Part 2. Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question.
MODERN SURGERY
The need for a surgical operation , especially an emergency operation, almost always comes as a
severe shock to the patient and his family. Despite modern advances, most people still have an irrational fear
of hospitals and anesthetics. Patients do not often believe they really need surgery- cutting into a part of the
body as opposed to treatment with drugs.
In the early years of the twentieth century there was little specialisation in surgery. A good surgeon
was capable of performing almost every operation that had been devised up to that time. Today the situation is
different. Operations are now being carried out that were not even dreamed of 60 years ago. The heart can be
safely opened and its valves required. Clogged blood vessels can be cleaned out, and broken ones mended or
replaced. A lung, the whole stomach, or even part of the brain can be removed and still permit the patient to
live a comfortable and satisfactory life. However, not every surgeon wants to, or is qualified to carry out every
type of modern operation. The scope of surgery has increased remarkably. Its safety has increased too. The
hospital stay after surgery has been shortened to as a week for most major operation.
Many developments in modern surgery are almost incredible. They include the replacement of
damaged blood vessels with stimulated ones made of plastic; the replacement of heart valves with plastic
substitutes; the transplanting of tissues such as the lens of the eye; the invention of the artificial kidney to
clean the blood of poisons at regular intervals and the development of heart and lung machines to keep
patients alive during very long operations. All theses things open a hopeful vista for the future of surgery.
One of the most revolutionary areas of modern surgery is that of organ transplants. Until a few years
ago, no person, except an identical twin, was able to accept into his body the tissues of another person without
reacting against them and eventually killing them. recently, however, it has been discovered that with the use
of X-ray and special drugs, it is possible to graft tissues from one person to another which will survive for
periods of a year or more. Kidney’s have been successfully transplanted between non- identical twins. Heart
and lung transplants have been reasonably successful in animals, though rejection problems in humans have
yet to be solved.
“Spare parts” surgery, the simple routine replacement of all worn-out organs by new ones, is still a
dream of the distant future. As yet, surgery is not ready for such miracles. In the meantime, you can be happy
if your doctor says to you: “Yes, I think it is possible to operate ”.
76. Most people are afraid of being operated on _______________
A. in spite of improvements in modern surgery
B. because they think modern drugs are dangerous
C. because they do not believe they need anesthetics
D. unless it is an emergency operation
77. Surgeons in the early years of the 20th century, compared with modern ones, ____________
A. has less to learn about surgery B. needed more knowledge
C. could perform every operation known today D.were more trusted by their parents.

79. Modern surgeons ___________________

B. are not as highly as the new type
C. are obliged to specialize more than their predecessors
D. often perform operations which are not really needed
80. The main difficult with organ transplants is _______________
A. it is difficult to find organs of exactly the same size
B. their body’s tendency to reject alien tissues
C. only identical twins can give permission for their organs to be exchanged
D. the patient is not allowed to use drugs after them
