Greenland is the largest island（岛）in the world. It’s in Europe（欧洲）. Near Greenland there is another land. It’s very small. Its name is Iceland. Do you think Greenland is green and warm? And do you think Iceland is white with ice? If you do, you are quite wrong. Few people live on Greenland. Maybe there are more people in one small town on Iceland than those in the whole of Greenland. Because most of the island is covered with（覆盖）ice, the ice on Greenland is higher than the tallest building in the world. How about Iceland? Is it colder than Greenland? No, it isn’t. Iceland has ice, but not so much ice as Greenland. Iceland has lots of hot springs. They give out hot water and steam（水蒸气）. The weather is not so cold as that on Greenland. And there are more people on Iceland than on Greenland.
根据短文内容，判断正（A）误（B）。Iceland is a land of ice.
The weather on Greenland is colder than that on Iceland.
“Hot spring” here means “暖春”.
The whole Iceland is covered with ice.
The people on Iceland are more than those on Greenland.
Do you know what Oscar is? When did it start? Maybe you can find the background of the awards in the following passage.
The awards started in 1929. Their full title is “The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards”. The Academy is a group of people who have worked in the film industry for many years. They decide who will receive the awards. The awards are often referred to as the “Oscar”. This is a nickname given to the awards by a lady called Margaret Herrick. She was once the director of the Academy and she once said that the little gold statue(雕像) reminded her of her uncle Oscar!
The Oscar is always an exciting event. Each year, at least one unusual thing happens. When the Italian actor and director Roberto Benigni won an Oscar for best foreign film, he danced on stage! When Gwyneth Paltrow, the star of Shakespeare in Love won the Oscar for best actress, she could not make her acceptance speech because she was crying so much with happiness!
In 1987, Roberto Benigni won the award for best director for a film about the last emperor of China. Since then, Chinese film and actors have started to make an impact at the award. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was a huge success and it won the award for best foreign language film in 2001. It also won several technical awards for its amazing “flying” people. We expect to see more awards for Chinese film in the near future.
It’s time for the Oscar again. Once more, the stars will dress up in their finest and go to Kodak Theater. There, they will find out who had won the awards for best actor, best actress and best director. Millions of people watch the awards every year to find out who the winners are.
