Do you know that in some parts of the world, people build temporary(暂时的)hotels made of snow and blocks(大块)of ice? These are known as ice hotels.

Unlike usual hotels, all the rooms in the ice hotels are made of ice. In some ice hotels, even the glasses for drinks are made of ice blocks. So they only serve cold drinks. Also, hot food is not served in the ice hotels, but guests can eat hot food at places nearby.

To keep warm, guests sleep in comfortable sleeping bags on ice blocks that are covered by mattresses(床垫)and reindeer skins(驯鹿皮).

There are some places in the ice hotels that are heated, such as the bathrooms. This is because, even though it is not as cold in the ice hotels as it is outdoors(在户外), indoor temperatures are still very low.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about the ice hotels is that they are rebuilt every year. They can be used only during the winter months. The ice hotels melt(融化)away when spring arrives. The ice blocks used to build these hotels are from nearby rivers. So, when the ice hotels melt away, they melt back into the rivers.

56. According to the passage, ice hotels ______.

A. are found everywhere B. do business in summer

C. are made of glass D. are made of snow and ice

57. Which of the following about the ice hotels is true?

A. They are just like usual hotels. B. The glasses are made of wood.

C. They serve cold drinks. D. The rooms are made of bamboo.

58. You can’t see ______ in the ice hotels.

A. hot food B. reindeer skins

C. sleeping bag D. mattresses

59. Why are bathrooms heated in the ice hotels?

A. Guests want to eat in them. B. Indoor temperature are very low.

C. Guests ask the hotels to do that. D. It is as cold indoors as it is outdoors.

60. What happens to the ice h otels in spring?

A. They melt away. B. They are rebuilt.

C. They are repaired. D. They need more ice.

【分析】本文介绍了世界上的冰雪旅馆.这些旅馆是由雪和大块的冰制成的临时性旅馆.和普通的旅馆不同，这些旅馆中的房间都是用冰块制成的.喝水的'杯子也是冰块制成的.所以他们只提供冷饮.客人们如果想吃热的食物可以去附近的地方.为了保持温暖，客人们会在铺着床垫和鹿皮的冰块上的睡袋中睡觉.旅馆中，例如浴室，是可以加热的.关于冰雪旅馆最有趣的就是每年都会重建，因为春天冰雪旅馆就会融化，流入附近的河流，冬季的时候，再用附近河流中的冰块重建旅馆.

【解答】56.D 细节理解题.根据"Do you know that in some parts of the world，people build temporary(暂时的)hotels made of snow and blocks(大块)of ice?"可知冰雪旅馆是在世界上的有些地方有，不是到处都有.并且是由大块的冰制成的.故排除A与C选项.根据"The ice hotels melt(融化)away when spring arrives."可知冰雪旅馆在春天就融化了，故夏天是不会做生意的，排除B选项.故选D.

57.C 细节理解题.根据"In some ice hotels，even the glasses for drinks are made of ice blocks.So they only serve cold drinks."可知冰雪旅馆是只提供冷饮的.故选C.

58.A 细节理解题.根据"hot food is not served in the ice hotels，but guests can eat hot food at places nearby."可知热的食物在冰雪旅馆中是不会出现的，你可以去附近的地方去吃.故选A.

59.B 细节理解题.根据"indoor temperatures are still very low."可知加热浴室的原因是室内虽然没有外边那么冷，但是室内的温度还是很低.故选B.

60.A 细节理解题.根据"The ice hotels melt(融化)away when spring arrives."可知当春天来临时，冰雪旅馆就融化了，故选A.

Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plan. So airlines(航空公司)offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?

To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they don’t want to lose customers.

However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude(海拔)we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure(气压)reduces one third of the sensibility(感觉)of our taste buds(味蕾). So our tas te buds become senseless. The sad face, however, is that our noses don’t know it.

All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy(辛辣的)food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.

Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.

Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can’t deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.

61. In Paragraph 2, “this problem” means ______.

A. passengers stay long in the plane B. food on the plane tastes bad

C. passengers have no food to eat D. food on the plane is expensive

62. What do airlines do to solve this problem?

A. Get more customers. B. Offer more food.

C. Improve their food. D. Reduce the ticket price.

63. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces of the sensibility of our taste buds.

A. half B. one third C. one fourth D. one fifth

64. Why do scientists feel it hard to made food on the plane taste good?

A. The volunteers don’t know about food taste.

B. The volunteers don’t understand them.

C. They can’t find enough volunteers.

D. They can’t deal with the special environment successfully.

65. What is the best title of the passage?

A. Taste of Airplane Food B. Airplane Travel

C. Scientific Research on Noses D. The Change in Air Pressure

【分析】本篇文章讲述了一个问题--为什么在飞机上食物变得很难吃?科学家的回答是--由于海拔升高的原因，气压的改变钝化了我们三分之一的味觉，我们的鼻子变得干燥，对气味不敏感.这也是为什么飞机餐通常比较"重口"(偏咸且偏辣)的原因.科学家和志愿者尝试用一些方法改善飞机上的用餐，但由于气压的变化的原因，想要让飞机餐变得好吃还是很难.

【解答】61.B 词义理解题.找到原句To solve this problem，airlines try hard to improve their food.这一句说到"improve their food"，可以推测this problem是和food有联系的，可以排除A选项;根据原句前面一句But it is common that they feel bad about food taste.Do you agree?可知是"食物很难吃"，因此答案为B.

62.C 推理判断题.根据To solve this problem，airlines try hard to improve their food.可知，为了解决食物难吃这个问题，航空公司努力改善他们的食物，故选C.

63.B 细节理解题.根据第三段句子 the change in air pressure(气压)reduces one third of the sensibility(感觉)of our taste buds(味蕾)可知，气压的变化减弱了我们三分之一的味觉.故选B

64.D 推理判断题.仔细理解最后一段内容可知，Though scientists try their best，it is not as easy as they thought.Because they can't deal with the special environment successfully，such as the change in air pressure，making food taste good is still hard for them.科学家认为要解决这个问题不容易的原因是他们无法成功地处理这种特殊的环境，比如气压的改变.因此答案为D.

65.A 内容归纳题.本文主要讲了"飞机餐为什么难吃"，因此答案为A.

高考英语阅读专题训练

在日常学习和工作生活中，我们都可能会接触到试题，借助试题可以检测考试者对某方面知识或技能的掌握程度。一份好的试题都具备什么特点呢？以下是我收集整理的高考英语阅读专题训练，仅供参考，欢迎大家阅读。

Today I’ll be talking about the invention of the camera and photography. The camera is often thought to be a modern invention, but as early as 1727, a German physicist discovered that light darkens silver salt. Used as a camera, a big box was set up, and a small hole was cut in one side to let the light in; he made temporary pictures on the salt. Silver salt is still the base of the photographic film today. Then a French scientist made the first permanent (永久的`) picture by using a special piece of metal which was covered with silver salt. A photograph he made in 1826 still exists.

The painter De Gear improved the process (制作法) by covering the metal also with placing the common salt which we can eat. This was in 1839, the official date of beginning of photographs. But the problem was the printing of the photographs. And it wasn’t until other scientists developed the kind of photographic paper we now use that good prints were possible and photography became truly modern. In the 1870’s, Matthew Bradey was able to take his famous pictures in American Civil War. In the 20’s of this century, Georges Mann of the United States simplified film developing (冲洗), and Dr Edward Lane invented the so—called ‘Instant Camera’ which uses self—developing film. If we say photography came into existence in 1839, it follows that it took more than 100 years for the camera to reach its present condition of technical refinement(密度).

1. What discovery was the basis of photography?

A. Light darkens silver salt. B. Light darkens natural salt.

C. Light darkens silver. D. Light darkens self--developing film

2. How was the first permanent picture made?

A. By making use of special paper. B. By adding common salt to silver salt.

C. By giving a slight colour to the silver salt. D. By using a special piece of metal.

3. What does the speaker regard as the official date of beginning of photography?

A. 1727 B. 1826 C. 1839 D. 1870

4. According to the speaker why is Matthew Bradey remembered today?

A. He was a soldier. B. He took war photographs.

C. He painted portraits. D. He designed a portable camera.

5. What did Doctor Edward Lane invent?

A. A cheap process of developing film at home.

B. A new kind of film.

C. An automatic printer.

D. An ‘instant camera’ that develops its own film.

The fiddler crab (蟹) is a living clock. It indicates(=shows) the time of day by the colour of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night. The crab’s changing colour follows a regular twenty—four hour plan that exactly matches the daily rhythm (节奏) of the sun.

Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply answer to the sun’s rays, changing colour according to the amount of light strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months. Even without daylight, the crab’s skin colour continued to change exactly on time.

This characteristic (特性) probably developed gradually in answer to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies. After millions of years it has become completely regulated (受控制) inside the living body of the crab.

The biologists noticed that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before. From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides (潮水). The crab’s period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was cought!

1. The fiddler crab is like a clock because it changes colour ______.

A in a regular 24—hour rhythm B. in answer to the sun’s rays

C. at low tide D. every fifty minutes

2. The crab’s changing colour ______.

A. tells the crab what time it is B. protects the crab from the sunlight and enemies

C. keeps the crab warm D. is of no real use

3. When the fiddler crabs were kept in the dark , they ______.

A. did not change colour B. changed colour more quickly

C. changed colour more slowly D. changed colour on the same timetable

4. The crab’s colour—changing ability was probably developed ______.

A. in the process of evolution (进化) B. over millions of years

C. by the work of biologists D. both A and B

5. The best title for this selection would be ______.

A. The Sun and the Tides B. Discoveries in Biology

C. A scientific Study D. A Living Clock
