Texas was the biggest state before Alaska became the forty-ninth state in 1959. Texas is smaller than Alaska, but it is much bigger than the other states. One good way to understand the size of Texas is to learn about its weather. Different parts of the state have very different kinds of weather.
   Laredo, Texas, is one of the hottest cities in the United States in summer. The best time to visit Laredo is in winter, when it is pleasantly warm.
   Amarillo gets very cold in winter. Sometimes there is more snow in Amarillo than in New York, which is a northern city. Summers are better, but sometimes it gets quite hot. The best time to visit Amarillo is in the autumn when it is cool.
   If anyone asks you about the weather in Texas, ask him, "What part of Texas do you mean?"
Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.
9. Which of the following statements is correct in describing the size of Texas?
10. Which of the following statements is correct about the weather in Texas?
11. If you were going to travel in Texas, how would you plan your tour to enjoy nice weather everywhere you went?
选项 A、Texas is the largest state in the US.
B、Texas is the second largest state in the US.
C、Texas ranks the forty-ninth in terms of the size.
D、Texas is smaller than Alaska, but it is a little bigger than many other states in the US.
答案 B
解析 推断题。由Texas was the biggest state before Alaska became the forty-ninth state in 1959．可知在1959年阿拉斯加州成为美国第49个州之后，得克萨斯州退居次席，成为美国第二大州，因此答案是B。
