these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. university of missouri(mu) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.“to provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density(密度)”，said jae kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at mu. “the radioisotope(放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro/nanoelectromechanreal systems (m/nems). although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, kwon said they are safe.“people hear the word nuclear and think of something very dangerous,” he said, “however, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.”his new idea is not only in the batterys size, but also in its semiconductor(半导体). kwons battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.“the key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶体结构) of the solid semiconductor,” kwon said, “by using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”together with j. david robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the mu research reactor, kwon is working to build and test the battery. in the future, they hope to increase the batterys power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.【文章大意】本篇为科普短文，介绍由美国密苏里大学研究者所开发的核能电池的情况。71. which of the following is true of jae kwon?a. he teaches chemistry at mu. b. he developed a chemical battery.c. he is working on a nuclear energy source. d. he made a breakthrough in computer engineering.72. jae kwon gave examples in paragraph 4_.a. to show chemical batteries are widely applied. b. to introduce nuclear batteries can be safely used.c. to describe a nuclear-powered system. d. to introduce various energy sources.73. liquid semiconductor is used to _.a. get rid of the radioactive waste b. test the power of nuclear batteries.c. decrease the size of nuclear batteries d. reduce the damage to lattice structure.74. according to jae kwon, his nuclear battery _.a. uses a solid semiconductor b. will soon replace the present ones.c. could be extremely thin d. has passed the final test.75. the text is most probably a _.a. science news report b. book review c. newspaper ad d. science fiction story【答案解析】71. 【解析】选c。细节理解题。根据第一段的university of missouri(mu) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient及第三段的叙述可知，kwon在研究一种核能电池，所以c项正确。72. 【解析】选b。细节理解题。根据文章第四段可知kwon举例的目的是为了说明核能电池是安全性。73. 【解析】选d。 细节理解题。根据part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶体结构) of the solid semiconductor,”及“by using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”可知，通过使用液态半导体材料，可减少对晶体结构的破坏。74. 【解析】选c。 细节理解题。根据kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair可知c项正确。75. 【解析】选a。推理判断题。本文讲述了kwon的原子能电池的有关情况，文章体裁应属于科普文章，所以a项正确。*结束高考预练.单项填空1(2012济南5月份练习)i have been working with lily for years，and never before _ her so serious!ai foundbi have foundcdid i find dhave i found解析：选d。考查倒装句。否定副词never放于句首时，句子要用部分倒装，所以排除a、b两项。根据语境可知，这之前“我”从没有发现她这么严肃。故选d。2(2012淄博模拟)_ the key to the car when my boss came towards me.finally i could drive him home as usual.anever had i found bseldom did i findchardly had i found dno sooner did i find解析：选c。考查倒装句。由语境知，“我”刚找到车钥匙，老板就朝“我”走来了。hardly.when.是固定句型，意为“刚就”。3(2012临沂质量检测)only when _ to explain _ the reason for this.adid he start；she realizedbhe started；did she realizecdid he start；she had realizeddhe started；had she realized解析：选b。考查倒装句。句意：只有当他解释时，她才意识到原因所在。若only后跟了副词、介词短语或从句等状语且置于句首时，则主句用倒装结构。故此处when引导从句不需要倒装，后面的主句需要倒装。即b项正确。4(2012青岛第二次统一检测)the japanese _ suffering from the worst natural disasters _.aare；ever since bare；of all timecis；ever since dis；of all time解析：选b。考查主谓一致和介词短语辨析。句意：日本人遭受着有史以来最严重的自然灾害。主语the japanese，表示复数概念，所以谓语动词用are；ever since“从那时起一直到现在”，通常与完成时连用，故排除。of all time意为“有史以来”，符合题意。故选b项。5(2012太原模拟)more than a dozen students in that school _abroad for further study every year.asent bare sentchave been sent dhave sent解析：选b。句意：每年那所学校有十多个学生被送到国外深造。more than a dozen十多个，谓语动词用复数；另外，句子的时间状语为every year，所以用一般现在时。6(2012南昌一模)when i try to understand_ that prevents so many americans from being as happy
