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 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock 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 nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.

【答案】

 

1.It has two meanings.

2.Yes, they are.

3.By the spinning.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇文章講述了“day”這個(gè)單詞兩個(gè)意思：有一天，也就是24個(gè)小時(shí)的意思；也有白天的意思。并向我們介紹了為什么會(huì)產(chǎn)生白天和黑夜。

1.細(xì)節(jié)題，根據(jù)文章The word “day” has two meanings.可知“day”這個(gè)單詞有兩個(gè)意思。故回答It has two meanings.

2.細(xì)節(jié)題，根據(jù)文章At the equator day and night are sometimes the same length. They are each twelve hours long.可知，在赤道，白天和黑夜的時(shí)間是一樣的，都是12個(gè)小時(shí)。故回答Yes, they are.

3.A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning of the earth.隨著地球的旋轉(zhuǎn)，一個(gè)地方總是從白天進(jìn)入黑夜，再?gòu)暮谝惯M(jìn)入白天，如此循環(huán)。故回答B(yǎng)y the spinning.
