Nuclear Power and Its Danger

Nqclear power's danger to health,safety,and even life itself can be summed up in one word:radiation.
Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it,partly because it cannot be detected by human senses.
It can't be seen or heard,or touched,or tasted,even though it may be all around us.There are other things
like that.For example,radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them,sense them,without a radio
receiver.Similarly,we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves,
nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.
At very high levels,radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells in vital or-
gans.But even the lowest level of radiation can do serious damage.There is no level of radiation that is completely
safe.if the radiation does not hit anything important,the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only
a few cells are hit,and if they are killed outright.Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few
cells are only damaged,and if they reproduce themselves,you may be in trouble.They reproduce them-
selves in a deformed way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.
This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation.Serious damage can be done with-
out the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred.A person can be irradiated and feel fine,
then die of cancer five,ten,or twenty years later as a result.Or a child can be born weak or liable to
serious illness as result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.
Radiation can hurt us.We must know the truth.

Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage?
A:The importance of protection from radiation cannot be over-emphasized.
B:The mystery about radiation remains unsolved.
C:Cancer is mnainly caused by radiation.
D:Radiation can hurt those who are not aware of its danger.

参考答案

参考解析
解析：由文章第一句“Nuclear power' s danger to health , safety , and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.”可知，核能对人类健康，安全性甚至生命造成的威胁可归纳到一个词：核辐射。故选C。
由文章第三段第一句和第二句“At very high levels , radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells in vital organs.But even the lowest level of radiation can do serious damage.”可知，高强度的核辐射通过杀死主要器官里的大量细胞，导致动物或人类立刻死亡。不过即使是最低强度的辐射也可能造成严重的后果（通过损伤主要器官里的少量细胞）。由第二句中的but可知，这是两个对比句，后面一句省略了by killing little cells in vital or-gans。故选B。
在第三段中，significant最可能的含义是：A．致命的；B．有意义的；C．值得注意的； D．有害的。根据上下文，A项最符合句意。故选A。
由文章第三段第一句可知，选项A：杀死主要器官里的大量细胞，导致人立刻死亡，是正确的。由文章第三段最后两句话“They can grow into cancer.Sometimes this does not show up for many years.”可知，选项B：损伤细胞，致使细胞多年以后发生癌变，是正确的。由文章倒数第二段最后一句话“Or a child can be born weak or liable to serious illness as result of radiation ab-- sorbed by its grandparents.”可知，选项C：影响我们后代的健康，是正确的。故选D。
题干的意思是能从文章中推断出的最恰当的陈述是：A．预防核辐射的重要性再强调也不过分；B．辐射的秘密还没有揭开；C．癌症主要是由辐射引起的；D．辐射可能伤害那些意识不到辐射危害的人。从文章内容和常识判断，A为正确答案。

考题 共用题干 The Development of American Postal SystemIn the early days of the United States,postal charges were paid by the recipient and charges varied with the distance carried.In 1825,the United States Congress permitted local postmasters to give letters to mail carriers for home delivery,but these carriers received no government salary and their entire compensation depended on what they were paid by the recipients of individual let-ters.In 1847,the United States Post Office Department adopted the idea of a postage stamp, which of course simplified the payment for postal service but caused grumbling by those who did not like to prepay.Besides,the stamp covered only delivery to the post office and did not include carrying it to a private address.In Philadelphia,for example,with a population of 150,000,peo- ple still had to go to the post office to get their mail.The confusion and congestion of individual citizens looking for their letters was itseff enough to discourage use of the mail.It is no wonder that,during the years of these cumbersome arrangements,private letter-carrying and express bus-mnesses developed.Although their activities were only semi-legal,they thrived and actually adver-tised that between Boston and Philadelphia they were half-day speedier than the government mail. The government postal service lost volume to private competition and was not able to handle effi-ciently even the business it had.Finally,in 1863,Congress provided that the mail carriers who delivered the mail from the post offices to private addresses should receive a government salary, and that there should be no extra charge for that delivery. But this delivery service was at first confined to cities,and free home delivery became a sing of urbanization.In 1890,of the 75 mul-lion people in the United States,fewer than 20 million had mail delivered free to their doors.The rest,nearly three quarters of the population,still received no mail unless they went to their post office. What is the main idea of the passage?A: The development of a government postal system.B: The increasing use of private mail services.C: The history of postal stamps.D: The comparison of urban and rural postal services.

考题 共用题干 Marriage Advertisements in IndiaEvery Sunday morning millions of Indians settle down with a cup of tea and special weekend issues of their newspapers,just as Americans do.But here,with the marriage season approaching,many of them quick-ly to a Sunday feature that is particularly Indian-the-columns of marriage advertisements in which young peo-pie look for husbands and wives.This is relatively modern change in the age-old custom of the arranged marriage.The thousands of advertisements published each week increasingly reflect social changes that coming to this traditional society.For example,although women are still described in terms of appearance,or skill in"the wifely arts,"information about her earning power is entering more and more of the advertise-ments.This reflects the arrival in India of the working wife.Divorce,%%Thich use(1 to be almost unheard of iii India,is sometimes now mentioned in the advertisements as in the case of a woman whose advertisemeiit in New Delhi newspaper explained that had been"the inno- cent party"when her marriage broke up.Because the custom of the dowry(marriage payment)is now illegal,some advertisements say"no dow-ry",or"simple marriage",which means the same thing. However,the fathers of many bridegrooms still re-quire it.In a land where light skin is often regarded as socially preferable,many also require that a woman have a"wheat-color"complexion or that a man be"tall,fair and handsome".Advertisements are placed and eagerly read by a wide range of people in the upper classes,mostly in cities.Many of them receive dozens of answers."There'S nothing embarrassing about it,"explained a Cal-cutta businessman advertising a son-in-law."It's just another way of broadening the contacts and increase the possibility of doing the contacts and increasing the possibilities of doing the best one for one's daughter."Because of high unemployment and a generally poor standard of living here,one of the best attractions a marriage advertisement can offer is a permit to live abroad,especially in Canada or the United States.A per-son who has one can get what he wants.One recent Sunday in Madras,for example,a Punjabi engineer living in San Francisco advertised for a "beautiful slim bride with lovely features knowing music and dance."And a man whose advertisement said that he held an American immigration permit was able to say,only girls from rich,well-connected families need apply.In India people with light skin and good feature are preferable.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned
