A.LaredoisveryhotB.AmericaisverybigC.TexasisverybigD.TexasisfarfromAlaska -2-\n【答案与解析】这篇文章的大意是：阿拉斯加成为美国的第四十九个州之前，得克萨斯州是美国最大的州。在这个州不同的地区，天气差异很大。文中提到了夏季最热的城市Laredo和冬季很冷的北方城市Amarillo。 1.B。根据文章的首句“Texaswasthebiggeststate(州)beforeAlaskabecametheforty-ninthstatein1959.”可以找到答案。而实际上其它三处选项都有明显的错误。 2.C.由短文第一段的大意，尤其是“Differentpartsofthestatehaveverydifferentkindsofweather.”一句。再由“IfanyoneasksyouabouttheweatherinTexas,askhim,WhatpartofTexasdoyoumean？”最后的这句话，可知Laredo，Amarillo是的两个地方。故Texas包括Laredo和Amarillo。又根据“…whichisanortherncity.”这句话可知应在的北方。故答案为C。 3.C。这由文中介绍Laredo，Amarillo这两个城市的气候可以得出。-2-
