Question

【题目】根据短文理解选择正确答案。
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（旋转）of the earth. At the equator（赤道）day and night are sometimes the same length（长度）. 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（北极）is tilted（倾斜）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.
（1）When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having ______.
A.both day and night

【解析】短文大意：day这个单词有两层含义，当我们谈论一年中有多少天时，我们用“天”表示24小时，但是当我们谈到“白天”和“夜晚”时，我们用“天”表示日出和日落之间的时间。
（1）细节推理题，根据文章内容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. 当地球的一半是白天时，另一半却是夜晚，可以推断“当西半球是白天时，东半球是夜晚”，故选D。
（2）细节理解题，根据文章内容A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning（旋转）of the earth. 可知选C。
（3）细节理解题，根据At the equator（赤道）day and night are sometimes the same length（长度）. 可知在赤道，有时白天和夜晚一样长，故选A。
（4）细节理解题，根据For six months the North Pole（北极）is tilted（倾斜）toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere（半球）gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere（半球）. 可知当北半球向太阳倾斜时，北半球的光照时间比南半球长，故选B。
