根据短文内容,从每小题A、B、C三个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
   There are many unusual hotels around the world. In Greenland, there is a hotel made out of ice, open between April and December every year. In Turkey, there is a cave hotel with a television, furniture, and a bathroom in each room. And in Bolivia, there is the Salt Palace Hotel.
Thousands of years ago, the area around the Salt Palace Hotel was a large lake. But over time, all the water disappeared. Today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts.
   The larger of the two deserts, the Uyuni salt desert, is 12,000 square kilometers. During the day, the desert is bright white because of the salt. There are no roads across the Uyuni desert, so local people must show guests the way to the hotel.
   In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel. He cut big blocks (块) of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it. Everything in the hotel is made out of salt: the walls, the roof, the tables, the chairs, the beds, and the hotel's bar.
   The sun heats the walls and roof during the day. At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms stay warm. The hotel has 12 rooms. A single room costs$40 a night, and a double room costs$60.
   A sign on the hotel's wall tells guests, “ Please don't lick the walls-it doesn't taste good!”

阅读材料,完成下列要求。

材料一:明中后期,徽州“贾人几遍天下”,“不知贸迁”而贫困者受到鄙视。福建各地出产的绸、纱绢、铁、纸张、糖及荔枝,柑橘,“下吴樾如流水。”景德镇的陶瓷、潮州的锦、漳州的纱绢、松江的棉布、杭州所产的金箔及胭脂,行销日本。明后期付元在《论开洋禁书》中说: “西洋(今泰国,柬埔寨等地)的苏木、胡椒、犀角、象牙皆中国所需要;”占有吕宋(今菲 律宾)的葡萄牙、西班牙人,好中国绫罗绸缎。潮州丝在原产地一斤值白银一两,运送其地则得价二倍。直至十九世纪初,中国手工品在东南亚与东亚地区都保持其影响力。1571-1821 年间, 从美洲运往马尼拉的白银共计4亿西元(比索),其中二分之一或更多一些,流入了中国。

材料二:欲攘外,亟需自强;欲自强,必先致富;欲致富,必首在振工商。……洋货入中国则输半税,土货出外洋则加重征,华商安得不困,洋商安得不丰。倘有贤能督抚大臣,洞明厉害本原,奏请将厘金概行豁免,何至华商受其害而洋商独收其利也哉?……我之商务一日不兴, 则彼之贪谋则一日不辍。纵令猛将如云,舟师林立,而彼族谈笑而来,鼓舞而去,称心餍欲, 孰得而谁何之哉?吾故得以一言断之曰:“习兵战,不如习商战.”独是商务之盛衰,不仅关物 产之多寡,尤必视工艺之巧拙,有工以翼商,则拙者可巧,粗者可精。……第商务之战,既应藉官力为护持,而工艺之兴,尤必藉官权为振作。

——郑观应《盛世危言》

材料三:资产阶级,由于开拓了世界市场,使一切国家的生产和消费都成为世界性的了……古老的民族工业被消灭了,并且每天都还在被消灭了。它们被新的工业排挤掉了,新的工业建立已经成为一切文明民族的生命攸关的问题……过去那种地方和民族自给自足和闭关自守状态, 被民族的各方面的互相来往和各方面的互相依赖所替代了。

——马克思、恩格斯:《共产党宣言》
