
platelets. Today, hospitals and blood banks go to great lengths to screen all blood donors and their blood.
All donated blood is routinely and rigorously tested for diseases, such as HIV, hepatitis B and syphilis.
When the recipient is a newborn or an infant, the blood is usually irradiated to eliminate harmful elements.
Donated bood is washed, and the white blood cells and platelets removed. Storing the blood sometimes
requires a freezing process. To freeze the red blood cells, a glycerol solution is added. To unfreeze, the
Mã đề thi 079 - Trang số : 3


glycerolis removed. The ability to store blood for long periods has been a boon to human health.
