It covers over 2,000,000 square kilometers. Most of it lies inside the Arctic Circle, and a huge sheet of ice covers 85of it. Imagine that a map of Greenland is on top of Europe. Greenland stretches from London to the middle of the Sahara Desert. The ice sheet is more than 1.6 kilometers thick, and it never melts.Along the sea coast, mountains rise from the sea. There are a few low trees in the southwest, but no forests. Snow covers everything in winter, but in summer very low plants cover the ground between the sea and the ice sheet. Norwegians were the first Europeans to see the island in 875 A.D., but no one visited it until 982. Three years later a few Norwegians went to live there. In 1261, the people in Greenland decided to join Norway. Norway and Denmark united in 1380. This union ended in 1814, and Greenland stayed with Denmark. Greenland is fifty times larger than Denmark, but it is still a part of this small country. 21. As you study a globe, you may notice that Greenland .A. mostly lies within the Arctic Circle B. is connected with Denmark and NorwayC. lies just on top of Europe D. stretches from London to the Sahara Desert22. What will you probably see when you e to the southwest of Greenland in summer?A. Forests of very low trees B. Nothing but ice sheet everywhereC. Very low plants along the seaside D. Snow that covers everything there.23. How long did Greenland stay with Norway?A. About 120 years B. About 400 years C. About 500 years D. About 550 years24. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Greenland now belongs to Denmark B. Denmark is much smaller than Greenland C. Norway and Denmark didnt unite until 1380 D. Norway and Denmark have been one country since 1380BA well-dressed man came into a famous jewellery shop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wifes birthday and that the price didnt matter since business had been very good for him that year. After examining a number of beautiful and valuable pearls, he chose a nice black one that cost $5000. He paid for the pearl, shook hands with the jeweler and left.A few days later the man returned and said his wife had liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just liked it. It had to be exactly the same size and quality as she wanted a pair of earrings made. “Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?” said the man. The jeweler replied, “ I would say its nearly impossible to find an exact one like that pearl.”The rich man asked the jeweler to advertise in the newspapers, and offered $25, 000 for the matching pearl. Many people answered the advertisement, but nobody had a pearl that was just right. Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady came in. To his surprise, she pulled the wonderful pearl from her handbag. “I dont like to sell it,” she said sadly. “I inherited(继承) it from my mother, and my mother inherited it from hers. But now I really need the money.”The jeweler was quick to pay her before she changed her mind. Then he called the rich mans hotel to tell him the good news. The rich man, however, was nowhere to be found.25. From the first paragraph we can guess that the jeweler considered the well-dressed man as_. A. an honest jeweler to make friends with B. a rich businessman and good husbandC. a clever cheat with a lot of money D. a poor gentleman who spent money like water26. He paid $5000 for the pearl without bargaining _.A. because he loved his wife very much B. in order to get it as quickly as possible C. since his business had been successful D. so as to make the jeweler believe him27. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The people who answered the advertisement wanted to sell their pearls at a high price.B. The woman was the well-dressed mans wifeC. The jeweler was lucky enough to buy the little old ladys pearl.D. The rich man didnt know the little old lady.28. The jeweler could not find the rich man anywhere because he _.A. had moved to another hotel B. was busy doing businessman with othersC. had escaped with $20, 000 D. had told the wrong telephone number C You may know your mother, but how well do you really know Mothers Day? Cards, flowers, sales, TV specials, and a day off for someone who really deserves it - those are what probably e to mind for many people when they think of Mothers Day. But theres more to the story.The earliest Mothers Day celebrations were held during spring in ancient Greece. The celebrations honored Rhea, the Mother of the gods. During the 1600s, England celebrated a day called Mothering Sunday. On this day even servants were given the day off to spend with their families. A mothering cake was even served with the family meal.In the US, Mothers Day began in 1872 when Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the words to the famous song The Battle Hymn of the Republic, suggested it as a day devoted to peace. But it didnt really bee popular until 1907 when Anna Jarvis started a campaign to honor mothers. She believed that mothers could help people get over the pain they experienced during the Civil War. The US isnt alone in devoting a day to mothers. Many other countries including Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, Japan, and Belgium also honor their mothers in May. Other countries honor their mothers at different times of the year.Learning more about Mothers Day and celebrating Mothers Day are important, but probably not as important as understanding what your own mother, or grandmother, or aunt has really done for you. And that will certainly be appreciated more than one day in a year.29. What is the passage mainly about?A. The reason why people celebrate Mothers Day.B. The ways people honor mothers.C. The great contribution of mothers.D. The history of Mothers Day.30. Where was the earliest Mothers Day celebrated?A. In ancient Greece. B. In the US.C. In England. D. In Italy.31. We can learn from the passage that _.A. Rhea is the mother of a king in ancient GreeceB. all the countries dont celebrate Mothers Day in MayC. only mothers were given a day off on Mothering SundayD. it was in 1872 that Mothers Day really came into being32. The last paragraph tells us that _.A. all the people should celebrate Mothers DayB. only mothers are honored on Mothers DayC. understanding mothers work is more important than just celebrating Mothers DayD. people should celebrate Mothers Day every day DRecently the “China dream” has been the subject of a public topic. Although it is quite mon for Chinese people to dream of an empowered or a prosperous(繁荣) China, most people also have their own dreams. Throughout Chinas thousands of years of history, these “China dreams” have always existed. Do you have a “China dream”? I brought up this topic with several young Chinese students with higher U.S. educational backgrounds. Unsurprisingly, they all had their own heartfelt hopes and dreams for their native country. Fred Wang, an MBA candidate in the U.S. said, “I dream of equal chance for the young in China. Equality means all young people can pete fairly, based on the rule-of-law no matter whether they are rich or poor.”Yujie Zhao, another MBA candidate in California said, “I dream of a happy family with an affordable house. I dream of having the best education for my children so they will not lose at the starting line, and I dream of being able to take good care of my parents after they retire.” She said, “It seems like all my dreams are about family, but it is so true for most Chinese young dreamers today.”Yiqiong Zhang, an MBA graduate from the US shared her dreams. “I have a dream which I have been holding for many years, that is after working hard for about 20 to 25 years, I can have enough money to build and manage a small bookstore or a flower shop. Besides working hard, I am able to enjoy life: to play the piano, to hike and to enjoy a two-month-long vacation every year. This may be a mon dream among young Chinese students.”There is no doubt that all of these young students have their own “China dream”. They all love China, they all love chasing their dreams. Beautiful “China Dream” requires hard work. Everyone should work hard to make their dream e true.33. Which is right about the three young Chinese students?A. They receive higher education in China. B. They have their own hopes and dreams for China. C. They receive education of all levels in America. D. They have their own hopes and dreams for America.34. Yujie Zhao hopes that _. A. all young people can have equal opportunities B. she can have a happy family with a big house C. her children can receive the best education in AmericaD. she can look after her parents well when they are old 35. From the passage we can learn that _.A. “China Dream” is very difficult to e true. B. “China Dream” does need everyones hard work. C. “China Dream” is a subject we need to study in China. D. “China Dream” is only a dream about the development of our country. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Millions of people are using cell phones today.
