参考解析
解析：该概括大意与完成句子所选的阅读材料为记述文，段落主题相对于论述文而言较松散，因此记述文中的段落大意往往需要考生根据自己的理解而归纳概括出来。解答概括大意题的技巧往往派不上用场。第二段主要讲述现代科学家认同了爱因斯坦的光电效应理论。因此可以判断A选项“当今人们如何解释光的性质”正确。
第三段第一句“Things that give off light are known as sources of light.”就点明主旨，发光的物体是光源。所以B选项“什么是光源？”正确。
第四段主要讲述光传播的问题，所以D选项“光是如何传播的”正确。
第五段的关键字是speed of light，光速。所以C选项“物理学家如何测量光的速度”正确。
题干意为“人们可以看见物体是因为光……。“从第二段最后一句可知，人们看见物体是因为光是一种能量。所以F项a form of energy正确的。
题干意为“星星、火焰、手电筒都是……的例子。”第三段“Other sources of light include stars , flames , flashlights...”说明，这些都是光源的例子。所以A选项sourcesof light是正确的。
题干意为“某些情况下，如反射和吸收可以改变……。”第四段中“there are some instances that can change the path and even the nature of light.They are reflection,ab-sorption , interference , etc.”这说明有一些情况可以改变光的路径。所以C选项the path of light是正确的。
题干意为“Hippolyte Fizeau做了一个刚试……的实验。”文中最后一段 “Hippolyte Fizeau conducted an experiment by directing a beam of light to a mirror...he was able to calculate that the speed of light...”可知Hippolyte Fizeau通过实验计算出了光速。所以B选项是正确的。
