解析：考查词义辨析。句意为“除了近几十年修建了一两个加油站以外，古老的新英格兰村庄几乎没有什么变化”。except for和except都可表示“除……以外”，但前者指从整体中除去一个细节、一个方面，用于不同类事物之间的关系；后者着重“排除在外”“除去，不包括”，指在同类的整体中除去一个部分。常同nothing，all，none，nobody，any等不定代词以及every连用，如You Call have any ofthe cakes exceptthis one．。in addition to和besides都表示“除……之外(还)”，着重“另外还有”。A项最符合题意。

During the first half of the seventeenth century, when the nations of Europe were quarreling over who owned the New World, the Dutch and the Swedes founded competing villages ten miles apart on the Delaware River. Not long afterward, the English took over both places and gave them new names, New Castle and Wilmington.For a century and a half the two villages grew rapidly, but gradually Wilmington gained all the advantages. It was a little closer to Philadelphia, so when new textile mills opened, they opened in Wilmington, not in New Castle. There was plenty of water power from rivers and creeks at Wilmington, so when young Irenee DuPont chose a place for his gunpowder mill, it was Wilmington he chose, not New Castle. Wilmington became a town and then a city —a rather important city, much the largest in Delaware. And New Castle, bypassed by the highways and waterways that made Wilmington prosperous, slept ten miles south on the Delaware River. No two villages with such similar pasts could have gone such separate ways. Today no two pieces could be more different.Wilmington, with its expressways and parking lots and all its other concrete ribbons and badges, is a tired old veteran of the industrial wars and wears a vacant stare. Block after city block where people used to live and shop is broken and empty.New Castle never had to make way for progress and therefore never had any reason to tear down its seventeenth-and eighteenth-century houses. So they are still here, standing in tasteful rows under ancient elms around the original town green. New Castle is still an agreeable place to live. The pretty buildings of its quiet past make a serene setting for the lives of 4,800 people. New Castle may be America's loveliest town, but it is not an important town at all. Progress passed it by.Poor New Castle.Lucky Wilmington.Which is the major factor that made the difference between Wilmington and New Castle?A．Convenience for traffic.B．The Delaware River.C．The investment of Irenee DuPont.D．The textiles mills.

共用题干第二篇Home HeatingCentral heating became popular only after the Civil War.Typically,coal-burning furnaces（火炉）fueled the early systems.Natural gas had developed into the leading fuel by 1960.Its acceptance resulted in part from its wide uses.Because it comes primarily from U.S.and Canadian fields , natural gas is also less vulnerable（脆弱的）than oil is to war.Oil remains the most important fuel in a few areas,such as New England.Electric heating dominates most areas with mild winters and cheap electricity,including the South and the Northwest.It was made popular at least in the South by the low cost of adding electric heating to new houses built with air-conditioning.Bottled gas,which is somewhat more expensive than utility gas,is the fuel of choice in rural areas not served by utility pipelines.Wood is the leading heating fuel in just a few rural counties.Home heating,which accounts for less than 7 per cent of all energy consumed in the U.S.,has had a commendable（值得赞扬的）efficiency record : from 1 978 to 1 997 , the amount of fuel consumed for this purpose declined 44 per cent despite a 33 per cent increase in the number of housing units and an increase in house size.TheU.S.Department of Energy,however,forecasts that energy used in home heating will rise by 14 per cent over the next two decades.That rise is small considering an expected 21 per cent increase in the number of houses and the trend toward larger houses.Natural gas and electricity will probably dominate the home heating market for the next two decades.Solar（太阳的）heating never became popular because of cost and limited winter sunlight in most areas;in 2000 only 47,000 homes relied on it.What fuel is the dominant fuel in New England?A:Gas.B:Electricity.C:Wood.D:Oil.
