Electromagnetic Energy
White light seems to be a combination of all colors. The energy that comes from a source of light is not limited to the kind of energy you can see. Heat is given off by a flame or an electric light. On a cloudy day it is possible to get a sunburn even though you feel cool. Visible light and the kind of energy that produce warmth and sunburn are examples of electromagnetic energy.
The sun is 93 million miles from the earth. Yet we can use energy from the sun because electromagnetic energy travels through space.
Many other kinds of energy are also types of electromagnetic energy. Radio, television, and radar signals travel from transmitters to receivers as low-energy electromagnetic waves. Infrared (红外线的) radiation is an electromagnetic wave. When it is absorbed by matter, heat is produced. Waves of infrared and visible light have more energy than waves of radio, television, or radar. Ultraviolet rays (紫外线) and X-rays are electromagnetic waves with even greater amounts of energy. Infrared radiation is used in cooking food and heating buildings. Sunlight and electric lights are part of our requirements for normal living. Ultraviolet radiation is useful in killing certain disease organisms. X-rays and gamma rays have so mush energy that they travel right through solid objects. They can be used to detect and treat cancer. X-rays are used in industry to find hidden cracks in metal, and in medicine to reveal broken bones.
Usually we use electricity to generate electromagnetic energy. The source of most of our energy is the sun. Heat from the sun causes water to evaporate. When the water falls to the earth as rain, some of it is trapped behind dams and then used to operate electric generators. Other generators are powered by coal, but the energy stored in coal came from the sun, too.
Until recently, the source of the tremendous amount of energy given off by the sun was a puzzle. If the sun depended on chemical reactions, it would have used up all its energy long ago. Experiments with electromagnetic radiation led to the theory that mass can be converted into energy. About forty years after the theory was proposed, nuclear energy was harnessed (利用) by man. Chemical energy comes from electron (电子) rearrangement. Nuclear energy comes from a change in the nucleus of an atom. Compared with chemical reactions, nuclear reactions release millions of times more energy per pound of fuel. We now believe that the sun's energy comes from the nuclear reactions in which hydrogen is changed into helium(氦).
Nuclear energy is beginning to compete with coal as an economical source of power to generate electricity. It is also being used to operate engines in large ships. Scientists continue to seek new and better methods of obtaining and using energy.
A. Nuclear Reactions as the Lasting Source of the Sun's Energy
B. The Most Important Source of Energy
C. Types of Electromagnetic Energy
D. X-rays Are Used to Detect and Treat Cancer.
E. Seeking New Sources of Energy
F. Nuclear Energy is Beginning to Compete with Coal
Paragraph 3 ______
第4题:
第5题:
By no means ______ destroy or create energy.
A、we shall
B、shall we
C、can’t we
D、we can
第6题:
25. Why do we call the sun"a life-giving star"?
A. Because it gives us warmth.
B. Because there are some living things on it.
C. Because plants and animals can't live without it.
D. Because people have to live in the dark without it.
第7题:
A.influential
B.deceptive
C.complementary
D.prospective
答案:B
解析:influential意为“有很大影响力的,有支配力的”;deceptive意为“欺骗性的,骗人的”;complementary意为“互补的,补充的”;prospective意为“潜在的,期望的”。根据题干前半句句意“我们不能以貌取人”,可知后半句想表达的意思是“外貌具有欺骗性”。故本题选B。
第8题:
A
When you look at the sky at night,the moon looks bigger than the stars. In fact,the moon is much smaller than the stars.It is much smaller than the earth. But the moon is much closer to us than any star. That is why it looks so big. If you hold a coin close.to your eye,it looks big.If you look at it across the room,it looks small.The moon moves around the earth. It makes one trip in about four weeks. The moon looks flat(扁的)to us. But it is a round ball,like the earth.People once thought the moon had fire(火) on it. They thought the fire made it bright.Now we know the moon is like a mirror( 镜子 ). It gets its light from the sun Our sunlight comes from the sun,too: What is the sun? The sun is star. The stars we can see have their own light. There are many big stars we can-t see. Their light has burned out. Others are still bright,but they are so far away that we can-t see them. The sun looks bigger and much brighter than other stars because it is the nearest of all stars. The sun and the other stars we see are very hot,but the air around us saves us from(使------免于) the heat(热量) of the sun.The sun gives us light and warmth.It makes plants grow and leaves turn green. It makes life possible on our earth.It is a life-giving star.
( )21. The moon looks bigger because__________ .
A. some stars are smaller than it
B.it is between the sun and the earth
C.it is the closest to the earth
D.it is very bright
