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 on both sides of the equator begins at the same time.
选项 A、Right.
B、Wrong.
C、Doesn’t say.
答案B
解析 题句意为“赤道两边的夏令时都始于相同的时间”。短文第五段第三句指出：Countries near the equator have no reason to use Daylight Savillg Time(赤道附近的国家无需用夏令时)。该段还指出并非所有国家都采用夏令时。题句与此意明显不符，因此是错误的。
