二、根据短文内容,回答下列问题。
Let’s Learn About Time Zones
Can you imagine (想象) what the world would be like if everywhere had the same time? It would be really strange! Let’s learn about time zones in an easy way.
What are time zones?
Time zones are like big pieces that divide (分割) the Earth into different parts. Each part follows its own clock time. This helps people know when to get up, have lunch, or go to bed.
Why do we need time zones?
The Earth is just like a big ball. It rotates (旋转) once on its axis every 24 hours. Only one side of the Earth faces the sun at a time. When it’s daytime in China, on the other side of the world like in America, it’s night and it’s dark outside.
How can we know our time zones?
You can look at a special map to see which time zone you’re in. For example, everyone in China uses Beijing Time. In London, people use a time called GMT or BST. When it’s 12:00 noon in London (GMT), it’s 20:00 in Beijing. This shows that Beijing Time is 8 hours ahead of London Time (GMT).
So, next time you check the clock, remember: different time, one world!
1. According to the passage, what helps people know when to get up, have lunch, or go to bed?

2. If it’s midnight in China, what time is it in America?

3. What do people in London call their time zone?

4. If it is 10:00 in the morning in London (GMT), what time is it in Beijing?

1. Time zones (the setup that divides the Earth into different parts and each part follows its own clock time) helps people know when to get up, have lunch, or go to bed.
2. It's daytime and around noon in America.
3. People in London call their time zone GMT or BST.
4. It's 18:00 (6 o'clock in the afternoon) in Beijing.

【分析】本题为英语阅读理解细节题，解题思路为：先通读短文把握核心内容，再针对每个问题的关键词，定位到原文对应段落，提取关键信息作答；涉及时间计算的题目，需先找到时间差，再进行简单推算。
【解析】1. 定位到原文“What are time zones?”段落最后一句“This helps people know when to get up, have lunch, or go to bed.”，句中“this”指代前文的“time zones”，据此得出答案；2. 定位到原文“Why do we need time zones?”段落，根据“中国白天时美国是夜晚”可知中美昼夜相反，故中国午夜时美国为白天；3. 定位到原文“How can we know our time zones?”段落中“In London, people use a time called GMT or BST.”，提取关键信息；4. 定位到该段落中“北京比伦敦时间早8小时”的信息，计算得伦敦10:00时，北京时间为10:00+8小时=18:00。
【答案】1. Time zones (the setup that divides the Earth into different parts and each part follows its own clock time) helps people know when to get up, have lunch, or go to bed.
2. It's daytime and around noon in America.
3. People in London call their time zone GMT or BST.
4. It's 18:00 (6 o'clock in the afternoon) in Beijing.
