課時提能練(十七).閱讀理解(2019·貴陽適應(yīng)性考試)A“Game of Thrones”themed hotel made just of snow and ice has been finished in Lapland，F(xiàn)inland.Located in the resort of Kittila，which is 200 kilometers above the Arctic Circle and around 90 minutes from Helsinki，the destination is made up of 24 rooms10 of which are suites for guests staying overnight.Temperatures reach5 inside，so high­quality thermal (保暖的) sleeping bags are on hand to keep guests warm，as well as a hot berry juice in the morning.Although it's recommended that guests stay at the hotel for a maximum of one night due to the icy conditions，there are warm log cabins available should they wish to extend their stay in the SnowVillage.Guests can also visit a restaurant，cinema，chapel and bar，all made entirely of snow and ice.Guests also receive a guided tour inside the SnowVillage，a buffet breakfast in the log restaurant，and a diploma to commemorate their stay.Travelers can book an overnight visit at the snow hotel or simply take a day trip to the SnowVillage，which covers an area of about 20，000 square meters.The village is open for visitors daily and has a cinema，a chapel，an arctic bar that serves drinks in glasses carved from ice，and a restaurant with frozen dining furniture and a menu featuring reindeer(馴鹿) steak.While it's been constructed yearly since 2000，this is the first time the SnowVillage has included a “Game of Thrones” themed section.Kittila is also a great location to view the Northern Lights，and SnowVillage offers snowmobile safaris(觀獸旅行) where guests can try to catch a glimpse of Greenland's natural phenomena，as well as activities like reindeer­sledding and ice­sculpting classes.【語篇解讀】本文主要介紹了芬蘭一家特色主題旅館。1What can we learn about the themed hotel from the first paragraph?AIt is 200 kilometers from Helsinki.BIt is 110 kilometers from the Arctic Circle.CIt is in the resort of Kittila.DIt is made up of 34 rooms.C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句“Located in the resort of Kittila，which is 200 kilometers above the Arctic Circle and around 90 minutes from Helsinki，the destination is made up of 24 rooms10 of which are suites for guests staying overnight”可知，這家特色主題旅館坐落于Kittila旅游勝地內(nèi)，故選C。2What does the underlined word “commemorate”mean in Paragraph 2?Aprove Bcomfort Ccover DpayA詞義猜測題。根據(jù)語境并結(jié)合畫線詞所在句中的a diploma可推知，此處的commemorate與A項含義相近，故選A。3What is the area of the SnowVillage?A2，000 square meters.
