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.”5The author first experienced the fires of the earth in Iceland when_.Ahe swam in a geothermal lakeBhe ate bread baked by the fires of the earthChe tasted bananas grown in the greenhousesDhe lived in a hotel heated by geothermal energy解析：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 fire”可知， 作者第一次体验那里的地热是在一个湖里游泳。答案：A6How did the author keep warm when watching a horse show?ABy riding a horse in green fields.BBy lying down on the ground.CBy hiding in the heavy grass.DBy running after horses quickly.解析：细节理解题。由第三段中的Within minutes I could feel it warmth.“But it was not coming from me.It was flowing up from below”可知，作者躺在了地上，从而获取了地热。答案：B7Why did farmers burn bananas?AThey couldnt eat up them at all.BThe greenhouses needed heat.CThe price of bananas was too low.DPeople preferred grapes to bananas.解析：推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“because the price had fallen so low that it was cheaper to destroy them”可知， 农民们烧掉香蕉是因为价格太低了。答案：C8The purpose of this passage is to _.Arecall the unforgettable visit to IcelandBintroduce the origin of the name “Iceland”Cattract more people to travel in IcelandDshow how Icelanders use the fires of the earth解析：写作意图题。本文主要介绍了作者在冰岛体验当地居民对地热的各种利用，所以D项符合作者意图。答案：D7
