55、r. One of the best examples of interference is shown by the light reflected from a film of oil floating on water. Another example is the thin film of a soap bubble, which reflects a series of light with beautiful colors when shined by natural or man-made light sources. Electromagnetic radiation(电磁辐射

Wh
58、en combined, all of the wavelengths present in visible light form colorless white light.

67、, which is the only source of color.(人眼对波长在400到700纳米之间的电磁辐射很敏感，通常被称为可见光光谱，这是唯一的颜色来源。)可知，颜色来源于电磁辐射。故选B项。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段第二句A lack of proper color temperature balance between the microscope light source and the image sensor is the most common reason for unexpected color shifts in photomicrography an
68、d digital imaging.(显微镜光源和图像传感器之间缺乏适当的色温平衡是造成显微摄影和数字成像中意外颜色变化的最常见原因。)可知，色移的产生主要是由于光源色温与图像传感器色温之间的失衡造成的，由此可判断，色温在物体成像的过程中扮演着很重要的角色。故选C项。【30题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段中的For example, most of ususually dont realize the events in play behind the ever-changing display of colors produced when light waves interfere with
69、 each other.可知我们大多数人通常没有意识到当光波相互干扰时，在不断变化的颜色显示背后所起的作用。根据第二段中的The human eye is sensitive to a form of electromagnetic radiation that lies in the wavelength range between 400 and 700 nanometers.which is the only source of color.可判断，颜色来源于电磁辐射。根据第三段中的A lack of proper color temperature balance between th
