Part B
Directions: Read the following passages carefully and then
give short answers to the five questions. Write your
answers on the ANSWER SHEET 2.
The changing seasons are caused by the changing position of
the earth in relation to the sun. The seasons keep changing
because the tilt of the earth’s axis never changes while
the earth circles the sun. One way to understand this it to
picture which way the tilt of axis caused the North Pole to
slant at different times of the year.
In the Northern Hemisphere, summer begins on June 20,20 or
22, when the North Pole has its greatest slant toward the
sun. The moment at which the pole has this slant is called
the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. On the
first day of summer, the sun is high in the sky, and there
are more minutes of daylight than on any other day. Winter
begins in the Northern Hemisphere on December 21 or 22,
when the North Pole has its greatest slant away from the
sun. The moment at which the pole has this slant is known
in the Northern Hemisphere as the winter solstice. On the
first day of winters, the sun is low in the sky, and there
are fewer minutes of daylight than on any other day.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the vernal equinox(春分) marks
the beginning of spring, on march 19,20 or 21, on this day
the north Pole starts to slant toward the sun. Autumn
begins on September 22 or 23, the day of autumnal equinox,
when the pole starts to slant away from the sun. At both
equinoxes, the sun appears directly above the equator.
Places on the earth have approximately 12 hours of daylight
and 12 hours of darkness.
