BEIJING, July 8 (Xinhuanet)--- A new hotel concept has been realized in a village in Northern Sweden, which aims to make the simple treehouse become a world-class destination for travellers. The Treehotel, located in a place called Harads, will consist of four rooms when it opens on July 17th: the Cabin, the Blue Cone, the Nest, and the Mirrorcube.
Two additional rooms are scheduled to open in October. The long term vision(想象) is even more expansive. “Our goal in five years is to have 24 rooms from 24 different architects,” says Treehotel co-founder Kent Lindvall.
The first six rooms were designed by five different architects. The Mirrorcube which stands four meters high and four meters wide, and the walls of which are made with a mirrored glass, has drawn widespread attention as it will be attached to a single tree. “It’s an interesting building. You can’t find anything else like this in the world today. It’s unique(独特的),” says Lindvall. “Everything will reflect in it---the trees, the birds, the clouds and the sun in the forest. So it could hardly be seen in the forest. This is untouched forest and we want to keep it the same way.”
Lindvall says the Treehotel’s vision proves a powerful draw, with enquiries(询问) coming in from far and wide. “I think what’s exciting here is that we’re just 60 km below the Arctic Circle. It means there’s a good possibility to have the northern lights in the winter and of course to have the midnight sun in the summer.”
The motto of the Treehotel is “Feel Free in a Tree” and expense will cost up to about $555.50 for two guests in the Cube, which is designed to hold up to four guests.
【小题1】The underlined word “expansive” probably means _____.
| A．costing a lot of money |
| B．covering a large area |
| C．requiring knowledge and skills |
| D．increasing suddenly and rapidly |
| A．everything can reflect in it |
| B．it’s large with plenty of space |
| C．there is a large mirror wall in it |
| D．it has limited effect on local wildlife |
| A．The Treehotel is ideally situated to enjoy the natural wonders. |
| B．The Treehotel is a great base to explore the many local places of interest. |
| C．Travellers can have a relaxed holiday at a reasonable price in the Treehotel. |
| D．The six rooms of the Treehotel was separately designed by 6 different architects. |

科目：高中英语 来源：2013届江西高樟丰宜四校高二下学期期末联考英语试卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解
Kelly Reeves was getting ready for a trip when her phone slipped into a sink full of water. Panic moment! She quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on, but nothing worked. Her first reaction? She got dressed, drove to the nearest store, and bought a new model at full price.
A new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness. About 66 percent of those surveyed suffer from nomophobia or “no mobile phone phobia”. Interestingly, more women worry about losing their phone than men.
Fortunately, there’s a solution.
The first step is to figure out if you have nomophobia. Checking your phone too often is one thing, but the true sign of a problem is that you can’t conduct business or go about your routine when the fear becomes so severe.
Do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone? That’s another sign of a problem. If you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour, or a total of an hour per day, there may be a problem.
Some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks: Leaving the phone behind and not checking e-mail or text messages, and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety. Even if this leads to a high level of worry and stress, the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal with not having your phone.
Of course, there are also technological alternatives. Luis Levy, a co-founder at Novy PR, says he uses an application called Cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone. To find it, he can just go to a Web site and see the phone’s location.
He also insures his phone through a service called Asurion. The company’s description of its product reads like a prescription for anxiety: “60 million phones are lost, stolen or damaged each year. You’ll have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can quickly reconnect with family, friends and work, as soon as the very next day!”
1.Why does the author mention Kelly’s experience in the first paragraph?
A. To inform us that mobile phones are useful.
B. To introduce the topic for discussion.
C. To tell us we should get phones ready for a trip.
D.To warn us that we should be careful.
2.The underlined word “nomophobia” in Paragraph 2 means ________.
A. Fear of losing mobile phones.
B. Habits of using mobile phones
C. Independence of mobile phones.
D. Eagerness for new mobile phones.
3.Which of the following is a way to treat nomophobia?
A. Learning more about modern technology.
B. Avoiding using phone for some time
C. Not using a mobile phone in one’s daily work.
D. Protecting one’s phone against any damage.
4.Why can the service called Asurion help to treat nomophobia?
A. It will give you a new phone through insurance.
B. It lets you know other people also lose their phones.
C. It gives you a prescription to treat nomophobia.
D. It enables you to reconnect with your acquaintance.
5.What is the passage mainly about?
A. New mobile phone technology.
B. Attitude toward mobile phone.
C. Solutions to nomophobia
D. Disadvantages of mobile phone
