Stimulated emission is a variation of spontaneous emission, a process that occurs in atoms when an electron in a ground, or unexcited state, is knocked into a higher state when energy is applied to the system. As the electron drops back into ground state, a photon, or particle of light, is released. As de-excitation occurs in millions of atoms, photons are released in a random fashion, and light is emitted in every direction. Stimulated emission, however, causes an increase in the number of photons traveling in a particular direction. An optical cavity, the space formed by two reflective surfaces facing each other, is used to control the direction of the beam. There are solid-state, gas, and liquid lasers, and by subjecting lasing materials to various types of energy- electrical, magnetic, or sonic- scientists have been able to control the laser output to suit various functions and applications. In industry, the laser has proven to be a very versatile tool, particularly for cutting and welding. Lasers are now also used in high-speed printing and in the creation of three-dimensional images, called holograms. Laser tracking and ranging systems have been developed, using light signals to measure distance rather than the radio signals of radar. The use of the laser in biological and medical applications is also rapidly expanding, and the laser is already being used with great success in certain surgical procedures. In the field of communications the laser, used in conjunction with fiber- optic networks, is capable of carrying much more information than conventional wires and is setting the stage for the “electronic superhighway” of the near future.

The uses of lasers in medicine Câu 22: The author’s main purpose in this passage is to A. persuade B. entertain C. illustrate D. inform Câu 23: It can be inferred from the passage that lasers are rapidly becoming A. obsolete in today’s world B. more limited in scope C. a vital part of modern society D. less flexible in their uses Câu 2 4: According to the passage, scientists have been able to control laser output by A controlling the direction of the beam B. subjecting lasing materials to various types of energy C. increasing the number of photons traveling in a particular direction D. using a variety of lasing materials Câu 25: What happens when an electron drops back into ground state? A. A particle of light is released B. Excitation occurs C. Energy is applied to the system D. There is an increase in the number of photons traveling in one direction Câu 26: The author mentions all of the following types of lasers except A. solid-state B. sonic C. gas D. liquid Câu 27: The word “versatile” in the passage is closest in meaning to A. flexible B. stimulating C. energetic D. worthless Câu 28: According to the passage, the “electronic superhighway” A. will replace the laser B. has nothing to do with lasers C. will utilize lasers D. will be in competition with lasers Đọc kỹ đoạn văn sau và chọn phương án đúng (A, B, C hoặc D) Jupiter is the largest and most massive planet and is fifth in order of distance from the sun. It is well placed for observation for several months in every year and on average is the brightest of the planets apart from Venus, though for relatively brief periods Mars may outshine it. Jupiter’s less than 10-hour rotation period gives it the shortest day in the htmh2 Page 2 7/28/2013 solar system insofar as the principal planets are concerned. There are no true seasons on Jupiter because the axial inclination to the perpendicular of the orbital plane is only just over 3 degrees- less than that for any other planet. The most famous mark on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot. It has shown variations in both intensity and colour, and at times it has been invisible, but it always returns after a few years. As its greatest extent it may be 40,000 kilometres long and 14,000 kilometres wide, so its surface area is greater than that of earth. Though the latitude of the Red Spot varies little, it drifts about in longitude. Over the past century the total longitudinal drift has amounted to approximately 1200 degrees. The latitude is generally very close to -22 degrees. It was once thought that the Red Spot might be a solid or semisolid body floating in Jupiter’s outer gas. However, the Pioneer and Voyager results have refuted that idea and proven the Red Spot to be a phenomenon of Jovian meteorology. Its longevity may well be due to its exceptional size, but there are signs that it is decreasing in size, and it may not be permanent. Several small red spots have been seen occasionally but have not lasted. Câu 29: The main purpose of the passage is A. to explain why the Great Red Spot changes B. to show which of the planets shines the brightest C. to give an introduction to Jupiter and its Red Spot D. to prove that Jupiter is shrinking Câu 30: According to the passage, Jupiter has the shortest day among the principal planets because A. its rotation period is shorter than 10 hours B. the axial inclination is only just over 3 degrees C. it is on average the brightest of all the planets D. there is the interference of the Great Red Spot Câu 31: The author’ tone in this passage is A. argumentative B. supportive C. enthusiastic D. neutral Câu 32: According to the passage, Mars outshines Jupiter A. on a regular basis B. from time to time C. every several months D. less often than any other planet Câu 33: This passage would be of most interest to A. students of anthropology B. geologists C. mathematicians D. amateur astronomers Câu 34: It can be inferred from this passage that Jupiter’s Great Red Spot A. will become brighter with time B. will one day vanish C. will continue expanding D. is made of floating gases Câu 35: According to the passage, all of the following are true about Jupiter except A. there are four planets closer to the sun B. it is 14,000 kilometres wide C. there is still much to be learnt about the Red Spot D. Pioneer and Voyager have added to our knowledge of Jupiter Đọc kỹ đoạn văn sau và chọn phương án đúng (A, B, C hoặc D) cho mỗi chỗ trống: In an age when technology is developing faster than ever before, many people are being (36)… to the idea of looking back into the past.
