　　The making of glass is a very old industry———at least

　　4，500years old. Glass has many extraordinary qualities and

　　it is frequently being used in new ways.

　　One of the most interesting new uses for glass is in teleˉ

　　phone communication. Scientists have developed glass fibres

　　as thin as human hair which are designed to carry light sigˉ

　　nals. When the light reaches the other end， it is first changed

　　into electrical signals， which are in turn converted(转变)into

　　sound messages.

　　Called lightwave communication， the new system was

　　used successfully in an experiment in Chicago in 1977. During

　　the experiment two glass fibres were able to carry 672 conˉ

　　versations at the same time. The lightwave cable， containing

　　144 glass fibres， has the capacity(容量)to carry 50，000 conˉ

　　versations at the same time. The lightwave communication

　　system has two important advantages. First the glass fibre

　　cables are smaller and weigh less than copper (铜)cables;

　　second， they cost less.

　　36.One of the extraordinary qualities of glass is that it can

　　carry .

　　A.any signal B.light signals

　　C.sound signals D.electrical signals

　　37.Before you can hear a message on the telephone using the

　　new system .

　　A.the light signals have to be changed into electrical

　　sound

　　B.neither the light nor the electrical signals have to be

　　changed in any way

　　C.light must first be changed into electrical signals and

　　then into sound

　　D.electrical signals must first be changed into light sigˉ

　　nals and then into sound

　　38.According to the passage the new telephone communicaˉ

　　tion system .

　　A.was put on experiment in 1977

　　B.had been put into actual use by 1977

　　C.had been repeatedly experimented before 1977

　　D.was first put into actual use in 1977

　　39.From the passage， you can tell that people prefer glass fiˉ

　　bre cables to copper cables

　　because .

　　A.glass fibre is easier to make

　　B.glass fibre is less expensive

　　C.glass fibre is more up to date

　　D.glass fibre delivers messages directly

　　40.Which of the following statements best expresses the

　　main idea of the passage?

　　A.Light signals have changed the use of glass in industry.

　　B.Glass fibres have reduced the cost of telephone comˉ

　　munication.

　　C.Glass is very useful because it has many unusual qualities.

　　D.The use of glass fibres to carry telephone messages is

　　an interesting new development.
