P57 猜出单词white light, refract, spectrum, primary colors在文中的意思。 Newton discovered that‘white light’(in other words，colorless light from the sun) really consists of a series of colors，which are mixed together．Glass can divide，or refract，these colors．We then see them as a spectrum of seven colors：namely，red，orange，yellow，green，blue，indigo and violet． Our eyes also recognize colors which are not part of the spectrum．For instance．purple is a mixture of blue and red． Scientists have found that they can produce almost any color by mixing different amounts of red，green and blue light．(For example，when all three are mixed，they form white．)These are called the primary colours． 牛顿发现了“白色的光”( 也就是，太阳光) 是由一系列有不同色彩的光混合组成的．通过玻璃的分散，或者折射，我们能够清楚看见一个七色的光谱：就是赤、橙、红、绿、青、蓝、紫。我们的眼睛还能分辨光谱中没有出现一部分的颜色．举例说，紫罗兰光是一种由蓝色和红色光线组成的混合光 科学家已经发现，他们通过混合不同量的红色、绿色和蓝色的光线，能生产几乎任何颜色的光．( 如，当三种颜色混合的，就会形成白色的．) 这些颜色叫做三原色Answer：white colour——白炽光；refract——折射；spectrum——光谱；primary colours——三原色 Passage V?
