B.我国东北的农民种麦正忙

C.好望角西风强劲

D.新西兰18:00以后日落

答案

小题1:C

小题2:D

题目分析:

小题1:c地经度是85°E,因是昏线的中点,所以是赤道与昏线的交点,其地方时应为18时,那么北京时间应是20时20分,北京不是中午,物影不最短;悉尼约位于145°E,其地方时为约22时,已经日落;纽约位于西五区,其时间应为7时20分,正值上班高峰,所以交通流量大;伦敦的经度为0°,其地方时是12时20分,刚过中午。故选C。

小题2:因a点为5°E,那么d点为175°W,又因示为一昏线,且图示经度为东西分布,所以太阳应直射5°N,所以时间应为秋分以前或春分以后,而西伯利亚地区的河流出现凌汛现象是秋末或春初;东北种麦应为春初;好望角西风强劲应在南半球的冬季;新西兰位于南半球,昼短夜长,18:00以后日落。故选D。

The ancient Greeks made a list of places they thought people should see. This list was named the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The only one of the ancient wonders that still exists is the Great Pyramid of Giza. Pyramids were built as tombs for the leaders of Egypt called Pharaohs.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon is special because people do not know for sure if it existed. It was located on the bank of the Euphrates River.

The Statue of Zeus was built to honor the Greek god Zeus. It was made of wood and decorated with gold and ivory. Unfortunately, the statue was destroyed by a fire.

In addition to Zeus, the Greeks also built a very big statue to honor the Greek sun god, Helios. This wonder is known as the Colossus of Rhodes(罗德港巨人雕像). It is about the same size as the Statue of Liberty.

The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus(阿耳忒弥斯神庙) in what is now Turkey was built to honor the goddess of hunting, nature, and fertility. The temple was made of marble and had many bronze statues. The temple was later burned down.
