阅读下面短文，从[A](Right)、[B](Wrong)、[C](Doesn't Say)三个判断中选择一个正确选项。
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 a.m. becomes three am. Sunday will have only 23 hours. (Most people change their clocks before they go to sleep Saturday 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.

听力原文： Today about 70 countries use Daylight Savings Time(DST). Daylight Savings Time was first introduced during World War I in Australia. During the world wars, DST was used for the late summers beginning January 1917 and 1942, the full summers beginning September 1942 and 1943. In 1967, Tasmania experienced a drought. The State Government introduced one hour of daylight saving that summer as a way of saving power and water. Tasmanians liked the idea of daylight saving and the Tasmanian Government has declared daylight saving each summer since 1968. Persuaded by the Tasmanian Government, all states except two passed a Law in 1971, for a test use of daylight saving. In 1972, New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria joined Tasmania for regular daylight savings, but Queensland did not do so until 1989. Tasmania, Queensland and South Australia have had irregular plans, often changing their dates due to politics or festivals. For example, in 1992, Tasmania extended daylight savings by an extra month while South Australia began extending daylight savings by two weeks for the Adelaide Festival. Special daylight savings plans were made during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. The differences in daylight savings in Australia continue to cause serious problems in transport and many other social activities. It also reduces the number of hours in the working day that are common to all centres in the country. In particular, time differences along the east coast cause major difficulties, especially for the broadcasters of national radio and television. Questions 19 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard. 19. What was the purpose of Daylight Savings Time introduced in Tasmania？ 20. Which state was the last to use DST according to the passage？ 21. What can we learn about DST in some Australian states？ 22. What do we know about the use of DST from the passage？19．
A．Victoria.
B．Queensland.
C．South Australia.
D．New South Wales.

第7题
You can now phone almost any country in the world, although in some cases you can only call big cities. When you cannot make direct dialing calls, you can ask the international operator to help you. This is more expensive and takes more time, but it may be helpful if you want to speak to a particular person and no one else, in this case you should ask for a "person-to-person" call. Even more expensive is a reverse charge call where the person who receives the call pays. If the international line is busy, you can reserve(留下) a call, explain the number you want and the operator will call you back when the line is free.
You can save money by calling outside office hours, for example, early in the morning, late at night, and on Sundays. Remember that the time may be different in the country that you are calling. International time is based on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). London is on GMT and Moscow, for example, is 3 hours ahead. There is one problem: change to DST (Daylight Saving Time) for the summer. In the UK, clocks are put forward one hour in spring and put back in autumn, and so London is actually one hour ahead of GMT in the summer.
What is the most expensive type of call？
A．Direct dial.
B．Through the operator.
C．Reverse charge call.
D．Calling outside office hours.

Accurate Timer (精确记时器)
These days timing is everything．Between meetings and appointments, deadlines and conference calls, my schedule requires that I know the time down to the minute．Even on weekends, I have a football team to coach, shows to tape, and planes to catch．If I'm late, I'm sunk．The problem is that it's hard if my clocks aren't correct．Even the digital clocks can display time inaccurately．Dead batteries, time changes, "" any of these can cause a clock to be inaccurate．Now there is no need to worry, because advanced radio technology has produced a clock which gets the time directly from the U．S．Atomic Clock in Fort Collins, Colorado, the standard for time-keeping all over the world．The Atomic Clock by Acron is the most accurate, reliable and convenient timepiece you can have.
Every morning at 1:00 a.m, this "smart" clock in Colorado automatically resets itself to the exact hour, minute and second．The U．S．Atomic Clock is accurate to ten billionths of a second per day．This means that the clock deviates less than one second over a one-million-year period．The Atomic Clock even adjusts automatically for daylight saving time,so you don't have to remember to "spring forward" or "fall back"．The desktop clock model is the only atomic clock that will not lose time with low power or when you change its batteries.
The most accurate clock in the world is of no use if it is difficult to operate．The Acron Atomic Clock is engineered in Germany using the latest scientific technology．It comes in two styles, the wall clock and the desktop model．Both are designed to be functional and easy to use．The desk clock's display features the exact time (in hours, minutes and seconds) , month and date, or you can choose to display any two U．S．or world time zones．It weighs only eight ounces, and is the perfect travel clock．It also has dual alarms,perfect for couples．Both the desktop and the wall models have an internal antenna for good reception without unattractive wires.
