Question

【題目】We live on Planet Earth, the third planet from the sun. But think about this, what if we lived on the fourth planet from the sun—Mars? Earth and Mars both belong to the solar system. There are many things about them that are the same and different. Let’s compare them and think about how different things would be if we lived on Mars.

Facts			Earth		Mars
Orbit(軌道) around the sun			Moves at about 99,999 kilometers per hour Takes 365 days to make one trip around the sun Earth always keeps the same distance from the sun		Moves at 87,226 kilometres per hour Takes 687 Earth days to make one trip around the sun Mars is not always the same distance from the sun. It is 205,996,032 kilometres from the sun when it is closest. It is 249,448,320 kilometres from the sun when it is furthest away.
Seasons	Autumn		about 90 days		146 days
	Winter		about 90 days		160 days
	Spring		about 90 days		199 days
	Summer		about 90 days		90 days
Length of Day			24 hours		24 hours, 7 minutes
Gravity		A 45-kilogram person on Earth would feel 62% lighter in weight because there is less gravity at the Martian surface. That is about 17 kilograms.
Atmosphere				21% oxygen	95% carbon dioxide – no oxygen
Number of Moons				One	Two

【答案】

【1】A

【2】A

【3】B

【4】B

【5】D

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了關(guān)于地球和火球的知識(shí)。

【1】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中Moves at about 99,999 kilometers per hour描述可知地球每小時(shí)移動(dòng)99,999公里。故答案選A。

【2】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中Takes 365 days to make one trip around the sun描述可知地球圍繞太陽轉(zhuǎn)一圈的時(shí)間是365天。故答案是A。

【3】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中Seasons一欄可以看出地球和火星在夏天都有90天。故答案選B。

【4】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中A 45-kilogram person on Earth would feel 62% lighter in weight because there is less gravity at the Martian surface.的描述可知：和地球上的人相比火星上的人感覺更輕，因?yàn)榛鹦巧系闹亓Ω�少。故答案選B。

【5】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)全文的描述，文中沒有提到地球和火星的大小。故答案選D。
