21、light shining through water or clear objects. In nature, rainbows usually appear where rain and sunlight meet. Rainbows are beautiful tricks of light. Science, though, has unlocked their mysteries.Where and When Rainbows AppearNotice the weather the next time you see a rainbow. There will be rain or
22、 mist (薄雾) in front of you, and the Sun will be shining from behind you. The rainbow will appear in the rain or mist. Water in the air and direct light are the two things needed to see a rainbow in nature. A rainbow wont appear if the sky is too cloudy.The best time to see a rainbow is usually in th
23、e morning or late afternoon. Thats when the Sun is in the best place to create one. If youre lucky, you might see a double or even a triple rainbow.You can sometimes see rainbows in the mist of a waterfall, too. A fountain (喷泉) can create a small rainbow, and a sprinkler (洒水器) on a sunny day may put
24、 on a colorful show. Rainbows can even form under a bright moon. These special rainbows are called moonbows.To a viewer, a rainbow looks like a half circle. However, a rainbow actually forms a full circle. From the ground, most times we can only see a rainbows top half. Sometimes though, lucky airli
25、ne pilots may see a rainbows complete circle from the sky.How Rainbows FormRen Descartes was a French scientist. He was born over four hundred years ago. He was attracted by rainbows and wanted to learn more about them. He used sunlight and a big ball filled with water to do experiments. Descartes d
26、iscovered that to see a rainbow, the viewer must be looking at the light from the right angle(角度). To understand rainbows, it helps to understand how light travels. Light moves at different speeds through different mediums (介质). Think of running on land. Then imagine running in knee-deep water. You
27、move slower through water. In the same way, light moves faster through air than through water. This happens because water is thicker than air. When light enters water, it slows and changes its original path (路线). This process makes objects, such as a pencil sitting in a glass of water seem to bend(弯
28、曲).We can see rainbows in nature when direct light meets drops of rain. Sunlight refracts (折射) as it enters each drop. The light then reflects, or bounces, off the inside of each drop, like light off a mirror. The light refracts again as it exits the drop. Light refracts and reflects in millions of
29、water droplets in the sky at the same time. This process makes all the colors of a rainbow.22Which sentence below can best explain the underlined sentence “Rainbows are beautiful tricks of light” in Paragraph 1?ARainbows are tricks made by many scientists.BSomeone lied to us about the truth of rainb
