Flags were also flown there to warn sailors of bad weather. Its fitting, then, the Italian Gulielmo Marconi should have chosen this site to receive the worlds first radio signal-in Morse code-from England on December 12,1901.Marconi, combining earlier ideas with his own, led us to a new communications age. For the next 50 years, until the appearance of television, radio ruled the air waves.Today, its the TV that rules. No single person can say to have invented television.In 1884, the German Paul Nipkow invented a device that sent pictures mechanically, and in 1906, Boris Rosing, a Russian, used a ray and a disc to create the worlds first TV system. Then in the early 1920s, another Russian, Vladimir Zworykin, invented a picture display tube. He took out a patent for color TV, even though it wouldnt be developed for another 25 years.In 1924, a Scot entered the scene-John Logic Baird. He first succeeded in sending a moving picture and a year later got the first actual TV picture. In 1926,Baird showed TV in a London laboratory. Two years later in New York, Felix the Cat became the first TV star.TV excited everyones imagination, but hardly anyone had a set, with just two thousand in use worldwide in the mid-1930s.Since the late 1940s,TV technology has developed very quickly. Computers may finally be combined with all televisions to give people a total all-in-one communications network.Today, its possible to sit and watch TV in the middle of a forest or in the Arctic. Its surprising when one considers that Marconi was on Signal Hill in the same century.67. We can learn from the text that Signal Hill was once used as _.A. a site of communicationB. a weather stationC. a factory to produce weaponsD. a battle field to fight enemies from the outside68. When the writer says that today it is the TV that rules, he means that the TV _.A. has led to a new communications ageB. is a major means of todays communicationC. is a device invented with ideas from MarconiD. has replaced the radio in todays communication69. What is the main idea of paragraphs 4 and 5A. London is the place where TV is invented.B. John Logic Baird was the chief inventor of television.C. A number of people contributed to the invention of television.D. Russian scientists played an important role in the invention of television.70. The writer believes that the day will come whenA. the future computers will be able to do the work TV is now doingB. the future computers will become available to everyone in the worldC. the future computers will be connected to create one international networkD. the future computers will take the place of televisions and radiosEScience and SocietyYoung people need to understand how our society depends upon scientific and technological advancement and to realize that science is a basic part of modern living.
