Question

【题目】 Finland（芬兰） isn’t on the North Pole and isn’t always covered by snow. Finland is actually covered by forests and lakes. There are plenty of reindeer living in the forest and there is a wonderful tradition of making wooden toys, so maybe Father Christmas keeps a factory in Finland. In summer, kids can enjoy long, long days that never end——the nights never really get dark. The following are some interesting things to do in Helsinki, the capital of Finland.

Market Square

Start your visit at the open-air market at Market Square on the South Harbor. In summer, you can watch people selling fish and potatoes from their boats, eat a bag of fresh strawberries, or a sandwich from the Old Market Hall and sit out on the stone dock（码头） to watch the boats coming and going.

Take a boat ride

From the Market Square, there are four or five possible boat rides. You can take a boat to travel around the islands of Helsinki. Or, you can take a water bus to Helsinki Zoo.

Seurasaari

Seurasaari is only minutes from the center of Helsinki. Once you cross the bridge to the island, you’ll find yourself in 18th and 19th century Finland.

【3】C

【解析】

本文主要向我们介绍了芬兰这个国家，它实际上被森林和湖泊覆盖着。森林里有许多驯鹿，它有着制作木制玩具的绝妙传统。下文具体介绍了它的首都城市赫尔辛基一些有趣的东西：市场广场，乘船旅行，伴侣岛。

【1】细节理解题。根据第一段“Finland is actually covered by forests and lakes”芬兰实际上被森林和湖泊覆盖着。故选D。

【2】词义理解题。根据第一段“Finland is actually covered by forests and lakes”芬兰实际上被森林和湖泊覆盖着；后文in the forest在森林里，故推测它是生活在森林里的一种动物，故选B。

【3】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Seurasaari is only minutes from the center of Helsinki. Once you cross the bridge to the island, you’ll find yourself in 18th and 19th century Finland. Seurasaari”离赫尔辛基中心只有几分钟的路程。一旦你过桥到岛上，你就会发现自己在18世纪和19世纪的芬兰。可知Seurasaari感觉像以前的芬兰。故选C。
