England is not a big country: from north to south and from east to west it is only about three hundred miles across. But for a small country[20]it has a surprisingly wide range of climates. People who have never visited England or who have visited only part of it often make the mistake that it is a very 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 result is that when people retire from their work 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 the counties of Devon and Cornwall, where palm trees, bamboo and many semitropical plants grow well.[21]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. 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 England’s most popular holiday areas.
19. What’s the distance from the centre of England to the south coast?
20. What do we learn about the climate of England?
21. What does the speaker say about the southwest of England?
选项
A、Flowers and vegetables from Devon are on the market one month earlier.
B、Farmers in the southwest grow as many vegetables and flowers as farmers elsewhere.
C、People in the southwest have to pay higher price for vegetables and flowers.
D、Vegetables in Cornwall ripen as much as a month earlier than flowers.
答案
A
解析
本题考查对细节的记忆与理解。长句子要在听到主语后将谓语、宾语或表语与原文进行对比,能够匹配的往往是答案。本题选A。C说的是西南地区的英国人不得不支付更高的价格(pay a higher price)来购买蔬菜和花,而录音中提到的是他们的蔬菜和花可以卖到更高的价格(gain a higher price),C与录音不符;关于蔬菜和花在不同地区的种植数量是否有差异(即B)以及蔬菜比花早成熟一个月(即D),录音均未提及,故可排除这两项。
