Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇正確答案。
D
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. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 in the morning and sets at 6 in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted(傾斜) toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere(半球) gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. 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 night. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.

【解析】本文介紹地理常識(shí)。
（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解，根據(jù)文中語(yǔ)句理解可知。當(dāng)東半球是白天時(shí)，西半球是黑夜，故選D。
（2）細(xì)節(jié)理解，根據(jù)文中語(yǔ)句“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.”理解可。晝夜的交替是由地球的自轉(zhuǎn)造成的。選C。
（3）細(xì)節(jié)理解，根據(jù)文中語(yǔ)句“At the equator（赤道）day and night are sometimes the same length（長(zhǎng)度）. They are each twelve hours long.”理解可知。赤道的晝夜長(zhǎng)度有時(shí)是一致的。選A。
（4）細(xì)節(jié)理解，根據(jù)文中語(yǔ)句“For six months the North Pole is tilted（傾斜）toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere（半球）gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere.”理解可知。當(dāng)北極點(diǎn)對(duì)向太陽(yáng)時(shí)，北極地區(qū)獲得的陽(yáng)光要多些。選B。
