小编今天给大家准备了PTE的模拟试题,希望大家可以有所收获,对PTE的了解更有收获哦!
A、The date line is necessary to
avoid a confusion that would otherwise result.
B、The same problem would arise if
two travelers journeyed in opposite directions to a point on the opposite side
of the earth, 180° of longitude distant.
C、International Date Line, imaginary
