*Ⅱ. 完形填空
Many people use email to municate with each other. If you can surf the Internet, it is a great 21 to send messages easily, quickly and as often as you like. No 22 is it necessary to find a pen or paper, not to 23 an envelope or stamp.
Are we missing anything by not writing paper letters to people? Must you take the 24 of writing them if you want to receive such letters? Most people would probably answer, “No, it is a waste of paper 25 , and this is a much better system.” It is hard to be against such a viewpoint. However, I would like to try.
I believe that the kinds of letters people 26 to write were probably more 27 than billions of emails sent today. Of course, when it 28 to sending quick messages, email is the best. If 29 is important, email is particularly useful. 30 , if you want really to touch someone, a letter is more personal.
31 letters are the most personal. If you can type fast, you can put a lot into
a letter, but it lacks(缺少) the special sense that es from seeing the handwriting. As long as it is understandable, it doesn’t matter how tidy it is. When someone sits down and just writes to you, you will 32 that when you are reading it.
Though I’m a teenager, I admit that I too feel 33 to receive a letter in the mail. I love seeing my name written by hand on 34 . You make yourself a cup of coffee, sit down in a fortable place, open your letter , and enjoy everything that the person puts into those words just for you. What a gift!
21. A. chance B. way C. fun D. time
22. A. longer B. much C. less D. important
23. A. say B. speak C. talk D. mention
24. A. question B. trouble C. pleasure D. problem
25. A. anyway B. too C. simply D. just
26. A. needed B. used C. got D. agreed
27. A. important B. useful C. helpful D. meaningful
28. A. runs B. leads C. es D. arrives
29. A. money B. meaning C. feeling D. time
30. A. However B. So C. Therefore D. But
31. A. Long B. Typed C. Handwritten D. Short
32. A. feel B. love C. want D. like
33. A. excited B. disappointed C. puzzled D. surprised

A
There are many unusual hotels around the world. In Greenland, there is a hotel made out of ice, open between December and April every year. In Turkey, there is a cave hotel with a television, furniture, and a bathroom in each room. And in Bolivia(玻利维亚—南美洲西部国家), there is the Salt Palace Hotel.
Thousands of years ago, the area around the Salt Palace Hotel was a large lake. But over time, all the water disappeared. Today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts.
Uyuni salt desert
The larger of the two deserts, the Uyuni, is 12,000 square kilometres. During the day, the desert is bright white because of the salt. There are no roads across the Uyuni desert, so local people must show guests the way to the hotel.
In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel. He cut big blocks of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it. Everything in the hotel is made out of salt: the walls, the roof(屋顶), the tables, the chairs, the beds, and the hotel’s bar.
The sun heats（使变热） the walls and roof during the day. At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms stay warm. The hotel has twelve rooms. A single room costs $40 a night, and a double room costs $60.
A sign on the hotel’s wall tells guests, “ Please don’t lick（舔）the walls.”
(注: Uyuni is a town in the south of Bolivia.)

A. It was a lake many years ago.
B. It is white during the day.
C. There are several roads to the hotel.
D. It is more than 10,000 square kilometers.
37. Where did the salt used for the hotel e from?
A. a salt factory
B. the ground

D. the walls of the hotel
38. What keeps the rooms warm at night?
