Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.

Fiberscopes 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 fiberscopes 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 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 probes have also been developed 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 fiberscopes fused together in a solid plate, called a faceplate, are being used in the manufacture of television tubes and other 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 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.

Question 36:  How do optical fibers carry voice message?

A. By sending coordinated electrical pulses through optical fibers

B. By using cathode-ray tube devices.

C. By converting electrical signals to light pulses

D. By fusing bundles of fiberscopes into a faceplate

Question 37: The word inaccessible in line 9 means _____.

A. extremely small

B. impossible to climb

C. hard to reach

D. difficult to find

Question 38: 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 their development

Question 39:  Approximately how many fibers does a fiberscope contain?

A. 500,000

B. 1,000,000

C. 25,000

D. 750,000

Question 40: The main topic of the passage is ____.

A. The birth of the “electronic superhighway”

B. How fiberscopes have enhanced the field of medicine

C. How sound may be transformed into light

D. The various applications of fiber-optic technology

Question 41: The word converted is closest in meaning to_____.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20 years ago and the police advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their homes.

The first fact is that burglars and other intruders prefer easy opportunities, like a house which is very obviously empty. This is much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one which is well-protected. A burglar will wonder if it is worth the bother.
There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic. Avoid leaving signs that your house is empty. When you have to go out, leave at least one light on as well as a radio or television, and do not leave any curtains wide open. The sight of your latest music centre or computer is enough to tempt any burglar.

Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place. The first place a burglar will look is under the doormat or in a flower pot and even somewhere more 'imaginative' could soon be uncovered by the intruder. It is much safer to leave a key with a neighbour you can trust. But if your house is in a quiet, desolate area be aware that this will be a burglar's dream, so deter any potential criminal from approaching your house by fitting security lights to the outside of your house.

But what could happen if, in spite of the aforementioned precautions, a burglar or intruder has decided to target your home. Windows are usually the first point of entry for many intruders. Downstairs windows provide easy access while upstairs windows can be reached with a ladder or by climbing up the drainpipe. Before going to bed you should double-check that all windows and shutters are locked. No matter how small your windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a determined burglar can manage to get through. For extra security, fit window locks to the inside of the window.

What about entry via doors? Your back door and patio doors, which are easily forced open, should have top quality security locks fitted. Even though this is expensive it will be money well spent. Install a burglar alarm if you can afford it as another line of defence against intruders.

A sobering fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property. Why go to the trouble of breaking in if you can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus officials or workmen and, particularly if you are elderly, fit a chain and an eye hole so you can scrutinise callers at your leisure. When you do have callers never let anybody into your home unless you are absolutely sure they are genuine. Ask to see an identity card, for example.
If you are in the frightening position of waking in the middle of the night and think you can hear an intruder, then on no account should you approach the intruder. It is far better to telephone the police and wait for help.

Question 43:  A well-protected house …………

A. is less likely to be burgled.

B. is regarded as a challenge by most criminals.

C. is a lot of bother to maintain.

D. is very unlikely to be burgled.

Question 44:  According to the writer, we should …………

A. avoid leaving our house empty.

B. only go out when we have to.

C. always keep the curtains closed.

D. give the impression that our house is occupied when we go out.

Question 45:  What word best replaces “desolate” in paragraph 4?

A. isolated

B. populous

C. dissatisfying

D. depressing

Question 46: The phrase “aforementioned precautions” in paragraph 5 refers to steps that …………

A. will tell a burglar if your house is empty or not.

B. are the most important precautions to take to make your home safe.

C. will stop a potential burglar.

D. will not stop an intruder if he has decided to try and enter your home.

Question 47:  According to the writer, window locks, security locks and burglar alarms …………

A. cost a lot of money but are worth it.

B. are good value for money.

C. are luxury items.

D. are absolutely essential items.

Question 48:  The writer argues that fitting a chain and an eye hole…………

A. will prevent your home being burgled.

B. avoids you having to invite people into your home.

C. is only necessary for elderly people.

D. gives you time to check if the visitor is genuine.

Question 49:  What word best replaces “scrutinise” in paragraph 7?

A. glance

B. gaze

C. search

D. examine

Question 50: The best title for the text is …………

A. Increasing household crime.

B. Protecting your home from intruders.

C. Burglary statistics.

D. What to do if a burglar breaks into your home.
