A new British medical instrument is about to change dramatically our ability to recognise disease hidden inside the body It
is called the magnetic scanner, and it gives information about the body which current machines, such as the brain scanner and
the more recent body scanner, cannot provide And unlike existing machines, the new machine does not use X-ray radiationwaves, which make it much safer for patients
Unlike existing scanners, a magnetic scanner can show the side or the back of a suspect part of the body Used on, forexample, a lung with suspected damage, it can turn the image of the lung to give a series of different views The image is notsimply worked out in the computer's "imagination": the magnetic scanner actually examines every side of the lung Whenexamining the softer part of the body with existing scanners, doctors frequently have to use a "contrast medium" to make amuscular organ show up to X-ray waves, the usual "contrast-medium" given to patients before a stomach X-ray scan takes
place is harmless, but for some brain scans so that it passes into the brain This is unpleasant and painful and it can be
dangerous The magnetic scanner needs no "contrast medium"
The new machine can also see in greater detail than ever before Growths of all kinds show up clearly on the brain and so
do the dead patches which are the signs of the disease, multiple sclerosis Until now patients complaining of double vision or
an inability to control their muscles from time to time could be suffering from some much more easily cured disease and abrain scanner could not distinguish between these with certainty The doctor can now definitely say whether or not cancer of
multiple sclerosis is present Previously, these diseases have been missed and patients have been given false information
about their health The technique is still improving with great speed: pictures produced a couple of years ago look very simplecompared with those of today
Question 44: What does the new magnetic scanner machine do?
A It sends waves round the diseased part of the body.
B It can look right through a diseased part of the body.
C It uses a computer to "imagine" different views of the body.
D It looks at a diseased part of the body from all directions.
Question 45: The word “it” in line 10 refers to
A The muscular organ B The brain scan C The stomach X-ray D The X-ray wave
Question 46: What disadvantage do existing machines have?
A It is often necessary to use a contrast medium B The contrast recorded are too strong.
C Patients need an injection before they are used D The X-ray waves are sometimes painful.
Trang 4Question 47: The machine is useful in identifying the disease multiple sclerosis, because it shows
C dead areas in the brain D cancer like growths.
Question 48: In what way is the new machine an improvement?
A The techniques involved can be learned quickly.
B It can cure some diseases much more easily.
C It can show all the details of a diseased part of the body.
D It will never give a double view.
Question 49: "Sclerosis" means
C tuberculosis D a disease that causes indigestion.
Question 50: The word “missed” in live 17 is closest in meaning to
A failed to do B notied something is lost
C felt sad because of the absence D escaped from doing

A new British medical instrument is about to change dramatically our ability to recognise disease hidden inside the body It
is called the magnetic scanner, and it gives information about the body which current machines, such as the brain scanner and
the more recent body scanner, cannot provide And unlike existing machines, the new machine does not use X-ray radiationwaves, which make it much safer for patients
Unlike existing scanners, a magnetic scanner can show the side or the back of a suspect part of the body Used on, forexample, a lung with suspected damage, it can turn the image of the lung to give a series of different views The image is notsimply worked out in the computer's "imagination": the magnetic scanner actually examines every side of the lung Whenexamining the softer part of the body with existing scanners, doctors frequently have to use a "contrast medium" to make amuscular organ show up to X-ray waves, the usual "contrast-medium" given to patients before a stomach X-ray scan takes
place is harmless, but for some brain scans so that it passes into the brain This is unpleasant and painful and it can be
dangerous The magnetic scanner needs no "contrast medium"

do the dead patches which are the signs of the disease, multiple sclerosis Until now patients complaining of double vision or
an inability to control their muscles from time to time could be suffering from some much more easily cured disease and abrain scanner could not distinguish between these with certainty The doctor can now definitely say whether or not cancer of
multiple sclerosis is present Previously, these diseases have been missed and patients have been given false information
