The very first capsule hotel to be opened in Shanghai has attracted many budget travelers with its prices, even though it is not fully operational yet.

The hotel consists of 68 "capsules", each 1.1-meters high, 1.1-meters wide and 2.2-meters long. The basic rate is 28 Yuan ($4.22) per person, plus an additional 4 Yuan an hour. The hotel also offers a package of 68 Yuan for 10 hours and 88 Yuan for 24 hours.

All of the capsules are imported from Japan where capsule hotels originated，and each is equipped with independent sockets, clocks, lights, TV and wireless Internet service. The hotel also has a public lavatory(洗手間)，shower room, smoking room and shared guest room.

"This is a huge bargain compared with other budget hotels in Shanghai," said Ta Zan, the owner of the hotel. Ta used to stay at capsule hotels in Tokyo during his undergraduate years and worked at a capsule hotel while he was doing his MBA in Japan in 2005, so he knows how they work and how to make guests feel comfortable.

He based the hotel on capsule hotels in Japan but he has made some special changes based on Chinese guests' habits. "In Japan capsule hotels are usually equipped with bathtubs, but in China people are more willing to take a shower, so we have the shower room," he said. He has also separated the capsules into three snoring (打鼾的) zones so that guests who often snore won't disturb others. Like most of capsule hotels in Japan, the one in Shanghai is for men only.

But the idea of staying in such a compact space is not appealing to everyone. "I feel the idea is like putting a person in a coffin (棺材), and the price is also not that appealing. A bed at a youth hostel in Shanghai costs about 60 Yuan per night," said Wang Lei, a student from Beijing.

1.The first capsule hotels in the world appeared in        .

A. Shanghai           B. Japan               C. Beijing          D. America

2.If you stay in the capsule hotel in Shanghai for 8 hours， you will have to pay       yuan.

3.What does the underlined word "compact" mean?

4.The capsule hotel in Shanghai differs from those in Japan in that           .

A. it serves men as well as women

B. its capsule is much larger

C. it has a shower room

D. it has no snoring zones

The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. _1._. There are over eighty of them scattered(分散,撒布) along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the “step” pyramid and “ Bent ”pyramid.

Some of the pyramids still look much the same as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings.__ 2.__. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever. __3._. However, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves. _4._. Nevertheless(然而), by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found, archaeologists have formed a fairly clear picture of them.

One thing is certain: there must have been months of careful planning before they could begin to build. __5.__. You may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around, but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere. Certain rules had to be followed, and certain problems had to be overcome.

       A．The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve(保護) the pyramids, and their very shape have made them less likely to fall into ruin.

       B．It is practically certain that plans were made for the building of the

pyramids because the plans of other large works have fortunately been preserved.

       C．The first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place.

       D．Consequently, we are only able to guess at the methods used.

       E．Many people were killed while building the pyramids.

       F．They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will

continue to stand for thousands of years yet.

       G．It takes workers twenty years to build the Pyramids.

“The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium(千年), was made up of three parts—“The Fellow Ship of the Ring”, “Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork.

    John Ronald Refuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien’s becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo—Saxon.

    After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I. In 1917, while recovering from trench fever he began composing the mythology for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in the 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers. The group was soon 1istening to chapters of Tolkien’s imaginative work “The Hobbit”.

    Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural(鄉(xiāng)村的)class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them，Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves(侏儒). On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.

    One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwind, to look at a draft (草稿). The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwind, thought that the best judge for a Children’s book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and “The Hobbit” was published in 1937.

    It sold so well that Unwind asked for a continuation. Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers both new and old -- after their publication.

1.What can we learn from the text?

A. “The Lord of the Rings” didn't sell well in the last millennium.

B. People know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.

C. Tolkien was quite familiar with Old English.

D. Tolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa.

2.What can we learn about "Hobbit" that Tolkien created in his works?

    A. Hobbit was a race living in English downtown areas.

    B. Hobbit was a local people who were very tall and strong.

    C. Hobbit was a social group of people who lived in old castles.

    D. Hobbit was a group of people who were mostly dwarves.

3. Which of the following helped most in making “The Hobbit” published?

    A. One of Tolkien's students.           B. Stanley Unwind's son.

    C. Allen & Unwind.                  D. Bilbo Baggins.

4.What is mainly discussed in the text?

    A. “The Lord of the Rings” and its writer.

    B. A completely new masterwork in the new millennium.

    C. A famous professor at Oxford University.

    D. The power of the magic ring.

5. Which of the following shows the right order of Mr. Tolkien's life experience?

    a. He had his “The Hobbit” published.

    b. He became a member of the Inklings.

    c. He served in World War I.

    d. He became an undergraduate at Oxford.

    e. His work “The Lord of the Rings” came to the world.

    f. He moved to England to live with his aunt.

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

C. f-c-d-b-e-a                         D.d-f-c-a-b-e
