【解析】

【1】根據(jù)第一段最后一句In these states，people wear light clothes during the summer，and they need heavy wool or fur clothes in winter．可得出本題的答案。

【2】根據(jù)第二段In the southwest，the climate is quite warm during the winter，but hot in summer．可得出本題的答案。選項(xiàng)A的錯(cuò)誤主要是little hot與原句的意思相反。

【3】根據(jù)第四段第二句Today trucks and trains carry fruits and vegetables very quickly to all parts of the United States．可得出本題的答案。

【5】本文的中心內(nèi)容就是介紹美國的氣候情況，所以選項(xiàng)A是最佳答案。
