Do you know that HEAT is a form of ENERGY? Yep, this form of energy acts on everything.And, were going to look at a

44、 few experiments to learn how this form of energy acts and why we need to know all about it. The heat energy of something is decided by how active its atoms( 原子)and molecules(分 子)are. A hot object is one whose atoms and molecules are excited and show rapid movement. A cooler objects molecules and at

45、oms will be less excited and show less movement. When these guys are in the excited state, they take up a lot of space because theyre moving around so fast. When the atoms and molecules settle down, or cool down, they take up less space. If a HOT high-energy atom comes into contact with a cool low-e

46、nergy atom, the excited atom will loose some of its energy to the cool atom. The two atoms will reach an energy level thats between where they each started out. That level is called Thermal Equilibrium. Experiment: If you have a cup of really hot chocolate and want to cool it down, you may put an ic

47、e cube in the cup. After the ice has completely melted (disappeared), the hot chocolate and the melted ice have come to Thermal Equilibrium. Now that you have an idea of what heat is, lets look at some of the effectsof this form of energy. Heres anotherexperiment. Blow up a balloon, but not all the

48、way. Put the balloon in a refrigerator for about an hour, then take it out. Did it become smaller? Why? It became smaller because the air molecules inside the balloon slowed down and are taking up less space. Now put the balloon in direct sunlight. What happened after it warmed up? Why? From the abo

49、ve experiment, we learned a very important factheat causes things to “grow”. We call this Thermal Expansion. If things “grow” when heated, what do you think happens to them when they get cold? If you get a chance to check out some railroad tracks, notice the gaps or separations between the rails. (D

50、ont get run over by a train!) Thermal expansion and contraction is why those gaps are placed there that way, and why expansion joints are placed in long highway bridges. Youve probably felt expansion joints on old concrete highways. Remember the “thumpthump” sound as you rode over them? 56. How many

51、 experiments are mentioned in the passage? A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five. 57. What is Thermal Equilibrium? A. The fact that hot atoms loose some energy to cool atoms when they meet. B. The fact that there are always the gaps or separations between the rails. C. The fact that heat causes things to

52、increase in size. D. The fact that heat is another form of energy. 58. Why is the first paragraph written? A. To explain what heat energy is.B. To sort energy forms for readers. D. To tell readers what to read here.C. To give examples of heat energy. 59. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. W

53、hy thermal expansion is on the tracks and highways. B. How to check railroad tracks and concrete highways. C. Why railroads and highways are built that way. 七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中 有一项为多余选项。有一项为多余选项。 （共（共 8 8 分，每小题分，每小题 2 2 分）分） In 1975，Junk
