7.Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems.While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful,problems can arise when 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 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,resently the size and thickness of a penny,intended to power various micro/nanoelectromechanical systems(M/NEWS).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 battery's size,but also in its semiconductor(半导体).Kwon's 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(晶格结构) 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 battery's power,shrink its size and try with various other materials.Kwon said that the battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.

分析 本文为科普短文,介绍由美国密苏里大学研究者所开发的核能电池的情况.电池可以支持任何东西从小型传感器到大型系统.密苏里大学的研究人员正在开发一种更小、更轻、更高效的核能源.放射性同位素电池可以提供功率密度远远高于化学电池.研究人员一直致力于建立一个小型核电池,目前的大小和厚度像一分硬币那样,目的在于强化各种微系统.核能源已经安全地驱动各种设备,如pace-makers、空间卫星和水下系统.通过使用液体半导体而不是固体半导体,在未来,研究人员希望增加电池的电力,缩小其规模和试着使用不同的材料.
解答 71.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.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.D. 细节理解题.根据第六段"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.C. 细节理解题.根据文章最后一段"Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair"可知,电池的厚度能比人类的头发还有细,故C项正确.
75.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.
点评 解答细节理解题时,一个常用的方法就是运用定位法,即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子,与选项进行比较从而确定答案;推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思,又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断,力求从作者的角度去考虑,不要固守自己的看法或观点.
