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.
According to the passage, ______.
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 a higher price for vegetables and flowers
D、vegetables in Cornwall ripen as much as a month earlier than flowers
答案
A
解析
文中第二段第四句说:“在英格兰的西南部鲜花和蔬菜比别的地区早一个月成熟。这个地区的农民因他们的蔬菜和鲜花的价格较高而受益,因为他们收获得早些。”由此我们可以得知,Devon市场上鲜花和蔬菜必然比别的地区早一个月上市,那里的农民因此能卖上高价钱。所以选项A正确。
