There are many unusual hotels around the world. In Greenland, there is a hotel made out of ice, open between April and December every year. In Turkey, there is a cave hotel with a television, furniture, and a bathroom in each room. And in Bolivia, there is the Salt Palace Hotel.
Thousands of years ago, the area around the Salt Palace Hotel was a large lake. But over time, all the water disappeared. Today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts.
The larger of the two deserts, the Uyuni salt desert, is 12,000 square kilometers. During the day, the desert is bright white because of the salt. There are no roads across the Uyuni desert, so local people must show guests the way to the hotel.
In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel. He cut big blocks (塊) of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it. Everything in the hotel is made out of salt: the walls, the roof, the tables, the chairs, the beds, and the hotel’s bar.
The sun heats the walls and roof during the day. At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms stay warm. The hotel has 12 rooms. A single room costs＄40 a night, and a double room costs＄60.
A sign on the hotel’s wall tells guests, “ Please don’t lick the walls－it doesn’t taste good!”

小題2:The Salt Palace Hotel is unusual because __________.

Now satellites(衛(wèi)星)are helping to forecast the weather. They are in space and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere(大氣), because this is where the weather forms(形成). They send these pictures to the weather station. So meteorologists(氣象專家)can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare(比較)them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours .This may mean the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for 3 or 5 days. Soon, perhaps , they may forecast the weather for a week or more ahead(提前)
小題1:Satellites travel__________.
A．in spaceB．in the atmosphere
C．a(chǎn)bove the groundD．a(chǎn)bove space
小題2:Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because___________.
A．the weather satellites can do it easily
B．clouds form there
C．the weather forms there
D．the pictures can forecast the weather
小題3:Meteorologists forecast the weather________.
A．when they have received satellite pictures
B．a(chǎn)fter they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier ones
C．before they receive satellite pictures
D．while they study satellite pictures
小題4:Maybe we’ll soon be able to forecast the weather for _______.
A．one dayB．two daysC．five daysD．seven days or even longer
小題5:The main idea of this passage is that satellite is now used in______.

When we talk about intelligence(智力)，we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school．By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving(表現(xiàn))，especially in a new situation．If we want to test intelligence，we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do．
For example，when in a new situation，an intelligent person thinks about the situation，not about himself or what might happen to him．He tries to find out all be can，and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it．He probably isn’t sure how it will all work out，but at least he tries．And if he cannot make things work out right，he doesn’t feel ashamed(羞愧)that he failed，he just tries to learn from his mistakes．An intelligent person，even if he is very young，has a special outlook(看法)on life，a special feeling about life，and how he fits into it．
If you look at children, you’ll see great different between what we call “bright” children and “non-bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the some kind with different amount of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life-he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world: he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.
小題1:According to this passage, intelligence is the ability to _______.
A．get some high scores on some tests
B．do well in school
C．deal with life
D．have a lot of book knowledge
小題2:In a new situation，an intelligent person________．
A．knows more about what might happen to him

C．cares more about himself
D．keeps his mind on what to do about the situation
小題3:An intelligent person______sure how it will all work out.
A．is alwaysB．is never
C．may not beD．is hardly
小題4:If an intelligent person failed，he would_______．
A．try not to feel ashamedB．learn from his mistakes
C．try to find all he couldD．make sure what result he would get
小題5:Bright children and non-bright children________．
A．a(chǎn)re two different types of children

Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and one of the largest free-standing mountains in the world, and some say, the most beautiful place on the earth!
The mountain towers 15,000 feet above the plains. Mount Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania and it covers an area of 60 miles long and 40 miles wide. Kilimanjaro is an extinct volcano(死火山), with 3 peaks. Kibo is the highest one in the center.
Because of Kilimanjaro’s great height, the mountain influences its own weather. Winds incoming from the Indian Ocean are stopped upward by the mountain and drop their moisture(濕氣) as rain and snow. People have planted coffee, corn, and other crops on the lower slopes(斜坡).
Mount Kilimanjaro now attracts many thousands of walkers each year. Because of a temperature rise in recent years, the beautiful snow cap of Kilimanjaro is retreating(消退)fast. A research said that the white snow on the mountain might be gone in 15 years. What a pity!
