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 of 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!
From this selection, it seems true that the Atlantic Ocean______.

选项 A、is in one time zone
B、cannot be crossed in five days
C、is divided into five time zones
D、is divided into twenty-four zones

答案C

解析 判断题。根据第二段段首一句If you make a five—day trip across the Atlantic ocean,your ship enters a different time zone every day.,“横渡大西洋做五天的旅行”,段落末尾又说“每一天你的旅行不是二十四小时,就是二十五小时”。由此可以判断大西洋跨五个时区。
