綜合類A級(jí)模擬題：概括大意Electromagnetic

　　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 (紅外線的) 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 (紫外線) 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 (電子) 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 suns 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.

　　參考答案：

　　1.C.該段中出現(xiàn)了電磁能的具體例子，所以C是答案。

　　2.B.the sun是該段的核心詞，所以初步判定A是答案，但該段并沒有提到A中說的“核反應(yīng)”，所以排除A，借助該段中的第2句(The source of most of our energy is the sun./我們最重要的能源是太陽)，判定答案為B.

　　3.A.該段落“核反應(yīng)，核能”反復(fù)出現(xiàn)，對(duì)比被選項(xiàng)選擇A，而該段最后一句的句意確認(rèn)A.

　　4.E.對(duì)比剩下被選項(xiàng)中的核心詞(D：machine，E: new course of energy，F(xiàn): ultraviolet radiation)與該段中的用詞，可以直接確認(rèn)答案為E.

　　5.B. 借助問題句中的特征詞sunburn作為答案線索詞， 在文章第一段的第4句找到答案相關(guān)句(On a cloudy day it is possible to get a sunburn even though you feel cool.)，判斷答案為B.

　　6.A.該題可直接借助搭配句意判斷答案。也可借助原文(利用問題句中的infrared， heat作為答案線索詞)， 在第3段第4句找到答案相關(guān)句：Infrared (紅外線的) radiation is an electromagnetic wave. When it is absorbed by matter， heat is produced.

　　7.C.可借助搭配句意直接確認(rèn)答案C.也可借助原文(X-rays， gamma rays作為答案線索詞)，在第3段倒數(shù)第3句找到答案相關(guān)句：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.

　　8.F.借助問題句中的特征詞chemical energy作為答案線索詞， 在第5段倒數(shù)第4句找到答案相關(guān)句(Chemical energy comes from electron (電子) rearrangement. )，確認(rèn)答案為F.
