1.True or false questions:15%

(1) Lightwave Communication

The making of glass is very old industry, at least 4500 years old. Glass has many extraordinary qualities and it is frequently being used in new ways.

One of the most interesting uses for glass is in telephone communication. Scientists have developed glass fibres as thin as human hair which are designed to carry light signals. When the light reaches the other end, it is first changed into electrical signs which are in turn converted into sound messages.

Called lightwave communication, the new system was used successfully in an experiment in Chicago in 1997. During the experiment, two glass fibres were able to carry 672 conversation at the same time. The lightwave cable, containing 144glass fibres, has the capability to carry 50000conversation at the same time.

The lightwave communication system has two important advantages. First, the glass fibres cables are smaller and weigh less than copper cables. Second, they cost less.

Perhaps it can be said that telephone communication has entered the age of light!

Judge the following statements, whether they are true(T) or false(F):

41.According to the passage, people started to make glass no less than 4500 years ago.

42.One of the extraordinary qualities of glass is that it can carry electric signals.

43.Neither the light nor the electrical signals have to be changed in any way.

44.According to the passage,the new telephone communication system was put into actual use in 1997.

45.From the passage,you can tell that people glass fibre cables to copper cables, because, in comparison with copper wire, glass fibre is less expensive.

2.Choose the best answer according to the test.(每小題1分共35分)

(OMITTED)

In science the meaning of the word “explain” suffers with civilization ‘s every step in search of reality. Science cannot really explain electricity, magnetism, and gravitation; their effects can be measured and predicted , but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales who first speculated on the electrification of amber. Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can never discover what these mysterious forces “really” are. Electricity, Bertrand Russell says; “is not a thing, like St. Paul’s Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave. When we have told how things behave when they are electrified, and under what circumstances they are electrified, we have told all there is to tell.” Until recently scientists would have disapproved of such an idea. Aristotle, for example, whose natural science dominated Western thought fort two thousand years, believe that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoning from self-evident principles. He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principles that everything in the universe has its proper place, hence one can deduce that objects fall to the ground because that’s where they belong, and smoke goes up because that’s where it belongs. The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Modern science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment which now forms the basis of scientific investigation.

79.The aim of controlled scientific experiments is ____

A. to explain why things happen

B. to explain how things happen

C. to describe self-evident principles

D. to support Aristotelian science

80.What principles most influenced scientific thought for two thousand years?

A. the speculation of Thales

B. the force of electricitiy, magnetism, and gravity

C. Aristote’s natural science

D. Galileo’s discoveries.

81. Bertrand Russell’s notion about electricity is______

A. disapproved of by most modern scientists.

B. in agreement with Aristote’s theory of self-evident principles.

C. in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward “how” things happen.

D. in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward “what” things happen.

82. The passage says that until recently scientists disagreed with the idea____

A. that there are mysterious forces in the universe.

B. that man cannot discover what forces “really” are.

C .that there are self-evident principles.

D. that we can discover why things behave as they do.
