The Eurovision Song Contest takes place in May every year．Before the final competition，people in each country choose the song they want to represent(代表)their country．The idea of the contest is to promote(促進(jìn)) pop music from all of the different countries and to give an opportunity(機(jī)會(huì))to new singers and composers.

(A)Only members of the European Broadcasting Union can take part in the competition·Singers do not have to have the nationality of the countries they represent．For example，in 1963 the singer Nana Mouskouri represented Luxembourg，although she is Greek．Since 1986，singers must be over 16，after a l3-year-old from Belgium won the competition in 1985．

    In the first years of Eurovision only the United Kingdom，Ireland，and Maita could sing in English. Now there are no rules about languages，So groups can sing in their own languages，or in English if they want to．(B)Today almost all countries sing in English．

    The competition is always in the country where the last year’s winner came from．The country with the most winners is Ireland，and many Eurovision singers have become very famous，for example Abba and Julio lglesias.

    閱讀短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容回答下列各題。

Look at the diagram（圖表）below．It shows a cross—section（橫截面）of a mountain and the land on each side of it．The sea is on the west side of the mountain．

In January，F(xiàn)ebruary and March，warm wet winds blow strongly across the sea towards the mountain．The winds pick up moisture（濕氣）as they blow across the sea．When clouds reach the mountain，they rise and become cooler．The higher they have to go，the cooler they become．The moisture in the clouds turns to rain．As a result，the clouds drop rain on the west side of the mountain，which sometime has problems with flooding．Some of the clouds pass over the mountain but there is little rain in them．

    In July and August，winds blow from G towards the mountain．They pass over a wide desert，where it is always very hot．The winds become hot and dry．They rise when they meet the mountain．They do not form clouds because there is no moisture in the hot air．

    The diagram shows why（in many counties）there are profitable（有益的）farms on the side of a range of mountains but there is a desert on the other side．
