死亡时，她还用一种特殊的姿势保护着孩子。

根据关键词strange 以及后句所叙述的姿势可判断选择pose，要注意C项的干扰，这里指的是身体。

根据语境，选项C

根据语境，救援队人员移走废墟堆积物。

16．A.slept B．wrapped
C．hugged D．attached
解析：选B在母亲的尸体下有一个三个月大的婴儿被一块花布毯子包裹着。

sleep睡觉，没有被动用法；wrap用……包裹起来，是及物动词，可用被动语态；hug拥抱，不合语境；attach使附属，语义不合语境。

所以选项B为正确答案。

17．A.Eventually B．Frankly
C．Obviously D．Finally
解析：选C eventually最后，终于；frankly率直地，坦白地；obviously很明显，明显地；finally最后。

根据语境与逻辑，很明显，这个妇女做出了最后的牺牲来挽救她的孩子。

本题主要根据上文的这个妇女的姿势来做出的推测，而选项中的干扰项主要是A和D项，认为是事件的结束时的场景，却忽略了在此叙述的是面前的景象。

18．A.protect B．prevent
C．provide D．excuse
解析：选A protect保护；prevent阻止；provide提供；excuse原谅，宽恕。

根据上下文可知，当房子塌的时候，她用自己的身体作遮盖来保护孩子。

C．blanket D．wardrobe
解析：选C第五段第2句“...in a flowery blanket under his mother’s dead body”对下文有明确的提示。

20．A.screen B．paper

[语篇解读]文章介绍了瑞典商人修建的冰屋旅馆的一些细节。

1．解析：Built考查非谓语动词。

句中it指the world’s first igloo hotel和动词build是被动关系，指旅馆被建用过去分词表被动语态，故填Built。

2．解析：will be考查时态。

根据时间状语In two weeks’time表将来指两周后，所以动词用将来时，故填will be。

3．解析：replacing考查动词形式。

look forward to中的to是介词后面加动词的-ing形式做宾语，故填replacing。

4．解析：so考查副词。

句中包含so...that句型表示“如此…以至于”，此处指如此成功以至于他设计了现在的冰屋，故填so。

5．解析：which考查关系代词。

此处是非限制性定语从句修饰前面的the present one 用which引导，故填which。

6．解析：was removed考查时态语态。

当雪冻结后底座就被移开。

本段是过去时且the base和remove是被动关系，用过去时的被动。

故填was removed。

7．解析：With考查介词。

此处指冰屋没有窗户，with表示“有”，故填With。

8．解析：than考查连词。

此处指住在冰屋不像是在放松的旅馆休息更像是生存测试。

more...than“更像是”，故填than。

9．解析：well考查固定短语。

as well as“也”是固定短语，此处指也是生存训练好的开始。

故填well。

10．解析：popularity考查名词。

此处由The和of限定用名词，指冰屋的受欢迎度超过了对它的怀疑。

故填名词popularity。

Ⅳ.短文改错
文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。

Dear Peter，
I’m glad to receive your e­mail in which yo u asked me to tell you my opinions about the news.Nowadays，more and more people are addicted to their phones all day，not only including the young people，but also the elderly.It can be seen anywhere such as in subways，restaurants，elevators and so on.They would rather spend lots of time in watching their mobile phones than read books.
I think we should read more books in our spare time.Reading can broaden our horizons.When we read books，we have the opportunity to learn the knowledge of many aspects such as biography，science，technology，culture，economy and so on.What’s more，the beautiful things described in the books can make us feel relaxed and our life enriched.
Yours，
Li Hua。
