阅读理解(共15小题,计30分)
阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳答案。
A
Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. In one second, light travels about 300,000 kilometers. But sound travels only 344 meters. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race if you stand some distance away from the starter. You can see smoke from his gun before the sound reaches your ears.
This great speed of light produces some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays (光线) left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away that the light which you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million kilometers per minute. In some cases, the light from one of tonight's stars started on its journey to you before you were born.
Thus, if we want to be honest, we can't say, "The stars are shining tonight" . We have to say, "The stars look pretty, they were shining four year ago but their light has only just reached the earth."
41. Light speed is than sound speed.
A. million times faster B. a million times slower
C. about millions limes faster D. about a million times faster
42. If you stand 200 meters away from a man who is firing a gun to start a race you will find out that .
A. you can hear the gun before you see the smoke
B. sound does not travel as fast as light
C. the sound of the gun will reach you before the man fires his gun
D. sound travels about a million times faster than light.
43. Sunlight obviously than the light of the moon.
A. has to travel a greater distance B. moves less quickly
C. travels much more quickly D. less powerful
44. The scientific way of saying "The stars are shining tonight" should be.
A. the stars have been shining all the time
B. the stars seen tonight will be shining four years later
C. the stars were shining long ago but seen tonight
D. the starlight seen today could be seen four years ago
45. The light of the nearest star you see tonight has been for years.
A. on the earth B. on the moon C. away from the sun D. away from that star
