Now that man has actually landed on the surface of the moon, he has learned many new things about it. But one thing man knew before he ever reached the moon was that there was no life on it.
There is no atmosphere (大气层) on the moon. The lack of air means that the moon is not protected from any of the sun’ s rays. The sun sends out heat and light radiation (辐射). Life on earth depends on heat and light. But the sun also sends out dangerous kinds of radiation. The earth’ s atmosphere protects us from most of them. On the moon, however, there is no atmosphere to stop the radiation. All the sun’ s rays beat down on the surface of the moon.
Because there is no atmosphere, the moon’ s surface is either extremely hot or extremely cold. As the moon circles around the earth, the side of it that is lighted up by the sun becomes very hot. The temperature there reaches more than 300 degrees Fahrenheit (华氏温度). This is hotter than boiling water. The hot lunar day lasts two weeks. It is followed by a night that is also two weeks long. At night the temperature drops to 260 degrees below zero. This is more than twice as cold as temperatures reached at the earth’ s South Pole. Under these conditions, no form of life that we know of here on earth could exist on the moon.
How cold can it be on the earth’ s South Pole?
选项
A、520 degrees below zero.
B、260 degrees below zero.
C、130 degrees below zero.
D、75 degrees below zero.
答案
D
解析
推理题。题干意为“在地球上的南极有多冷”。从文章的最后一段第倒数第二句话This is more than twice as cold as temperatures reached at the earth’s South Pole. 可知,月球上的温度冷的时候比地球上的南极还低两倍多,即是说这一温度数值是地球温度数值的三倍。经过简单计算选项中与此最接近的是华氏-75度。所以本题的正确答案为D。
