In Greenland, there is a hotel made out of ice. In Turkey, there is a cave hotel. 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. In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel. He cut big blocks 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 and the beds.The sun heats the walls and roof during the day. So the rooms stay warm at night, though its cold outside in the desert. The hotel has twelve rooms. A single room costs $40 a night, and a double room $60. A sign on the hotels wall tells guests, Please dont lick (舔) the walls.41 Where did the salt for the hotel come from? A. A cave. B. The lake. C. The salt desert. D. A salt field.42. What did Juan Quesada do in the early 1990s? A. He discovered the desert. B. He visited the palace. C. He built the hotel. D. He worked as a tour guide.43. What keeps the rooms in the Salt Palace Hotel warm at night? A. The water in the lake. B. The sand in the desert. C. The furniture in the rooms. D. The heat from the walls and roof.44.

But for a small country it has a surprising range of climate. People who have never visited England, or who have visited only one part of it, often make the mistake of thinking that it is a cold wet country. Except for the summer months of June to September, this is probably true of the north of England and the Midlands. In the south, however, the climate is much more pleasant. One result is that when people retire from a job in the north they often prefer to move down to the milder south.Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the south-west, which consists of the counties of Devon and Cornwall. The warm Gulf stream flows across the North Atlantic ocean for the Gulf of Mexico and makes the coastal regions of the south-west quite warm. Palm trees, bamboo and many semi-tropical plants grow well in the south-west of England, flowers and vegetables ripen as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere. Farmers in the area obtain a higher price for their vegetables and flowers because they are ready earlier. In winter there may be several feet of snow in other parts of England but there will probably be no snow at all in the southwest. This may be one of the reasons why the southwest is one of Englands most popular holiday areas.49. England is a country _.A with a cold and wet climate B. with a surprising climateC with a pleasant climate D. with climates of various kinds.50 According to the passage, _.A flowers and vegetables from Devon are on the market one month earlierB farmers in the southwest grow as many vegetables and flowers as farmers elsewhereC people in the southwest have to pay a higher price for vegetables and flowersD vegetables in Cornwall ripen as much as a month earlier than flowers51 In the north of England and the Midlands, _.A it is cold and wet all the year roundB the climate is pleasant as a wholeC it is warm most of the time in a year D only the summer is not cold and wet52 In winter, people in Devon and Cornwall _.A. seldom see snow B. never see any snowC may have several feet of snow D often see snow D Dear Editor, I used to be a doctor in the childrens department of a hospital. Sometimes I treated children who had been poisoned by medicine for older family members. The children didnt know the medicine was dangerous; they just knew it tasted sweet. Children easily open the bottle that we now use in China.Some days ago I talked about medicines with an American. He showed me a sort of plastic bottle. The design was quite simple and Im sure our Chinese factories could produce these bottles. The top of the bottle licks but can be opened by pressing down on it while turning. This is difficult for most young children to do, though grown-ups can open these bottles very easily. Im certain that the expense of making such tops would be very small. As a doctor, Id love to see this done. And most parents would be grateful. Sincerely yours, Li Hua53. The writers job in the hospital was mainly to .A. treat sick children B. treat poisoned childrenC. give medicine to people D. give medicine to children54. From the letter we can conclude that .A. some children like to take adults medicineB. some adults medicines cause danger to children C. children like to take sweet medicinesD. all adults medicines are dangerous to children55. The doctor seems to be .A. happy about China s hospital B. amazed at what has happenedC. eager to disclose the factoriesD. anxious to solve the problem56. The doctor thinks that we should .A. learn from the AmericansB. buy this kind of bottleC. produce this kind of plastic bottleD. turn to Americans for advice57. The letter was written to the editor in order to ask for .A.money from the readers B. the plastic bottles from the readersC. advice from the editor D. support from public opinionEIn the atmosphere,carbon dioxide allows the suns rays to enter but prevents the heat from escaping.According to a weather experts prediction,the atmosphere will be warmer in the year 2050 than it is today,if man continues to burn fuels at the present rate.If this warming up took place,the ice caps in the poles would begin to melt,thus raising sea level several meters and severely flooding coastal cities.Also,the increase in atmospheric temperature would lead to great changes in the climate of the northern hemisphere.In the past,concern about a man-made warming of the earth has concentrated on the Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet.But the weather experts are now paying more attention to West Antarctic,which may be affected by only a few degrees of warming,in other words,by a warming on the scale that will possibly take place in the next fifty years from the burning of fuels.Satellite pictures show that large areas of Antarctic ice are already disappearing.The evidence suggests that a warming has taken place.This fits the theory that carbon dioxide warms the earth.However,most of the fuel is burnt in the northern part of the earth,where temperatures seem to be falling.Scientists conclude,therefore,that up to now natural influences on the weather have exceeded those caused by man.The question is: Which natural cause has most effect on the weather?One possibility is the behavior of the sun.Astronomers at one research station have studied the hot spots and “cold” spots,that is,the relatively less hot spots,on the sun.This seems to have a greater effect on the distribution of the earths atmospheric pressure,and consequently on wind circulation（循环）.The sun is also variable（可变的） over a long term.Its heat output（输出）goes up and down in cycles.The latest trend being downward is on the way.But that is only a imagination.58.The carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would_.A prevent the suns rays from reaching the earths surfaceB.mean a warming up in the ArcticC.account for great changes in the climateD.raise the temperature of the earths surface59 .Although the fuel is greater in the northern part,temperatures there seem to be falling.This is_.A.mainly because the carbon dioxide is risingB.possibly because the ice caps in the poles are meltingC.due to the effect of the earths climateD.partly due to the activity of the sun60.What does the underlined word exceeded mean?A.To be the same as.B.To be slower than.C.To be better than.D.To be bigger than. 补全对话(5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier（收银台）in her general store. 61 I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you. ”At first I was paid in candy. 62 I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a. m. to 7 p. m. My father helped me set up a bank account. 63By the time I was 12, My grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics（化妆品）. I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “ What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup（化妆）ideas. 64The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didnt need to be a Rocket scientistyou needed to be a great listener. _65_ Except they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.A. Later I received 50 cents an hour.B. Before long, she let me sit there by myself.C. I ended my selling a record amount of cosmetics.D.
