For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and ma
15、rk 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 hundred miles across. (76) But for a small country it has a surprising range of climate. People who have never visi
16、ted 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 true of the north of England and the Midlands. In the south, however, the climate is much more pleasant. One
17、 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 counties of Devon and Cornwall. The warm Gulf Stream flows across the North Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of M
18、exico 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 ripen(成熟 ) as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere. Farmers in the area obtain a higher price for their
19、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. This may be one of the reasons why the southwest is one of Englands most popular holiday areas. 16 The distanc
20、e 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 _. （ A） with a cold and wet climate （ B） with a surprising climate （ C） with a pleasant climate （ D） with a vari

Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs? These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some
24、 people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the some time it can save the land to hold garbage. For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped(倾倒 ) it on empty land Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more
25、 garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fu el to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil(化石 ) fuels. As we use up our fossil fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source.
26、 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. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some powe
27、r plants bum almost 2 million metric tons of the cities garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half mil lion barrels of oil. Our fossil fuel supplies are limited (79) Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can u
28、se to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth. 21 What two problems can man solve by burning garbage? （ A） The shortage of energy and air pollution. （ B） The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbage. （ C） Air pollution and the sho
