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.
England is a country______.
选项 A、with a cold and wet climate
B、with a surprising climate
C、with a pleasant climate
D、with a variety of climates
答案D
解析 文中第一段介绍说，英格兰虽是个小地方，但有着令人惊奇的气候分布，它的北部和中部一年中除了夏季的7月至9月这几个月外，大部分时间都是又湿又冷，但南部地区气候却很宜人。由此我们可以得知，英格兰是一个气候多样的地方。因此选项D正确。选项A“有着又湿又冷的气候”，这只是北部和中部的部分气候特征；选项B“有着令人惊奇的气候”，不是气候令人惊奇，而是多样的气候分布令人惊奇；选项C“有着宜人的气候”，这只是南部的气候特征。
