阅读10000句：1-10 第一部分：快速阅读能力测试篇 Passage 1 total: 148 words The word laser was coined as an acronym for Light Amplification. Ordinary light is emitted spontaneous while stimulated emission is different because it occurs when an atom or molecule is stimulated to send off lights. For many years physicists thought that atoms and molecules always were much more likely to emit light spontaneously and that stimulated emission thus always would be much weaker. It was not until after the Second World War that physicists began to seek ways by which one atom or molecule could be stimulated to emit light, amplifying it too much higher powers. The key concepts emerged in 1957. Towness and Artyur Schawlow, wrote a long paper summerizing the conditions required to amplify stimulated emission of visible light waves. Meanwhile, similar ideas crystallized in the mind of Gordon Gould, then a 37-year-old graduate student at Columbia, who wrote them down in a series of notebooks. 一、即读即练 1)多项选择 1.
