It lies between 6324and 6633N, and between 1330and 242W and is the second largest island in Europe. It is close to the Arctic Circle, yet in fact, only one of its northerly islands lies inside. 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-its 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(公元874年)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.56. Where is Iceland?A. In the Arctic Circle. B. Near Europe.C. Between Norway and Denmark. D. In the Atlantic Ocean.57. In Iceland, the distance from north to south is _that from west to east.A much longer than B shorter thanC. the same as D. a little longer than58. How many years did Norway and Denmark rule the Iceland?A. 700 B. 388. C. 682 D. 107059. What has hardly changed in Iceland?A. Exporting products. B. The Icelandic language.C. House equipment. D. The lives of the Icelanders.60. Which of the following sentences is NOT true?A. Iceland has been an independent republic since Vikings began to live there.B. Iceland is a country of many small islands.C. Iceland is not the largest island in the world,D. Iceland is quite a modern country now.BMany people go to school for an education . They learn languages, history, math and other subjects. Others go to school to learn a skill so they can make a living . School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school, a teacher cannot teach his students everything they want to know. The teachers work is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is learned outside school by the students themselves. Its always more important to know how to study by oneself than to know some formulas(公式). Its quite easy to learn a formula in math. But its very difficult to use a formula in doing math exercises. Great people before us didnt get everything from school. Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison didnt even finish school. But they were all so successful and invented so many things because they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They would ask many questions as they read. They worked hard all their lives. Above all, they knew how to use their heads. 61. Some people go to school to learn_ to make a living . A. a skill B. history C. a formula D. everything 62. People go to school to_. A. learn several subjectsB. make a living C. get an educationD. learn a skill 63. The most important thing a teacher should do is to_. A. teach his students everything he knows B. know everything C. teach the students some formulas D. teach the students how to study by themselves 64. Why were many people so successful? A. Because they got good education. B. Because they were very clever. C. Because they knew how to learn. D. Because they learned many formulas. 65. Which is right according to the story? A. Great people read lots of books and asked many questions while they read. B. Great people could learn everything from school. C. People need to know only some formulas to do math exercises. D. The teachers cannot teach their students how to read and how to think.CA. Thats how you get the skills you need for taking tests B. Have a good breakfastC. Here are some ways to make sure youre at your best on test days.D. Dont spend too much time on any difficult questionE. Look over all the answer choices(选择)Now youve finished three years of English study. Theres one way to demonstrate(展示) what youve learnedtake a test! Do you have any special methods(方法) you use to help you do better on a test? How well you do is often a matter of how well prepared you are. (66) . Go to bed early. The night before a test is not the time to stay up watching TV. You want to be rested and wide-awake for test day. (67) . Test day isnt a morning for donuts (面包圈). Nor is it a time to starve yourself. Eat plenty of low-sugar, high-energy food to keep your brain and body working their best. Be prepared. Make sure you have two pencils and anything else you were asked to bring. Watch the numbers. Make sure that the number of the items(项目) on your answer sheet matches the number of the question. (68) . Dont assume (假定) that choice A is correct until youve checked the others. You may find a better one. And it is wrong to eliminate（淘汰） any choice that you can see at once. Youll have a better chance of finding the right answer.Check the clock. Make sure you allow yourself enough time to answer every question and go back and check your answers. (69) . Skip (跳读) it and come back to it later. Keep up with your schoolwork all year long. (70) .DRich or poor, young or old, we all have problems. And unless we deal with our problems, we can easily become unhappy. Worrying about our problems can affect how we do at school. It can also influence the way we behave with our families. So how do we deal with our problems? There are many ways.By learning to forgetMost of us have probably been angry with our friends, parents or teachers. Perhaps they said something you didnt like, or you felt they were unfair. Sometimes, people can stay angry for years about a small problem. Time goes by, and good friendships may be lost.When we are angry, however, we are usually the ones affected. Perhaps we have seen young children playing together. Sometimes they have disagreements and decide not to talk to each other. However, this usually does not last for long. This is an important lesson for us: we can solve a problem by learning to forget.By regarding problems as challengesMany students often complain about school. They might feel they have too much homework to do sometimes, or think the rules are too strict. We must learn how to change these “problems” into “chall
