(2017·西安高三检测)The 1920s was a decade of wealth，decadence (堕落) and social change.They were known as the Roaring Twenties，and the best place to experience this exciting time was New York City.But what was it really like?
Prohibition
In 1919，a new law in the US known as Prohibition made it illegal to buy and sell alcohol.But Prohibition didn't stop people drinking；it just drove the sale of strong alcoholic drink underground.Bootleggers(走私贩) waited off the coast of New York after dark and brought illegal alcohol into the city.
Jazz
Jazz was the music of New York in the 1920s.In fact，the decade is called Jazz Age.The best place to listen to this new form of music was the Cotton Club in Harlem.All the great jazz musicians played at the Cotton Club，including Louis Armstrong，Dizzy Gillespie and Duke Ellington.Also，in 1924 George Gershwin composed the jazz­influenced Rhapsody in Blue.The piece has been called “a musical portrait of New York” and was used by Woody Allen in his film Manhattan.
Art Deco
Art Deco was the most popular style of the 1920s，with bright colors and geometric designs；it can be seen in the art，architecture and inside designs of the period.New York is full of Art Deco buildings，but the most famous ones are the Chrysler Building (built between 1928 and 1930) and the Empire State Building (built between 1930 and 1931)．
The Great Depression
On 29th October，1929，the Roaring Twenties came to a dramatic end.On that day(known as “Black Tuesday”)，the US stock market crashed，causing the Great Depression.The economic downturn lasted ten years and affected most of the Western world.Unemployment in America reached 25% and the country didn't recover until after World War Ⅱ.

(2017·石家庄高三调研)All hotels are restored periodically.However，few do it as frequently as Sweden's Icehotel.Located in a remote village of Sweden，the hotel is constructed entirely from ice and therefore，has to be rebuilt annually.
The 26­year­old tradition began accidentally in 1989 when locals organized an art exhibition to attract winter visitors.Among the tourists was an adventurous group that announced their intention of spending the night in the building where the exhibition was being held.That's when the idea of building the icy accommodations occurred to the locals.
Each year，the preparations begin in March and the construction starts in November.Within eight to twelve weeks，Icehotel is ready to welcome its first visitors until mid­April.After that，the beautiful structure will slowly melt into one giant pool.
Among this year's unique suite (套房) offerings is the “Elephant in the Room”．It features a 3­metre tall sculpted elephant overlooking an ice­framed bed.For those seeking something more cutting­edge，there are ones themed after a Swedish horror film and local fairy tales.To get a good night's rest，guests have to snuggle inside their sleeping bags with gloves and hats on.Though that seems a little uncomfortable，visitors say it is an experience like none other.
The hotel also features a beautifully crafted ice church where over 100 couples will get married this year and an ice bar that will serve drinks in glasses carved
from ice.Though dining options are limited to the hotel's only restaurant，guests will have little to complain about with Michelin­trained chef Alexander Meier in charge.To keep customers entertained，the hotel offers a lot of fun activities like snowshoeing，dog sledding，and even overnight wilderness camping.
