14.Watching the Northern Lights shining on the sky's natural canvas may be on your list already,but be prepared to up the money.A developer is creating a floating,snowflaked-shaped glass hotel from which guests can stare in fear at the Northern Lights from their beds.The project is called Krystall.Eighty-six luxury rooms will be covered within a glass structure alongside conference rooms and a spa(温泉),all of which is only accessible by boat.
The stationary (静止的) hotel will be built near in northern Norway reportedly between bays.It will be constructed,in pieces,in dry docks,before being fit together on location.
Explaining the physics and design of the hotel,Kone Olthuis,Dutch architect and founder of Waterstudio,a specialist in floating structures,said:"The floating base is very big and because of that also very stable.You will not notice any movement.Different to any vessel (舰)this hotel is a floating building and will not move.The shape provides most of the stability but cables are used to take away any speed."
"Same look and feel as a land based hotel but then on the most beautiful spot on the water.The hotel is not connected to land so all the things will be provided by boats."
According to Mr Olthuis,who wouldn't tell the actual cost of the project,the budget is 15per cent more than it would have been if it were built on land.He said that an important thing to the hotel's construction was for its creation to be"scarless"on the perfect environment surrounding it.
"We call it a scarless development.If you take it away after a hundred years or so it will not leave any physical footprint.That is the only way to bring developments to such a valuable and beautiful marine environment in Norway."
It is hoped that the hotel will be"self-supporting sustainable"using top of the range technology,helping to support the"growing eco-tourism market."
"Dutch Docklands has learned to live with the water instead of fighting it,"the firm states."Floating houses are common in the Netherlands but we took that technology abroad and scale it up in size."

分析 本文属于议论文阅读,作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了一些开发人员正在研究建造一个可以在床上欣赏北极光的浮光酒店,文章中主要介绍了这个酒店的设计原理以及人们可以享受的服务,而文章的最后告诉我们漂浮的房子在荷兰可能更容易被接受,因为他们已经养成了适应自然的习惯.
解答 68.B 细节理解题,根据第二段A developer is creating a floating,snowflaked-shaped glass hotel from which guests can stare in fear at the Northern Lights from their beds.The project is called Krystall.可知 Krystall是一种人们可以在床上欣赏北极光的项目,故选B.
69.D 推理判断题,根据第六段He said that an important thing to the hotel's construction was for its creation to be"scarless"on the perfect environment surrounding it.可知 Mr Olthuis认为酒店更应该关注如何使酒店设计的更加环保,并且酒店周围的环境也要改善,故选D.
70.A 推理判断题,根据最后一段"Dutch Docklands has learned to live with the water instead of fighting it,"the firm states."Floating houses are common in the Netherlands but we took that technology abroad and scale it up in size."可知荷兰人已经习惯了依靠水生存而不是与之抗争,由此可知荷兰人已经养成了适应自然的习惯,故选A.
71.B 主旨大意题,通读全文可知作者在本文中主要向我们介绍了适合观看北极光的浮动酒店,故选B.
点评 考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力.做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
