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. (76) 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. (77) 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 事实细节题。第二段第四句提到西南部的蔬菜和鲜花要比别处的早一个月，所以A对；但文章只提到了蔬菜和鲜花早熟的问题，并未提到种植多少的问题，所以B文章没有提及，我们无从知道；文章第二段第五句提到西南部农民们可以卖出更高的价格，而不是付出更高的价格，所以C不对；文章是将西南部的蔬菜和鲜花和别处的相比，而不是将西南部的蔬菜和西南部的鲜花相比，所以D文章也未提到。所以选A。
