3.5 Canada—“The True North”
Ⅰ. 阅读理解
Never mind its name—as a travel destination, Iceland is hot! With the Atlantic Ocean to its south and the Greenland Sea to its north, Iceland is Europe’s westernmost country.
Most visitors’ first port of call is Reykjavik, a small and clean city known for its colorful and stylish architecture. The city’s downtown area is lined with shops, art galleries, cafes and bookstores. In 2000, Reykjavik was awarded the title of Europe’s City of Culture, thanks to its art and museum scenes and lively nightlife.
Iceland is one of the most volcanically active nations in the world, and there are a number of hot water springs around the island. All are heated naturally by underground volcanic activity. In fact, Iceland transforms energy generated(产生) by these springs into electricity. As a result, Iceland burns very little fossil fuel, such as oil and gas, and has some of the cleanest air in the world. One of Iceland’s most popular hot springs is the Blue Lagoon, a huge lake of bright blue seawater just outside Reykjavik. The Blue Lagoon receives more than 300，000 visitors a year. After a long day’s sightseeing or a long night of partying, visitors can relax themselves in the lagoon’s hot water.
One of Iceland’s most popular attractions is caving. Exploring Iceland’s unusual lava caves, most of which formed more than 10，000 years ago, requires only basic caving knowledge and equipment. Ice caves, however, are more challenging and require special clothes and hiking tools. The best－known ice caves are in Vatnajokull—a layer of ice which is Iceland’s and Europe’s largest glacier. It also happens to be situated just above an active volcano!
And finally, no trip to Iceland would be complete without a visit to the Golden Circle, a pathway northeast of Reykjavik that connects “Golden Waterfall”， the hot springs region of Geysir, and Thingvellir National Park. The mid－Atlantic fault(断层) that runs through Iceland is pulling the island apart. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Thingvellir Valley, where the land is actually separating and the stony ground beneath your feet frequently shifts(移动). Hold on while you hike!
