Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the centre.Passage OneEngland is not a big country: from north to

9、 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 make .the mistake of thinking that it is a cold and wet country. Except for th

10、e 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 a job in the north they often prefer to move down to the milder south Perhaps the warmest part of

11、 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 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

12、 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 vegetables and flowers because they are ready eartier. In winter there may be several feet of snow in other parts of England but there will

13、 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.11.

Do we have enough energy sources to

17、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. They suggest using garbage as an crier-gy source, and at the same time it can save the land to hold garbage.For a long t

18、ime, 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 fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil（

19、化石） fuels. As we use up our fossil fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source.Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that

20、 is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Pads, France , some power plants burn 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 million barrels of oil.Our fossil

Fire can heat water, warm houses, give light and cook. But fire can bum things, too. It can bum trees, houses, animals or

26、people. Sometimes big fires can bum forests.Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting stories about the first time a man or a woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope （绳子） and b

27、rought fire down.Today people know how to make a fire with matches （火柴） . Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper and then it might burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire very fast. Fire kills many people every year.

28、 So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn to put out fires. Fires need oxy-gen （氧气）. Without oxygen they will die. Cover a fire with water, sand, or sometimes with your coat. This keeps the air away from a fire and kills it. Be careful with fire, and it will help you. Be careless with fire, and it. will burn
