A
Are you going into skiing? Is winter your favorite time of year? If you like snow and ice, maybe you should stay at Ice Hotel in Quebec, Canada. But, you can only check in at this hotel during the winter. Why? Because this hotel is built every December. It has 32 rooms and 80 people can stay there each night. The hotel even has a movie theatre, art gallery, and church. Of course, all of these parts of the hotel are made of ice. In fact, all the furniture, art, lights, and even plates and drinking glasses are made out of ice.
Because this hotel is so unusual, it is becoming very popular. People from all over the world come to the Ice Hotel to look at the fantastic ice art, drink and eat from designed ice dishes and experience the unique atmosphere. Some couples have even gotten married in the hotel's ice church. But all these guests keep their winter coats on! Because of all the ice, the temperature inside the hotel is always between -2℃ and -5℃. Surprisingly, sleeping is not a problem in the freezing cold hotel rooms. Every guest gets a special coldweather sleeping bag and some fur blankets. These keep the room cozy until morning.

A.How the Ice Hotel is built
B.What makes the Ice Hotel special
C.Why the Ice Hotel is made of ice

37.What can't you do in the hotel according to the passage?
A.Watch a movie. B.Get married.
C.Eat an interesting meal. D.Go swimming.
答案:D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段“The hotel even has a movie theatre”可知,A項(xiàng)可以;由第二段第二、三兩句話(huà)可知,在冰雪旅館也可以吃飯和結(jié)婚,即B項(xiàng)和C項(xiàng)也可以;所以選D項(xiàng)。
38.Why is sleeping NOT a problem in the hotel?
A.The rooms are warm.
B.The temperature is -2℃.
C.The sleeping bags are warm.
D.The furniture is warm.
答案:C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段倒數(shù)第二句話(huà)“Every guest gets a special coldweather sleeping bag and some fur blankets.”可知,在冰雪旅館睡覺(jué)不是問(wèn)題是因?yàn)樗吞鹤佣际翘刂频摹?/P>
39.In which part of the hotel would you probably find “plates”?
A.The church. B.The restaurant.
C.The rooms. D.The art gallery.
答案:B 推理判斷題。由常識(shí)知,plates出現(xiàn)在餐館。
40.What does the word “cozy” mean in the last paragraph?
A.cold. B.comfortable and warm.
C.dry. D.wet.
答案:B 猜測(cè)詞義題。所在句前說(shuō),在冰雪旅館睡覺(jué)不成問(wèn)題,因?yàn)橛刑刂频乃吞鹤,這些東西能讓房間________。不難推知是溫暖。
