Unfortunately, the value of the written evidence is limited. Not a lot of evidence survives, and much of what we have is either uninformative or unreliable. Many popular ideas about Vikings are nineteenth-century inventions. Others are the result of early historians accepting sources which modern scholars now regard as completely unreliable. In Scandinavia the Viking Age is regarded as part of prehistory because there are practically no contemporary written sources. Even in western Europe, the Viking Age is often seen as part of the "Dark Ages", from which comparatively few historical records have survived.
Surviving accounts of Viking activity were almost exclusively written by clergymen (神职人员). These monastic chronicles (编年史) outline broadly what happened, at what date. There are also sources of a more directly religious nature, such as the much-quoted letters of Alcuin, and Wulfstan's famous "Sermon of the Wolf ", both of which chose to interpret the Viking raids as God's punishment on the Anglo-Saxons for their sins. Even the chronicles reflect the fact that the Vikings often attacked monasteries for their wealth, which created an obvious bias against them, and the hostile tone of these contemporary accounts has done much to create the popular image of Viking atrocities. However, modern historians have noted that the same sources show Christian rulers behaving equally unpleasantly, but without being condemned on religious grounds.
We tend to think of the Vikings as a race of Scandinavian warriors, but the reality is more complex. Raids on the British Isles and the coasts of France and Spain were the work of Vikings from Norway and Denmark. The word Viking means one who lurks in a "vik" or bay, in effect, a pirate.
The word "Viking" has come to describe a whole new age in Europe between about 800 and 1150. This is despite the fact that Vikings were not just pirates and warriors but also traders and colonists. But at the start of the Viking Age in the last decade of the 8th century, loot and adventure were the main goals of the Norwegians who raided in Scotland and Ireland and of the Danes who attacked England. Gold and silver treasures accumulated by the great monasteries could be converted into personal wealth and thus power, and captives could be sold as slaves. What better way for the young sons of good families to earn their way and see the world？

English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English, such as "me, you, sheep, and wood". Then the Vikings came into the land, bringing their own language into English. Some words like "sky, and skirt" are from Norse. Later in 55 B. C. , Julius Ceasar invaded Britain. Norman French found its way into the English language, making up the part spoken by the nobleman. The words like "royal, and government" were often spoken by the upper class. In over 15 centuries of development, English has borrowed from other languages massively, including Spain , whose language like "angel, and disciple" is often used in churches in Britain, and also Creek, and even Chinese and Japanese. It's said there are over one million words in the English dictionary.
As settlers established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language may run out of control, many native speakers of English disapprove of building the fence around their language. They take pride in both the tolerance of invading of other languages and the tolerance of changing their language.
Which parent language is English believed to descend from？
A．European parent language.
B．Latin parent language.
C．Indian parent language.
D．Indo-European parent language.

The journey to the moon has been the first step towards future explorations in space. The distance between the moon and the Earth is very short indeed when compared with the distances between Earth and the other planets. Mars, the nearest planet to Earth is of miles away ! Traveling to the planets or travels between planets will be man’ s next aim. Such travels will be more difficult than the trip to the moon and certainly more exciting.
Recently, two American unmanned spacecraft, Vikings 1 and 2, landed on Mars in an attempt to discover whether that planet had any life on it. So far the presence of life on Mars has neither been proved nor ruled out. Russian space-probes have discovered that the surface of Venus is so hot that it is almost certain that there is no life there. Also the atmosphere of Venus is extremely, dense and the pressure is nearly a hundred times greater than the pressure of the Earth’s atmosphere.
Scientists believe that in the future, space stations can be built in space. These stations can act as stop-over points in space. Spacecraft can refuel at these stations and get their supply of air, food and water.
Spaceships of the future will be bigger and faster. They will be able to carry passengers for trips to the moon or planets.
Man may in the future find planets which have the same conditions as those we have on Earth, and make them his home. However such a possibility is still in the distant future. At the same time, Man should realize that the Earth will be his only home for a long time and begin to value and care for it.
Which of the following statements is true？
A．Recently, two American astronauts have landed on Mars.
B．The surface of Mars is very hot.
C．The journey to the moon started the future exploration in space.
D．There is life in Venus.
