Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the questions from 26 to 35. 
A radio telescope is a radio receiver that "sees" radio waves. Unlike a normal telescope, which sees light, a 
radio telescope is used primarily in the area of astronomy because it can detect radio waves that are emitted by 
celestial objects. Such objects in space, also called radio objects, can be things such as hot gas, electrons, and 
wavelengths given off by different atoms and molecules. 
The first radio telescope was invented by Grote Reber in 1937. He was an American who graduated with a 
degree in engineering. He went on to work as an amateur radio operator and later decided to try to build his 
own radio telescope in his backyard. Reber's first two radio receivers failed to pick up any signals from outer 
space, but in 1938, his third radio telescope successfully picked up radio waves from space. 
A radio telescope consists of a large parabolic-shaped dish antenna or a combination of two or more. The 
significance of the parabolic shape allows for the incoming radio waves to be concentrated on one focal point, 
allowing the signals to be picked up as strongly as possible. A larger dish means that more signals can be 
received and focalized. 
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the largest radio telescope of the time was invented with a seventy-six-
meter telescope although larger telescopes have been made since then. The largest current radio telescope in 
the world is the RATAN-600 in Russia, whose diameter is 576 meters. It has provided valuable feedback of the 
sun's radio wavelengths and atmosphere. The largest radio telescope in Europe is a 100-meter diameter 
telescope in Germany, and the largest radio telescope in the United Stat...elestial objects D. radio waves sent out by celestial objects

Question 28: Grote Reber’s idea to develop a radio telescope was not successful until ______. 
A. he first built one in his backyard B. he experimented on the third one 
C. he picked up signals from outer space D. he graduated from an engineering school
