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
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 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
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
Passage Four
As one approaches some crossroads, **es to a sign which says that drivers have to stop when **e 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 **ing 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 **ing, and then drove across without **pletely.

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 **pared 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? A. Pneumonia. B. Brain infection. C. Over-population. D. Over-eating.
2. Why might the increasing number of whales cause problems with their health? A. There\"s not enough room for them in Alaska.

D. There are more whales to spread disease.
3. One reason it is difficult to know why the whales are dying is that ______. 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 D. the whales are endangered
4. About how many more whales have been sighted in the San Francisco Bay this **pared to last year?
