A
Are you going into skiing? Is winter your favorite time of year? If you like snow and ice,
maybe you should stay at Ice Hotel in Quebec, Canada. But, you can only check in at this hotel
during the winter. Why? Because this hotel is built every December. It has 32 rooms and 80 people
can stay there each night. The hotel even has a movie theatre, art gallery, and church. Of course, all
of these parts of the hotel are made of ice. In fact, all the furniture, art, lights, and even plates and
drinking glasses are made out of ice.
Because this hotel is so unusual, it is becoming very popular. People from all over the world
come to the Ice Hotel to look at the fantastic ice art, drink and eat from designed ice dishes and
experience the unique atmosphere. Some couples have even gotten married in the hotel's ice church.
But all these guests keep their winter coats on! Because of all the ice, the temperature inside the
hotel is always between -2℃ and -5℃. Surprisingly, sleeping is not a problem in the freezing
cold hotel rooms. Every guest gets a special coldweather sleeping bag and some fur blankets. These
keep the room cozy until morning.
21.What is the best title of this passage?
A.What makes the Ice Hotel special B.How the Ice Hotel is built
C.Why the Ice Hotel is made of ice D.The services of the Ice Hotel
22.Why is sleeping NOT a problem in the hotel?
A.The rooms are warm. B.The temperature is -2℃.
C.The furniture is warm. D.The sleeping bags are warm.
23.What does the word “cozy” mean in the last paragraph?
A.cold. . B.dry. C.wet. D.comfortable and warmB
If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the
Finnish people are.
Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly highclass Benz with a fare of
two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say
that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver
would not show the least sign of anxiety.
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners.
Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals.
The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With
such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine
free of charge.
The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they
have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked
and they will be paid accordingly.
With so many loopholes(漏洞)in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who
love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come
back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been
found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours
they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has
turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.
In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against
others?
24.While taking a taxi in Finland,________.
A.a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi ride
B.a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to go
C.a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driver
D.a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration(证明)before they leave without
paying
25.We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland____.A.are mostly poorly managed
B.provide meals for any diners
C.provide free wine and charge for food
D.provide meal for only those who live in the hotels
26.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees
B.The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.
C.The workers are always honest with their working hours.
D.The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.
27.It can be learned that________.
A.all the Finns are rich
B.Finland has been a good place for cheats
C.the Finnish society is of very high moral level(道德水平)
D.Finnish people are not smart enough in daily life
C
Damage to Ozone Layer Gets Worse
In the middle of winter, when snow is falling in many parts of the United States. Scientists
have founded the sun this summer. The warning: The sun's summer time rays are more dangerous
than once thought.
A team of scientists from 80 nations recently reported to the United Nations that a layer of
ozone(臭氧层)in the atmosphere, which protects humans from harmful levels of ultraviolet(紫外
的 )radiation, will be thinner over the United States this summer. The thinner layer allows more
ultraviolet rays from the sun to reach earth. The extra amount of ultraviolet radiation could cause an
increase in the number of cases of skin cancer.
Scientists first became concerned about the ozone layer in the mid1980s when a hole was
discovered in the layer above Antarctic during the winter. The hole was caused by chemicals used in
refrigerators and air conditioners. When these chemicals are sent out into the atmosphere, they
produce gases that destroy the ozone.
Concern about the protective ozone layer rose more recently when data(数据)from satellites
and ground stations showed that ozone levels were dropping over areas other than Antarctic. Low ozone levels were recorded in the spring and summer over the United States and over other
populated areas in the world.
Although many countries have already begun stopping the use of ozonedestroying chemicals,
the new findings are expected to advance the timetable for a total ban(禁止)of the chemicals.
28.The ozone layer in the atmosphere can________.
A.protect humans from diseases caused by bad weather
B.do a lot of harm to human beings in the summer time
C.protect humans from harmful levels of ultraviolet radiation
D. do a lot of good to human beings in many ways
29.Scientists first found that there was a hole in the ozone layer________.
A.above Antarctic during the winter in the mid1980s
B.above Arctic during the winter in the mid1980s
C.over somewhere in the north of the equator in 1980s
D.over somewhere in the summer time in the mid1980s
30.The damage to the ozone layer was caused by________.
A.chemicals from refrigerators B.chemicals from air conditioners
C.the changeable weather D.ozonedestroying chemicals

Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience,there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often: ability,
money and time.__31__. Money is a topic I'll save for another day. So today I want to give you
some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips
for great cooking on a tight schedule:
1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and
there is nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook?
Do you have the right materials ready?__32__.
2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal,make the most of it and
save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? __33__.It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
3.__34__. This may surprise you,but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your
time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well
with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try,the more ability you have
to take control of your food and your schedule.
Hopefully that gives you a good start. __35__. And don't let a busy schedule discourage you
from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!
A.Understand your food better.
B.A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.
C.Ability is easily improved.
D.Try new things.
E.Cooking is a burden for many people.
F.Make three or four instead.
G.Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.
