问题     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 make 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 a job in the north they often prefer to move down to the milder south.
    Perhaps the warmest part of 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 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 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.
In winter, people in Devon and Cornwall______.
选项 A、seldom see snow
B、never see any snow
C、may have several feet of snow
D、often see snow
答案A
解析 文中第二段倒数第二句说：“冬天在英格兰的其他地方也许会出现几英尺厚的雪，但在西南部地区很可能完全没有雪。”由此我们可知，位于英格兰西南的Devon和Cornwall两地在冬天很少能看见雪。因此选项A正确。选项B“从来没有看见过雪”，文中说很可能完全没有雪，不等于从来没有看见过雪；选项C“也许有几英尺的雪”；选项D“时常看见雪”；均不符合文中内容。
