D.WeShouldOnlyUseFossilFuels.
【答案】BDAA
【解析】本文是一篇议论文,主要讨论了核能作为许多国家的第一能源是否安全的问题。
1.词意猜测题。
根据第五段“Manypeopledon’twantnuclearpowerintheircountries.”可知,许多人不想在他们国家使用核能;由此推知,核能是不安全的。
故it指nuclearpower“核能”。
故选B。
2.推理判断题。
根据最后一段“Wejustdon’thaveenoughfossilfuel.However,ifweusenuclearpower,thenwemayhavemoreseriousproblemsinthefuture.”可知,我们只是没有足够的矿物燃料。
然而,如果我们使用核能,那么在未来,或许我们会有更严重的问题。
由此推知,D项“有一天人们会用尽矿物燃料”符合语境。
故选D。
3.推理判断题。
“That’swhyweneednewsourcesofenergy.”表示“那就是我们需要新能源的原因”。
根据第一段谈到矿物燃料快用光了;第二段谈到一种新的能源;由此推知,该句应用作第一段的结尾句,引出下文。
故选A。
4.最佳标题题。
根据最后两段可知,许多人认为核能是不安全的,但越来越多的国家在使用它,那么它到底是否安全,本文就此展开了讨论。
故选A。

【答案】ADADAA
【解析】这篇短文给我们讲述了核辐射的危害。
核辐射非常的神秘,因为它看不见、听不见、摸不着、尝不到,但是即使最低水平的辐射也会造成严重的伤害。
5.细节理解题。
根据短文第二段Nuclearradiationhasacertainmystery(神秘)aboutit,partlybecauseitcannotbefoundbyhumansenses.Itcan'tbeseenorheard,ortouchedortasted,eventhoughitmaybeallaroundus.可知,核辐射很神秘,部分原因是它不能被人感觉到。
故选A。
6.细节理解题。
根据短文第二段Similarly,wecan'tsenseradioactivitywithoutaradiationdetector可知A不对,在现代仪器的帮助下,可以探测到射线;B选项错在Only“仅仅,只有”,任何量的辐射都是有害的;根据第三段Butifthefewcellsareonlydamaged,andiftheyreproducethemselves,youmaybeintrouble.可知C不对,如果仅有部分细胞被伤害,如果它们自己替换,你回遇到麻烦。
根据短文第三段Buteventhelowestlevelofradiationcandoseriousdamage.Thereisnolevelofradiationthatiscompletelysafe.可知,即使最低水平的辐射也能造成严重的伤害,没有任何水平的辐射是完全安全的。
故选D。
7.词义猜测题。
important重要的;meaningful有意义的;harmful有害的;obvious明显的。
根据单词所在的语境Iftheradiationdoesnothitanythingimportant,thedamagemaynotbesignificant.“如果辐射没有击中任何重要的东西,损害可能并不……”,significant应表示“严重的”,与important意思接近。
故选A。
8.细节理解题。
根据短文第三段以及第四段的内容Atveryhighlevels,radiationcankillananimalorhumanbeingcompletelybykillingmasses(块;团)ofcells(细胞)invital(=veryimportant)organs.…Butifthefewcellsareonlydamaged,andiftheyreproducethemselves,youmaybeintrouble.Theyreproducethemselvesinadeformed(畸形)way.Theycangrowintocancer(癌症).….Orachildcanbebornweakoreasytohaveseriousillnessasresultofradiationabsorbed(吸收)byitsgrandparents.可知,A、B和C三项都是核辐射对我们的危害。
故选D。
9.推理判断题。
根据文意可知,短文中作者介绍了核辐射对我们的危害,在短文的最后Radiationcanhurtus.Wemustknowthetruth作者提到“核辐射会伤害我们,我们必须知道真相”。
由此可知,作者写这篇文章的目的就是让我们要注意防护核辐射。
故选A。
10.主旨大意题。
根据文章中Butunlikecommonradiowaves,nuclearradiationisnotharmlesstohumanbeingsandotherlivingthings.、Buteventhelowestlevelofradiationcandoseriousdamage.Thereisnolevelofradiationthatiscompletelysafe、Radiationcanhurtus.Wemustknowthetruth可知,短文主要介绍了核辐射对我们的危害。
B和D两个选项与核辐射这一关键词无关;C选项不是文章的主要内容。
故选A。
