Passage 4
Thousands of years ago man used handy rocks for his surgical operations.Later he used sharp bone or horn,metal kniver and more recently,rubbler and plastic and that was where we stuck,in surgical instrumengt terms,for many years. In the 1960s a new tool was developed, one which was,first of all, to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry, but which was also,in time,to change greatly the art and science of surgery.
The tool is the laser（激光）and it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world. As we all know,light is hot,any source of light---from the sun itself down to a simple match burning---will give warmth.But light is usually spread out over a wide area. The light in a laser beam(激光束), however, is concentrated(密集).This means that a light with no more power that that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb becomes intensely strong as it is concentrated to a pinpoint-sized(针尖大小的)beam.
Experiments with these pinpoint beams showed researchers that different energy sources produce beams that have a particular effect on certain living cells. It is now possible for eye surgeons to operate on the back of human eye without harming the front of the eye,simply by passing a laser beam right through the eye-ball.No knives, no stitches(缝针),no unwanted damage---a true surgical wonder. Operations which once make patients tired and in need of long period of recovery time now leave them feeling calm and comfortable. So much more difficult operations can now be tried.
The rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has make it clear that the future is likely to be very excitng.Perhaps some cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makes surgery not only safer but also more effective. Altogether, tomorrow may see more and more information coming to light on the diseases which can be treated medically.
51.The instruments of surgical operations up until 1960s can be described as .
A.traditional B.complicated C.magical D.revolutionary
52.What changes have taken place since the appearance of laser in the 1960s?
A.Industrial revolution has made medical help available for industrial workers.
B.Ther research in study of art went through a complete revolution.

D.The methods in surgery for patients changed greatly.
53.The laser beam is very strong because .
A.it is artificially lighted
B.it gives off heat in all directions
C.it contains a concentrated beam of the light
D.its temperature increases due to the heat of the sun
54.By applying the laser beam,surgeons can perform operations which .
A.may make their patients suffer with negative effects
B.may take their patients a long time to recover
C.do little harm to their patients
D.can only treat eye diseases
