问题     Daylight Saving Time begins on Monday, April 3, 2005. People in most parts of the United States will turn their clocks ahead one hour.
    The official(正式的) time to turn your clock ahead is early in the morning, April 3. Two am becomes three am. Sunday will have only 23 hours. (Most people change their clocks before they go to sleep Sunday night. )
    In the fall, people turn their clock back an hour. This saying helps people remember which way to turn the clock""Spring ahead; fall back. "(Spring and fall each have two meanings here. )
    We use Daylight Saving Time in order to save electricity (电). We need one less hour of light from electricity each day in the summer.
    Arizona, Hawaii, and parts of Indiana do not use Daylight Saving Time. Not every country uses Daylight Saving Time, either. Countries near the equator(赤道) have no reason to use Daylight Saving Time. Their hours of daylight and darkness are always nearly the same. There is no Daylight Saving Time in Japan, China, or India.
    Countries south of the equator have quite different seasons. They are ending their Daylight Saving Time now.
Daylight Saving Time is used in most parts of the United States.
选项 A、Right.
B、Wrong.
C、Doesn’t say.
答案A
解析 题句意为“美国大部分地方都采用夏令时”。通读短文，我们发现第一段第二句指出：People in most parts of the united States will turn their clocks ahead one hour(美国大部分地区的人都会将钟表调快一小时)，这说明美国大部分地区都采用夏令时，故题句是正确的。而短文第五段第一句又指出：Arizona，HaWall，and parts of Indiana do not use Daylight Savirlg Time(亚利桑那州、夏威夷州和印第安纳州的部分地区不用夏令时)，其意即是只有少数地方不采用夏令时，进一步说明题句是正确的。
