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 26 to 35.
A radio telescope is a radio receiver that “sees” radio waves. Unlike a normal telescope, which sees
light, a radio telescope is used primarily in the area of astronomy because it can detect radio waves that are
emitted by celestial objects. Such objects in space, also called radio objects, can be things such as hot gas,
electrons, and wavelengths given off by different atoms and molecules.
The first radio telescope was invented by Grote Reber in 1937. He was an American who graduated
with a degree in engineering. He went on to work as an amateur radio operator and later decided to try to
build his own radio telescope in his backyard. Reber’s first two radio receivers failed to pick up any signals
from outer space, but in 1938, his third radio telescope successfully picked up radio waves from space.
A radio telescope consists of a large parabolic-shaped dish antenna or a combination of two or more.
The significance of the parabolic shape allows for the incoming radio waves to be concentrated on one focal
point, allowing the signals to be picked up as strongly as possible. A larger dish means that more signals
can be received and focalized.
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the largest radio telescope of the time was invented with a seventy-
six-meter telescope although larger telescopes have been made since then. The largest current radio
telescope in the world is the RATAN-600 in Russia, whose diameter is 576 meters. It has provided valuable
feedback of the sun’s radio wavelengths and atmosphere. The largest radio telescope in Europe is a 100-
meter diameter telescope in Germany, and the largest radio telescope in the United States is the Big Ear in
the state of Ohio. The largest array of telescopes is the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope in India.
Radio telescopes have provided scientists with valuable information about our universe. One of the
most important functions of radio telescopes is their ability to allow scientists to track different space
probes, the unmanned space missions in outer space. Radio telescopes allow for the travel of space probes
into places like the surface of Mars that are too dangerous for men to explore. Without radio wave
technology, scientists would not know much of what inhabits the universe nor would they be able to see it.
Radio waves are our eyes and ears in outer space.
By Timothy Hall, Arthur H. Milch and Denise McCormach. How to Master skills for the TOEFL iBT

Read the following passage and mark the latter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 61 to 70.
Why is it that many teenagers have the energy to play computer games until late at night but can’t
find the energy to get out of bed (61) in time for school? According to a new report, today’s generation of
children are in danger of getting so (62) little sleep that they are putting their mental and physical health at
(63) risk. Adults can easily survive on seven to eight hours’ sleep a night, (64) whereas teenagers require
nine or ten hours. According to medical experts, one in five youngsters (65) gets anything between two and
five hours’ sleep a night less than their parents did at their age.
This (66) raises serious questions about whether lack of sleep is affecting children’s ability to
concentrate at school. The connection between sleep deprivation and lapses in memory, impaired reaction
time and poor concentration is well (67) established. Research has shown that losing as little as half an
hour’s sleep a night can have profound effects (68) on how children perform the next day. A good night’s
sleep is also crucial for teenagers because it is while they are asleep (69) that they release a hormone that is
essential for their ‘growth spurt’ (the period during teenage years when the body grows at a rapid rate). It’s
true that they can, to some (70) extent, catch up on sleep at weekends, but that won’t help them when they
are dropping off to sleep in class on a Friday afternoon.
