Exercise 2 高考英语阅读理解练习

While visiting the North Pole in winter may not be at the top of your bucket  list，the ever-changing ICEHOTEL，which opened its doors to visitors on December 14 this year，may change your mind.200 km north of the Arctic Circle in the Swedish village of Jukkasjärvi，the hotel，which is carved entirely from ice，is rebuilt annually.

The 35 rooms，built to accommodate visitors on all kinds of budgets，vary from expensive suites to basic rooms that are furnished with just an icy bed and a reindeer skin.Among the highlights this year is the “Spruce Woods” suite.Sculpted by Christopher Pascoe and Jennie O’Keefe of Canada，it describes a camping scene complete with a classic microbus，a forest，and even an artificial campfire.

There is also the artfully-carved “Living Ocean” suite to remind visitors of the importance of saving our oceans.The room is full of carved sea life that includes coral and a shark “swimming” right over the ice bed.“The suite is inspired by global warming and the overfishing that affects our oceans，” says artist Jonathan Paul Green.“I also think the idea of using frozen water from a river in northern Sweden to create an ocean with shells，fish，and coral is exciting.”

The nearby “Haven” suite is a “magical gate of ice” guarded by two large animals.“We are inspired by the meeting between people and want to create an experience that stimulates curiosity and creativity，” says artist Jonas Johansson.“It feels like a dream to get to work with ice that allows our love for light，shine，and reflection to wander freely from thought to creation.”

Regardless of whether visitors select the carved suites or the basic ice rooms，the temperature is always set to a bone-chilling -5 ℃！That is why guests are advised to snuggle(蜷伏) up inside sleeping bags and wear gloves and winter hats all night.Not surprisingly，most end up spending just a single night at this unique hotel before moving on to the conventional and warmer hotels nearby.

Exercise 3 新题型写作练习

读后续写  阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

The day of the balloon festival, I felt as light as a hot-air balloon. This year I wouldn't just be watching. I'd be riding in Mr. J's truck, following the flight of the balloon and meeting it when it came down.

It was a perfect day. Dad and I drove down the road, looped(环状绕行) the lake, and turned into the field that was being used as a parking area. Dad pointed to the lake. "That's where you are to find the crew," he said.

We came to a stop and I got out of the car.

And then I saw it, a white bird with black stripes, brown head, and skinny legs. It screeched(尖叫) and thrashed(拍打) in the dirt in front of the cars that were driving downhills. Its wings looked broken. Suddenly it shrieked (悲鸣)and flew off.

“Dad,” I called, but my father was watching the balloons.

“It's a killdeer(北美喧鹆).” I turned to see a silver- haired old woman. “It has a nest here somewhere,” she said. “In the parking area?” I asked. She nodded firmly. “It was a nesting place before it became a parking area. No one told the killdeer about the balloon festival!”

“Jack!” Dad called “Isn’t it time you went down to meet Mr. J?”

“I have got to go.” I said. But the woman pointed with her walking stick. There, on the ground was a perfect clutch(窝) of speckled eggs, looking like pebbles. They were almost in the path of cars, trucks, motorbikes and stomping feet.

Screech! The parent bird was back, its wing all twisted again. “Jack!” Dad called again. “The balloons are ready to launch.”

“Dad! I am…” A truck roared over the hill. Brakes screamed dust flew. “What’s the matter?” asked Dad angrily from the truck.

Paragraph 1：

“Dad, I am not going,” I said.

_________________________________________________________________________        Paragraph 2：

Soon a ring of vehicles surrounded the nest.

___________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 1:

“Dad, I’m not going.” I said. “I have to stay here so the cars won't roll over the nest.” Because of so many things to deal with, my dad drove away to tell Mr. J. Then the woman reminded me that it was time to come up with a plan to protect the nest. Just then several cars pulled over. That was when a plan took sudden, perfect shape in my head. I ran over to turn to them for help. It was not long before they understood everything. More drivers joined in. They parked the cars in the way to protect the nest.

Paragraph 2:

Soon a ring of vehicles surrounded the nest. Nothing or nobody is allowed to get close to the eggs. All the morning we failed to take part in the balloon festival activities. By the time noon stirred a rumble(隆隆作响) in my stomach, the festival was over. People began to leave. When Dad came to pick me up, only the woman and I were stationed there. And, the killdeer, watching -over her eggs in the nest, perfectly safe.
