简述地球形状和大小的地理意义

答案

参考答案:

在研究地球形状的地理意义时,可略去地球几何形状和真实形状之间的差异,而把它当作是一个正球体。

地球是一个不透明的球体,因接受同一光源(太阳)的照射,而形成半球性的白昼和黑夜。

地球与太阳之间的距离很远,可以把照射到地球上的太阳光线视作平行光线。当平行光线照射到球形地表时,在同一时刻,不同地点将具有不同的太阳高度。黄赤交角的存在,决定了这种高度有规律地从地球直射点向两极减小,在自转的地球上,就造成热量分布的纬度差异,从而引起地表上一切与热量有直接或间接关系的现象和过程,均具有纬向地带性。

地球的巨大体积(约为1万亿km3,质量为5.98×1021t),使它具有强大的地心引力吸引周围的气体,保持着一个具有一定质量和厚度的大气圈。有了大气圈,才能保住水圈,形成生物圈。

地球的大小,对于人类的经济活动也有影响。一方面,远距离和广大空间,曾经是人类活动的障碍,为了克服这种障碍,就必须运用最完美的技术成就;另一方面,地球的广阔面积,给人类提供—个辽阔的活动场所。

In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited. About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的). No one had told them about the British custom (习惯)of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .

Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty. In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'— a nod means ‘no’. At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up. If you think that you have had enough, you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.

In Europe it’s quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble. Also, you should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an adult ——it's just not done in Thailand .
