【解析】

文章大意：本文主要介紹了一個歐洲國家——冰島的面積、氣候特征、旅游業(yè)的發(fā)展及其曾經(jīng)面臨的食品問題。

【1】根據(jù)第1段中“Iceland is a European country.”講冰島是個歐洲國家，可知冰島在歐洲，介詞in后接European的名詞形式Europe。故答案為Europe。

【2】根據(jù)第1段中“Its total area is 103 thousand square kilometers.”可知冰島的總面積是103,000平方公里，結(jié)合題干中“103,000 ____ kilometers”可知此處缺少square。故答案為square。

【3】根據(jù)第2段中“In 1980, Iceland started to develop its tourist industry.”可知1980年冰島開始發(fā)展旅游業(yè)，現(xiàn)在是2020年，結(jié)合題干中“Forty years ____”可知此處是說40年前，用ago表示“以前”。故答案為ago。

【4】根據(jù)第2段中“They usually have a lot of special activities, such as skating, riding snow motorbikes and having parties to have an exciting night.”可知冬天人們會滑冰、騎雪上摩托和聚會來度過一個激動人心的夜晚，結(jié)合題干“They ____, ride snow motorbikes and have parties.”中and連接并列的謂語結(jié)構(gòu)，ride和have都用原形，可知此處要用動詞原形skate。故答案為skate。

【5】根據(jù)最后一段中“Because of a long cold winter, Iceland has a short growing season.”可知漫長的寒冬是冰島植物生長季短的原因，此處用growing與原文保持一致。故答案為growing。
