Reading Exercises:
Exercise 1. Read and memorize using a dictionary:
vise versa, coaxial, transparent,fibre, reflection, virtually, wire, to link, digitized light pulses, formerly, wavelengths, sensory, headsets, goggles, to emerge, drive tanks, shoot artillery, dial-up, mode, broadcast signals, video compression, to charge a monthly fee,broadband modes of delivery |
Exercise 2. Answer the questions:
When did the basis of virtual reality technology emerge?
How does a computer-generated environment simulate reality?
What is fiber optics used for?
Where did cable television systems originate?
What features do cable operators offer to viewers?
Exercise 3. Are these sentences true or false?
Fibre-optic technology has virtually replaced plastic wire in short-distance telephone lines.
Data can be transferred over cable lines much more slower than over conventional phone lines.
Transmission rates are usually around 1.4 bits per minute.
In 1960s simulators taught how to fly planes.
Cable television systems originated in the Canada in the early 1850s to improve reception in remote and hilly areas, where broadcast signals were strong.
Exercise 4. Match the left part with the right:
1. A cable modem |
a) involved in the development of video compression, digital transmission, and high-definition television. |
2. Cable operators are
|
b) has virtually replaced copper wire in long-distance telephone lines. |
3. Fibre-optic technology
|
c) simulates reality by means of interactive devices. |
4. A computer-generated environment |
d) modulates and demodulates signals like a telephone modem, but is a much more complex device. |
