Answer 1

分析 文章講述的是地球上不同國(guó)家的時(shí)區(qū)差別．

解答 31．D細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)Friday is already the weekend in Egypt可知周五埃及人不用上班，故選D．
32．C細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)In the west，it is four a．m．，and everyone is asleep，but in the east it is half past eight and people are awake可知在加拿大西部，它是凌晨四點(diǎn)，每個(gè)人都睡著了，但在東部，是八點(diǎn)半，人們都醒著．即相差四個(gè)半小時(shí)，所以當(dāng)西部8：00a．m．，東部12：30，故選C．
33．A細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一欄的but in the east it is half past eight and people are awake．It is a cold Friday morning in November．和第二欄的Children are having lessons可知當(dāng)加拿大的孩子們醒來(lái)的時(shí)候，蘇格蘭的孩子們正在上課，故選B．
