17．The Channel is the name given to the stretch of water which separates England and France．Ferries operate all year round to carry people across the Channel，and they are busy most of the year．January is the only quiet month nowadays．As well as summer holiday-makers，there are day trippers and coach traffic，not to mention lorries and other commercial vehicles．Some ferries carry cars and their passengers，while others also connect train passengers with the Continental rail network．
The biggest hazard for the ferry is the wind．The crew listens to BBC weather reports four times a day．Or they sometimes get gale warnings from local radio station．
Crossing the Channel by ferry is a bit like trying to cross Oxford Street on a busy afternoon，according to one ferryboat captain．The ferries from Folkstone and Dover to Calais and Boulogne have to cross the main flow of traffic．This consists of ships traveling through the Channel to and from Northern Europe．There may be four hundred ships making the journey at any one time，and they all pass through a"choke point"which is only fifteen miles （twenty-five kilometers） wide．The cross-channel ferries have to sail right through the middle of all this traffic．

Answer 1

分析 这是一篇说明文．作者介绍了英吉利海峡之间的轮渡．

解答 CBAC
68．C   主旨大意题．本文主要介绍了英吉利海峡之间的轮渡，因此C为正确答案．
69  B   词义猜测题．从后一句"The crew listens to BBC weather reports four times a day． Or they sometimes get gale warnings from local radio station"中的warning判断，harzard表示"危险"．所以选B．
70   A  推理判断题．从warning 可推断是有危险，轮渡当然要停止工作；根据第一段"Ferries operate all year round to carry people across the Channel，and they are busy most of the year． January is the only quiet month nowadays．"可知B错误；选项C文章没有提到；选项D文章中有明确的表述，不能作为推理题的答案．
71  C   主旨大意题．文章主要介绍了英吉利海峡的轮渡．和交通运输有关，所以选择C．
