The first step towards preventing crime is understanding its (22) Most crime is against property, not (23), and most crime is not carried out by professionals; nor is it carefully planned Property crimes (24) on the easy opportunity They are often (25) by adolescents and young men, the majority of whom stop offending as they grow older – the _ (26) age for offending is fifteen Also, and not surprisingly, the (27) of being a victim of crime (28) greatly depending on where you live
This (29) by criminals on the easy opportunity is the (30) to much crime prevention Motor cars, for example, are a sitting target for the criminal Surveys have shown that approximately one in five drivers do not always (31) to secure their cars by locking all the doors and shutting all the windows, and in 30 percent of domestic burglaries the burglar simply walks in without having to use (32) If opportunities like these did not exist, criminals would have a much harder time The chances are that many crimes would not be committed, which would release more police time for (33) serious crime
Of course, the primary responsibility for (34) with crime rests with the police and the courts, but, if you care about improving the (35) of life for yourself and your community, there are many ways you can help reverse the trend

Answers:
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 5 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 do 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 do 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
C additional uses of fiber-scopes in industry
Trang 5D the use of fiber optics in the electronic superhighway

The image of science

New scientific theories (46-overwhelm) reveal the limitations of the old perspective
We had thought that the world, understood through the medium of rational (47-be), was, indeed, the real world Now we know that this was no more than a simplification that just happened to work Once we realize this, though, we can move in a number of opposing directions We can re-evaluate all knowledge (48-pessimism) and decide that it is eternally fragmentary and full of a vast number
of (49-perfection), or we can be more positive and view these vast explosions of scientific awareness as new challenges still to come and as celebrations of the _ (50-high) that the human imagination has so far scaled
