1. 根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

B

    London is such a wonderful city. It is very large. The River Thames runs through the city from west to east. The city has two parts—the South and the North. In the North there are important buildings, shops, big parks and interesting places.

    The weather in London is good. In winter it is not very cold and in summer it is not very hot because the city is near the sea. People say London is a foggy city and that it often rains. It is true.

    Last year, when I was in London I saw one of the thickest fogs in years. You could hardly see your hand in front of your face. Cars and buses moved along with their lights on.

    When evening fell, the weather grew even worse. The fog was as thick as milk, and all the buses and cars stopped. I had an important meeting on the other side of the town, but it was impossible to find a taxi. I had to get there on foot.
