Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel, the worlds first igloo hotel.

27、Built in a small town in Lapland, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over.In two weeks time Bergqvists ice creation will be nothing more than a pool of water. “We don't see it as a big problem,” he says. “We just look forward to replacing it.”Bergqvist built his fi

28、rst igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition. It was so successful that he designed the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base was removed. “The only wooden thing we have le

29、ft in the igloo is the front door,” he says.After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0, it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing hotel break. “It's great fun,” Bergqvist exp

30、lains, “as well as a good start in survival training.”The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms. “You can get a lot of people in,” explains Bergqvist

47、#160;      D. $ 41C Elephants dont forgetat least, female elephants dont. Elephant families are matriarchal. And the social knowledge gained by the oldest females is the key to a family groups survival, according to a study published in April by Karen McComb, a biologist at Susse

48、x University in England.Elephants announce their presence by making a deep, long sound, a practice referred to as contact calling. An unfamiliar call may mean that an elephant from outside the family group is nearby. A stranger can cause trouble, interrupting feeding or disturbing the young. So an e

49、lephant matriarch signals the family to gather around her; then they all lift their trunks in the air to smell the unfamiliar caller. False alarms can disturb the group and take time and energy away from feeding, so survival may depend in part on getting it right.Working with Cynthia Moss, who found

50、ed the Amboseli Elephant Research Project in Kenya 30 years ago, McComb tested the social knowledge of 21 Amboseli elephant families with matriarchs 27 to 67 years old. She played recordings of contact calls to each family and found that the oldest matriarchs were much better at picking out unfamili

51、ar calls. In fact, a group with a matriarch in her fifties was several thousand times more likely to form into a group upon hearing an unfamiliar contact call than when hearing a familiar call. However, families with younger matriarchs were less than twice as likely to gather together upon hearing a

52、n unfamiliar contact call as compared with a familiar call. And they gathered together a lot. Moreover, the social knowledge of older matriarchs translated into favorable results: Families with older matriarchs produced more baby elephants in each female-reproductive year.This finding shows how diff

53、icult it is to protect the oldest members of elephant families. As elephants age, they continue to grow larger, as do their much wanted tusks(象牙). So the older and wiser a matriarch is, the greater the chance she will be killed. About 800,000 elephants have been killed by people in the past 20 years

54、.63. What does the underlined word “matriarch” mean?A. An old member of an elephant family.B. A female head of an elephant family.C. A wise member of an elephant family with bigger tusks.D. An old elephant that is responsible mainly for reproduction.64. The research with recordings of contact calls

55、shows _.A. how fast elephants form into groupsB. how frightened elephants are when hearing a strange callC. how important the age of a leading elephant is D. how frequently old elephants call other members of the family65. We can infer from the passage that elephants may _.A. form into a group when

56、they see a familiar elephantB. produce more babies by gathering together more often C. run away upon hearing a strange soundD. run into other elephant families 66. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Elephants tend to form into a group on seeing an unfamiliar one. B. Elephants

57、 always lift their trunks in the air to smell each other in the family group.C. Younger matriarchs are better at recognizing unfamiliar calls than older ones.D. The older a female elephant is, the more likely she will be killed.
