▍原文 Iceland's frozen, inhospitable winters have long protected it from mosquitoes, but that may be changing. This week, scientists announced the discovery of three mosquitoes — marking the country’s first confirmed finding of these insects in the wild. As climate change accelerates, bringing more heat, storms and floods, the range of these disease-carrying insects is increasing, according to a growing body of research. Rising temperatures also allow mosquitoes to grow faster and live longer. ▍語言點 1. inhospitable /ˌɪnhɑːˈspɪtəbl/ adj. 不適宜居住的，條件惡劣的 · 詞根hospit-與招待，住宿有關 2. protect A from B 保護A免受B的侵害 3. mark /mɑːrk/ v. 標志著，意味著 4. confirmed finding 經過科學驗證確鑿無疑的發現 · confirmed adj. 被確認的 5. in the wild 在野外 6. disease-carrying insect 病媒昆蟲 7. body of something 大量的某物 搜索【友鄰優課】微信小程序，收聽晨讀即可領取： 《晨讀短文100篇電子資料》 · 關注公眾號【夏說英文日讀】，夏鵬老師送你2份...
