单选题Directions:This task is the same as Task 1. The questions
or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.
The United States has many different kinds of climates. On the northwest
coast, the temperature changes very little between summer and winter, but the
north central states have a very different kind of climate. In those states,
people wear light clothes in summer, and they need heavy woolen clothes in
winter. In the southwest coast, the climate is rainy and warm
during the winter, but the summer is dry and hot. In the northeast of the United
States, summer temperatures are very different from winter temperatures. Summer
is usually hot, and winter is usually cold. Spring temperatures are warm, and
fall temperatures are cool. Years ago, people in the cold parts
of the United States didn't often get fresh vegetables and fresh fruits during
the winter. Today, however, trucks and trains carry fruits and vegetables very
quickly to all parts of the United States. In this way, Americans "send their
climates" to people in other states.
