Passage
1

Questions 33 to 37 are based on the following passage:

In the past, operations were difficult. Until the middle of the eighteen fifties,
surgery was very dangerous. Many patients died after even the smallest operations.
This was because bacteria
entered the cuts in the patients’ bodied and started
infection. In some countries, up to 90 percent of patients died from infection after
operations. In 1865, however, Joseph Lister, a British surgeon, found an answer to
the problem. He used an “antiseptic” during and after operations. This killed the
dangerous bacteria and most of his patients lived. Since then, surgeons have used
antiseptics in all operations.
Surgery has developed in many important ways since the day of Joseph Lister.
Today, when patients go to hospital for an operation, they can expect the best
treatment, in clean and hygienic conditions.

Questions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage:

Some 4000 Americans ambitions to become physicians are studying for their M.
D. s abroad. Many were rejected by U.S. medical schools simply because there was
no room. Last year, for example, some 13,000 of 35,000 would-be physicians who
applied to U.S. schools were accepted. Of those who were turned down, well over 600
are trying the foreign route.

But gaining admittance to a good foreign school may be a problem. British
medic
al schools give priority to Britons , and Canada’s world
-renowned McGill
University School of Medicine takes only a handful of well qualified Americans
annually. But several schools do welcome U.S. medical students---if they can master
the local language. More than 500 Americans are enrolled in the Belgian universities
at Brussels and Louvain , for example. Some 800 attend the Italian University at
Bologna; 175 at Rome. Mexico’s Autonomous University of Guadalajara numbers
1,300 gringos among its 4,000 students.
Despite difficulties abroad, many Americans complete their medical educations,
and manage to win the respect of their professors and classmates. One second-year
student at Louvain has a simple explanation for those successes: “ Anyone who comes
here to be motivated. You have to learn a new language, the school is constant hard
work, and it’s difficult to get back into the States to practice”.

Before they can intern or practice in the United States, graduates of foreign
schools must pass a special examination required by medical-education authorities.
The tough test is designed primarily to weed out those who are unable to speak
English or whose medical education is not up to U.S. standards.

medical schools have to face.

same test before practice

D. As many as one-
third of last year’s applicants of medical schools are now
applying to foreign schools

39. Which is following is true about foreign medical education ?

A. A lot of foreign medical schools do not welcome U.S. students simply
because they have to consider the applicants form their own countries first.
B. To enter foreign medical schools is much easier than to gain admittance into
American medical schools if the problem of language is not regarded.
C. There are not many good foreign medical schools according to American
students
D. There are so many difficulties in studying abroad that not many American
students become successful in foreign

medical schools

foreign, medical schools have to face.
