Passage Three
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 it has a surprising range of climate. People who 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 more 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 plants 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. 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.

1. The distance from the center of England to south coast is about ______.

A.one hundred miles
B.three hundred miles
C.one hundred and fifty miles
D.six hundred miles

A B C D

第一段中写到从南到北、从东到西大约是300多英里，因此本题中从英格兰中部到南海岸应该是300英里的一半，150英里。

2. According to the passage, ______.

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 a higher price for vegetables and flowers
D.vegetables in Cornwall ripen as much as a month earlier than flowers

A B C D

由第二段可知。

3. In the north of England and the Midland, ______.

A.it is cold and wet all the year round
B.the climate is pleasant as a whole
C.it is warm most of the time in a year
D.only the summer is not cold and wet

A B C D

由第一段可知：从未到过或只到过英格兰部分地区的人误以为英国是个寒冷潮湿的国家，实际上在英格兰北部和中部诸郡从6月到9月确实如此，而英格兰南部的气候却非常舒适。

4. In winter, people in Devon and Cornwall, ______.

A.never see any snow
B.seldom see snow
C.often see snow
D.may have seen several feet of snow

A B C D

由第二段可知，Devon和Cornwall在英格兰西南部。在西南部冬季不下雪。

Passage Four
As one approaches some crossroads, one comes to a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road 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 always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroads. It had a "Slow" sign, so he slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.
At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled in to the side of the road and stopped. A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and pencil in his hand and said, "You didn't stop at the crossing."
"But the sign there doesn't say 'Stop'," answered Mr Williams. "It just says 'Slow', and I did go slow."
The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pencil away, scratched his head and said, "Well, I'll be blowed! I am in the wrong street!"

1. At a crossroads, you reduce your car's speed when ______.

A.there is s stop sign
B.there is a slow sign
C.you are on the main road
D.you are on the crossroad

第一段以及通篇。这篇小故事讲的就是开车司机在进入主路时见停车标志要停车，看见减速标志要降低速度开慢车。故事中的情景是有的路段是停车标志，而有的路段是减速标志，这才有故事的发生。

2. When Mr Williams heard the police whistle ______.

A.he sped up and disappeared
B.he was scared and stopped his car
C.he ignored the whistle and went on driving
D.he stopped the car at one side of the road

A B C D

第三段。他一听到警察吹口哨立即将车停靠在路边，但文中并未提及他是否被吓着了。

3. The police stopped Mr Williams because ______.

A.there was a stop sign that Mr Williams ignored
B.the police was not sure whether Mr Williams had a driving license
C.the police thought that he was at a different crossroads with a stop sign on it
D.there was a slow sign that Mr Williams ignored

A B C D

最后两段。警察站错了路口，以为自己站的路口的标志应该是停车标志而非减速标志。所以，当司机在路口没有停车时，警察以为司机违反了交通规则，责令他停车。

4. The sentence "Well, I'll be blowed" shows the feeling of ______.

A.sadness
B.happiness
C.frustration
D.annoyance

A B C D

根据上下文可以断定，当警察发现是自己的错而不是司机的错时，他一定很恼火。“Well，I’ll be blowed”是口语，表示惊奇、生气、烦恼等。

Passage Five
Every year gray whales migrate from the Bering Sea in Alaska to the Baja Peninsula in Mexico.
Eleven gray whales have died in the San Francisco Bay in the last three weeks. 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 think that the larger number of whales makes it hard to find enough food. More whales create more pressure on the food supply, a supply that some scientists say may have dwindled as a result of the warm waters of E1 Nino.
Most of the whales have been dead for many days before they are found and studied. This makes it hard to find the reason for death.
65 whales have been seen in the San Francisco Bay Area this year compared to 17 last year. The whales could be dying from many diseases, but it may be over-population.

1. Which of the following is NOT a possible reason for whales dying?

B.Brain infection.
C.Over-population.
D.Over-eating.

参见第五段。作者特别提到由于鲸鱼的数量巨大，它们很可能没有足够的食物。因此，过量饮食是不可能的。由于人们还没有真正弄清楚鲸鱼的死因，那么，任何其他的原因都是可能的。

B.There may not be enough food for them in Alaska.
C.They get pushed ashore.
D.There are more whales to spread disease.

A.the whales travel such a long distance
B.there are more whales than there used to be
C.the whale bodies are too old to study by the time they are found

A B C D

A.Twice as many.
B.Three times as many.
C.Half as many.
D.About the same.
