The moons pull causes water in the oceans to be a little deeper at a p
20、oint closest to the moon and also at a point farthest from the moon, on the opposite side of the earth. These two tidal“waves”follow the apparent movement of the moon around the earth and strike nearly every coast line at intervals of about twelve hours and twenty-five minutes. After reaching a high
21、 point, the water level goes down gradually for a little more than six hours and then begins to rise toward a new high point. Hence, most coast lines have two tides a day, and the tides occur fifty minutes later each day. Differences in the coast line and in channels in the ocean bottom may change t
22、he time that the tidal wave reaches different points along the same coast line. The difference in water level between high and low tide varies from day to day according to the relative positions of the sun and the moon. The sun also exerts a pull on the earth, although it is only about haft as stron
23、g as the pull of the tides arise higher and when they pull at right angles to one another. the tide is lower. The formation of the coast line and variations in the weather are additional factors which can affect the height of tides. Some sections of the coast are shaped in such a way as to cause muc
24、h higher tides than are experienced in other areas. A strong wind blowing toward the shore may also cause tides to the higher. 26 Which of the following is right according to the passage?（A）Some coast lines do not have two tides each day.（B） Tides are not affected by the shape of coast line.（C） The
25、sun has as much effect on tides as does the moon.（D）Tides usually rise to the same land day after day.27 The time that high tide occurs at a particular place is affected by all of the following EXCEPT_.（A）the direction of the wind（B） channels in the sea bottom（C） variations in the coast line（D）the p
26、osition of the moon28 Which of the following is an accurate statement about the pull of the sun on the earth?（A）It is about twice the pull of the moon.（B） It determines the time of high tide.（C） It determines the time of low tide.（D）It is about half the pull of the moon.29 The height of the tide is
27、affected by all of the following EXCEPT_.（A）the position of the sun（B） channels in the sea bottom（C） the direction of the wind（D）variations in the coast line30 Tides would_if the pull of the moon equaled the pull of the sun.（A）be the same height as they are now（B） be of equal height all the time（C）
28、sometimes be higher than they are now（D）no longer be affected by the wind30 During the Christmas shopping rush in London, a story was reported of a tramp(流浪者)who, apparently no fault of his own, found himself locked in a well. known chain store late on Christmas Eve.
