Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions Write your answers in the blanks provided below (5 points)
Fiber-scopes are one of the most important outcomes of the science of fiber optics Fibers made of glass and transparent acrylic plastic are capable of conveying light energy, and when thousands of these fibers are combined in what is called a fiberscope, they can transmit images The most common fiber-scopes contain 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 microns
Fiber-scopes have a wide range of applications In the medical field, physicians use fiber-scopes to examine internal organs and as an aid in delicate surgeries Miniature probes have also been developed to view muscle fiber, skin tissue, and blood cells Fiber-scopes have also found varied uses in industry, particularly to inspect or control operations in inaccessible areas Bundles of fiber-scopes fused together in a solid plate, called a faceplate, are being used in the manufacturer of television tubes and other cathode-ray tube devices
The most far reaching applications of fiber-optic technology are in communication Optical fibers carry voice messages for telephone service The sound of the voice is electronically broken down into thousands 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
36 How optical fibers carry voice massage?
A By fusing bundles of fiber-scopes 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
37 It can be inferred from the passage that fiber-scopes A will play a major role in the information age
B have more uses in industry than in medicine
C will decrease in importance as they become more common D have reached the peak of the development
38 Fiber-scopes are being used to all of the following EXCEPT
A assist in delicate surgeries B control operations in inaccessible areas C convert light pulses to electrical signals D transmit images
39 The main topic of the passage is: A The birth of the “electronic superhighway”
B The various applications of fiber-optic technology C How fiber-scopes have enhanced the field of medicine D How sound may be transformed into light
40 The passage will most likely be followed by a discussion of A homes and businesses of the future
B the structure of fiber-scopes
