17、ist is delighted with his new hotel,the worlds first igloo hotel.Built ina 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 (作品) will be nothing more than a pool of water. Wedont see it as a big problem, he says. W

18、e just look forward to replacing it. Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition.It was so successful that he designed thepresent one,which measures roughly 200 square meters.Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base:when the snow froze,the

19、 base was removed. The only woodenthing we have left 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(

20、轻松的) hotel break. Its great fun,Bergqvist explains,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 least800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms.You can get a

21、 lot ofpeople in, explains Bergqvist. The beds are three meters wide by two meters long,and can fit at least fourat one time.36.

29、 will attract many readers40. We can learn from the text that _.A. sports writers are a type of audience B. The New York Times is popularC. Denise Grady will discuss politics D. book reviews may affect book salesCThe discovery that language can be a barrier (障碍) to communication is quickly made by a

30、llwho travel, study, govern or sell. Whether the activity is tourism, research, government, policing or business, the lack of a common language can severely delay progress or can stop it altogether.Although communication problems of this kind must happen thousands of times each day, very few become

31、public knowledge. Publicity comes only when a failure to communicate has major results, such as strikes, lost orders, legal problems or deadly accidents-even, at times, war. One reported example of communication failure took place in 1970, when several Americans ate a species of poisonous mushroom.

32、Noremedywas known, and two of the people died within days. A radio report of the case was heard by a chemist who knew of a treatment that had been successfully used in 1959 and published in 1963. Why had the American doctors not heard of it seven years later? Possibly because the report of the treat

33、ment had been published only in journals written in European languages other than English.Several comparable cases have been reported. But isolated (孤立的) examples do not give an impression of the size of the problem-something that can come only from studies of the use or avoidance of foreign-languag

34、e materials and contacts in different communicative situations. In the English-speaking scientific world, for example, surveys of books and documents consulted in libraries and other information agencies have shown that very little foreign-language material is ever consulted. Library requests in the

35、 field of science and technology showed that only 13 percent were for foreign language journals.The language barrier presents itself entirely to firms who wish to market their products in other countries. British industry, in particular, has in recent decades often been criticized for its assumption

36、 (设想) that foreign buyers will be happy to communicate in English, and that awareness of other languages is not therefore a matter to be considered first. In the 1960s, over two-thirds of British firms dealing with non-English-speaking customers were using English for outgoing letters; many had thei

37、r sales language only in English; and as many as 40 percent employed no one who was able to communicate in the customers languages. A similar problem was identified in other English-speaking countries, especially the USA, Australia and New Zealand. And non-English speaking countries were by no means

38、 free from the same problem-although the widespread use of English as an alternative (可替换的) language made them a bit more able to communicate with other countries.The criticism and publicity given to this problem since the 1960s seems to have greatly improved the situation. Industrial training proje

39、cts have promoted an increase in language and cultural awareness. Many firms now have their own translation services. Some firms run part-time language courses in the languages of the countries with which they are most involved; some produce their own technical glossaries (词汇表), to ensure consistenc

40、y (一致性) when material is being translated. It is now much more readily accepted that marketing efforts can be delayed, damaged or ruined by a failure to take the language needs of the customer into consideration.41. Communication problems may come to the attention of the public when _. A. somebody h

41、as died B. a serious traffic accident has happened C. serious results have been caused D. people have trouble in travelling42. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 2? A. doctor B. mushroom C. poison D. treatment43. What can we infer about American doctors from th

42、e case of the poisonous mushrooms? A. They probably only read reports written in English. B. They hadnt read that report of the treatment. C. They didnt know how to treat such a case. D. They were unable to get reports written in other languages.44. Firms of English-speaking countries use English on

43、ly when marketing their products because _. A. English is their official language B. they dont know their products will be sold abroad C. people in their countries dont know other languages D. they think foreign customers will be happy when English is used DMo wanted to talk to Terry at lunch time,

46、now. And anyway, Terry didnt want to be her friend ! Mr. Reed wanted her to look at him and nod if she saw that Terry was cheating in the exam. She was working on the last question when she saw that Terry had her phone under the table Without thinking, Mo looked up and nodded to Mr. Reed. Terry was

47、too busy looking at her phone and she didnt hear him as he walked silently up to her table. Mr. Reed didnt say anything. He jus picked up her exam paper, tore it in half and pointed to the door, to tell Terry to leave the room. Terry was crying as she walked to the door. Everyone was staring at her

48、and Mo felt really guilty now. Why did she tell Mr. Reed?Mo was walking towards the school gate, when she heard footsteps behind her. It was Terry. Mo, please wait I want to talk to you. Mo could see that Terry had been crying, her face was pale and her eyes were red. Mo couldnt say a word. Listen,

49、said Terry. Im really sorry I havent answered any of your calls, but were having a terrible time at home. My dad had a heart attack two weeks ago and hes in hospital. He had a big heart operation today and I was very worried about him. I know it was stupid, but I was reading texts from my mum to see
