问题     Strange things happen to time when you travel, because the earth is divided into twenty four time zones, one hour apart. You can have days with more 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 one 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 one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday, traveling west, it is tomorrow!
The International Date Line is the name for________.
选项 A、any time zone in the Pacific Ocean
B、any point where time changes by one hour
C、the point where a new day begins
D、the beginning of any new time zone
答案C
解析 根据最后一段第一二句“…this is the point where a new day begins. ”可得答案。
