Learn About Noble Gases（惰性气体）
1 Have you ever ridden on a balloon?Many tourist spots offer balloon rides in order for people to see
the beauty of a place from above.A balloon contains a noble gas called helium（氦）.Formerly,balloons con-
tamned hydrogen but hydrogen is very flammable and dangerous when uncontrolled.Therefore,people shifted
to helium,which is safer. Helium is safe because it has the properties of the noble gases.
2 People once believed that noble gases couldn't chemically react at all.For this reason,they were
called inert gases（惰性气体）.They were also listed under Group 0 in the old periodic table because scien-
tists believed that the gases have zero valence（价）electrons in their outer shell.This was later proven to be
untrue when some noble gas compounds were discovered.
3 The gases are elements,which share similar properties.These properties include being monoatomic,
colorless,odorless,being able to conduct electricity,and having low chemical reactivity.Noble gases
include helium,neon,argon,krypton,xenon and radon.These are all found in Group 18,in the right most
column of the periodic table.If you look at the periodic table,you will notice that these elements are the only
ones which do not have a charge. Helium has the lowest molecular（分子的）weight while radon is the
heaviest.
4 Remember that chemical reactions occur because atoms have valence electrons,which are electrons
in their outer shell.When the outer shell is"unfilled"or the required number of electrons is not yet corn-
plete,the atom is more reactive.Noble gases have a full outer shell,meaning that they have complete elec-
trons in their outer shell.This complete number varies.For instance,the outer shell of helium has 2 valence
electrons while the outer shell of xenon has 8 electrons.Nowadays,there remains to be a few noble gases
because of the low chemical reactivity of these said gases.
5 because of their properties,noble gases have many important applications.They are widely used in
medicine and industries. For instance , liquid helium is used for superconducting magnets（磁体）.These
magnets are very important in physics and medicine.When a doctor suspects that a person's brain has been
damaged,he might request for Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI).MRI allows the doctor to"see"the
brain,without operating on the patient.

参考解析
解析：文章的第二段主要讲述了过去人们对惰性气体的看法。人们曾认为这些惰性气体不 会产生任何化学反应，故选D。
文章第三段主要讲的是惰性气体的性质、特点以及种类，故选F。
文章第四段从一般的化学反应发生的原理着手，解释惰性气体化学反应性地的原因： 惰性气体外层电子数目完整，不易发生反应，故选E。
由本段“Because of their properties, noble gases have many important applications.”一句可 知，本段主要是介绍惰性气体的应用实例，故选C。
文章第三段主要介绍了惰性气体的特点，由本段第二句中的“and having low chemical reactivity”可知，应选B。
由文章第三段的最后一句“Helium has the lowest molecular weight while radon is the heaviest.”可知，应选F。
由文章第四段第三句“Noble gases have a full outer shell, meaning that they have complete electrons in their outer shell.”可知，惰性气体外层电子数目完整，故应选A。
由文章最后一段的最后一句话“Mill allows the doctor to 'see' the brain, without operating on the patient.”可知，MRI (磁共振成像）可以使医生在不进行开刀手术的前提下看到 大脑内部情况，故选C。第4部分：阅读理解第一篇 本篇文章主要讲述的是不丹王国的国王采用国民幸福指数（GNH）来衡量国家的进步，以及 此举带来的影响。3
