ARLANDA, Sweden （Reuters Life!）—Many people hate the idea of having to sleep on a plane. But Swedish entrepreneur Oscar Dios thinks they can be persuaded otherwise and he has created a new kind of hostel to prove it.

Dios says it is the world’s first jumbo （unusually large） jet hostel, an actual jet-plane at Sweden’s main airport outside Stockholm which has been changed into a 25- room guesthouse that sleeps as many as 72 people.

“I learned about this plane that was standing deserted at Arlanda airport and I’ve been trying the concept of hostels in many different houses and buildings,” he told Reuters. “I thought, ‘Why not a plane?’”

Jumbo Hostels opened for business on Thursday, giving customers the chance to check in and sleep in a room that can best be described as comfortable.”

“The most challenging part with this project is trying to build something inside a metal hull（殼） – it’s just really, really tight.”

The jet, which was originally produced for Singapore Airlines, was taken out of service in 2002. It is held on a concrete foundation with the landing gear secured in steel cradles.

One feature of the hostel is its price – a room starts at 350 Swedish crowns （about $ 41）, which is a lot less than hotel rooms outside of major airports.

Another feature is that customers can get married on the wing of the plane and stay in the plane’s more luxurious honeymoon suite （套房）.

Instead of walking down the aisle in the church, lovebirds can take what Jumbo Hostels calls the “wing walk,” where they can be joined in great happiness at the wing tip. The hostel has someone ready to perform the ceremony.

But in some respects this hostel remains a plane – most customers have to share the jet’s nine bathrooms and the staff only wear air host and hostess outfits. The only room that has its own bathroom is the honeymoon suite.

1.Which of the following is not true?

A. The jet plane was out of use for over eight years

B. The hostel provides ten bathrooms for customers

C. The rooms in the hotel are comfortable

D. The hostel lies at Arlanda airport in Stockholm

2.One of the features of the plane hostel is that .

A. air hostesses can offer good service

B. a wedding ceremony can be held on the wing

C. customers can sleep in comfortable rooms

D. the staff can have a “wing walk”

3.Why does Oscar Dios make jet plane hotel?

A. Because he is fond of plane very much.

B. Because he is very curious

C. Because he wants to earn more money.

D. Because he likes trying the concept of hotel in many different things.

4.The writer mainly wants to .

A. call on people to make use of the deserted things

B. describe a wonderful place for weddings

C. introduce a new kind of hostel

D. prove people can sleep on a plane

根據(jù)材料并結(jié)合所學(xué)知識(shí)回答問題 。（15分）

材料一 在美國(guó)憲法的制定過程中，一些政治家認(rèn)為，“人民”和“人民的代表”（國(guó)會(huì)）是不同的；“人民”高于“人民的代表”；“由人民制定、政府不能更改的”憲法高于“由政府制定、政府能夠更改的”普通法律；國(guó)會(huì)的立法如果違憲，“自然不能使之生效”。根據(jù)這些理論，最高法院有權(quán)審查國(guó)會(huì)立法和總統(tǒng)行政命令是否符合憲法。但是，1787年美國(guó)憲法沒有相關(guān)規(guī)定，即未建立起司法審查制度。在初期美國(guó)政府中，既無財(cái)權(quán)、軍權(quán)又無民意基礎(chǔ)的最高法院的地位明顯低于總統(tǒng)和國(guó)會(huì)。

——摘編自（美）漢密爾頓等《聯(lián)邦黨人文集》

材料二 1803年，最高法院對(duì)“馬伯里訴麥迪遜案”做出判決：法院不能行使憲法沒有授予的權(quán)力，國(guó)會(huì)通過的立法如果違背憲法則無效。該判例確立了最高法院有權(quán)審查國(guó)會(huì)立法或總統(tǒng)行政命令是否違憲的司法審查制度，從而使最高法院足以與國(guó)會(huì)或總統(tǒng)相制衡。

——摘編自（美）伯納德 施瓦茨《美國(guó)法律史》

（1）根據(jù)材料一并結(jié)合所學(xué)知識(shí)，概括美國(guó)創(chuàng)立司法審查制度的理論基礎(chǔ)。（7分）

（2）根據(jù)材料一、二并結(jié)合所學(xué)知識(shí)，說明“馬伯里訴麥迪遜案”對(duì)于美國(guó)民主制度的影響。（8分）

Is it possible that the sinking of the Titanic was caused by a ghost? A lot of the story below is true…but did it really happen quite like this?

Our story begins not in the icy cold waters of the North Atlantic, but rather thousands of miles away in Egypt. It is here, perhaps, that we can find the start of the mystery(謎) of the Titanic, in the year 1910, in the great city of Cairo.

One day, a famous professor of Egyptian history called Douglas Murray was staying in Cairo, when he was contacted by an American adventurer.

The American had something unusual to offer Murray, something that was certain to thrill him: a beautiful ancient Egyptian mummy case, containing the mummy of an Egyptian queen. It was over 3000 years old, but in beautiful condition —gold, with bright paintings on it. Murray was delighted with both the object and the asking-price. He gave the man a cheque immediately.

The cheque was never cashed. That evening the American adventurer died. For his part, Murray arranged to have the treasure sent back to Britain. However, it was not long before he learnt more about the beautiful mummy case: On the walls of the tomb in which it had been discovered, there were messages which warned of terrible consequences to anyone who broke into the tomb. Murray was disbelieving of these warnings until a few days later, when a gun he was holding exploded in his hand, shattering his arm. The arm had to be cut off.

After the accident, Murray decided to return to his homeland. On the return journey, two of his companions died mysteriously, and two servants who had handled the mummy also passed away. The now-terrified Murray decided he would get rid of the cursed case as soon as he arrived in London. A lady he knew named Janet Jones said she would like it, so he gave it to her. Shortly afterwards, Jones’ mother died, and she herself caught a strange disease. She tried returning the mummy, but naturally Murray refused it. In the end, it was presented to the British Museum.

Even in the museum, the mummy apparently continued to cause strange events. A museum photographer died shortly after taking pictures of the new exhibit, and a manager also died for no apparent reason. In the end, the British Museum decided to get rid of the mummy too. They sold it to a collector in New York.

At the start of April 1912, arrangements for the transfer were complete, and the mummy began the journey to its new home. But the New Yorker never received the mummy or its case. For when the Titanic sank, one of the objects in its strong-room was the mummy case. Or so they say.

1.From the passage, we know Professor Murray ________.

A. used to work for the British Museum

B. was a British professor of Egyptian history

C. didn’t believe the mummy really brought bad fortune

D. was a famous American adventurer

2.In Paragraph 6, the underlined word “cursed” is closest in meaning to

b. Janet Jones caught a mysterious illness.

c. Murray’s arm was cut off

d. The mummy case was sold to an American.

e. A man who took a picture of the case died.

f. Warnings were written on the tomb’s walls.

A. c, f, b, a, e, d B. d, f, b, c, a, e

4.According to the passage, where is the Egyptian mummy now?
