课时规范训练(单独成册) 训练(四十三) Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节) 第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。 (2016·河北衡水中学模拟)To American visitors，Iceland is a very interesting country，partly because it is different in so many ways from what he or she is used to seeing at home.There are quite a few things that are not done，or that do not exist on the island—quite a few “No’s”． There is no pollution，for instance.No dogs are permitted in Reykjavik，the capital.There is no television on Thursdays or during the entire month of July，and only three hours of blackandwhite TV the rest of the time.There is no hard liquor (烈酒) on Wednesdays and no beer at any time.There are no handguns，only one jail of thirtyfive cells (狱室) in the entire land—an admirable figure，even for a small country of 313,376 people. There is no army，air force or navy.There is no tipping for anything.There are no large stores open on Saturdays or Sundays.Since Iceland is situated just under the Arctic Circle，there is no darkness in summer and no daylight in winter.But thanks to Gulf Stream，the climate is rather mild，with temperatures ranging from 34 degrees to 52 degrees in July. The rules on television，liquor and guns are the result of government decisions.But the absence of pollution is due in great part to the fact that Iceland gets its power from the enormous geyser.They provide all the energy needed by the country.In fact，Iceland uses only 3 percent of all the available power of its hot springs. |
