Lady Liberty
New York City is undoubtedly one of the most famous cities in the world. There are several
landmarks such as the Empire State Building, Broadway, and Times Square which have come to
symbolize the Big Apple. Although these landmarks are all impressive, nothing captures the true spirit
of the city like a gigantic, greenish sculpture that stands proudly in New York Harbour: the famed
Statue of Liberty.
The Statue of Liberty was created as a special gift to the US by French sculptor Frédéric
Auguste Bartholdi. It was designed to represent the friendship between the French and American
people, two close allies that fought against the British during the American Revolutionary War.
Initially, Bartholdi anticipated that he would be able to finish the statue by 1876. The project was
conceived as a joint venture. The French would fund and create the statue and send it to the US, while
Americans would provide a location and build a pedestal to display it on. The initial completion date
would eventually be delayed, however, due to financial issues with both nations. Bartholdi had some
technical issues to deal with as well. He had never designed an enormous copper structure of this size
and he required some expert assistance. Therefore, Bartholdi recruited Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, the
designer of the Eiffel Tower to help him. After nine years of hard work, the 151 -foot, 22-ton statue
was eventually completed and presented to the American Ambassador in France. It then had to be
taken apart and separated into crates before being delivered to the US. It took another two years before
Americans were able to raise enough public funds to build the pedestal that she would stand on. But
the task was finally completed and the Statue of Liberty was assembled and dedicated on October 28,
1886.
Over the years, the symbolism of the Statue of Liberty continued to grow more and more
important until it became a key symbol of the entire nation. During the late 19 th and early 20lh century,
it was the first landmark that waves of immigrants saw as they sailed into Ellis Island. The sight of
this symbol of freedom gave them hope and inspiration that their life would be better in their new
country. Even today, people from all around the world see it as a powerful symbol of the American
democracy.
Question 31. What reasons does the passage give for why the Statue of Liberty is special?
A. It is the most expensive landmark in the US.
B. It is a key center for economic decisions.
C. It is located very close to Times Square.

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 from 43 to 50.
The Advancing Development of Artificial Limbs
It wasn’t very long ago that losing a limb automatically meant a drastic drop in the quality of a
person’s life. Thanks to the wonders of modem science, people now are recovering from all sorts of
horrendous injuries that let them disabled. The reason they are able to do so is remarkable advances
made in the field of artificial limbs.
Doctors have been creating prosthetic limbs for their patients dating back to ancient Greece.
For most of history, however, these replacements were mainly for cosmetic purposes. Pirates, knights,
foot soldiers that lost their limbs in battle would get them, so they wouldn’t lose face when returning
to society. It wasn’t until the mid-19 ,h century that doctors were able to perform surgeries to reliably
attach limbs to people’s bodies and amputate limbs without causing serious infection.
Modern artificial limbs represent a tremendous leap forward in terms of form and function.
Today’s limbs are far more durable and can withstand a lot more wear and tear. An amazing example
of how far artificial limbs have progressed is the Flex-Foot Cheetah. Made from carbon fiber, it is able
to store energy as the person moves, which enables the wearer to run and jump. The technology is so
good that approximately 90 percent of all Special Olympic amputees use them in competition.
Meanwhile, the Bebionic3 has emerged as the most advanced prosthetic arm available. It has
been nicknamed “The Terminator” because it is similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s mechanical limbs
in the famous blockbuster film. The

Mã đề thi 001 - Trang 4/6

 Bebionic3 can perform a multitude of tasks including writing, tying a shoelace, lifting heavy
objects, and even pouring a beer. Wearers simply push a button on the base of the arm and the
Bebionic3 will work its magic.
In September 2013, scientists took another giant leap forward when they successfully fitted a
patient with an artificial leg that can be controlled by thought. Two of the patient’s nerves were
attached to his hamstring muscle. These nerves then interact with sensors inside the artificial leg.
Sensors will then transmit these messages to a computer which will follow through on his instructions.
Therefore, if the patient wants to stretch out his leg, the computer will understand this command and
send a message to the limb and instruct it to do so. If artificial limb technology keeps advancing like
this, losing a limb may not be such a big deal.
Question 38. What would happen when someone in the past needed to get an artificial limb?
A. They usually die very quickly.
B. They would need to get the limb replaced within months.
C. Their new limb would function better than the old one.
D. Their life wouldn’t be as good as before.
Question 39. What was the main reason that soldiers received artificial limbs?
A. So they can continue to fool the enemy. B. So other people wouldn’t think less of them.
C. To allow them to fight better than ever. D. To make them more likely to follow orders.
Question 40. Why did artificial limbs progress in the mid-19th century?
A. Doctors became better with surgery.
B. Artificial limbs were made from stronger materials.
C. Governments passed laws that made artificial limbs legal.
D. Patients are more likely to get artificial limbs.
Question 41.Which of the following best matches the meaning of the word “multitude” in paragraph 4?
A. courage B. limit C. variety D. single
Question 42. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The cutting edge of advancement.
B. An artificial limb to stop working.
C. A new technology that failed.
D. An idea for a limb that will probably never work better.
Question 43. All of the following about modem artificial limbs are true EXCEPT that
A. they last for a longer period of time.
B. they can supply energy by themselves.
C. they can lift heavy things by thought.
D. they can be used in competitions by the disabled.
Question 44. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Doctors began performing surgery in the mid-19th century.
B. Artificial limbs were attached to patients a long time ago.
C. The Flex-Foot Cheetah can help ordinary athletes break records.
D. The Bebionic3 was used in the film “The Terminator” to make special effects.

A. the computer B. the patient C. the leg D. the sensor
