16．（4.5分）China covers large areas and has a great population.Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country.Recently，another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one：the way people shop at the market.
People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals.It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage，two potatoes and 0.25 kilogram of beef at a time.
However，one may feel trouble if he does this in the north.Instead，buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual.Alsoyou can buy a small amount of fruits，such as a single apple or pear，each time in the south.Shopkeepers even help you peel and cut them.But many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes in the north
The difference could be formed mainly due to the different weather.Food can be kept for a long time in the north，as it is usually cold and dry there.Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food，especially for the long winter.But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern.
Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day，or else the food may go bad.

（1）What may southern Chinese buy at the market？ 　 　
A.A box of apples.
B.Three kilos of meat.
C.Three pears.
D.Four kilos of bananas.
（2）What does the underlined word "amount" mean in Chinese？ 　 　
A.个头.
B.包装.
C.数量.
D.型号.
（3）What causes the difference？ 　 　
A.Different ideas.
B.Different hobbies.
C.Different cultures.
D.Different weather.
17．（6分）Look up into a clear night sky，and we may see some small green and white lights flash slowly followed by a burst of sound.
That may be a plane flying above us.Although the sky is very wide，a plane gets into an accident with another easily.To avoid this，the pilot must always notice everything in the space around the plane to make sure if there are other planes nearby.
The green and white lights on the plane are navigation（ 导航 ）lights which are used to help other pilots see the plane.The light on the left wing is red，the light on the right wing is green and a bright white one sits on the tail.When a plane flies in the evening，it must use its navigation lights.A pilot can tell which direction the plane is going in with the help of a plane's navigation lights.If a pilot sees all the three lights，the plane is in front heading away from his plane，and there's no danger of collision（ 碰撞）.Which direction is the plane flying to if a pilot can only see a red or a green light？It is crossing the pilots field of vision，and the two planes won't collide.When should a pilot take action to avoid an accident？He should take action when he catches sight both the green and red lights.In this situation，the plane is heading towards him.
During foggy weather，navigation lights alone are not enough，and the pilot must also depend on plane radar（ 雷达）to show the directions and distances of other planes.According to the radar's continuous（ 连续的）radio waves，the pilot can change the plane's flight path to avoid collision.

（1）What does the underlined word"this"refer to？ 　 　
A.A plane is flying above you.
B.Make sure if there are planes nearby.
C.A plane gets into an accident.
D.The pilot takes action to avoid an accident.
（2）Which paragraph shows us the colors and positions of the plane's navigation lights？ 　 　
A Paragraph 2.
B.Paragraph 3.
C.Paragraph 4.
D.Paragraph 5.
（3）When should the pilot take action to avoid an accident？ 　 　
A.When he sees only the red light.
B.When he sees only the green light.
C.When he sees both the green and red lights.
D.When he sees all the navigation lights on the plane.
（4）What is the best title for the text？ 　 　
A.Navigation Lights on the Plane
B.Flashing Lights in the Sky
C.The Use of the Lights
D.The Pilots and the Lights
