這篇短文介紹了格陵蘭島和冰島的地理環境和氣候特征。

答案簡析

1．C。格陵蘭島位于歐洲北部。這需要有一定的地理常識，下文并無提示。

2．B。

3．A。如果你只從字面上看，認為Greenland是綠色的，而 Iceland被許多冰所覆蓋，那么你就想錯了。根據下文可知它們的地理特征并不像它們的名字所描述的那樣。

4．B。There must be more people…表示肯定猜測，而如果直接用There are more people則太絕對化了。

5．D。根據下文得知格陵蘭島大部分地區被冰所覆蓋，所以是白色的。

6．D。格陵蘭島的冰比世界最高的樓高。故選high的比較級 higher。

7．C。What about Iceland? 意為“冰島(的地理環境和氣候)又怎樣呢?”。

8．A。not so…as…表示“不如……”。

9．B。因為冰島擁有很多的溫泉，冰也沒有格陵蘭島的多，所以氣溫就沒有格陵蘭島低。

10．C。a lot more people相當于much more people。意思是“冰島的人口比格陵蘭島的多得多”。
