解析試題分析：本文介紹了世界時區(qū)的有趣的事情。
【小題1】C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段2,3行The time difference between two zones is one hour. You can have days with more than twenty-four hours and days with fewer than twenty- four hours說明時間的變化是最有趣的事情，故C正確。
【小題2】B 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第一段第2行The time difference between two zones is one hour說明兩個時區(qū)之間隔一小時，故B正確。
【小題3】B 推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一句If you travel east, today becomes yesterday, if you travel west it is tomorrow.如果你向東，今天變昨天，故5號就變成了4號，故B正確。
考點(diǎn)：考查地理知識類短文
點(diǎn)評：本文講述的是時區(qū)的事情，考查細(xì)節(jié)題較多，答題時在文章找到對應(yīng)的地方，用筆進(jìn)行標(biāo)記，這有利于后期有時間檢查時可以立刻找到答案的位置。仔細(xì)理解作者所講的意思，再結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，通過排除法和自己對全文的把握，選出正確答案。
