But for a small country it has a surprising range of climate. People who
29、 have never visited England or who have visited only one part of it often makes the mistake of thinking that it is a cold and wet country. Except for the summer months of June to September, this is probably true of the north of England and the Midlands. In the south, however, the climate is much mor
30、e pleasant. One result is that when people retire from the job in the north, they often prefer to move down to the south.Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the southwest, which consists of (is made up of) the counties of Devon and Cornwall, where palm trees, bamboo and many semitropical plan
31、ts grow well. Flowers and vegetables ripen as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere. Farmers in the areas gain a higher price for their vegetables and flowers because they are ready earlier.

32、ow at all in the southwest.

35、er, people in Devon and Cornwall, _.A. never see any snow B. seldom see snowC. often see snow D. may have seen several feet of snow（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.八、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.00)As one approaches some crossroads, one comes to a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main roa
36、d ahead. At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop (unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road); and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.Mr. Williams, who was alwa

38、so he pulled in to the side of the road and stopped.

43、ks. No one knows why the whales are dying.Last year 270 whales died along the whales migration route. Many people think starvation is the cause. This year the dead whales seem to have more blubber (fat) on them.Twenty years ago, the gray whale was listed as an endangered species.Some scientists thin
44、k that the larger number of whales makes it hard to find enough food.
