问题描述:

Strange thing happens to time when you travel. Because the earth is divided into twenty-four time zones one hour apart, you can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.
If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes the hour. Traveling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours.
If you travel by ship across the Pacific you cross the international date line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar the full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday; traveling west, it is tomorrow!

问题解答:

我来补答
关于地理上的 国际日期变更线(the International Date Line) 小小的解释片段.
选项:26-30:B C D C A
我不确定是否正确,尤其30.只是我个人的答案.
短文的翻译:当你旅行的时候会发生奇怪的事情.地球被划分为24个时区,时区与时区间相差一小时.因为这个,你的一天可能变成25个小时或者23个小时,你的一周可能就多于或者少于7天.
如果你花五天时间穿过大西洋,你的船每天进入一个不同的时区.你进入每个时区,时间也相应的有小时的变化.向西行,你得将时钟往后拨,向东行,你应将时钟往前调整.你旅行的每一天不是25小时就是23小时.
如果你乘游轮穿过太平洋,你会越过国际日起变更线.国际协议规定,这是新的一天开始的地方.当你跨过这条线,你的日历会产生一天时间的更改,倒退一天或者前进一天.向东行,今天变成了昨天,向西行,今天变成了明天.
理解了短文的意思,你再考虑一下,自己做一下题目.仍然希望我做的是最佳答案.
