语 篇 提 能阅读理解AI was fascinated (着迷的) by the images of the eruption of the volcano in Iceland. Legend has it that the early settlers called the place “Iceland” to make it sound forbidding to their enemies. But for me its the fire that makes Iceland such a kick.When I first traveled to Iceland, the first thing that caught my eye was a cloud of steam in the distance. It was a geothermal (地热的) lake. I couldnt resist taking a dip in the mineralrich waters that had been heated by the primal (原始的) fire.Later I attended a horse show. Although it was June, it was cold. As horses walked in green fields, I grew increasingly uncomfortable. Finally, I lay down and curled up in the grass. Within minutes I could feel it warmth. But it was not coming from me. It was flowing up from below.On a day trip with an Icelandic friend, as we drove, he pointed out a rise of steam in the distance. “Thats Hveragerdi，” he said. “An important farming town.” Farming town? In Iceland? Well, there were no waves of grain, but there were greenhouses that grew tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers, etc. These were built over steam vents (蒸气裂口), using the free energy.We saw a burning pile of bananas outside one of these greenhouses. “Have you ever seen such a thing？” asked my friend. “No，” I said, “but in America theres a famous book that describes the burning of grapes during the Great Depression, because the price had fallen so low that it was cheaper to destroy them.” “Yes，” said my friend, “Thats the way it is here.”My friends home in Reykjavik was heated by geothermal energy. We enjoyed hot tea and sweet bread. “This is delicious，” I remarked. “Did you bake it yourself？” “No，” he said. “It comes from Hveragerdi. They put the dough (生面团) on the ground and the fires of the earth bake it overnight.”语篇解读本文介绍了冰岛当地居民使用地热的情况。1The author first experienced the fires of the earth in Iceland when _.A. he swam in a geothermal lakeB. he ate bread baked by the fires of the earthC. he tasted bananas grown in the greenhousesD. he lived in a hotel heated by geothermal energy答案与解析A细节判断题。由第二段中的“I couldnt resist taking a dip in the mineralrich waters that had been heated by the primal (原始的) fire”可知，作者第一次体验那里的地热是在一个湖里游泳。2How did the author keep warm when watching a horse show?A.
