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 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(倾斜) 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.6. When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having ______.A.both day and nightB.dayC.neither day nor nightD.night7. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by ______ of theearth.A.the pushingB.the pullingC.the spinningD.the passing8.

He was given the silver cup.“It isn…t rightly mine,”he said, when he was holding the cup.“It was won two year s ago when I was on holiday in…“A family was staying at my hotel at that time. Mrs Prag, the mother, was told that I played chess; and she begged me to give her young son a game. …He‟s only ten.‟she said, …I…ve been told that he plays quite well.‟“Well,as you can guess, I wasn‟t too happy. A player likes the opponent (对手) to play as well as he does. But it was holiday time and I agreed to play. We placed the board (棋盘) in the garden. The game began. I hoped it would be quick──and so it was.“Ｉsoon knew that David Prag was no learner. After ten minutes his sister came outside and began to play tennis against a wall.The boy seemed to lose interest in our game. He moved a piece (棋子) without care. I gave my attention to the board.“ …Call me when you are ready, Mr Watson,‟he said.“When I was ready?I looked up.He ha d gone off to play with his sis- ter.I studied the board──and found I was driven into corner.So it went on with David: a quick move, then tennis,back to the board,then back to his sister. My difficult condition became impossible to change. I was beaten,oh so easily,by a ten-year-old chess player.He was the wi nner── in twenty-eight minutes.“David Prag: a name to remember. I had a chance to use his game today, and it won this cup for me. To him, of course, it is only one of a hundred, or perhaps a thousa nd, winning games.”11.

To write six hundred and three, people wrote 6 3. The space was there to mean “not any” tens. Sometimes people did not remember the space. It was hard to see and to readLater people used a dot(点) to hold the space. Six hundred and three looked like this 6·3. But the dot was hard to see.So people put a circle around it like this 6⊙3. Then people could see the dot. They remembered the space.At last,only the circle around the dot was used.It was like a zero. This is one story of how the zero came to be used.Now zero has many important uses. Zero tells how many. Can you tell some other ways zero is used?根据以上短文内容,判断下列各句是(T)否(F)16. At first, zero was not used by people.17.The space between 6 and 3 was easy to see and to read.18. When people wrote eight hundred and nine, they would put a cirlewith a dot in it between 8 and 9.19. Zero came from the circle around the dot.20. Zero isn‟t useful in our life.四．补全对话。
