Iceland lies in the North Atlantic Ocean. It is the second largest island in Europe. The country has a total area of 103,000 square kilometers and a coastline of about 6,600 km. The island is 300 km wide from north to south, and 500 km across from west to east.
From 1262 to 1944 Iceland was ruled first by Norway and then by Denmark. Centuries of foreign rule, and such things as volcanoes(火山) and the weather, made life very difficult at times for the Icelanders: there was lots of hard work and little change. The situation began to improve during the nineteenth century. Then in 1944 Iceland became an independent republic; since that time it has become a quite rich country where the people enjoy having cars, modern houses and lots of electrical equipment. If you look at the kind of products that Iceland exports today—fish, meat and wool for example—it’s easy to see that both the sea and the land are important to Icelanders. This has been true in fact since the time of the first Icelanders—Vikings from Norway who arrived in AD874.
Some things in the lives of the Icelanders have changed very little—the Icelandic language, for example, 700 years ago the stories called Sagas were first written down, these can still be read in the old language without much difficulty by Icelandic speakers today.
1. In Iceland, the distance from north to south is _________that from west to east.

3. Which of the following sentences is NOT true?

As the novel corona-virus (新型冠状病毒) spreads throughout China and the rest of the world, an important question has yet to be answered: where did the virus come from?
The latest study showed that pangolins (穿山甲) may be an intermediate (中间的) host of virus, according to Xinhua. However, bats are suspected to be the original cause.
“We don't know the source yet, but there's pretty strong evidence that this is a bat origin corona-virus, said Peter Dazsak, president of Eco-Health Alliance, an environmental nonprofit (非营利机构), according to The New York Times,“When you look at the genetic sequence (基因序列) of the virus, and you match it up with every known corona-virus, the closest ones are from bats,\" Dazsak also told CNN.
So why are bats the source of so many deadly kinds of viruses and why don't they suffer from any symptoms (症状)? Bats are mammals (哺乳动物) that have a long lifespan (寿命) and live with millions of other bats in caves, where they can potentially spread the virus far and wide. As the only lying mammal, their body temperature is high, similar to a fever It's this fact that may contribute to bats' unique immune system (免疫系统) in protecting from the ill effects of viruses.
But are bats truly to blame for the virus or should we be blaming ourselves? It's the fault (错误) of humans for decreasing(减少) the distance between us and virus-carrying bats. Bats are an important animal in our ecosystem (生态系统) when it comes to pollinating (授粉) many fruits such as mangoes, bananas and avocados. We need to allow them to continue pollination and keep them away from our markets and mouths.
4. What can we learn about the origin of COVID-19?
A. Bats have been discovered to be its original cause. B. Pangolins are now considered the most likely source.

A.Their low body temperature protects them. B. Bats have a unique immune system.
C. Bats are the only flying mammal to live in groups. D. Living in caves helps bats fight against viruses. 6. What is the main point the author makes in the last paragraph?
A. Virus-carrying bats should be killed B. Humans should stay away from bats. C. Bats benefit but also harm our ecosystem: D. Bats could spread Viruses during pollination.
C
He was an old man who fished alone in a small boat on the sea and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish, the boy’s parents had told him that the old man was now salao, which is the worst form of unlucky, and ordered the boy to join another boat which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his boat empty. The sail looked like the flag of failure (失败) forever. The old man was thin with deep wrinkles (皱纹) in the back of his neck. His face was
terribly brown because of the strong sunlight on the sea every day and his hands had the deep scars (伤疤) from dealing with heavy fish on the lines. But none of these scars were fresh.
Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful.
“Santiago,” the boy said to him as they climbed the bank from the sea. “I could go with you again. We’ve made some money.”
The old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him.
“No,” the old man said. “You’re with a lucky boat. Stay with them.”
“But remember how you went eighty-seven days without fish and then we caught big ones every day for three weeks.”
“I remember,” the old man said.
“It was papa who made me leave. I am a boy and I must follow him.” “I know,” the old man said. “It is quite normal (正常的).” “He hasn’t much faith(信心).”
“No,” the old man said. “But we have. Haven’t we?”
“Yes,” the boy said. “Can I offer you a beer on the Terrace?” “Why not?” the old man said “Between fishermen.”

Ladies and gentlemen, 1 returned to this year in a time machine. In the year 2500, we are able to travel through time to any year in the history of the earth. This year is your last chance to change your lifestyle to save the earth.
Beginning in the middle of the 20th century, a few people were worried about polluting the earth's water and air，but most people did not change their way of life. Instead, they continued to
pour(倒)dangerous chemicals(化学物品)and other waste into lakes and seas，to drive more and more cars and trucks，and to cut down trees.
By the year 2200，the earth's water was completely polluted. People could no longer drink water, and they had to use other types of liquids(液体). Scientists said that in the future there might be too many people on the earth. But not enough was done.
So by the year 2300, there were so many people that food became scarce. There was no water to grow food and all of the fish in lakes and seas died because of pollution. Terrible wars broke out between the rich and the poor. Scientists were working very hard to find another planet in space where humans could live on.
By the year 2400，the air was too polluted for humans to breathe. So we had to leave the earth. But only the rich were able to leave. Where did we go? Nowhere. You see scientists did not find another safe planet，so now we must travel around the universe in our space ships. We are still looking for a place to call our home.
So it is up to you to change history. There is still hope. You must change your lifestyle now, before it is too late.
10 .Which problem is NOT talked about in Paragraph 2?
A. Water. B. Air. 11. The underlined word \"scarce\" means \"_______\".
A.昂贵的
B.充足的 C.缺乏的 D.特殊的
6 / 11
C. Lifestyle. D. Food.

“USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?” We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.
It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.
But there are also some problems. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language. Students must also learn to live without parents' care and deal with all kinds of difficulties. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well. Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden (负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high.
We know that there are many famous people who have had success through their hard work in China. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.
