2015年度職稱英語考試理工類試題練習及答案3
What Is the Coolest Gas In The Universe?
What is the coldest air temperature ever recorded on the Earth? Where was this low temperature recorded? The coldest recorded temperature on Earth was -91℃,which ____ (51)in Antarctica(南極洲)in 1983.
We encounter an interesting situation when we discuss temperatures in ____(52).Temperatures in Earth orbit(軌道)actually range from about +120℃ to -120℃.The temperature depends upon ____(53)you are in direct sunlight or shade.Obviously, -120℃is colder than our body can ____(54)endure.
The space temperatures just discussed affect only our area of the solar ____(55).Obviously,it is hotter closer to the Sun and colder as we travel ____(56)from the Sun.Scientists estimate temperatures at Pluto are about -210℃.How cold is the lowest estimated temperature in the entire universe? Again, it depends upon your ____(57).We are taught it is supposedly ____(58)to have a temperature below absolute zero, which is -273℃,at which atoms do not move. Two scientists, Cornell and Wieman,have successfully ____(59)down a gas to a temperature barely above absolute zero.They won a Nobel Prize in Physics in 2001 for their work-not a discovery,in this case.
Why is the two scientists' work so important to science?
In the 1920s,Satyendra Nath Bose was studying an interesting ____(60)about special light particles(顆粒)we now call photons(光子)醫(yī)學.全在線m.zxtf.net.cn.Bose had trouble ____ (61)other scientists to believe his theory,so he contacted Albert Einstein.Einstein's calculations helped him theorize that atoms ____(62)behave as Bose thought-but only at very cold temperatures.
Scientists have also discovered that ultra-cold(超冷)atoms can help them make the world's atomic clocks even ____(63)accurate.These clocks are so accurate today they would only lose one second ____(64)six million years! Such accuracy will help us travel in space because distance is velocity times time(d=vt).With the long distances involved in space ____(65),we need to know time as accurately as possible to get accurate distance.
11.A. will B. would C. must D. need
12.A. that B. such C. more D. much
13.A. every B. any C. each D. some
14.A. station B. craft C. age D. travel
答案:
11 B 根據上下文判斷可以排除選項 C 和D。will 可用來表示"在一定的情況下通常會……',又因為本句主句的時態(tài)為一般過去式,所以從句中的助動詞使用過去式 would。 本題答案為B
12 C 句中的 even 是對比較級的修飾,所以本題答案為 C,表達的意思是"甚至更準確"。
13 A 本句要表達的意思是"這些鐘準確到每 6 百萬年才差一秒鐘",所以應該選擇every,表達"每一",其與 each 的區(qū)別是 every帶有頻率的含義,而 each 沒有這種意思。
14 D 本句要表達的意思是"在長距離的太空旅行時,我們更需要準確的時間以判斷準確的距離"。只有選項 D"旅行"最合適。選項 A 為"站";B 為"工藝";選項 C 為"年齡、時代"。
