　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　体裁：说明文　话题：能源安全　词数：319　时间：5′

　　Nuclear 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 immediately by killing masses of cells in vital organs.But even the lowest levels 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 serious.This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed immediately, 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 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 without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred.A person can be irradiated(辐射)and feel fine, then die for cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result.Or a child can be born weak as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.

　　Radiation can hurt us.We must know the truth.

　　【语篇解读】　核能源对健康、安全、甚至是生命本身的危害都能用一个词来概括：辐射。

　　21．What is the most dangerous factor of nuclear power?

　　A．Amount.

　　B．Quantity.

　　C．Radiation.

　　D．Place.

　　22．Which of the following statements is TRUE?

　　A．Nuclear radiation can do little harm to human beings.

　　B．Nuclear radiation can do harm to human beings.

　　C．Nuclear radiation can be detected by human senses.

　　D．Nuclear radiation is just like common radio waves.

　　答案　B　[由第一段，以及第三段第一、二、三句， 可知B正确，那么A就错了。根据第二段，可知C、D错误。]

　　23．How can nuclear radiation kill an animal?

　　A．By damaging its heart.

　　B．By killing a few cells in its body.

　　C．By hitting any place in its body.

　　D．By killing many cells in important organs.

　　答案　D　[由第三段第一句，可知辐射通过大量破坏重要器官的细胞，导致动物死亡。]

　　24Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery because ________．

　　A．it can do harm to a person while the victim doesn't know

　　B．human beings learn its harmfulness

　　C．nuclear radiation can kill a person very easily

　　D．human beings have no effective machine to detect nuclear radiation

　　答案　A　[由第二段第一句可知，辐射神秘之处在于，受害者在毫不知情的情况下就受到辐射的伤害了。]

　　25．If a human being is hit by nuclear radiation, he may ________．

　　A．die of cancer after many years

　　B．die immediately

　　C．have a child who may be born weak

　　D．all of the above

　　答案　D　[由倒数第二段最后两句可知，若人被辐射了，会因此患上癌症，并于几年后死亡。]

　　named

　　him

　　Lemon­Aide.We

　　gave Lemon­Aide to Lesa and told her he was to go with her to all of her treatments to remind her that we were thinking of her and caring about her even though we could not always be with her.When the treatments were completed，she said when someone else needed him she would pass him along.

　　A few months later，much to my surprise，it was me that she passed him to.Lemon­Aide went with me to all of my treatments.

　　One day while waiting for my doctor I decided we could market the idea to fight cancer.Lesa thought it was a great idea so we founded the organization that came to be known as Lemon­Aide' s Friends，Inc.We designed our organization to remind people fighting cancer that there are people who love and care about them all the time.Today we have totally 5013 volunteers.The money raised is donated to cancer patients who do not have insurance.The Physicians on our Board of Advisors determine how and where our money is donated.

　　Lemon­Aide is for men，women，and children of all ages and to date has been sent to 34 states and 33 countries to provide smiling support for people fighting cancer.When life gave us lemons we made Lemon­Aide，a soft smiling toy that represents love，support，and encouragement.

　　答案　C　[细节理解题。根据第三段“We designed our organization to remind people fighting cancer that there are people who love and care about them all the time.Today we have totally 5013 volunteers.The money raised is donated to cancer patients who do not have insurance.”可知，作者和朋友建立公益组织是为了帮助癌症患者。]
