　　A country's latitude, or distance from the equator,has an important effect on its climate. In places locating at low latitudes, or near the equator, like__1__Ecuador and northern Brazil, the amount of sunshine changes the most during the years. At mid-latitudes, in __2__places like Japan or Argentina, there is less sunshine__3__in the summer than in winter. The greatest change occurs at the highest latitudes, in places like northern Canada and Alaska. In these places, the nights are very long for half the year, and the days are long during other half. At the North or South Pole, sunlight lasts __4__the longest during the winter. But light and heat are __5__the most intense at the equator. Altitude and distance from the sea also affect climate.The thin air in the high mountain areas absorb less of the __6__sun's heat than the thicker air at sea level. The daily change in temperature also increases with distance from the sea. Snow and rain are not very important to __7__climate. Snow reflects as much as eighty or ninety percent of the heat from the sun, and making the __8__weather even colder. But a large forest area can reflect as little as five percent of the sun's heat. This makes the weather warmer. Of course, the general effects of climate do not explain everything about the weather.

　　For example, either the driest places in the world and __9__the place with the most rainy days are located in Chile.Calama, in the Atacama Desert, has had no rain over__10__400 years. But during the year 1916, it rained in Bahia Felix, Chile for 348 days.

　　答案及解析:

　　1. locating—located

　　locate作位于解释时，常常用被动语态

　　2. most—least

　　根据上下文及常识，低纬度或赤道地区的日照量变化最小

　　3. less—more

　　常识告诉我们，诸如日本，阿根廷等纬度不高不低的国家或地区，夏季的日照要比冬季的日照多得多

　　4. 在other前加the

　　是指另外半年。other用于the、my、your、his等之后与一单一名词连用，意义为“两个中的另一个”

　　5. winter—summer

　　根据常识或科普知识可得

　　6. absorb—absorbs

　　the thin air是动词absorbs的主语

　　7. 删除not

　　我们的常识和下文Snow reflects as much as eighty or ninety percent of the heat from the sun, and making the weather even colder.能充分说明如果该句中有not一次是彻底错误的。

　　8. making—makes

　　makes the weather even colder由and链接reflects as much as eighty or ninety percent of the heat from the sun

　　9. either—both

　　首先是下文的and;其次，谓语动词是are located

　　10. 在over前插入for

　　for用于表示一段时间，作为时间状语，其修饰的谓语动词常常用完成时。
