  In this paper, we obtain a relation between the high-energy absorption cross
section and the strong gravitational lensing for a static and spherically
symmetric black hole. It provides us a possible way to measure the high-energy
absorption cross section for a black hole from strong gravitational lensing
through astronomical observation. More importantly, it allows us to compute the
total energy emission rate for high-energy particles emitted from the black
hole acting as a gravitational lens. It could tell us the range of the
frequency, among which the black hole emits the most of its energy and the
gravitational waves are most likely to be observed. We also apply it to the
Janis-Newman-Winicour solution. The results suggest that we can test the cosmic
censorship hypothesis through the observation of gravitational lensing by the
weakly naked singularities acting as gravitational lenses.
