Nuclear Power and Its Danger
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.
lt 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 organs.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 outnght.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 themselves 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 without 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 a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.
Radiation can hurt us.We must know the truth.

The underlined word"significant"in Paragraph 3 most probably means______.
A:fatal
B:meaningful
C:remarkable
D:harmful

参考答案和解析
答案:A
解析:
由文章第一段“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、安全甚至生命造成的威胁可归纳为一个词:核辐射。故选C。
由文章第三段第二句话可知,即使是强度最低的核辐射也会造成严重伤害。接下来作者对此从两方面进行说明,其中第二方面,即第七、八、九句话说,如果细胞仅仅是被破坏了,它们可能会再生,发展为畸形,并最终生成癌细胞,对人体造成危害。故选B。
由文章第三段第四句话“If the radiation does not hit anything important , the damage may not be significant.”可知,如果核辐射没有破坏重要的细胞,这种伤害可能不是致命的。significant意为“致命的”,与fatal(致命的)意思相近。故选A。
由文章第三段第一句话可知,选项A(杀死主要器官里的大量细胞,导致人或动物立刻死亡)是正确的。由文章第三段最后两句话可知,选项B(损伤细胞,致使细胞多年以后发生癌变)是正确的。由文章最后一段最后一句话可知,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。文章通篇都在讲核辐射的危害以及可能导致的严重后果,由此可推断出A项正确。故选A。

    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.

    The underlined word"significant"in paragraph 3 most probably means________.
    A:fatal
    B:meaningful
    C:remarkable
    D:harmful

    答案:A
    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。

    Nuclear Power and Its Danger

    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 outright by killing masses of cells in
    vital organs.But even the lowest level of radiation can do serious damage.There is no level of radiation that is
    comnpletely 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 themselves in a deformed way.They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not
    show up for many years.
    There is another reason for the mystery of nuclear radiation.Serious damage can be done without the
    victim being aware at the time that damage occurs. 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 a 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 mainly caused by radiation.
    D:Radiation can hurt those who are not aware of its danger.

    答案:A
    解析:
    由第一段内容可知核能的危险在于其辐射性。
    由第三段的第二句和该段最后四句可知,即使很少的细胞遭核辐射损坏(未被完全杀 死),也会造成严重的后果。

    Radiation can hurt us.We must know the truth.

    According to the passage,the danger of nuclear power lies in______.
    A:nuclear mystery
    B:radiation detection
    C:nuclear radiation
    D:radiation level

    答案:C
    解析:
    由文章第一段“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、安全甚至生命造成的威胁可归纳为一个词:核辐射。故选C。
    由文章第三段内容可知,即使是在辐射强度最低的情况下,一些细胞被破坏,也会造成严重的影响,因为这些细胞可能会再生,发展为畸形,并最终生成癌细胞,对人体造成危害。故选B。
    由文章第三段第四句话“If the radiation does not hit anything important , the damage may not be significant.”可知,如果辐射没有破坏重要的细胞,这种伤害可能不是致命的。signific ant在此处的意思是“致命的”,与fatal(致命的)意思相近。故选A。
    由文章第三段第一句话可知,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。由文章最后一段最后一句话可知,选项C(影响我们后代的健康成长)是正确的。故选D。
    文章主要讲述了核辐射的危害以及可能导致的严重后果。看四个选项,我们可以推断出选项A(预防核辐射的重要性再强调也不过分)是正确的。故选A。

    B:if it damages a few cells
    C:though the damaged cells can repair themselves
    D:if the damaged cells reproduce themselves

    答案:D
    解析:
    第一段就明确指出核能的危险在于它的核辐射。
    第三段提到即使很微量的辐射也会带来严重的后果,主要因为受损伤的细胞会以畸形的方式自我复制,进而转变为癌症。
    significant此处指“要紧的,致命的”所以选A。

    文章第二段和第四段分别提到了不同的reasons for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation,由此可以推断,核辐射仍然是一个未解之谜。
