解答 39-42CBAD
39.C 推理判断题 根据The northern part of this country is inside the Arctic Circle可知芬兰的北部在北极圈内,而并非全部,因此A项错误;根据Finland is perhaps the most beautiful and mysterious(神秘的)of the countries of northern Europe可知芬兰是北欧的国家,而不是靠近北欧的国家,B项错误;根据where almost no trees can grow because of its cold weather and the people use their deer for transport,clothing and food.可知在北极圈由于寒冷,几乎没有树木,故D项不符合事实;从文中的"Finland was conquered by its western neighboring Sweden"可推断C项正确.
40.B 细节理解题 根据In about 1155,Finland was conquered by its western neighbouring Sweden.After a period of rule by Denmark in the 14th century,the Swedes won back independence and power in 1523 under their brave king,可知芬兰在大约1151年被邻国瑞典征服;在14世纪时受丹麦统治;1523年瑞典再次统治芬兰;在拿破仑战争期间,芬兰的统治权最后从瑞典过渡给俄国,苏俄成立后不久即1919年芬兰独立.故选项B正确.
41.A 细节理解题 根据During the Napoleonic Wars (1814-1818)Finland was passed finally from Sweden to Russia.The opportunity came in 1917.Shortly after Soviet Russia made peace with Germany,1919 saw the founding of the Finnish Republic.可知俄国在(1814-1818)拿破仑战争期间开始统治芬兰,到1919年芬兰成为独立的国家,俄国对芬兰的统治长达100年,故选项A正确.
42.D 细节理解题 文中的"…1919 saw the founding of the Finnish Republic"这句话意思是1919年芬兰共和国成立,因此D项正确.

The character of Hamlet has a personal,painful quality that still draws readers and playgoers today as it did 400years ago.The problems he faces,such as what is (38)happeningand how he should respond to events,are ones we all face in our lives.
Hamlet is the young prince of Denmark.At the beginning,he is sad about his dead father.Everyone else around him is(39)celebrating the marriage of his mother Gertrude to her brother-in-law Claudius,the new king.Hamlet thinks that the short time between the death of his father and the marriage of his mother and uncle is (40)disrespectful.
Hamlet is told that a spirit has been walking around Elsinore castle.He meets it and it says that his father was killed,and by his brother Claudius-----it was"murder most horrid (可怕的)"!Now,the ghost instructs him,it is his (41)duty to avenge (报仇).
Hamlet is in a terrible position.He does not know whether the ghost is who he says he is,or a being sent by the devil (魔鬼).Matters are (42)complicated because Claudius is suspicious of his nephew.There is a cat-and-mouse game played between the king and Hamlet.
Hamlet has a play performed for the king which stages the way the ghost told him of his father's murder.Claudius reacts with horror,proving to hamlet that he is (43)guilty.But Hamlet misses the opportunity to take his revenge.
He tells Gertrude he hates her (44)marriage to Claudius.During their meeting he kills Polonius,who is the father of his love,Ophelia.Then,Lacerates comes back to the court.He's heard that his father,Polonius,has been killed,so he wants to kill Hamlet.
Cunning (奸诈的) Claudius attempts to play Lacerates and Hamlet against each other,and in the final scene it all goes horribly wrong.
One(45)famous speech in the play begins"to be or not to be":it is about how Hamlet can't decide whether to get out of his bad situation by killing himself.Hamlet is a thinking man.One who thinks too much in the world where others,like Claudius,show no (46)hesitation.
By now medical staff had arrived,and were(50)B the injured woman.We gave the flower to the woman's husband and I told him it was(51)A my son.At that,the old man started crying and said,"Thank you very much."He then turned to me,"You have a(52)D son.Happy Mother's Day to you.?
The man bent down and gave his wife the flower,telling her who it was from.(53)B being badly hurt,the old lady looked up at Tenyson with(54)A in her eyes and gave him a little(55)C.
