Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the following questions.The second half of the twentieth century saw more changes in technology than in previous two hundred years. Penicillin has already been discovered and used to treat infections; there have been many remarkable advances in medicine that have helped to increase our average life expectancy way beyond that of our ancestors. Incredible innovations such as television have changed the way we spend our leisure hours. Perhaps the most important breakthrough, however, has been the microchip. Nobody could have imagined, when it was first invented, that within a matter of years, this tiny piece of silicon and circuitry would be found in almost every household object from the kettle to the video recorder. And nobody could have predicted the sudden proliferation of computers that would completely change our lives, allowing us to access information from the other side of the world via the Internet or send massages around the world by e-mail at the touch of a button. Meanwhile, research into other aspects of information technology is making it easier and cheaper for us to talk to friends and relatives around the world.
