  高考英语阅读理解练习题(二)

  雪屋 Holidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo. Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel, the world’s first igloo hotel. Built in a small town in Lapland, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over.

  In two weeks?time Bergqvist’s ice creation(作品) will be nothing more than a pool of water. “We don’t see it as a big problem,” he says. “We just look forward to replacing it.”

  Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition. It was so successful that he designed the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base was removed. “The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door,” he says.

  After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃, it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing(轻松的) hotel break. “It’s great fun,” Bergqvist explains, “As well as a good start in survival training.”

  The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms. “You can get a lot of people in,” explains Bergqvist. “The beds are three meters wide by two meters long, and can fit at least four at one time.”

  A. he believed people would enjoy trying something new

  B. he wanted to make a name for the small town

  C. an art exhibition was about to open

  A. hotel guests will be frightened at thought of the hard test

  3. according to the text, the first thing to do in building an igloo is ________.

  A. to gather a pool of water B. to prepare a wooden base

  C. to cover the ground with ice D. to pile a large amount of snow

  4. When guests leave the igloo hotel they will receive a paper stating that ________.

  5. Which of the four pictures below is the closest to the igloo hotel as described in the text?

  【答案与解析】这是一篇介绍度假雪屋如何应运而生的文章。

  1. A。由文中第1句 Holidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo. (那些对在沙滩上晒太阳或对过热的旅店房间感到厌倦的度假人现在去雪屋度假)可以推断人们总是喜欢新鲜事物,应选 A。

  2. B。这道题考查考生的思维能力和生活常识。既然是雪屋,总归是要融化的,所以第二段第一句话 In two weeks’ time Bergqvist’s ice creation will be nothing more than a pool of water 是对 soon the fun will be over 的诠释。

  3. B。文中第三段提及“6个工人花了8周时间将1000吨雪堆在木头基础上;当这些雪冻结之后,再将这里的基础移走”,可见应先准备木头搭建的基础。

  4. D。由文中第四段第一句话 After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success.(所有的来访者在离开之前都可得到一张记载他们在此生存成功的证书)。

  5. A。B 项不符合文意是因为它的墙壁上留有窗,C 项不符合文意是因为雪屋造好后未将基础移走,D 项不符合文意是因为惟一的木门不见,故应选 A。
