(2013·高考北京卷，A)We all know that the cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget.Now millions of people are saving on their heating bills with the EP portable heater.With over one million satisfied customers around the world，the new EP heats better and faster，saves more on heating bills，and runs almost silent.

The EP has no exposed heating parts that can cause a fire.The outside of the EP only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets.
The EP will not reduce oxygen in the room.With other heaters，you’ll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen.
The advanced EP also heats the room evenly，wall to wall and floor to ceiling.It comfortably covers an area up to 350 square feet.Other heaters heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated to the center of the room.And they only heat an area a few feet around the heater.With the EP，the temperature will not vary in any part of the room.
The EP comes with a 3­year warranty (保修) and a 60­day，no questions asked，satisfaction guarantee.If you are not totally satisfied，return it at our expense and your money will be given back to you.
Now we have a special offer for 10 days，during which you can enjoy a half price discount and a free delivery.If you order after that，we reserve the right to either accept or reject order requests at the discounted price.

本文是一篇說明文，屬于廣告文體，介紹了一種新型的便攜式暖風機。與其他的暖風機相比較，它有很多優(yōu)點，寫這篇文章的目的是讓讀者買他們的產(chǎn)品。
小題1:解析：選B。主旨大意題。本題考查考生整體把握、提煉信息、概括部總結(jié)段落大意的能力。A項“EP暖風機的熱量”；B項“EP暖風機的安全”；C項“EP暖風機的外表”；D項“EP暖風機的材料”。由第二段的內(nèi)容可知，這種暖風機不會引起火災，不會燙傷孩子和寵物，顯然是在講它的安全性，故正確答案為B項。
小題2:解析：選A。細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段第一句話The EP will not reduce oxygen in the room.可知，這種EP暖風機是不會降低室內(nèi)的氧氣含量的，就是說該暖風機不消耗氧氣，故正確答案為A項。
小題3:解析：選D。詞義猜測題。由文章第四段可知，此處把EP暖風機與其他的類似產(chǎn)品相比較，這種暖風機能夠把墻、門、天花板都加熱，不像以前的產(chǎn)品，只加熱附近小片區(qū)域，因此該詞義為“均勻地，平等地”，故D項正確。
小題4:解析：選A。推理判斷題。A項“說服人們買該產(chǎn)品”；B項“建議人們節(jié)省加熱的錢”；C項“報道便攜式暖風機的最新發(fā)展”；D項“比較不同品牌暖風機的性能”。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，本文為廣告文體，向大家介紹了一種新型的暖風機，與其他的暖風機相比，它有自己的優(yōu)點，其目的是讓讀者買他們的產(chǎn)品，因此A項正確。

Below is a selection about interesting hotels.
Tayka Hotel de Sal
Where: Tahua, Bolivia
How much: About $95 a night
Why it’s cool: You’ve stayed at hotels made of brick or wood, but salt? That’s something few can claim. Tayka Hotel de Sal is made totally of salt – including the beds (though you’ll sleep on regular mattresses（床墊）and blankets). The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni, a prehistoric dried-up lake, which is the world’s biggest salt flat. Builders use the salt from the 4,633-square-mile flat to make the bricks, and glue them together with a paste（糊）of wet salt that hardens when it dries. When there is big rain, the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks.
Green Magic Nature Resort
Where: Vythiri, India
How much: About $240 a night
Why it’s cool: Taking a pulley（滑輪）-operated lift 86 feet to your treetop room is just the start of your adventure. As you look out of your open window – there is no glass! – you watch monkey and birds in the rain forest canopy（罩棚）. Later you might test your fear of heights by crossing the handmade rope bridge to the main part of the hotel, or just sit on your bamboo bed and read. You don’t even have to come down for breakfast – the hotel will send it up on the pulley-drawn “elevator”.
Dog Bark Park Inn B&B
Where: Cottonwood, Idaho
How much: $92 a night
Why it’s cool: This doghouse isn’t just for the family pet. Sweet Willy is a 30-foot-tall dog with guest rooms in his belly. Climb the wooden stairs beside his hind leg to enter the door in his side. You can relax in the main bedroom, go up a few steps of the loft（閣樓）in Willy’s head, or hang out inside his nose. Although you have a full private bathroom in your quarters, there is also a toilet in the 12-foot-tall fire hydrant（消防栓）outside.
Gamirasu Cave Hotel
Where: Ayvali, Turkey
How much: Between $130 and $475 a night
Why it’s cool: This is caveman cool! Experience what it was like 5,000 years ago, when people lived in these mountain caves formed by volcanic ash. But your stay will be much more modern. Bathrooms and electricity provide what you expect from a modern hotel, and the white volcanic ash, called tufa, keeps the rooms cool, about 65·F in summer. (Don’t worry – there is heat in winter.)
小題1:What is the similarity of the four hotels?
A．Being expensive.B．Being comfortable.
C．Being natural.D．Being unique.
小題2:What does the underlined words “Sweet Willy” refer to?
A．The name of a doghouse.
B．The name of the hotel owner.
C．The building of Dog Bark Park Inn B&B
D．The name of the hotel owner’s pet dog.
小題3:Which of the hotels gives you a feeling of living in the far past?
A. Tayka Hotel de Sal.                  B. Green Magic Nature Resort.
C. Dog Bark Park Inn B&B.               D. Gamirasu Cave Hotel.
