An underground revolution begins this winter.with the flipof a switch,30,000 homes in one part of Detroit will soon become the first in the country to receive electricity transmitted by ice.cold high.performance cables.Other American cities are expected to follow Detroits example in the years ahead.which could conserve enormous amounts of power. The new electrical cables at the Frisbie power station in Detroit are revolutionary because they are made of superconductors.A superconductor is a material that transmits electricity with little or no resistance.Resistance is the degree to which a substance resists electric current.All common electrical conductors have a certain amount of electrical resistance.They convert at least some of the electrical energy passing through them into waste heat.Superconductors dont? No one understands how superconductivity works.It just does. Making superconductors isnt easy.A superconductor material has to be cooled to an extremely low temperature to 10se its resistance.The first superconductors,made more than 50 years ago,had to be cooled to -263 degrees Celsius before they lost their resistance.Newer superconducting materials 10se their resistance at -143 degrees Celsius. The superconductors cable installed at the Frisbie station is made of a ceramic material that contains copper.oxygen.bismuth。strontium。and calcium。A ceramic is a hard.strong compound made from clay or minerals.The superconducting ceramic has been fashioned into a tape that is wrapped lengthwise around a long tube filled with liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen is super cold and lowers the temperature of the ceramic tape to the point where it conveys electricity with zero resistance.The United States loses an enormous amount of electricity each year to resistance.Because cooled superconductors have no resistance.they waste much less power.0ther cities are watching the Frisbie experiment in the hope that they might switch to superconducting cable and conserve power too. 36 What is the benefit of the revolution mentioned in the first paragraph? A With a flip of swish.electricity can be transmitted. B Other American cities can benefit from the high performance cables. C Great amounts of power can be conserved. D Detroit will first receive electricity transmitted by the new electrical cables 37 Compared to common electrical conductors,superconductors A have little or no electrical resistance. B Can be used for a long time. C are not energy-efficient. D can be made easily. 38 At what temperature does the superconducting ceramic lose its resistance? A -143 degree Celsius. B -263 degree Celsius. C As long as it is ice-cold. D Absolute zero. 39 What element enables the ceramic tape to lower its temperature? A Copper. B Liquid nitrogen. C Clay. D Calcium. 40 According to the last paragraph,which of the following statements is NOT true? A Other cities hope they Can also conserve power. B Other cities hope they Can use superconducting cables soon. C Superconductors waste less power because of heir low resistance. D The Frisbie experiment is not successful. 参考答案:C A A B D 答案解析: 36.正确答案为C.第一段的最后一句也提供了答案。尽管A、B、D的内容都在第一段中被提及,但不是这场革命所带来的主要利益所在。 37.正确答案为A.第二段的第二句和第四句提供了明确的答案,超导体几乎没有电阻,而普通导体都有一定量的电阻,故选A. 38.正确答案为A.题句的意思是:在什么温度下,超导体失去电阻?第三段最后一句提供了答案。B是50年前第一代超导体的温度数。C和D都不是正确说法。 39.正确答案为B.此题是细节题。第四段第四句提供了答案。A和D中的copper和calcium是用来制造超导体的陶瓷材料的成分;C中的clay是陶瓷材料的来源。 40.正确答案为D.本题属于判断题。A、B、C三个选项的信息在最后一段中都提到了,只有选项D的意思没提到,所以选D.
