20．--I think your wife doesn't understand you．--On the contrary.she understands me very well．——青夏教育精英家教网—

17．Because of the Great Lakes，they learned，Canada has more fresh water than （63）any （64）other（ 65）country in the world．In fact，it has one-third of the world's total fresh water，and much of it is in the Great Lakes．

16．Water had also appeared on other planets like Mars but，（ 62）unlikethe earth，it had disappeared later．It was not immediately obvious that water was to be fundamental to the development of life．

14．To American visitors，Iceland is a very interesting country，partly because it is different in so many ways from he or she is used to seeing at home．There are quite a few things that are not done，or that do not exist on the island-quite a few"No's"．
There is no pollution，for instance，no dogs are permitted in Reykjavik，the capital．There is no television on Thursdays or during the whole month of July，and only three hours of blackand-white TV the rest of the time．There is no hard liquor（酒） on Wednesdays and no beer at any time．There is no handguns； only one prison of thirty five rooms in the whole land-an admirable figure，even for a small country of 313，376people．
There is no army，air force or navy．There is no tipping（给小费） for anything．There are no large stores open on Saturdays or Sundays．Since Iceland is located just under the Arctic Circle，there is no darkness in summer and no daylight in winter．But thanks to Gulf Stream，the climate is rather mild，with temperatures between 34degrees and 52degrees in July．
The rules on television liquor and guns are the result of government decisions．But the absence of pollution is because of in great part the fact that Iceland gets its power from the thousands of hot springs（泉水） that come out of the ground．They provide all the energy needed by the country．In fact，Iceland uses only 3percent of all its available power．
Iceland has been described as a democratic（民主的） independent country where more fish are caught and more books published per person than anywhere else in the world．The Icelanders have always felt a particular love for literature．They wrote their first books in the ninth and tenth centuries AD．These works were poems and tales about the kings，heroes，and heroines of Iceland and Norway．At first，the stories were remembered and passed from generation to generation．They were finally written down between 1140and 1220．The Icelanders have never stopped writing ever since．"Rather shoeless than bookless，"they proudly say．

13．Canada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages：English and French．There are 10provinces in the country but only one of these-Quebec is known as"French Canada"．This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest．
Canada left the Britain in 1867to become an independent country，and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since．
Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast in English throughout the country．Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast，French television is very rare．
The same goes for traffic signs and menus，for example．Outside of Quebec，there are only a few places where you'll see traffic signs in French．In restaurants，it's almost impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland of French Canada．However，all products sold in Canada must，by law，have labels（标签）and instructions in both languages．
In Canada's English speaking provinces，official bilingualism（双语）means that students can choose to complete a special French language course．Under this programme，they are taught most of their subjects in French．If a student begins the course in kindergarten（幼儿园）or Grade One，it is likely that all their lessons will be in French．However，if they start at junior high school，25per cent of the teaching will continue to be in English．

12．Cold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work．Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word cold．For centuries，the body's blood has been linked closely with the emotions．People who show no human emotions or feelings，for example，are said to be cold-blooded．Cold-blooded people act in merciless ways．They may do cruel things to others，and not by accident．For example，a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer．The killer murdered someone，not in self-defense．He seemed to kill with no emotion．
Cold can affect other parts of the body，the feet，for example．Heavy socks can warm your feet，if your feet are really cold．But there is an expression-to get cold feet-that has nothing to do with cold or your feet．The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do．For example，you agree to be president of an organization．But then you learn that all the other officers have given up the position．All the work of the organization will be your responsibility．You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation．
Cold can also affect your shoulder．You give someone the cold shoulder when you refuse to speak to them．You treat them in a distant，cold way．The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone，instead of speaking to him face-to-face．You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you．Or，to someone who has lied about you to others．
A cold fish is not a fish．It is a person．But it is a person who is unfriendly，unemotional and shows no love or warmth．A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone．
Out in the cold is an expression often heard．It means not getting something that everybody else got．A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise．He was left out in the cold．And it is not a pleasant place to be．

24．The text is intended to tell us thatB．

11．Hello．I'm Jan from Mrs．Lake's class．My class wants to work together to help the public．We think we have found a great way to do this．Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town．We learned about the Adopt-a-Highway Program．This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads．We think it would be a great idea for all students in our school to join the program and adopt（收养） a highway．
Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet．When a highway is adopted，only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people．The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean．Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it．The sign is put up at the side of the road．This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean．
The Adopt-a-Highway Program is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer．Also，the government does not have to send out as many road workers．This saves money．Finally，people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people，especially teenagers like us，cleaning them up．
We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway．If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean，please come with your parents to the meeting next week．We will meet in Mrs．Lake's room on Wednesday at 6：00P．M．At the meeting，we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people's unkind acts．Then we'll try to pick an area to adopt and clean．
I look forward to seeing you at the meeting．Remember to keep our roads clean!

21．What is the Adopt-a-Highway Program about？C．
A．Giving names to the highways．
B．Drawing pictures of highways．
C．Picking up litter along the roads．
D．Putting up signs near the roads．
22．What is the purpose of this speech？A．
A．To encourage students to join the program．
B．To introduce the traffic system．
C．To show drivers how to drive safely．
D．To tell a story about adopting a highway．
23．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？D．
A．Don't miss the meeting
B．Volunteers on Roads
C．Ways to Protect the Environment
D．Adopt-a-Highway．
