Stay in an Underwater Hotel room in Sweden(瑞典)

Have you ever wanted to take a break from the dry land？Utter Inn is giving people just that. It has a hotel room floating(漂浮) in the middle of a lake in Sweden.

“Utter” means “otter” in English—a small animal that lives in rivers and eats fish, and the hotel offers guests the experience of living under water. The hotel looks like a traditional Swedish house above the water, but 3 meters below the water, there's an unusual hotel room. The part of the hotel above the water is a toilet. Guests climb down a ladder(梯子) to get to the room below. It may be small, with just two beds and a table, but the room has windows on all sides so guests can see fish swimming past. But there's no shower or even electricity(电). Instead, guests have to use candles for light.

Maybe guests fear that they won't find anything to eat or drink when they live there. Don't worry. The hotel gives guests drinking water, coffee and tea. The guests can also bring their own food and drinks, or pay for dinner brought to them in the evening. One great thing about this hotel is that guests can also get a small boat to visit a nearby island. This is a wonderful island and no one lives there.

The hotel is floating on Lake Malaren in Vasteras, Sweden and is about 90 kilometers from Stockholm(斯德哥尔摩). Guests can arrive at the hotel by boat 1 kilometer from the Port of Vasteras.

Swedish artist Mikael Genberg built Utter Inn and it has been open for more than 20 years. The hotel is only open in the summer months, from June to August, and it costs $386 a night.

根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

26. What is Utter Inn?

A. A dry land.  B. A hotel.

B. Guests are allowed to bring their own food and drinks to the hotel.

C. There is an wonderful island near the hotel.

D. Guests can arrive at the hotel by boat 90 kilometer from the Port of Vasteras.

29. When can you stay in this underwater hotel room in Sweden?

A. In February.  B. In May.

C. In July.  D. In October.

30. Where can this passage be found?

A. In a storybook.  B. In a guide book.

Have you been to the Sahara? It is a dry world with less than 100mm rainfall every year. However, there is a lifeline through it in the areas west of the Nile in Egypt. In fact, the areas were wetter in the past according to a new study.

Savino di Lernia, a professor(教授) at the Sapienza University of Rome, studied the fossils(化石) on a 140­square­meter rock in the Sahara Desert. In fossils between 8，000 and 10，200 years old, around 90% were fish bones(骨). This shows the rock was close to a large lake.

The environment at that time was fit for humans. The Sahara even held large animals like elephants until about 5，500 years ago. It began to dry out around 7，400 years ago. In fossils between 4，650 and 5，900 years old, fish bones only made up about 48%.

The climate(气候)keeps changing, and the desert areas in the Sahara are even larger. The environment we live in is not always in its place. To fit us for the changing environment, we'd better take lessons from the early humans.

根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

31. The underlined word “it” refers to “____”.

A. the Nile   B. the Sahara

C. Egypt   D. Rome

32. How did Savino di Lernia tell the climate of the Sahara in history?

A. By studying the fossils.

B. By looking through the earlier study.

C. By studying the depth(深度) of the river.

D. By comparing the color of the rocks.

33. It was ____ in the Sahara 8，000 years ago.

A. warm   B. hot 

C. windy   D. wet

34. What can we learn from the third paragraph?

A. Large animals took the place of fish.

B. The lake dried up 4，650 years ago.

C. Large animals died from dry climate.

D. Fish was the main food for early humans.

35. What can we learn from the passage?

A. The Sahara was once a rich land.

B. The environment of Africa is worse.

C. The earliest humans were much cleverer.

D. Human activities have changed with the climate.

D
