Question

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(輕松的) 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.”

試題分析：本文講述的是一種新型的賓館，是由冰做成的。并仔細(xì)描述了這個(gè)賓館的具體的情況。

1.C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段前3行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.說(shuō)明很多游客都厭倦了以前舊的度假的方式，想要嘗試一些新鮮的事物。故C正確。

2.D 推理題。根據(jù)本句Built in a small town in Lapland, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over.以及下文的內(nèi)容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.可知，這些東西都是由冰做的，所以當(dāng)氣溫提高的時(shí)候，這些東西都會(huì)融化，成為一堆水。故D正確。

3.B 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第三段前3行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;說(shuō)明首先要做的事情就是建一個(gè)a wooden base，然后在上面建賓館等。故B正確。

4.A 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success.說(shuō)明他們成功地嘗試了這個(gè)新鮮事物。故A正確。

5.A 推理題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)2,3行With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃, it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing(輕松的) hotel break.和 “The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door,” he says.可知這個(gè)地方?jīng)]有窗戶只有木頭做的前門。故A項(xiàng)正確。BC項(xiàng)有窗戶，D項(xiàng)沒(méi)有木門。

考點(diǎn)：考查新聞報(bào)告類短文閱讀

點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文講述的是一種新型的賓館，是由冰做成的。并仔細(xì)描述了這個(gè)賓館的具體的情況。

文章基本上是考查細(xì)節(jié)題，對(duì)此類題型考生可以首先從問(wèn)題中找到關(guān)鍵詞，然后以此為線索，運(yùn)用略讀及查閱的技巧在文中迅速尋找這一細(xì)節(jié)，找到后再把這一部分內(nèi)容仔細(xì)閱讀一遍，仔細(xì)比較所給選項(xiàng)與文中細(xì)節(jié)的細(xì)微區(qū)別，在準(zhǔn)確理解細(xì)節(jié)的前提下，最后確定最佳答案。
