Are you the kind of person who likes staying in unusual places? If the answer is "yes", then try the world’s coldest hotel in Jukkasjarvi in the north of Sweden. But go in winter or all you’ll find is a pool of water, because the hotel melts every spring!
The man who runs the Attic Hall Hotel is Nils Yngve Bergqvist. He built his first ice building for an art exhibition in 1991 and he designed the present hotel—over 200 meters square—himself. It took workmen about two months to pile 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base. As the weather got colder, the snow froze and then they removed the base. The whole building and everything in it are made of snow—except for the wooden front door. There’s a theatre which Nils uses for a jazz club, a radio station and a large ice bar. As you can imagine, hot drinks are popular with the guests! The rooms have no doors; there’s no furniture, no heating and everyone sleeps on ice beds. But the 800 people who stayed at the hotel this winter seemed to like it. If you want to stay in one of the ten ice rooms, it will cost you about £30 a night. You will receive a survival certificate from the manager.
When the winter’s over, Nils holds his annual contest to predict the day that the hotel will fall. The person that guessed the day correctly last year receives a large painting from an ARTic Hall exhibition. Nils’s ice hotel is becoming world-famous and he loves his work.. He’s already excited about his next project — an ice hotel that will have more complicated architectural features and, he says, will be bigger and better.
According to the passage, the following can describe Nils Yngve Bergqvist EXCEPT______.
选项
A、creative
B、unrealistic
C、ambitious
D、committed
答案
B
解析
推理题。用雪建造旅馆表明Nils Yngve Bergqvist有创造力,且旅馆已经建成投入使用,说明他并不是一个不切实际的人(B错),另外由文章最后一段中he loves his work及最后一句“他要用雪建造一个更大更好的、结构更复杂的旅馆”可知C、D两项描述正确。所以答案为B。
