新闻报道型阅读理解

BARCELONA (Reuters)—“Galactic Suite”， the first hotel planned in space, expects to open for business in 2012 and would allow guests to travel around the world in 80 minutes.

Its architects say the space hotel will be the most expensive in the galaxy(银河系), costing $4 million for a three-day stay.

During that time guests would see the sunrise 15 times a day and use Velcro suits to crawl around their pod rooms by sticking themselves to the walls like Spiderman.

Company director Xavier Claramunt says the three-bedroom hotel’s joined up pod structure，which makes it look like a model of molecules, was dictated by the fact that each pod room had to fit inside a rocket to be taken into space.

“It’s the bathrooms in zero gravity that are the biggest challenge，” says Claramunt, “How to accommodate the more private activities of the guests is not easy.”

But they may have solved the issue of how to take a shower in weightlessness—the guests will enter a spa room in which babbles of water will float around.

When guests are not admiring the view from their portholes(舷窗), they will take part in scientific experiments on space travel.

“There is fear associated with going into space，” said Claramunt.“That’s why the shuttle rocket will remain fixed to the space hotel for the duration of the guests’ stay, so they know they can get home again.”

In an era of concern over climate change, Galaxy Suite have no plans so far to offset the pollution problems of sending a rocket to carry just six guests at a time into space.

“But，” says Claramunt, “I’m hopeful that the impact of seeing the earth from a distance will stimulate the guests’ urge to value and protect our planet.”

【解析】 本文为新闻，主要报道了建太空旅馆的情况。

1．B 文章大意题。本文主要报道了建太空旅馆的情况。这是一个事实而不是梦想，故可排除C和D。 2．D 细节理解题。由第三段During that time guests would see the sunrise 15 times a day可知A项正确；由第六段take a shower in weightlessness—the guests will enter a spa room in which babbles of water will float around可知B项正确；由第七段they will take part in scientific experiments on space travel可知C项正确。D在文中没有提及。

3．B 段落大意题。由最后一段Claramunt所说的话可知，他主要讲了从太空看地球对保护地球环境的作用，故B项正确。

4．C 推理判断题。三天游花费四百万美元的确很贵，如体验太空游，当然需要先解决资金问题，其次，第六段提到they may have solved the issue of how to take a shower in weightlessness，即失重问题；第八段提到There is fear associated with going into space，即恐惧感，污染问题是地球上的问题，由此知选项C正确。

5．D 推理判断题。本文是一篇新闻报道，主要报道了太空旅馆即将在2012年建成的消息，故D正确。
