13、ts. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 15 England is not a big country: from north to south and from east to west it is only about three hundre
14、d miles across. (76) But for a small country it has a surprising range of climate. People who have never visited England, or who have visited only one part of it, often make the mistake of thinking that it is a cold and wet country. Except for the summer months of June to September, this is probably
15、 true of the north of England and the Midlands. In the south, however, the climate is much more pleasant. One result is that when people retire from a job in the north they often prefer to move down to the milder south. Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the southwest, which consists of the
16、counties of Devon and Cornwall. The warm Gulf Stream flows across the North Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico and makes the coastal regions of the southwest quite warm. Palm trees, bamboo (竹 ) and many semi-tropical (亚热带的 ) plants grow well in the southwest of England Flowers and vegetables rip
17、en(成熟 ) as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere. Farmers in the area obtain a higher price for their vegetables and flowers because they are ready earlier. (77) In winter there may be several feet of snow in other parts of England but there will probably be no snow at all in the southwest. T
18、his may be one of the reasons why the southwest is one of Englands most popular holiday areas. 16 The distance from the center of England to the south coast is about _. （ A） one hundred miles （ B） three hundred miles （ C） one hundred and fifty miles （ D） six hundred miles 17 England is a country _.

22、es to meet our future energy needs? These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time.

23、long time, people buried garbage or dumped(倾倒 ) it on empty land Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fu el to use.

Burning garbage is not a new idea Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. (78) The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. Th
