2018年職稱英語考試理工類B級練習閱讀理解(二)

1、2018 年職稱英語考試理工類B 級練習閱讀理解（2）職稱英語理工 BInvisibility RingScientists cant yet make an invisibility cloak1 like theone that Harry Potter2 uses.But,for the first time,they veconstructed a simple cloaking device that makes itself and somethingplaced inside it invisible to microwaves.When a person sees an obj

2、ect,his or her eye senses many different waves of visiblelight as they bounce off the object.The eye and brain then work together to organize thesesensations and reconstruct the objects original shape. So,to make an object invisible,scientists have to keep waves from bouncing off it.And they have to

3、 makesure the objectcasts no shadow.Otherwise,the absence of reflected light on one side would give the obiectaway.Invisibility isnt possible yet with waves of light that the human eye can see.But it is nowpossible with microwaves.Like visible light,microwaves are a form of radiant energy.Theyare pa

4、rt of the electromagic spectrum,which also includes radiowaves,infrared light,ultraviolet rays,X rays,and gamma rays.The wavelengths of microwaves are shorter thanthose of radio waves but longer than those of visible light.The scientists new invisibility device is the size of a drink coaster and sha

5、ped like aring.The ring is made of a special material with unusual ability.When microwaves strike thering,very few bounce off it.Instead,they pass through the ring,which bends the waves allthe way around until they reach the opposite side.The waves then return to their originalpaths.To a detector se

6、t up to receive microwaves on the other side of the ring,it looks as if thewaves never changed their paths as if there were no object in the way ！ So,the ring is effectively invisible.When the researchers put a small cdpper loop inside the ring,it,too,is nearly invisible. However,the cloaking device

7、 and anything inside it do cast a pale shadow.And the deviceworks only for microwaves,not for visible light or any kind of electromagic radiation.So,Harry Potters invisibility cloak doesn t have any real petition yet.詞匯：invisibility/invizE5biliti/n. 看不見 , 無形spectrum/5spektrEm/n. 光譜cloak/klEuk/ 斗篷 ,

13、r microwaves.Dthe cloaking device works only for visible light.答案與題解：文章的第一段告訴我們 , 科學家還沒有發(fā)明哈里。波特使用的那種隱身衣, 所以不能選 A ；該段還告訴我們 , 科學家已制造了 , 一種裝置，這種裝置能使自身或置于其中的物體不被微波發(fā)現(xiàn)，所以C是正確選擇 , 也就是說 , 科學家發(fā)明的隱形裝置和哈里波特的隱身衣僅僅在概念上相同，這同時說明B和D是錯誤的選擇。第三段最后一句中告訴我們 ,A 是錯誤選擇,B 是正確選擇。該段第三句說, 微波與可見光一樣都是一種輻射能 , 所以 C 的說法是錯誤的 , 不能選擇；根據(jù)該段第一句： with wavesof light that the human eye can see 和第三句：Like visible light, 可以得知 D是 錯誤的說法, 也不能選擇。第四段第三句說, 當微波到達裝置表面時 ,very few bounceoff.very few是幾乎沒有的意思，所以選擇B.其他選擇所述內(nèi)容都可 以很容易在該段中找到。.A 第四段第一
