解析:

【語篇解讀】本文是應(yīng)用文，是一則網(wǎng)站廣告，文章介紹了幾個不同風(fēng)格的飯店，以及他們的特色，入住價格等相關(guān)問題。

【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干找到第一則廣告，本廣告的首句就是該飯店的特色，let you sleep in a tree是多數(shù)人想不到的，而迅速瀏覽下兩則廣告會發(fā)現(xiàn)睡在樹上的確是Ariau Amazon Towers的特色。

【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題�？梢匝杆贋g覽三則廣告的Price這一欄，會發(fā)現(xiàn)在Propeller Island所需要的價格是一個人$91，再加一個人的話只需附加$20也就是兩人只需$111。第一則廣告兩個人需要$ 600，第二則廣告兩個人需要$ 636，所以答案選A項。

【小題3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)題干迅速瀏覽三則廣告，看是否有所要求的there exists a hotel under the sea，看這三個廣告的特色部分都沒有提及，在文章末尾說到了for more information about other cool hotels on the world，給出了D項的網(wǎng)址，也就是想了解更多有其他的特色的飯店時應(yīng)該登陸D項所給出的網(wǎng)址。

【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。在第二則廣告的第二句的Each year, world-famous artists are invited to design and produce works of art from ……可知The Ice Hotel 會每年邀請一些知名藝術(shù)家為該飯店設(shè)計并制作藝術(shù)作品，所以答案選C。

Consumer electronics once again topped the list of the most wanted gifts this holiday season.

“Seventy-six percent of consumers who plan to buy holiday gifts say that they will spend money or buy at least one technology product; definitely a solid vote of confidence for technology.”

Steve Koenig is with the Consumer Electronics Association. He says the group’s latest research also shows that Americans this year are spending more on technology products. “Here in 2012, $252 on average——the technology spend for consumers this year.”

From tablet computers to smart phones, American shoppers have been lining up to get the newest and coolest electronic devices on the market. There are more choices today than ever before. "It's kind of hard to make a decision."

Tablet computers are one of the best-selling products this year. Brian Tong is Senior Editor of CNET.com. The website reports on tech news and examines the latest electronic products. He says the Apple iPad Mini is one of the most popular tablets. Its starting price is $329. One of Apple’s biggest competitors is the Google Nexus 7. It starts at $199.

“Its hardware is more powerful than what’s in the iPad Mini, but also it offers you a lot of things like maps that work better than Apple’s maps.

But Brian Tong says there is one reason why people may like the iPad Mini more than the Nexus 7. “If you just want to read books and surf the Internet, you don’t really need to get an iPad Mini, but if you want the largest robust group of apps (應(yīng)用軟件) that’s where the iPad and Apple’s ecosystem shines the most.”

Elman Chacon is with the electronics store Best Buy. He says another hot product this season is smart cameras. They connect to the Internet through WiFi. This makes it easy for users to email or upload photographs directly from the camera.

“You can literally take a picture and upload it into your Facebook in a matter of seconds. These things are pretty cool because they do a lot of things.”

Streaming media boxes also connect to the Internet. People are able to watch web content such as movies and YouTube videos on their televisions. Another popular item is wireless speaker systems. The newest ones work with any device that has Bluetooth technology, including smart phones, laptops and tablets.

1.What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?

A．Every technology product costs an average of $252.

B．Consumers are spending $252 more on technology products than last year.

C．Consumers should spend $252 on their technology products.

D．It is estimated that $252 on average might be spent on electronics by consumers in 2012.

2.According to Brian Tong, why may people prefer the iPad Mini to the Google Nexus 7?

A．Because it is cheaper.

B．Because it has more functions.

C．Because you can read books and surf the Internet with it.

D．Because it offers you a lot of things like maps that work better than Apple’s maps.

3.What does “Its hardware” in Paragraph 6 refer to?

A．The hardware of tablet computers.

B．The hardware of the Apple iPad.

C．The hardware of the Google Nexus 7.

D．The hardware of the iPad Mini.

4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．People will spend most of their money on electronics.

B．Photos can be uploaded from the camera when connected to a computer.

C．A streaming media box is a box which can contain CDs.

D．Most people would like to buy electronics as gifts.

5.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

A．Electronics: People’s Most Favorite Gifts this year

B．Which is More Popular, the Apple iPad Mini or the Google Nexus 7?

C．Latest Technology Products

D．More Electronics to Choose from
