问题 单项选择题

科学家发现大洋底部的裂陷扩展从来没有停止过。这个发现可能会解答一个曾引起人们关注的问题。地球每天的时间都比前一天延长1/700秒,即每过一年,一天要延长0.5秒,据此预测,再过2亿年,一年将只有250天了。

对“一个曾引起人们关注的问题”的“解答”,最准确的是()。

A.大洋底部裂陷扩展,地球运行时间延长

B.大洋底部裂陷扩展,地球运行时间缩短

C.大洋底部裂陷扩展,地球自转速度减慢

D.大洋底部裂陷扩展,地球自转速度加快

答案

参考答案:C

解析:

地球每天的时间都比前一天延长1/700秒”是对“一个曾引起人们关注的问题”的说明,只要理解了这一句话,便可得出正确答案。地球一天即自转一周的时间,每天的时间都比前一天延长,而时间与速度成反比,时间延长,说明地球转动的速度减慢了,所以这个“人们关注的问题”就是地球自转速度减慢;因此正确答案为C。D项与C项意思相对,显然错误。材料中并未涉及“地球运行时间”的问题,故A、B两项不选。

School was over and I was both mentally and physically tired. I sat at the very front of the bus because of my   16 to get home. Sitting at the front makes you  17 out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.
Janie, the driver, tries to break the  18 atmosphere by striking the match of   194 .
I try to mind my manners and   20 listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day,   21 , her conversation was worth listening to.
“My father's sick,” she said to no one in  22 . I could see the anxiety and fear in her eyes. With a sudden change of attitude and interest, I asked,“What's wrong with him?"
With her eyes wet and her voice tight from  23 the tears, she responded,“Heart trouble.”Her eyes lowered as she  24 . “I've already lost my mum, so I don't think I can stand losing him.”
I couldn't respond. I was  25 . My heart ached for her. I sat on the old, smelly seat thinking of the great  26 my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was,   27 still is, for her. I wouldn't like anyone to go  28 that.
Suddenly I realized Janie wasn't only a bus driver. That was  29 her job. She had a whole world of family and concerns too. I had never thought of her as  30 but a driver.
I suddenly felt very  31 . I realized I had only thought of people as  32 as what their purposes were in my life. I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver. I had judged her by her job and brushed her off as  33 .
For all I know, I'm just another person in  34 else's world, and may not even be important. I  35 not have been so selfish and self-centered. Everyone has places to go, people to see and appointments (约会) to keep. Understanding people is an art.
