Question

The United States is one of the greatest fruit-growing countries in the world. Fine red apples come from Washington and New York. Golden oranges come from Southern California and Florida. Fruit grows in all parts of America. The kind of fruit that is grown depends on the weather in each place.

Orange trees cannot be grown where temperatures drop below freezing. Southern California and Florida are far from each other, but their weather is much the same. They do not often have freezing temperatures.

In Washington, apple trees are planted near the Atlantic Ocean. In New York, they grow near the Great Lakes. Apple trees are often planted near water. Water temperature changes more slowly than land temperature. Near water, temperature does not drop so fast. There is less chance of frost（霜凍）in late spring or early autumn. Frost can kill apples.

【解析】

試題分析：這是一篇介紹美國(guó)各地的不同水果的情況，主要介紹了橘子、蘋(píng)果等水果應(yīng)種植在不同的地方，美國(guó)地域遼闊，各地的氣候不同，水果的種類也因此不同，說(shuō)明沒(méi)有擁有最多的水果種類。

1.歸納推理題。通讀全文可知美國(guó)有各種各樣的天氣和各種各樣的土壤，因此同樣的水果可在不同的地區(qū)種植。故選C。

2.歸納概括題。通讀全文，特別是第二、三段的不同水果的不同種植地方說(shuō)明不同的水果應(yīng)種植在氣候不同的地方，故選B。

3.綜合推斷題。通讀全文，水果因?yàn)樘鞖�、土壤的不同而種植的水果不同，因此我們所吃的水果應(yīng)來(lái)自不同的地區(qū)，故選A。

考點(diǎn)：說(shuō)明類短文閱讀。
