Discovering consists of seeing what everybody has seen and what nobody has thought.
A．think B．thinking C．thought D．to think
Of the six－billion－plus people in the world，600 million live on islands．In other words，one in ten of the world’s population is an island dweller．This is not so hard to imagine when you consider that more than 200 million people live in Indonesia alone―and about 60 million more live on the island of Britain．
No island，or group of islands，is the same．Indonesia，for example，is a nation which consists entirely of islands，nearly 14，000 of them，of which 6，000 are inhabited．Britain is a small， crowded island，with a population density of 243 people per square kilometer，almost twice as much as China．Britain is also the only island in the world which is connected to a continent by a tunnel，the Channel Tunnel between southeast England and North France．
If you ignore Australia，which is an island－continent，the largest island in the world is Greenland，an unusual name for a place which is almost permanently covered in ice! On the other hand，Iceland，which is Greenland’s relatively near neighbor to the east，is much greener．
Why is this？Iceland is far enough north，like Greenland，to be entirely covered by ice，but more than one third of Iceland is volcanically active．Magma，which is molten volcanic rock below the surface of the ground，heats the terrain above it，keeping it green．The story goes that an early settler from Iceland gave Greenland its name in order to encourage more people to live there！
Even the smallest islands have a story to tell．The remotest inhabited island in the world is Tristan da Cunha，which is in the South Atlantic Ocean．Fewer than 250 people live there and they are all related to each other，with only seven surnames between them．The island capital has the romantic name of Edinburgh of the South Seas．
56．According to the text，islands contain ．
A．one in ten of the world’s population
B．more than six billion people
C．a total of 200，000，000 people
D．much less than 10 percent of the world’s population
57．What does the text tell us by the expression“population density”in the second paragraph？
A．Britain is half as crowded as China．
B．China’s population is around 485 people per square kilometer in the country as a whole．
C．The population per square kilometer is much greater in Britain than in China because of the size of the IK．
D．Britain is twice as populated as China．
58．Where is Edinburgh of the South Seas？
A．On the smallest island in the South Atlantic Ocean．
B．On a romantic，uninhabited island．
C．On a distant，small island inhabited by few people．
D．On a Scottish island in the South Seas．
59．What is the topic of the text？
A．Indonesia Islands B．Islands in the South Pacific．
C．Islands around the world． D．Ialand dwellers．
| Of the three major beverages of the world — tea, coffee and cocoa — tea is consumed by the largest number of people. China is the homeland of tea. It is believed that China had tea-shrubs(茶树) as early as five thousand years ago. Tea from China, along with silk and porcelain, began to be known to the world over more than a thousand years ago and has been an important Chinese export. At present more than forty countries in the world grow tea and Asian countries produce 90% of the world’s total output. Chinese tea may be put into several categories according to the different methods by which it is processed(加工). Green tea is the variety which keeps the original colour of the tea leaves without fermentation(发酵) during the processing. This category consists mainly of Longjing of Zhejiang Province, Maofeng of Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province and Biluochun produced in Jiangsu. Black tea, known as “red tea” (hong cha) is the category which is fermented before baking. It is a later variety developed on the basis of the green tea. The best brands of black tea are Qihong of Anhui, Dianhong of Yunnan, Suhong of Jiangsu, Chuanhong of Sichuan and Huhong of Hunan. Wulong tea is a variety half way between the green and the black tea, being made after partial fermentation. It is a specialty from the provinces on the southeast coast of China — Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan. Scented tea(花茶) is made by mixing fragrant flowers in the tea leaves in the course of processing. The flowers commonly used for this purpose are jasmine(茉莉) and magnolia(玉兰) among others. Jasmine tea is a well-known favorite with the northerners of China and with a growing number of foreigners. 1. According to the passage, we know ______. A.
