Question

The rising sea waters caused by global warming have inspired a Russian architect to design a hotel that could be built on water as well as land．The eco-friendly “Ark” could be constructed in just a few months anywhere in the world, the designer says．   
It’s called “The Ark”，but looks more like a ship sitting upside down on the water．A new design by Russian architect A1exander Remizov challenges the tradition of land-based hotel and would provide a shelter in the future—should the world face a modern-day flood as described in the Bible．
The building of the hotel could be fast and simple．“Prefabricated（預(yù)制裝配的）section could be put together in three to four months,” Remizov said． The versatile（萬能的）structure could be constructed in most corners of the earth, even in earthquake-prone areas．Constructing “The Ark"—which would include 14 000 square meters of living space???would cost roughly the same as building an energy-efficient house． The self-supporting structure would be built around a central post, connecting wind generators and heat pumps on its roof with the basement，where solar，wind，and thermal（熱量的）energy could be stored and turned into electricity． Remizov has designed the building without glass，choosing instead the lasting and self-cleaning foil（箔）that could defend itself against rough weather conditions．That foil would be fastened to metals，which would also collect rainwater．The building would also feature an indoor jungle, creating its microclimate．

   What is the main difference between the hotel designed by Ale Remizov and other hotels?
   1. A.
      It can be built on water．
   2. B.
      It is energy-efficient．
   3. C.
      It is eco-friendly．
   4. D.
      It has enough living space．
4. 4.
   What characteristics will the new hotel have?
   1. A.
      A climate with no rain will form around the hotel．
   2. B.
      The material can protect the hotel from bad weather．
   3. C.
      A power station will be built in the hotel．
   4. D.
      Bricks will be used as the materials instead of glass．

試題分析：本文描述了在全球變暖的情況之下，科學家為了挽救人們所設(shè)計的一種特殊的賓館，既可以在陸地上也可以在水上，文章介紹了相關(guān)的細節(jié)內(nèi)容。
1.C 推理題。根據(jù)第一段The rising sea waters caused by global warming have inspired a Russian architect to design a hotel that could be built on water as well as land．
和第二段should the world face a modern-day flood as described in the Bible．說明這個研究的目的為了挽救那些因為全球邊暖而而出現(xiàn)的洪澇災(zāi)害中受災(zāi)的人，故C項正確。
2.B 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第3段第二句“Prefabricated（預(yù)制裝配的）section could be put together in three to four months說明最短的時間是3個月，故B項正確。
3.A 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段第二行that could be built on water as well as land說明最大的特點是可以在水上。故A正確。
4.B 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)3,4,5行Remizov has designed the building without glass，choosing instead the lasting and self-cleaning foil（箔）that could defend itself against rough weather conditions說明是因為采用的材料能夠保護賓館不受不好的天氣的影響，故B正確，
