题目内容
3.A winter wonderland on the outskirts of Quebec City has become one of Canada's hottest attractions and most sought out accommodations.Guests stay close for warmth in sleeping bags on beds of ice,hats pulled over their ears to prevent frostbite,while sipping cocktails (鸡尾酒) in glasses also made of ice.A cool place to host a memorable wedding or for a romantic getaway,the Quebec Ice Hotel has attracted 600,000curious tourists,including 30,000who stayed overnight,since opening seasonally 11years ago.Like Victoria and Jeremy Martin,dozens of couples will exchange vows (誓约) this winter in a temporary church next to the hotel,made entirely from blocks of ice with seats covered in furs.
Average temperatures fall below minus 20degrees C (minus four F) in winter,but inside the hotel's 36rooms it is relatively comfortable.Thick walls of packed snow and ice act as an insulator,trapping body heat inside.Each room is uniquely decorated,using designs created by Quebec architecture students.Two hotel bars also sell special cocktails in ice glasses.
First-time guests of the hotel,however,are recommended to stay only one night as sleeping in sub-zero temperatures is not very refreshing.This year for the first time the ice hotel has teamed up with a brick and concrete Quebec City hotel to offer packages(全套服务) for one-night accommodations at each.Prices for one night only at the ice hotel start at 200US dollars per person.
The 3,000-square-metre (32,300-square-feet) buildings take six weeks starting in December to build,using 15,000tons of snow and 500tons of ice,at a cost of some 750,000US dollars.Eleven weeks after its seasonal grand opening,the hotel will close on March 27and then melt away with the arrival of spring.

解答 63-65 D A A
63 D 细节题.根据文章第二 段 dozens of couples will exchange vows (誓约) this winter in a temporary church next to the hotel,"可知婚礼经常在这个酒店举行,故D为正确选项.根据第二段中"A cool place to host a memorable wedding or for a romantic getaway,the Quebec Ice Hotel has attracted 600,000 curious tourists,including 30,000 who stayed overnight,since opening seasonally 11 years ago."可知,A、B、D均为错误选项.A错在630,000(应为600,000);B错在visit it each year(应是stayed overnight);D错在stayed open for many years(因为原文中的副词 seasonally,说明该旅馆只是季节性地开放.)
64 A 猜测词义题. 根据文章第三 段trapping body heat inside 可知厚厚的雪控制住了体内热量,故选A.
65 A 细节题.根据文章第三 段 First-time guests of the hotel,however,are recommended to stay only one night as sleeping in sub-zero temperatures is not very refreshing."便可直接知道,第一次来的客人只能歇一晚,是因为零度令人难以忍受.故答案为A
