关于时区你了解多少?快去短文中一探究竟吧!
What is a time zone? A time zone is one area with its own time. And there are twenty-four time zones in the world. Here is a chart about the time of different places in November.
| Place | Beijing, China | London, UK | New York, USA | Tokyo, Japan | Paris, France |
|-------|----------------|------------|---------------|--------------|---------------|
| Time | 4 p.m. | 8 a.m. | 3 a.m. | 5 p.m. | 9 a.m. |

Can people change the time?
Yes. In the UK, people use British Summer Time and they change their clocks twice a year. In March, they put the clocks forwards by one hour. This gives more hours of daylight in the evenings. In October, they put the clocks back by one hour. This means people get one more hour to sleep. British Summer Time helps people make full use of daylight.

答案

They are probably sleeping/having breakfast/doing exercise.(开放性试题,答案不唯一)

解析

【分析】
这道题是结合时区知识的阅读理解推理题,解题思路如下:①先从表格中找到北京的时间为4 p.m.,明确北京与纽约的时区差(北京东八区,纽约西五区,时差13小时);②计算北京吃晚餐时对应的纽约时间:4 p.m.减去13小时,得到纽约此时为凌晨3点左右;③根据凌晨的时间合理推断纽约人的活动,本题为开放性试题,答案不唯一,只要符合时间对应的活动即可。
【解析】
首先,从表格中可知北京的时间为4 p.m.,北京位于东八区,纽约位于西五区,两地时差为13小时。当在北京吃晚餐时,对应的纽约时间为:4 p.m. -13小时=3 a.m.,即纽约此时是凌晨3点左右。因此纽约人可能在睡觉、吃早餐或做晨练等,答案具有开放性。
【答案】
They are probably sleeping/having breakfast/doing exercise.(开放性试题,答案不唯一)
【知识点】
时区计算、阅读理解推理
【点评】
本题将时区知识与阅读理解的推理能力结合,需要学生先提取表格信息,再结合时区差计算对应时间,合理推断活动,难度适中,属于开放性试题,鼓励学生结合生活实际作答。
