Fiberscopes are one of the most important outcomes of the science of fiber optics. Fibers made of gl ass and transparent acrylic plastic are capable of conveying light energy, and when thousands of these f ibers are combined in what is called a fiberscope, they can transmit images. The most common fiberscopes conta in about 750,000 fibers, each 0.001 centimeter, or 10 microns, in diameter. For certain uses, the diameter of the fiber may be as small as 5 microns. Fiberscopes have a wide range of applications. In the medical field, physicians use fiberscopes to examine internal organs and as an aid in delicate surgeries. Miniature probed have also been develop ed to view muscle fiber, skin tissue, and blood cells. Fiberscopes have also found varied uses in industry, particularly to inspect or control operations in inaccessible areas. Bundles of fiberscope fused together in a solid plate, called a faceplate, are being used in the manufacture of television picture tubes and o ther cathode-ray tube devices. The most far-reaching applications of fiber-optic technology are in communications. Optical fibers carry voice messages for telephone service. The sound of the voice is electronically broken down into thou sands of pulses per second, which causes a transmitting laser to send coordinated pulses of light through the optical fibers. At the receiving end, the light pulses are converted to electrical signals and the voice message is reconstructed. Light-wave communication systems can handle an immensely greater number of telephone calls and television programs than the current system, and they will form the basis of the “electronic superhighway” expected to crisscross the nation in the near future of the information age. Question 51. How do optical fibers carry voice messages? A. By fusing bundles of fiberscopes into a faceplate B. By converting electrical signals to light pulses C. By sending coordinated electrical pulses through optical fibers D. By using cathode-ray tube devices Question 52. Approximately how many fibers does a fiberscope contain? A. 750,000 B. 1,000,000 C. 500,000 D. 25,000 Question 53. The word “inaccessible” means A. difficult to find B. extremely small C. hard to reach D. impossible to climb Question 54. It can be inferred from the passage that fiberscopes A. have more uses in industry than in medicine B. will play a major role in the information age C. will decrease in importance as they become more common. D. have reached the peak of the their development Question 55. The main topic of the passage is A. The birth of the “electronic superhighway” B. The various applications of fiber-optic technology C. How fiberscopes have enhanced the field of medicine D. How sound may be transformed into light Question 56. The word “they” refers to A. fiberscopes B. light-wave communication systems C. television programs D. telephone calls Question 57.

Rain forests are being destroyed at a (63)_______ of 78 million acres (31 million hectares) per year; an area larger than P oland. With habitat destruction (64) _______ loss of species. The World Resources Institute predicts that deforestation rates of 15 million hectares (65) _______ species in the closed canopy forests by 35% by 2040. In Brazil, the (66) _________ average rate of destruction between 1979 – 1990 was 5.4 million acres per year. In 2003 a record 10,000 square miles of Brazil (67) _______. Deforestation causes a multitude of effects (68) _________ the natural environment. Vegatation is degraded (69) ________ a loss of nutrient-rich litter and microorganisms to decompose organic matter. The loss of shade accelerates leaching, soil (70) _______ and drying. The hard surface caused by heating prevents the progress of water infiltration, causing excess runoff and flooding. In addition to the effect on the local vegetation and hydrology, forest removal impacts atmospheric composition, evapotranspiration, and rainfall. Question 61.

A. washing B. decay C. exhaust D. erosion Read the passage and choose the best option for each question: Clothing is a distinctly human artifact. Even more than the use of tools, it distinguishes humans from the other creatures on this planet. While there are other creatures which use implements to a greater or lesser degree, clothing is unique to humanity. Clothing is also uniquely human, in that it serves more than one function. The basic purpose of clothing was utilitarian. By putting on an artificial skin, humans were able to move into regions for which they would otherwise have been unsuited. An extreme example of this use of clothing can be seen among the Eskimos, and other people who live in extreme climates. However, clothing was not only used for protection from the elements, but has also been a means of displaying one’s status and sense of style for as long as humans have had civilization. Thus clothing also developed in countries where there is no real practical need for it , apart from the other , very human function of preserving the modesty of the wearer . Clothing tells us many things about the wearer. It can be used to indicate whether she is a member of a particular group or organization, the most extreme example of this type of clothing being a uniform. It tells us a lot about the importance of clothing that the clothes a person was wearing have been, literally, the difference between life and death. In war, soldiers recognize friends and enemies by their uniforms. Spies may be shot if captured, but if they go about their business in the uniform of their country, they are regarded as legitimat e members of that country’s armed forces. Uniforms can also be less formal. Anyone who has seen a group of teenagers walking together will have noticed that their clothing conforms to the standard set by their particular group. Nor are teens th e only ones who are subject to such pressures. It is a rare businessman who doesn’t feel the need to wear a suit and tie. Most politicians also try to be neat and well - dressed. People who wish to impress others often do so by the selection
of their clothes - sometimes by choosing more expensive versions. This can be seen particularly in the fashion industry, where clothing by a particular designer fetches prices which are out of all proportion to the actual utilitarian value of the material. Therefore, even though we are steadily managing to adjust our micro – environments to temperatures which are as close to ideal as the human body wants, and even though sexual taboos of undress are b eing steadily eroded. It is highly unlikely that there will be no use for clothing in our future, unless humanity evolves into a completely new species. Question 71.Clothes are uniquely human because they ………………………..

Light-wave communication systems can handle an immensely greater number of telephone calls and television programs than the current system, and they will form the basis of the “electronic superhighway” expected to crisscross the nation in the near future of the information age.

Even more than the use of tools, it distinguishes humans fr om the other creatures on this planet. While there are other creatures which use implements to a greater or lesser degree, clothing is unique to humanity. Clothing is also uniquely human, in that it serves more than one function.
The basic purpose of clothing was utilitarian. By putting on an artificial skin, humans were able to move into regions for which they would otherwise have been unsuited. An extreme example of this use of clothing can be seen among the Eskimos, and other people who live in extreme climates. However, clothing was not only used for protection from the elements, but has also been a means of displaying one’s status and sense of style for as long as humans have had civilization. Thus clothing also developed in countries where t here is no real practical need for it , apart from the other , very human function of preserving the modesty of the wearer . Clothing tells us many things about the wearer. It can be used to indicate whether she is a member of a particular group or organization, the most extreme example of this type of clothing being a uniform. It tells us a lot about the importance of clothing that the clothes a person was wearing have been, literally, the difference between life and death. In war, soldiers recognize friends and enemies by their uniforms. Spies may be shot if captured, but if they go about their business in the uniform of their country, they are regarded as legitimate members of that country’s armed forces. Uniforms can also be less formal. Anyone who has seen a group of teenagers walking together will have noticed that their clothing conforms to the standard set by their particular group. Nor are teens the only ones who are subject to such pressures. It is a rare businessman who doesn’t feel the need to wear a suit and tie. Most politicians also try to be neat and well - dressed. People who wish to impress others often do so by the selection of their clothes - sometimes by choosing more expensive versions. This can be seen particularly in the fashion industry, where clothing by a particular designer fetches prices which are out of all proportion to the actual utilitarian value of the material. Therefore, even though we are steadily managing to adjust our micro – environments to temperatures which are as close to ideal as the human body wants, and even though sexual taboos of undress are being stead ily eroded . It is highly unlikely that there will be no use for clothing in our future, unless humanity evolves into a completely new species.
