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.
小题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.
小题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
小题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.

小题1:A
小题2:C
小题3:B

小题1:细节题。由第三段第二句It melts(融化) in the summer and is rebuilt each winter.这个酒店在夏天就融化了,每个冬天就重新建造。可知,答案选A.
小题2:推断题。由第二段大意可推断出,这个酒店除了是由冰建成的,其他的服务和通常酒店是一样的。故选C
小题3:主旨题。这篇文章介绍了位于北极圈附近的一个与众不同的酒店。本题可根据上下文,由排除法得出,答案选B.

The poor are very wonderful people. One evening we went out and picked up four people from the street. One of them was in a most  15  condition, and I told the others: You look after the other three.

Like an angel---this is the 24  of our people.
