Learn About Light

1 Ancient civilizations were amazed by the existence of light for thousands of years?The Greek philoso-
phrrs believed that light was made up of countless,tiny particles that enter the human eye and create what
we call vision.However,Empedocles and a Dutch scientist named Christian Huygens believed that light wag
like a wave.According to them,light spread out and travelled like a straight line.This theory was accepted
during the 19th century.
2 In 1905,Albert Einstein published a research paper in which he explained what is referred to as the
photoelectric effect.This theory explains that particles make up light.The particles Einstein was referring to
are weightless bundles（束）of electromagnetic（电磁）energy called photons（光子）.Today,scientists agree
that light has a dual（二重）nature一it is part particle and part wave. It is a form of energy that allows us to
see things around us.
3 Things that give off light are known as sources of light.During the day,the primary source of light is
the sun.Other sources of light include stars,flames,flashllights,street lamps and glowing gases in glass
tube.
4 When we draw the way light travels we always use straight lines.This is because normally light rays
travel in a straight line.However,there are some instances that can change the path and even the nature of
light. They are reflection,absorption,interference（干扰）,etc.
5 Physicists have attempted to measure the speed of light since the early times.In 1849,Hippolyte
Fizeau conducted an experiment by directing a beam of light to a mirror located kilometers away and placed
a rotating cogwheel（旋转齿轮）between the beam and the mirror. From the rate of rotation of the wheel,
number of wheel'S teeth and distance of the mirror,he was able to calculate that the speed of light is 313
million meters per second.In a vacuum（真空）,however,the speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per
second.This is about a million times faster than the speed of an airplane.

Paragraph 4________
A:How is the Nature of Light Explained Today?
B:What are Sources of Light?
C:How did Physicists Measure the Speed of Light?
D:How does Light Travel?
E:How did People Think of Light Years Ago?
F: What Causes a Shadow?

考题 Passage OneLong time ago, the ancient people could not travel to any far away places for they had no vehicle to carry them across the wide oceans, deep valleys, long rivers or high mountains.Nowadays people take advantage of steamships, trains, airplanes and modern bridges. Airplanes can carry us to the far countries in a short time; steamships can travel across the wide oceans. It is convenient to the modern people.Travelling is a good idea to us because we can get more knowledge, such as the customs, the geography of other countries. And people could travel among the different countries in the world. For it is easy to travel from the land by trains, or from the sea by ships.We learnt that the Italian who made the world large was Mr. Columbus. He was a brave man. Up to the middle of the 15th century, the people were afraid of traveling because they believed it was a dangerous thing.There is a saying in China, which is "Travelling for thousands is better than reading for ten years." It is to say that we can learn more in different places than we can learn from books.36. The people in ancient times couldn't travel too far away places because______.A. they found it no use doing soB. they liked staying at homeC. there was no modern transportationD. they were forbidden to go to other countries

WISE stands for "Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer".As its name suggests,the WISE camera takes pictures of features that give off infrared radiation.Radiation is energy that travels as a wave.Visible light,including the familiar spectrum of light that be- comes visible in a rainbow,is an example of radiation.When an ordinary digital camera takes a picture of a tree,for example,it receives the waves of visible light that are reflected off the tree.When these waves enter the camera through the lens,they're processed by the camera,which then puts the image together.Waves of infrared radiation are longer than waves of visible light,so ordinary digital cameras don't see them,and neither do the eyes of human beings.Although invisible to the eye,longer infrared radiation can be detected as warmth by the skin.That's a key idea to why WISE will be able to see things other telescopes can't.

考题 共用题干 第三篇Weaving with LightIn the Sierra Madre mountain range of west central Mexico,the native Huichol people live much the way their ancestors did一without electricity,That’s because it's too expensive to string power lines to the remote mountain areas where they live.To help support themselves,the Huichol create beautiful artwork. They sell their art in cities hundreds of miles away from their villages.And without electricity一at home or on the road,they can only work during daylight hours?When it gets dark,they must stop whatever they'redoing.Now，a team of scientists,designers,and architects is using new technologies to provide the Huichol with light after the sun sets.The scientists'technique involves weaving tiny electronic crystals into fabrics that can be made into clothes,bags,or other items.By collecting the sun’s energy during the day,these lightweight fabrics provide bright white light atnight一 Their inventors have named the fabrics" Portable（轻便的）Lights."Portable Lights have the potential to transform the lives of people without electricity around the world.At the core of Portable Lights technology are devices called high-brightness light-emitting diodes（高亮 度发光二极管）,or HB LEDs. These tiny lights appear in digital clocks, televisions, and streetlights.LEDs are completely different from the light bulbs（灯泡）.Most of those glass bulbs belong to a type called incandescent lights（白炽灯）.Inside, electricity heats a metal coil（线圈）to about 2. 200 degrees Celsius.At that temperature,bulbs give off light we can see.Ninety percent of energy produced by mnean- descent lights,however,is heat一and invisible.With all that wasted energy,bulbs burn out quickly. Theyare also easily broken.LEDs,on the other hand,are like tiny pieces of rock made up of molecules（分子）that are arranged in a crystal structure.When an electric current passes through a LED,the crystal structure produces light. Un- like incandescent bulbs,they can produce light of various colors.Within a LED,the type of molecules and their particular arrangement determine what color is produced.The central part of the Portable Lights technology is_________.A:glass bulbsB:digital clocksC:incandescent lightsD:HB LEDs

考题 共用题干 A Star Is Born1 The VLT (Very Large Telescope) is the world's largest telescope（望远镜）and is taking astronomers（天文学家） further back to the Big Bang than they ever thoughtpossible.Located 2,600 metres up in the Chilean Andes,it has four huge mirrors,each about the size of a London bus.The VLT is so powerful it can spot a burning match 10,000 kilometres away.2 This astonishing power will allow astronomers to see events in space from the birth of stars to the collision（碰撞）of galaxies（星系）on the edge of the cosmos（宇宙）.The VLT is giving astronomers their best-ever view of the cosmos.The power of the VLT to see the smallest detail at the furthest distances makes its designers amazed.3 Take the case of Eta Carinae,one of the most explosive stars in the universe.This star produces ultraviolet laser rays（紫外线）and it will destroy itself in a few million years' time. It is five times brighter than the sun and when it explodes it is going to be a sight worth waiting for!4 But it is at distances of millions,even billions,of light years that the VLT really shows its power. The VLT can detect light that set out on its journey before the earth even existed. This gives astronomers their first-ever detailed views of events that took place in the earliest days of the cosmos.5 In other words,the VLT is a kind of a time machine.It takes astronomers back to a time when complete galaxies crashed into each other.

考题 共用题干 Cell PhonesI Believe it or not,cell phones have been around for over a quarter of a century.The first commercial cell phone systemfl was developed by the Japancoc in I 979.But cell phones have changed a lotsince that time.The early cell phones were big and heavy but they have developed into small and light palm-sized mod- els.There have been huge (lcveloprnents in their functions,too;we have had call forwarding,text messaging, answering services and hands-free use for years,but now there are countless new facilities,su,ch as instant ac- cess to the Internet and receiving and sending photos.2 Cell phones have become very common in our lives;recent statistics suggest as many as one in three people cii the planet now have a cell phone,and most of them say they couldn't live without one.Cell phones are used in every area of our lives and have become a necessary tool,used for essential arrangements,socialcontact and business.They have made it easier to call for help on the highway.They have made it possible tokeep in touch with people"on the move”一when people are traveling.3 Cell phones have made communication easier and have reduced the need for family arguments.Wecan use cell phones to let our family know we'11 be late or if there’。a sudden change of tian or an emergen- cy.Cell phones have eased the worries of millions of parents when their teenagers are out late,they can nowcontact their children at any time.4 This does not mean that cell phones are all good news.They have brought with them a number of new headaches for their owners;it costs a lot to replace stolen phones,something that is becoming a frequent occurrence,and have you ever seen such huge phone bills? More serious,however,is the potential healthproblem they bring:there are fears that radiation from the phones may cause brain tumor（肿瘤）.This may be a time bomb waiting to happen to younger people who have grown up with cell phones that they simply can'tlive without!We can use cell phones to communicate with others when we encounter__________. A:a necessityB:an emergencyC:a number of new hcadachesD:family argumentsF:big and light palm-sized models F:countless new facilities

考题 共用题干 Learn About Light1 Ancient civilizations were amazed by the existence of light for thousands of years?The Greek philoso- phrrs believed that light was made up of countless,tiny particles that enter the human eye and create what we call vision.However,Empedocles and a Dutch scientist named Christian Huygens believed that light wag like a wave.According to them,light spread out and travelled like a straight line.This theory was acceptedduring the 19th century.2 In 1905,Albert Einstein published a research paper in which he explained what is referred to as the photoelectric effect.This theory explains that particles make up light.The particles Einstein was referring to are weightless bundles（束）of electromagnetic（电磁）energy called photons（光子）.Today,scientists agree that light has a dual（二重）nature一it is part particle and part wave. It is a form of energy that allows us tosee things around us.3 Things that give off light are known as sources of light.During the day,the primary source of light is the sun.Other sources of light include stars,flames,flashllights,street lamps and glowing gases in glass tube.4 When we draw the way light travels we always use straight lines.This is because normally light rays travel in a straight line.However,there are some instances that can change the path and even the nature of light. They are reflection,absorption,interference（干扰）,etc.5 Physicists have attempted to measure the speed of light since the early times.In 1849,Hippolyte Fizeau conducted an experiment by directing a beam of light to a mirror located kilometers away and placed a rotating cogwheel（旋转齿轮）between the beam and the mirror. From the rate of rotation of the wheel, number of wheel'S teeth and distance of the mirror,he was able to calculate that the speed of light is 313 million meters per second.In a vacuum（真空）,however,the speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second.This is about a million times faster than the speed of an airplane.Hippolyte Fizeau conducted an experiment to measure_________.A:sources of lightB:the speed of light C:the path of lightD:a straight lineE:a beam of lightF:a form of energy

考题 If you are writing or studying,it makes very much difference where the light comes from.People who use books and pens every day have to be especially careful about the way the light shines on their work. Every house gets its light either from daylight through the windows--which is the best to use--or from lamps or electricity;but whichever kind of light it is,the way it shines toward our book or work is a matter of great importance to the eyes. Take a book,sit with your back toward the window,and try to read.Your shadow（影子）falls all over the page and makes it almost as bad for your eyes as if you were in a dark room. Now turnaround and face the window.The page is in the shadow again,while the bright light is in your eyes. Try sitting with your right side toward the window.This is very well for reading,but if you were writing,the shadow of your hand would fall across the page and bother（打搅）you a little. There is just one other way:sit with your left side to the window.Now everything is perfect for reading and for writing,too. Whatever kind of light is in the room,the rule about the right to sit is always the same. Which of the following is true?A.How the light shines on our work is of much importance. B.The way the light shines on your work makes no difference. C.We needn't care about where the light comes from. D.People can write or study under a light that comes from any direction.
