Iceland is a large island. In fact，it's the world's 18th largest island. Most of the population，however，lives in the southwestern part of the country，in or around the capital city of Reykjavik. By its very name，you'd expect Iceland to be mostly ice-covered. Looking at Iceland on a map，you'll notice it sits just outside the Arctic Circle. Despite its location and name，Iceland actually has a temperate climate，because it is warmed by the Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream also helps keep Iceland's coastal ports ice-free through the winter.
There is plenty of ice on Iceland，though. The country consists of a large plateau（高原）that includes fields of sand，mountains and glaciers. Over 60%of Iceland is tundra（苔原）.About 14%of Iceland consists of lakes and glaciers. Only about 24% of the country has plants or vegetation of any kind，which covers a vast area in the south of the country.
Iceland was settled in the late 800s and early 900s by Norsemen from the Scandinavian country of Norway. Other settlers also came from Ireland and Scotland. From the 13th century to 1918，Iceland was part of the Norwegian and later Danish monarchies. For most of that time，the small Icelandic population depended upon fishing and farming to make a living.
For hundreds of years，Iceland was one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. After World War Ⅱ，international aid and industrialisation of the fishing industry turned Iceland into one of the wealthiest countries in the world. In 1994，Iceland became part of the European Economic Area（欧洲经济区），which allowed its economy to grow even faster.
Iceland boasts one of the youngest islands in the world. Surtsey rose out of the ocean during a series of volcanic eruptions between 1963 and 1968.Today，only scientists who study the growth of new life can occasionally visit the volcanic island of Surtsey.
1. What can we know about Iceland according to the passage
A. It lies in the Arctic Circle.
B. Its capital city is very crowded.
C. Many people live in the east.
D. It has a fairly mild temperature.
2. What is mainly talked about in the third paragraph
A. Iceland's history.
B. Iceland's geography.
C. Iceland's population.
D. Iceland's politics.
3. What can we infer about Surtsey from the last paragraph
A. People there live on fishing.
B. No human beings live there at all.
C. There are many visitors.
D. Science is developing fast there.

[福建三明一中2021高二开学考试]After seeing the famous movie series Pirates of the Caribbean（《加勒比海盗》），Alexander Marchenko，a 38-year-old businessman from a small Russian village，decided to build his very own copy of the Black Pearl pirate ship.
Marchenko has travelled all over Russia，and believes that there is no other land more beautiful than his hometown. He decided to take advantage of the beautiful environment and build a hotel.
He had noticed the other restaurants and hotels in the area all looked the same way，so he tried to come up with something special that would attract visitors. He was wondering what kind of hotel he would build when the Black Pearl came into his mind. He then decided to build his own Black Pearl ship. Without any ship building experience，he went online and downloaded photos of famous ships to use as guides. And he started working on it immediately. It's been two years since he worked on his ship. Now, his own Black Pearl is starting to take shape on the Yenisei River.
The 21-metre-long vessel is made of wood produced locally，and the ship's “captain" plans to add all the tiniest details of the original Black Pearl. Right now，Marchenko is working on the interior decoration（内部装潢）.He spends most of his time in the workshop，making all the little designs by hand. So far，he has spent 3.5 million roubles.
Marchenko hopes to finish the work this summer. Judging by the attention his ship is getting in its current state，he believes that upon completion，tourists will flock to see his wooden wonder.
1.Which of the following does Alexander Marchenko believe？
A. His hometown is cleaner than any other village.
B. His small village will become a tourist attraction.
C. He can build the Black Pearl pirate ship with ease.
D. His hometown is more beautiful than any other land.
2. Which of the following words can be used to describe his hotel
A. Special.
B. Environmentally friendly.
C. Tiny.
D. Expensive.
3. What does the underlined word "vessel" in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Hotel.
B. Car.
C. Movie.
D. Ship.
4. What does Marchenko think of the future of his hotel
A. He is very confident of its success.
B. He is doubtful about its success.
C. He is worried about its success.
D. He is not certain of its future.

Rivers play an important role on Earth, and we can't imagine what the Earth would be like without rivers. 1
With a length of about 6,650 kilometres, the Nile is the longest river in the world. The Nile River has been the source of human civilisation since ancient times. The Nile has two main branches-the White Nile and the Blue Nile. The White Nile starts from the Great Lakes region of East and Central Africa through Lake Victoria. 2 The Blue Nile carries with it a lot of fertile soil which turns out to be very important to farming in Egypt.
The Amazon River is the world's largest river with a width of about 40 kilometres during the rainy season but about 10 kilometres wide when it is not flooded. The Amazon River has such a big water volume that it accounts for more than 20% of all the world's fresh water-far more than any other river. 3 The main Amazon River flows mostly through Brazil and Peru but its tributaries（支流）can also be found in many other countries.
4 It has a depth of about 220 metres. Its length is 4，700 kilometres. The sources of the Congo River are in the highlands and mountains in the East African Rift. It's the second largest river in terms of water volume. 5 The Congo Basin（刚果盆地）is the catchment area（集水区域）of the Congo River. It lies in both north and south of the equator，making its flow very stable as there are always some tributaries experiencing a rainy season at any time.
A. Some of them are worth mentioning.
B. The Congo River is the world's deepest river.
C. Do you know which is the deepest river in the world？
D. The Blue Nile originates from（发源于）Lake Tana in Ethiopia.
E. Without rivers，there would be no living things in and along them.
F. And it flows through the second largest rainforest in the world.
G. Streams that begin in the Andes Mountains are its sources.
