问题 问答题

读图,回答:

(1)写出A点的地理坐标:A______.

(2)A点位于东西半球中的______半球,B点位于南北半球中的______半球.

(3)A点位于高、中、低纬中的______纬,B点位于五带中的______带.

(4)A点位于B点的______方向.

答案

(1)根据在经纬网上,经线的度数叫做经度,若相邻两条经线的经度向东增大,就是东经,用符号E表示,若相邻两条经线的经度向西增大,就是西经,用符号W表示;纬线的度数叫纬度,若相邻两条纬线的纬度向北增大,就是北纬,用符号N表示,若相邻两条纬线的纬度向南增大,就是南纬,用符号S表示,可知,A点的地理坐标是(60°W,15°S);

(2)由南北半球分界线是赤道,以北为北半球,以南为南半球;东西半球分界线是20°W和160°E组成的经线圈,20°W以东、160°E以西为东半球,20°W以西、160°E以东为西半球,读图可知,A点位于西半球,B点位于南半球;

(3)0°~30°为低纬度地区,30°~60°为中纬度地区,60°~90°为高纬度地区;热带的纬度范围是23.5°N-23.5°S,北温带的纬度范围是23.5°N-66.5°N,北寒带的纬度范围是66.5°N-90°N,南温带的纬度范围是23.5°S-66.5°S,南寒带的纬度范围是66.5°S-90°S.故A点位于低纬,B点位于南温带;

(4)根据纬线指示东西方向,经线指示南北方向,可知,A点位于B点的西北方向.

故答案为:(1)60°W,15°S;(2)西;南;(3)低;南温;(4)西北.

单项选择题

How should one invest a sum of money in these days of inflation (通货膨胀) Left in a bank it will hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate is. Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market. Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques.
I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. "The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round people’s wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves."
Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of day according to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout the time. So it seems that the first clocks were human beings.
However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable ways of telling the time. They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun. They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hourglasses, and invented water-clocks. Indeed, any serious student of antiques should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past.
Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home. After all, if you are going to be ruled by the time, why not invest in air antique clock and perhaps make a future profit
