定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校四川省芦山县2016高考英语阅读类暑假选练题（4）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

BEIJING, July 8 (Xinhuanet)--- A new hotel concept has been realized

in a village in Northern Sweden, which aims to make the simple treehouse

become a world-class destination for travellers. The Treehotel, located

in a place called Harads, will consist of four rooms when it opens on

July 17th: the Cabin, the Blue Cone, the Nest, and the Mirrorcube.

Two additional rooms are scheduled to open in October. The long term

vision(想象) is even more expansive. “Our goal in five years is to have

24 rooms from 24 different architects,” says Treehotel co-founder Kent

Lindvall.

The first six rooms were designed by five different architects. The

Mirrorcube which stands four meters high and four meters wide, and the

walls of which are made with a mirrored glass, has drawn widespread

attention as it will be attached to a single tree. “It’s an

interesting building. You can’t find anything else like this in the

world today. It’s unique(独特的),” says Lindvall. “Everything will

reflect in it---the trees, the birds, the clouds and the sun in the

forest. So it could hardly be seen in the forest. This is untouched

forest and we want to keep it the same way.”

Lindvall says the Treehotel’s vision proves a powerful draw, with enquiries(询问) coming in from far and wide. “I think what’s exciting

here is that we’re just 60 km below the Arctic Circle. It means there’s

a good possibility to have the northern lights in the winter and of

course to have the midnight sun in the summer.”

The motto of the Treehotel is “Feel Free in a Tree” and expense will cost up to about $555.50 for two guests in the Cube, which is designed

to hold up to four guests.

47. The underlined word “expansive” probably means _____.

A. costing a lot of money

B. covering a large area

C. requiring knowledge and skills

D. increasing suddenly and rapidly

48. According to the passage, the Mirrorcube is a unique building

because _____.

A. everything can reflect in it

B. it’s large with plenty of space

C. there is a large mirror wall in it

D. it has limited effect on local wildlife

49. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The Treehotel is ideally situated to enjoy the natural wonders.

B. The Treehotel is a great base to explore the many local places of interest. C. Travellers can have a relaxed holiday at a reasonable price in the

Treehotel.

D. The six rooms of the Treehotel was separately designed by 6 different

architects.

50. Where can you most probably see the passage?

A. In a newspaper.

B. In a magazine.

C. In a website.

D. In a science journal.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。

I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It

was an eccentric(怪僻的)farmer. I had never met him before although I

had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he

had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even

then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very

bad accident. I hadn’t the slightest idea who she was but I obviously

had to go .

It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn’t know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He

was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had died. “She meant

more to me than anyone…even my own wife!” he said. I could see that

he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a

possible scandal(丑闻). I was even more shocked when he told me he had

put her in the barn(厩).”I wouldn’t leave her out in the cold!” he

said.

Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell

him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn

door .He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground.” She

was such a good cow! I wouldn’t let anyone but a doctor touch her!”

he said, and burst into tears again.
