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. |

Dear Linda,
I'm glad to hear from you and I would like to be your pen friend. In your letter, you said you wanted to know something about my school life(生活).
I walk to school at 7:30 every morning because the school is near our house. When I get to school at about 7:45, I often do the cleaning with my classmates. After that we do some reading for half an hour. We have four lessons in the morning. I often have my lunch at 12:00 at school. We usually have two lessons in the afternoon. The school is over at about 5:00 and then I go home.
My favorite subject is Chinese. I like all the teachers because they are friendly. I am keen on sports and I enjoy playing football best. I'm a member of our school football team. What about your school life?
Best wishes!
Dick

Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The programme works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.
The eye-recognition programme is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon, this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.
However, scientists are working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.
Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the programme can be up to 94％ correct, depending on how good the technology is. Some programmes may only be right 51％ of the time. In Britain, it was found that 91％ of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition. In the future your computer will be looking you in the eye. So smile!
【小題1】How does the eye-recognition programme work?
| A．You write your number. | B．You show your ID card. |
| C．You look at the machine. | D．You say your name. |
| A．Because eyes never change. |
| B．Because hands or fingers can get dirty. |
| C．Because people like the idea of the programme. |
| D．Because the programme is widely used around the world. |
| A．the shape of your hand |
| B．the shape of your foot |
| C．your voice |
| D．your mark made by your finger |
| A．The programme is being tested in Japan. |
| B．Machines with other systems can also tell who you are. |
| C．91％ of people like the idea of the programme. |
| D．Computers can remember you by looking at your clothes. |
| A．Introduction to other kinds of programmes. |
| B．Advantages of the programme. |
| C．The places where the programme is tested. |
| D．The way how the programme works. |
“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the net．”
“I often check my e-mail forty times a day．”
“1 often spend more than three hours during one time on the net．’’
“I spend more time in chat rooms(聊天室)than with my‘real—life’friends．”
Do you know who like these? They are part of a new addiction(癮)called Internet addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week．The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug(毒品)use．People lose control(控制)of the time they spend on the Internet．

It’s a long-awaited day for China. The navy now has its first aircraft carrier(航空母艦), Liaoning.
It’s a unique experience to get to know the life in the carrier. The carrier is just like a small city on the sea. It has all the functions for daily life. There are 4 words to sum up its characters: big, small, much and high. The carrier Liaoning is such a huge one that the total length of the whole corridor（過道）could reach over 20 kilometers. But the living space for the sailors（水手）is quite small. That’s because the carrier is designed for researching purposes, rather than comfortable living. Over 1,000 sailors, both men and women, are living onboard. They are arranged among over 3,000 tiny rooms below the deck. For visitors, it’s so easy to get lost. So the first thing the new sailors have to learn is their way around. The number of female sailors is much less than that of the males, taking about 5 percent of the total. But they play a key role in carrying out some special missions.
Also, you will be surprised by the high level of education of today’s sailors. The captain said that over 90 percent of the sailors are college graduates. Six hold Doctor’s Degrees and 45 have a Master’s. The whole team is young but vigorous（朝氣蓬勃的）. The complex work on the carrier requires high management abilities for the commanders onboard(在船上).
1.Why do we visitors get lost easily inside the carrier?
A．Because they don’t have a map.
B．Because the living space is quite small.
C．Because there are too many corridors for rooms.
D．Because the corridor inside the carrier is too long.
2.What does the word “high” in Line 6 refer to（指代）？
A．The aircraft carrier is high since it is just like a small city.
B．Most of the soldiers received good education.
C．The expense（花費）to run a carrier is high.
D．The high-level of their training.
3.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A．Liaoning is our country’s first aircraft carrier.
B．Most of the sailors on the carrier are college graduates.
C．There are far fewer women sailors than men sailors on the carrier.
D．It is comfortable for the sailors to live in the carrier.
