16: In recent years, networks of fiber-optic cable have been replacing electrical wire for transmitting telecommunications signals. Signals running through fiber-optic cables deteriorate, and so the signals must be run through a piece of equipment called a regenerator before being transmitted father. Light-Line is the leading manufacturer of signal regenerators. Therefore, Light-line is one of the companies that will most benefit if new long-distance fiber-optic telecommunications networks are constructed.
Which of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on the prediction about light-ling’s prospects?
A: Telecommunications signals sent along electrical wires can travel much farther than signals transmitted through fiber-optic before needing to be regenerated.
B: Expanding its production of regenerators will require Light-line to spend proportionately more on labor and materials.
C: The volume of signals that a fiber-optic cable can carry is several thousand times greater than the volume that can be carried by an electrical wire of similar size.
D: There are technologies that enable telecommunications signals to be transmitted without either wire or fiber-optic cable.
E: Several manufacturers are developing regenerator technologies that will allow signals to be transmitted many times farther than at present before requiring regeneration.
28: Rock samples taken from the remains of an asteroid about twice the size of the 6-nuke-wide asteroid that eradicated the dinosaurs has been dated to be 3.47 billion years old and thus is evidence of the earliest known asteroid impact on Earth.
A: has been dated to be 3.47 billion years old and thus is
B: has been dated at 3.47 billion years old and thus
C: have been dated to be 3.47billion years old and thus are
D: have been dated as being 3.47 billion years old and thus
E: have been dated at 3.47 billion years old and thus are
这两题你们都达成共识了,可是我不明白
