This is Europes first hotel floor dedicated（专用的）entirely to womenand according to the hotels CEO Arne Bang Mikkelsen, it is designed by women, for women.“Womens hotel preferences（偏爱）are very different from mens with key priorities（优先考虑的事）being to feel safe and fortable. When men e into a hotel room, the first thing they do is check the view, turn on the TV, plug in their puter, and check out the fridge. Women, on the other hand, go straight to the bathroom. Does it smell nice? Is it clean? Does it have a nice bathtub and shower?”Unlike other hotels, it seemed like someone actually thought about what women wanted. To get it right, the hotel asked a number of women what they wanted, and added to their list of things like cleanliness, a nice bathroom, high-powered hairdryers, steam irons, cosmetic mirrors, healthy choices on the room service menus, and full-body mirrors.It seems that they are helped by the boom（繁荣）in female business travelers. Global numbers are hard to get, but a research report shows women account for about half of all business travelers in the US in xx, up from approximately 25% in 1991.Places like the Naumi Hotel in Singapore, the Premier Hotel in New York, the London Dukes Hotel and the Georgian Court Hotel in Vancouver seem to be realizing the possibility in catering（迎合）for women.At the London Dukes Hotel, the manager says bookings（预订）for their “Duchess Rooms”，which are standard rooms with fresh flowers, fruit, and styling things, have increased 25% over the past year.21.We can learn from the text that Bella Sky Hotel _.A. is the first hotel designed for womenB. offers special service to women guestsC. has a big garden with all kinds of flowersD. can arrange rooms according to guests wishes22.

Gu also organizes a small workshop to teach knitting (编织) to children.Artist Wang Xuejun sets up a stainless-steel mirror at the malls gate leading to Zizhong Lu. Visitors, including men, are invited to put on lipstick and kiss the mirror, thus kissing themselves.The Beast Floral Shop, a flower shop in Shanghai, contributes two walls of flowers that are made into the shape of a book, named Kiss Book. Artifacts (手工艺品) of bees and butterflies are fixed among the blossoms, kissing the flowers. The work represents love and harmony in nature.Architect Ma Ke creates a Kiss Bridge with transparent (透明的) acrylic boards and ceramic（陶瓷的）fishbowls. Bridges are often spots for dating lovers in traditional Chinese folk stories and the goldfish in the bowls are witnesses of the lovers kisses.In the south plaza, an 18-meter-high interactive tree-shaped light equipment encourages people to kiss.

The 18-meter-high interactive tree-shaped light equipment will be on for each kiss.31.The article above probably is taken from a _.A. textbook B. science and technology magazineC. travel leaflet D. news websiteDBelow is a passage adapted from the network edition of China Daily.EventLi Yang, one of Chinas most famous English teachers, apologized for beating his American wife more than a week after she posted photos of her injuries on the web and set off a bomb of criticism.“I wholeheartedly apologize to my wife Kim and my girls for mitting domestic violence. This has caused them serious physical and mental damage,” Li said on his microblog at Weibo., the countrys most popular social media site, on Saturday. Li, 42, is a mechanics major but is best known for his “Crazy English,” a popular method of language learning that involves yelling at the top of ones lungs.He was at the center of public criticism after his wife Kim Lee put up posts on the web accusing him of abuse, showing her swollen forehead and knees.VoicesXuemanzi, angel investorAnti-domestic violence laws should be made as soon as possible, giving protection to the rights of women and children lawfully. Police should not stand back from domestic violence any longer, even if no one reports them. Society, as a whole, should attach greater importance to the crime.ZhangxiaomeiChinese are never taught about marital(婚姻的) relations, which mean not merely living together. A good marriage needs to overe three differences: family background, gender and personalities. In addition to these, there is cultural gap in Li Yangs case. If the effects of these differences are not well understood, after the honeymoon period, they will turn into conflicts and endanger the marriage. Lis domestic violence is a reminder that China needs such education.Wuxiaolong, Sina Weibo userLi Yangs choice to resort to domestic violence really reflects his character. Students who have attended his Crazy English Camp may know what I mean: Li wants his students to worship him as an idol. I still remember he once had his students kowtow（叩头） to him. He always teaches English by imposition(权威强制), which directly reflects his desire for power.Sikaozhe, Sina Weibo userIn the US, the punishments for domestic violence are even more severe than stealing. If the police arrive at the wifes call during a fighting between a couple and find injuries on her, they will immediately arrest the husband. Even if the wife doesnt call the police, they may also show up as neighbors could well do their part.ykxin Sina Weibo UserDont blindly worship anyone, because in every closet there may hide a skeleton. As a famous Chinese saying goes, “Only they who do well in their daily routine tasks can fulfills their dreams on great occasions”. Not surprisingly, one who focuses too much on his career and ignores his family, like Li Yang, will fail in both. Dont judge a person by his career success, wealth, or any other material aspect, because what finally decides a person is his character.Aftermath(余波)Although Li Yang publicly apologized to his wife, promising to love his daughters even if he and Lee divorce, the damage, perhaps permanently, has been done to his wife, his three daughters and the whole family.Wang Xingjuan, founder of the Maple Womens Psychological Consulting Center, a non-profit organization, said nearly half of domestic violence abusers are people who have higher education, senior jobs and social status. She said this was probably because such people were usually under more mental stress.32.This passage is focused on Li Yangs .Amicroblog article Bdomestic violenceCEnglish-teaching career Dinternational marriage33.Zhangxiaomei holds the view that .Alaws should be passed to protect women and childrenBcrazy personality accounts for violence and ill temperCovering background gap is necessary for marriageDLi is wrong to have his students worship him as an idol34.Who thinks that character plays the most important role in ones life?AXuemanzi BSikaozheCykxin DZhangxiaomei35.According to Wang Xingjuan, .Apeople of higher education wont easily lose temperBpeople under stress tend to have domestic violenceCpeople in lower social status often beat their wivesDpeople with senior jobs seldom have family trouble第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。How can we all get more laughter into our lives?
