In fact, its the worlds 18th largest island. Most of the population, however, lives in the southern part of the country，in or around the capital city of Reykjavik. By its very name，youd expect Iceland to be mostly ice. Looking at Iceland on a map，youll notice it sits just outside the Arctic Circle. Despite this location and its name, Iceland actually has temperate climateneither too hot or too cold, because its warmed by the Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream also helps keep Icelands 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(冰川).Over sixty percent of Iceland is tundra(苔原).About fourteen percent of Iceland is lakes and glaciers. Only about twenty- three percent of the country has plants or vegetation of any kind.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 thirteenth century up until 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 industrialization of the fishing industry turned Iceland into one of the wealthiest countries in the world. In 1914，Iceland became part of the European Economic Area .which allowed its economy to grow even more.Iceland is 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 visit the volcanic island of Surtsey.28.

What would be the best title for this passage? A. An Island of Ice and Snow. B. A Developing Island in the world. C. Island, the Largest Island in the World. D. An Introduction to Iceland. DIt seems hard to watch someone yawn（打哈欠） and not to yawn ourselves. Even reading about yawning can make you do it. Now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force. Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a form of social connection. Kids dont develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. Kids with autism (自闭症) are less likely to catch yawns. In the most serious cases, they never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people municate and connect. Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together, said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. Yawning may be part of that. Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did. “The fact that autistic kids dont do it might mean theyre really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them,” she said. “The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we bee humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others,” she added. “Autistic people never seem to understand that.” Like infectious （有感染力的）laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.32. What does the new study suggest, according to the first two paragraphs? A. Yawning is a form of munication. B. It is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn.C. Children follow others in yawning just after they are born. D. Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God.33. According to Molly Helt, _. A. humans differ from animals because they municate with others B. yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humansC. emotions are infectious, but yawning is notD. yawning helps clear ears on planes34. Which of the following is NOT true about yawning?A. It is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn.B. Some kids are too young to yawn after others.C. Yawning can be used to test childrens development.D. Kids with autism yawn easily when others yawn. 35. The author implies in the last paragraph that _.A. yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in theoryB. it is bad manners to yawn on some social occasionsC. the more you yawn, the happier you will be D. yawning can make people feel relaxed 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to write a business apology letterDrafting a good business apology letter is one of the basic tasks a businessman has to plete. 36 It can also retain (保留) the customer, and even strengthen your relationship with the customer. 37 Then a business apology letter can be drafted and sent to the customer without delay.
