Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解選擇正確答案。
B
The word “day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning（旋轉(zhuǎn)）of the earth. At the equator（赤道）day and night are sometimes the same length（長度）. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o'clock in the morning and sets at 6 o'clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole（北極）is tilted（傾斜）toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere（半球）gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere（半球）. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.

A.both day and night

（3）A
（4）B
【解析】短文大意：day這個單詞有兩層含義，當我們談?wù)撘荒曛杏卸嗌偬鞎r，我們用“天”表示24小時，但是當我們談到“白天”和“夜晚”時，我們用“天”表示日出和日落之間的時間。
（1）細節(jié)推理題，根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. 當?shù)厍虻囊话胧前滋鞎r，另一半?yún)s是夜晚，可以推斷“當西半球是白天時，東半球是夜晚”，故選D。
（2）細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning（旋轉(zhuǎn)）of the earth. 可知選C。
（3）細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)At the equator（赤道）day and night are sometimes the same length（長度）. 可知在赤道，有時白天和夜晚一樣長，故選A。
（4）細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)For six months the North Pole（北極）is tilted（傾斜）toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere（半球）gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere（半球）. 可知當北半球向太陽傾斜時，北半球的光照時間比南半球長，故選B。
