When people speak of solar energy, they only think of sun’s rays heating a home or ________ electricity from the sun. A.deriveB.to deriveC.derivingD.of deriving.
Electromagnetic EnergyWhite 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 EnergyB. The Most Important Source of EnergyC. Types of Electromagnetic EnergyD. X-rays Are Used to Detect and Treat Cancer.E.

A greenhouse is a building made of glass which is used for keeping plants when the outside temperature is low. In a similar way there are several gases in the atmosphere which trap(捕捉)the heat produced by the sun and prevent it from escaping. These gases are known as"greenhouse gases"，and the way in which they trap heat in the atmosphere is called the "greenhouse effect". This is not simply air pollution. Most of the main greenhouse gases exist naturally in small amounts in our atmosphere, and without them earth would be 30 degrees colder and human life would not exist. In other words, the greenhouse effect is a natural course which is to some degree helpful to us.The problem is that in the last century and a half, we have been putting too many of these gases into the earth's atmosphere by burning large quantities of coal and oil and by cutting down forests. The rapid increase in greenhouse gases is making the world warmer. The world's temperature has already gone up by half a degree this century, and the sea level has risen by 10 centimetres. If the amount of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)in the atmosphere doubles, there will probably be a rise in the earth's temperature of between 1 and 4 degrees. This may seem a small increase, but it would be enough to cause major changes in geography and agriculture. Large areas of the world would be flooded, and some areas would become dry and unable to produce crops. It is important, too, to consider that there may be a delay of about 30 years in the greenhouse effect. This means that we are probably experiencing only now the effect of the gases put into the atmosphere before the 1960s. Since then, our use of these gases has greatly increased.1. The"greenhouse effect"means _____.A. the way in which gases are used for keeping plants warmB. a natural course which is some degree helpful to usC. the way"greenhouse gases"trap heat on the earthD. the whole course in which greenhouse gases prevent heat2. If there were no greenhouse effect, _____.A. no plants would grow on our planetB. earth would be thirty degrees colderC. man could not live on the earthD. All of the above answers are correct3. Which of the following is NOT true? _____A. Burning too much coal and oil produces lots of greenhouse gases.B. It has become warmer on the earth now than in the past.C. Gases put into the atmosphere now will affect the earth years later.D. The temperature in a greenhouse is as high as that in the atmosphere.4. Suppose the earth's temperature rose by 3 degrees, _____.A. great harm would be done to mankindB. the sea level would go by 10 centimetresC. all the land in the world would be floodedD. crops would be unable to grow on the earth5. This passage mainly deals with _____.A. the concept(概念)and harm of greenhouse effectB. the relation between greenhouse gases and manC. the concept and change of greenhouse effectD. the effect of the rise of the earth's temperature

共用题干第一篇The Northern LightsThe sun is stormy and has its own kind of weather.It is so hot and active that even the Sun's gravity cannot hold its atmosphere in check!Energy flows away from the Sun toward the Earth in a stream of electrified particles that move at speeds around a million miles per hour.These particles are called plasma （等离子体）,and the stream of plasma coming from the Sun is called the solar wind.The more active the Sun,the stronger the solar wind.The solar wind constantly streams toward the Earth,but don't worry because a protective magnetic field surrounds our planet.The same magnetic field that makes your compass point north also steers the particles from the Sun to the north and south poles.The charged particles become trapped in magnetic belts around the Earth.When a large blast of solar wind crashes into the Earth's magnetic field,the magnetic field first gets squeezed and then the magnetic field lines break and reconnect.The breaking and reconnecting of the magnetic field lines can cause atomic particles called electrons trapped in the belts to fall into tile Earth's atmosphere at the poles.As the electrons fall to the Earth,they collide with gas molecules in the atmosphere,creating flashes of light in the sky.Each atmospheric gas glows a different color.Oxygen and nitrogen glows red and green arid nitrogen glows violet purple.As these various colors glow and dance in the night sky,they create the Northern Lights and the Southern Lights.Watching auroras（北极光）is fun and exciting, but normally you can only see them in places far north like Alaska and Canada.The movement of the aurora across the sky is usually slow enough to easily follow with your eyes but they can also pulsate（跳动）,flicker（闪烁）,or even move like waves.During solar maximum,5 auroras are seen as far south as Florida,even Mexico!Auroras often seem to be very close to the ground,but the lowest aurora is still about 100 kilometers above the ground,a distance much higher than clouds are formed or airplanes can fly.A typical aurora band can be thousands of kilometers long,a few hundred kilometers high,but only a few hundred meters thick.We hope you are able to travel to far north places like the Arctic Circle and see the Northern Lights at least once during your lifetime.We know you will never forget it!The solar wind comes into being as a result of_______.A:disappearance of the Sun's gravityB:unpredictable weather of the SunC:fast flow of energy away from the SunD:a stream of particles being blown away
共用题干California Gives Green Light to Space Solar PowerEnergy beamed down from space is one step closer to reality,now that California has given the green light to an agreement that would see the Pacific Gas and Electric Company buy 200 megawatts（兆瓦）of power beamed down from solar-power satellites beginning in 2016.But some major challenges will have to beovercome if the technology is to be used widely.A start-up company called Solaren is designing the satellites,which it says will use radio waves to beamenergy down to a receiving station on Earth.The attraction of collecting solar power in space is the almost uninterrupted sunshine available in geo- synchronous（与地球同步的）orbit. Earth-based solar cells , by contrast , can only collect sun light during day-time and when skies are clear.But space-based solar power must grapple（努力克服）with the high cost per kilogram of launching things in- to space,says Richard Schwartz of Purdue University in West Lafayette,Indiana."if you're talking about it being economically viable for power of the Earth,it's a tough go,"he says.Cal Boerman,Solaren's director of energy services,says the company designed its satellites with a view to keeping launch costs down."We knew we had to come up with a different,revolutionary design,"he says. A patent the company has won describes ways to reduce the system's weight,including using inflatable mir- rors to focus sunlight on solar cells,so a smaller number can collect the same amount of energy.But using mirrors introduces other challenges,including keeping the solar cells from overheating,says Schwartz."You have to take care of heat dissipation（散发）because you're now concentrating a lot of energy in one place,"he says.According to the company's patent,Solaren's solar cells will be connected to radia-tors to help keep them cool.Though Boerman says the company believes it can make space-based solar power work,it is not expec-ting to crowd out other forms of renewable energy.Laws in California and other states require increasing use of renewable energy in coming years,he points out."To meet those needs,we're going to need all types of renewable energy sources,"he says.Solar-power satellites will use radio waves to beam energy down from space.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned

共用题干Weight on and off the Earth We are so used to.our life on the surface of the earth that it can be quite an effort for our mind to break free of all the ideas that we take for granted.Because we can feel that things are heavy,we think of "weight"as being a fixed quality in an object,but it is not really fixed at all.If you could take a one-pound packet of butter 4,000 miles out from the earth,it would weigh only a quarter of a pound. Why would things weigh only a quarter as much as they do at the surface of the earth if we took them 4,000 miles out into space?The reason is this:all objects have a natural attraction for all other objects;this is called gravitational attraction.But this power of attraction between two obects gets weaker as they get farther apart.When the butter was at the surface of the earth,it was 4,000 miles from the center.When we took the butter 4,000 miles out,it was 8,000 miles from the center,which is twice the distance.If you double the distance between two objects,their gravitational attraction decreases two times two.If you treble the distance, it gets nine times weaker(three times three)and so on. So this is one of the first things we need to remember that the weight of an object in space is not the same as its weight on the surface of the earth. What about the weight of our pound of butter on the surface of the moon?At the distance the puii of the earth is about 4,000 times smaller than it is here on the surface,so we can forget all about the earth-pull on our butter. On the other hand,on the moon there will be an attraction between the butter and the moon,but the butter will weigh only about one-sixth as much as it does on the earth.This is because the moon is so much smaller than the earth.The amount of gravitational pull that a body produces depends on the amount of material in it.A packet of butter has a gravitational pull of its own;but this is very small in relation to the pull of something as large as the moon,or the earth,or the sun.According to the passage,"weight"should be understood in the sense thatA:it is fixed if it is outside the earth's gravitational puliB:it decreases four times when it is 4,000 miles from the earth's centerC:it varies with the change of the gravitational attraction between two objectsD:things increase in amount as they are closer to the earth's surface

Ultraviolet radiation is useful in killing certain disease organisms.X-rays and gamma rays have so much 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 hiddencracks in metal,and in medicine to reveal broken bones.4 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.5 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．入bout 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 chemi- cal 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）.6 Nuclear energy is beginning to compete with coal as an economical source of power to generate elec- tricity.It is also being used to operate engines in large ships.Scientists continue to seek new and bettermethods of obtaining and using energy.The energy stored in coal_______________.A:electromagnetic energyB:electromagnetic energy travels through spaceC:came from the sunD:when a change in the nucleus of an atom takes placeE:whlen the sunrays are fierce F:chemical energy is generated
共用题干Electromagnetic Energy1 White light seems to be a combination of all colors.The energy that comes from a source of light isnot 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.2 The sun is 93 million miles away from the earth.Yct we can use energy from die sun because elec-tromagnetic energy travels through space.3 Many other kinds of energy are also types of electromagnetic energy.Radio,television,and radar signais travel from transmitters to receivers as low-energy electromagnetic waves.

共用题干Weight on and off the Earth We are so used to.our life on the surface of the earth that it can be quite an effort for our mind to break free of all the ideas that we take for granted.Because we can feel that things are heavy,we think of "weight"as being a fixed quality in an object,but it is not really fixed at all.If you could take a one-pound packet of butter 4,000 miles out from the earth,it would weigh only a quarter of a pound. Why would things weigh only a quarter as much as they do at the surface of the earth if we took them 4,000 miles out into space?The reason is this:all objects have a natural attraction for all other objects;this is called gravitational attraction.But this power of attraction between two obects gets weaker as they get farther apart.When the butter was at the surface of the earth,it was 4,000 miles from the center.When we took the butter 4,000 miles out,it was 8,000 miles from the center,which is twice the distance.If you double the distance between two objects,their gravitational attraction decreases two times two.If you treble the distance, it gets nine times weaker(three times three)and so on. So this is one of the first things we need to remember that the weight of an object in space is not the same as its weight on the surface of the earth. What about the weight of our pound of butter on the surface of the moon?At the distance the puii of the earth is about 4,000 times smaller than it is here on the surface,so we can forget all about the earth-pull on our butter. On the other hand,on the moon there will be an attraction between the butter and the moon,but the butter will weigh only about one-sixth as much as it does on the earth.This is because the moon is so much smaller than the earth.The amount of gravitational pull that a body produces depends on the amount of material in it.A packet of butter has a gravitational pull of its own;but this is very small in relation to the pull of something as large as the moon,or the earth,or the sun.We find it hard to break free from ideas connected with living on the earth because______.A:it demands too great an effort for us to do soB:we are too familiar with the way things are to question the ideasC:we have proved that those ideas are correctD:we are so sure of ourselves that we never doubt anything on the earth
