Microwaves may be great at warming up food, but what about warming people?

Using microwaves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furniture. And despite popular ideas about microwaves, this technique would be safe, according to Charles R. Buffler of the Microwave Research Center in Marlborough, New Hampshire. Low—power microwaves only penetrate(贯穿) the skin (low—power microwave penetration in a ham is about 0.22 inches, for example) and with no negative effects.

To test this idea, Buffler subjected(使…经受) himself to microwaves in a special room using a standard 500-watt, 2459 MHz magnetron(磁控管). He found that a person will start to feel warmth at about 20 milliwatts per square centimeter (mw. / sq. cm. ); a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35 and 50 mw. / sq. cm. By comparison, a person standing in noonday summer sun feels the amount of 85 mw. / sq. cm. And a frozen meat pie in your microwave oven receives about 1,000 mw. /sq. cm.

In houses of the future, each room could be provided with its own magnetron, says Buffler. When you stepped into the living room, for example, a motion detector(探测器) would turn on the magnetron, filling the room with low-power microwaves. In the same way that a microwave oven heats up a hamburger, but not the plate it’s on, you would feel warmth from the microwaves without changing the temperature of your coffee table. (You could, however, make your favorite easy chair even more comfortable by treating it with a radiation-absorbing chemical.)

While it might be some time before homeowners are comfortable enough with the idea to set up whole-body microwave heaters in houses, Buffler says, microwaves may attract livestock(家畜) farmers. Lambs that are born outdoors in winter, for example, are frequently lost to cold. Microwaves could warm the lambs safely and quickly.

61.This passage mainly tells us about ________.

A. a new heating system B. a new microwave oven

C. a popular technique D. a kind of magnetron

62. The following are the characteristics of a microwave heater EXCEPT that ________.

A. it directly heats people in a room

B. it heats walls and furniture in a room

C. it is safe D. it saves energy

63. The test conducted by Buffler shows that when a person feels comfortable warmth, he receives about __________.

A. 20 mw./sq. cm B. 40 mw./sq. cm

C. 60 mw./sq. cm D. 85 mw./sq. cm

64. According to paragraph 4, What will fill the room with low-power microwaves?

A. The magnetron B. The motion detector

C. The microwave oven D. The radiation-absorbing chemical

65. Which of the following statements about microwave heaters would Buffler most probably agree with?

A. Microwave heaters will soon be widely used by homeowners.

B. Microwave heaters sometimes make people feel uncomfortable.

C. Perhaps microwave heaters will be first used by livestock farmers in winter.

Tall, straight, and strong, she stood on the winner’s stand. The gold medal was hers! Few people, however, knew the problems Wilma Rudolph had overcome to win this treasure.

Wilma was one of twenty-two children and was only four and one half pounds when she was born. She walked later than the other children in her poor Tennessee town. When she was four, she had scarlet fever (猩红热), double pneumonia(肺炎), and polio(小儿麻痹症). After this, she could not use her left leg, and the doctors said she might never walk again. “Wilma will walk,” her mother said. Every week, on her day off, Mrs. Rudolph took Wilma ninety miles on a bus to a clinic in Nashville. There she received treatment for her paralyzed leg. At home her family also massaged(按摩) her damaged muscles.

When she was six, Wilma began to walk slowly and awkwardly with her leg in a brace(支架). At eight, she limped(跛行) around in a special, heavy, high-built shoe. By the time she was thirteen, however, she was running and playing with the neighborhood children.

Wilma amazed everyone. In high school she joined the baseball, track, and basketball teams. She was called “Skeeter(蚊子)” because she seemed always to be flying around like a mosquito. She became the star attraction at her school’s athletic events, and people said, “She runs like she was born to run.” Wilma decided that she was born to win, too. In college at Tennessee State, she won meet after meet, although she was still sometimes sick.

Wilma ran with grace and determination. She beat all her competitors as she did at the 1960 Olympics in Rome, Italy. Here the people hailed her as the “gazelle(蹬羚)” and shouted out words of encouragement. Wilma set new records in the 100-meter dash and 200-meter dash, and she won the 400-meter relay with her teammates.

At twenty, Wilma Rudolph became the first woman to win three Olympic gold medals in track and field. That was a great feat, especially because of all the problems she had to overcome.

Wilma Rudolph died young---at 54---in 1994.

66. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Wilma was intelligent.

e. She was called “Skeeter”.

A. d. b. a. e. c B. d. b. a. c. e C. b. d. a. e. c D. b. d. a. c. e

Baylor, Byrd. The Table Where Rich People Sit. Simon & Schuster, 1994. ISBN0684196530. 52 pages.

Around an old kitchen table, a young girl calls a family meeting to show her parents that they should earn more money so they can have nicer things. As she points out they are not sitting at a table where rich people would sit, her parents calculate the value of the desert hills, the blooming cactus, the calls of eagles, and one another’s company. Soon, she realizes that her poor family is rich in things that matter in life. She concludes that this is indeed a table where rich people sit.

Before a new type of airplane goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others.

The first is called the “tank test”. A modern airplane must fly very high in the sky. Air

must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure (结构) of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure (压力) on a small window is like a huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to fail, the plane would explode in the sky. To test the structure of the plane, the plane is lowered into a huge tank or container of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is high up in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere else. Engineers can discover which part of the plane has broken. Then that part is made stronger.

The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flights in the air. The test pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines(发动机) are all shut off at once. The plane begins to fall like a stone. It is the pilot’s job to find out how he can get control of the plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.

78. By doing the “tank test”, the engineers can find out _________________.

A. the amount of air in the plane

B. the strength of the plane structure

C. the pressure inside and outside the plane

D. the power of the airplane engines.

79. According to the text, why are test flights most dangerous?

A. The plane may explode in the air.

B. The pilot may lose control of the plane.

C. The engines may be damaged.

D. Too much air may get into the plane.

80. What might be the most suitable title for the text?

A. Two Important Tests on Airplanes

B. The Importance of Flying Safely

C. The Danger of Testing Airplanes

D. How Airplanes Are Made and Tested

Before a new type of airplane goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others.

The first is called the “tank test”. A modern airplane must fly very high in the sky. Air

must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure (结构) of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure (压力) on a small window is like a huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to fail, the plane would explode in the sky. To test the structure of the plane, the plane is lowered into a huge tank or container of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is high up in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere else. Engineers can discover which part of the plane has broken. Then that part is made stronger.

The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flights in the air. The test pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines(发动机) are all shut off at once. The plane begins to fall like a stone. It is the pilot’s job to find out how he can get control of the plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.

78. By doing the “tank test”, the engineers can find out _________________.

A. the amount of air in the plane

B. the strength of the plane structure

C. the pressure inside and outside the plane

D. the power of the airplane engines.

79. According to the text, why are test flights most dangerous?

A. The plane may explode in the air.

B. The pilot may lose control of the plane.

C. The engines may be damaged.

D. Too much air may get into the plane.

80. What might be the most suitable title for the text?

A. Two Important Tests on Airplanes

B. The Importance of Flying Safely

C. The Danger of Testing Airplanes

D. How Airplanes Are Made and Tested

V. 单词拼写(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
