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 tree 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 semitropical ( 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 maybe 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.

The distance from the centre of England to the south coast is about__________.

A.one hundred miles

B.three hundred miles

C.one hundred and fifty miles

D.six hundred miles

12、 England is a Country__________.

A.with a cold and wet climate

B.with a surprising climate

C.with a pleasant climate

D.with a variety of climates

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

14、 In the north of England and the Midlands, __________.

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 or wet

Traditionally,universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching. Many expertswould argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving thecommunity. The fundamental question, however, is how does the community want orneed to be served?

University teachershave been encouraged, and in some casesconstrained (强迫),to provide more cofrses which produce graduates with the technical skills requiredfor the commercial use. If Aristotle wanted to work in a university in the UKtoday, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would notbe so readily employable asa philosopher.

A post-industrialsociety requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, managers andtechnicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but "man", asthe Bible says, "does not live by bread alone. " Apart from requiringmedical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economicgrowth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts.Because they can also promote economic growth.

It was not much fun to travel on one of the old sailing ships. Life was hard for both passengers and crew. 17th century sailing ships were small and rolled heavily in rough seas, so most of the passengers were seasick.

There were no toilets, and the spaces below deck where passengers had to stay during gales were often not more than 5 foot high. Water was scarce and the little water they got was brown and smelt terrible.

Food was a problem, too there was only salted meat, ship' s biscuits and cheese, but the cheese was so hard that sailors often made buttons out of it for their jackets and trousers. There were no vegetables or fruit, so the people on board often fell ill.

The sailors, however, were a bit better off than the passengers. They each had a bottle of beer a day, and they needed. The work they had to do was hard and dangerous. Courage was needed, for the heavy sails had to be set and taken down in all kinds of weather, and quite often sailors were swept overboard in a gale. Almost the worst thing about the voyages was the time they took up to 70 days for the journey across the Atlantic. Not surprisingly, everybody was overjoyed when they at last approached land and stepped ashore. But some ships never arrived.

29、 The working condition of the sailors was very hard.
