【解析】

试题分析：人们旅行时似乎已经厌倦了炎热的海滩和像蒸笼一样的宾馆。瑞典一位商人Nile Bergqvist设计了一种另类的宾馆--冰屋。除了门是木头外，其它部分都是用冰做的，冰屋吸引了很多人前去体验。但是，在两周之内，一个冰屋就会化为一池清水。

【1】Built 过去分词做原因状语，故填Built。注意大写开头。

【2】will be In two weeks’ time表示“将来的两周之后”，句子用一般将来时态，故填will be。

【3】so 固定句式：so---that---，如此---以致于---，引导结果状语从句，故填so。

【4】which the present one是先行词，指物，后面用which引导非限制性定语从句，故填which。

【5】putting 固定搭配：spend---(in)doing sth.在做---上花费时间，故填putting。

【6】was removed 句意：当雪冻结的时候，底座被移走了。根据句意可知用一般过去时态的被动语态，故填was removed。

【7】congratulations 名词“祝贺”在句中用名词形式，故填congratulations。句意：收到祝贺。

【8】With 没有窗户，无处挂衣服和温度低于0°C，它可能看起来更像是一个生存考验，而不是一个放松的酒店休息。故填With。

【9】than 句意：它可能看起来更像是一个生存考验，而不是一个放松的酒店休息。根据more可知后面填than。

【10】if/though 句意：即使igloo只有10间房间,但这个季度它还是吸引了至少800人入住.even if/though即使，故填if/though。
