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

【考点】科普知识类阅读;内容归纳;文中细节.

【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.

Soon after that he died. Now, the old man had seventeen camels, and the three brothers didn't know how to do as their father said. They thought a long time about the problem, and it seemed that they must either kill some of the camels and cut them into pieces, or disobey their father. At last they went to their father's old friend and asked for his advice. As soon as he heard their story, he said, "I will help you. I was a good friend of your father's. I am old. I have only one camel, but take it-it is yours." The three sons thanked the old man and took his camel. Now they found it was easy to do as their father wished, The oldest took half- that was nine camels; the second took one-third, that was six; and the youngest took one-ninth, that was two. After each had got his camels, they found that there was still a camel there. So, to show their thanks to their father's friend, they gave the camel back to him 41.

After he bought them, he went into a restaurant and sat down at a table. When he looked around, he saw some old people put glasses on before reading their newspapers. So after lunch he decided to go to a shop to buy himself one pair, too. He walked along the road, and soon found a shop. The man in the shop let him try on a lot of glasses, but Tom always said, "No, I can't read with these." The man became puzzled (迷惑的) , and he said, "Excuse me, but can you read?" "No, of course I can't!" Tom said angrily. "If I could read before, do you think I would come here to buy your glasses?" 46. Tom lived ______.

They can be found almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them. No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide if she loves you. She? Yes, she. The male mosquito doesn’t bite! Only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn’t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen. You’re different from the others! If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch(痒) on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. When the itch begins, she has flown away. And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, in a tree or on a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs. ( )51.All the people don’t like mosquitoes. ( )52.All mosquitoes like to bite people for blood. ( )53.If a mosquito wants to bite you, it means she is very tired. ( )54.The mosquito bites you too quickly and quietly to let you know. ( )55.The itch begins after the mosquito flies away. 51-55 FFFTT (12) Do you know why different animals or pests(昆虫) have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves. Some birds like eating locusts(蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest (收获)time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night. If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the trees. Have you ever found an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid(液体) when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over(散开), its enemies(敌人) cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all. ( )56.From the passage we learn that locusts________. A. are small animals B. are easily found by birds C. are dangerous to their enemies D. change their colours to protect themselves ( )57.How can pests with different colours from plants keep out of danger? A. They run away quickly. B. They have the colours much like their enemies. C. They hide themselves by day and appear at night. D. They have to move quietly. ( )58.Bears and lions can keep safe because________. A. they have the colours much like the trees B. they move quietly C. they like brown and grey colours D. they live in forests ( )59.Why can the kind of fish live up to now? A. Because it is very big and strong. Because the liquid it sends out can help it escape from its enemies. B. Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies. C. Because it swims faster than any other fish. ( )60.Which is the best title for this passage? A. The Change of Colours for Animals and Pests. B. Colours of Different Animals and pests. C. The Main Use of Colours for Animals and Pests. D. Some Animals and Pests. 56-60 D C A B C

Domestic airline passengers will be able to make phone calls and send e-mails from the sky from next year, a local carrier has said.Shenzhen Airlines said on Monday it has signed an agreement with Geneva-based On-Air to provide passengers with in-flight communications services on all its planes by the end of 2009. The service will be introduced on three aircraft ahead of the 2008 Olympics, on two routes----from Shenzhen to Beijing and Shenzhen to Shanghai, the airline said.Passengers will be able to use their own electronic devices to send e-mails and short messages, make calls and surf the Internet, it said. The service is expected to be of particular interest to business travelers.According to a survey at the end of last year, China had 4.55 million mobile-phone subscribers. Ninety-three percent of those polled said they wished they could send and receive e-mails and messages while on a plane.Despite the introduction of the new service, passengers will still be prevented from using their cell phones and laptops when the plane is taking off and landing, or flying at less than 3,000 m above sea level, the official said.The official said the new service would not lead to an increase in ticket prices, but users of Chinese mobile-phone services will be charged the international roaming rate for any calls made from the sky.Shenzhen Airlines is the first Chinese carrier to provide such in-flight communications services. Its president, Li Kun, said installing the facilities will cost 4.5 million yuan ($596,000) per aircraft. However, the project still needs to be approved by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, a source said.52. According to the report, passengers can on the plane by the end of 2009.A. make phone calls B. surf the Internet C. send short messages D. all of the above53. We can learn that the new service will be introduced .A. on two routes B. in two cities C. after the Beijing Olympics D. on two aircrafts54. Passengers will still be prevented from using their cell phones in the following situations except_______.A. when the plane is taking off B. when the plane is landingC. when the plane is flying at less than 3,000 m in above sea levelD. when the plane is flying at 4,000 m above sea level55. It can be inferred that the new service will probably cause .A. higher ticket prices B. lower ticket prices C. higher cell phone fee D. lower cell phone fee52-55 DADC
