Hotels can make a person’s stay away from home as restful as possible. Hotels provide warm beds to allow guests a peaceful night’s rest. Besides, some hotels offer guests special services such as newspapers to read in the morning, fresh coffee, and even breakfast. Hotel workers want their guests to feel warm and welcome when they stay in their hotel.
One hotel near the Arctic Circle, however, is different. This hotel gives its guests a cold welcome. The Ice Hotel, in Sweden, is all made of ice. The Ice Hotel might sound strange, but in some ways it is a special hotel. It has a front lobby where guests check into the hotel, plenty of rooms to sleep in, and even room service, which guests can use to have food delivered to their rooms. The Ice Hotel is different, though, because most of the items are made from ice.
It takes more than 30 tons of ice and snow to build the Ice Hotel. It melts(融化) in the summer and is rebuilt each winter. Different builders and artists create the Ice Hotel, so each winter this famous hotel has a new shape and design.
The effort of building the Ice Hotel is worth it, however. Walking into the Ice Hotel is like walking into a diamond. The walls reflect even the smallest bits of light. Ice pillars（柱子）support the roof. The floor below shines like glass. Almost every inch of this hotel sparkles inside. Visiting the Ice Hotel is truly an unusual experience.
Temperatures inside the Ice Hotel are usually below freezing. Guests wear warm jackets, hats, gloves, and thick boots. Even the owners of the Ice Hotel know that staying in a building with walls of ice four feet thick can be a bit cold. They have a solution though. The Ice Hotel has a sauna for its guests. A sauna is a room filled with steam, where guests can warm themselves. In a way, then, one could say that the Ice Hotel does give their guests a warm welcome after all.
小題1:Why must the Ice Hotel be rebuilt each year ?
A．Because the hotel melts during the summer.
B．Because guests suggest changes to the hotel.
C．Because the hotel is damaged by the sauna.
D．Because more rooms are needed at the hotel.
小題2: From paragraph2 we can infer that ______.
A．the Ice Hotel has temperatures below freezing but is warm inside
B．guests of the Ice Hotel check in at the front lobby
C．the Ice Hotel is like other hotels except that it is made of ice
D．guests of the Ice Hotel may order food that is delivered to their rooms
小題3:What is the purpose of the writer writing the article?
A．To describe the temperature inside a hotel.
B．To give information about an uncommon hotel.
C．To compare different kinds of hotels.
D．To encourage people to visit hotels.

小題1:A
小題2:C
小題3:B

試題分析：這篇文章描述了位于北極圈附近的一個(gè)酒店，這個(gè)酒店是由冰雪建造而成，在夏天就融化了，每個(gè)冬天又重新建造，因而酒店每年的造型都有所不同。在這個(gè)酒店，溫度都在零度以下，所以你可以泡個(gè)桑拿浴取暖，你也可享受到一般酒店的服務(wù)。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)題。由第三段第二句It melts(融化) in the summer and is rebuilt each winter.這個(gè)酒店在夏天就融化了，每個(gè)冬天就重新建造。可知，答案選A.
小題2:推斷題。由第二段大意可推斷出，這個(gè)酒店除了是由冰建成的，其他的服務(wù)和通常酒店是一樣的。故選C
小題3:主旨題。這篇文章介紹了位于北極圈附近的一個(gè)與眾不同的酒店。本題可根據(jù)上下文，由排除法得出，答案選B.
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文對(duì)這個(gè)特殊的酒店描寫非常全面，對(duì)于說(shuō)明文的閱讀，學(xué)生要把握所說(shuō)明的核心內(nèi)容，文章往往通過(guò)對(duì)這個(gè)主題全方位的介紹而設(shè)置題目，所以學(xué)生可以首先對(duì)說(shuō)明核心的各方面進(jìn)行簡(jiǎn)單的瀏覽，而后結(jié)合題目進(jìn)行仔細(xì)的解答，即可迎刃而解。
