Answer 1

分析 本文主要讲述了北欧国家--芬兰，芬兰有着丰富的森林和水资源，没有煤和石油，主要是靠森林来生产纸和制造家具以及水力发电．

解答 25．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．
26．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．
27．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．
28．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．
