    请阅读下面短文。根据短文内容从下面方框内的六个选项中，选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。

    A few of years ago, I went to Australia for a meeting with my friend, Chris. We decided to drive across country to Brisbane after the meeting ended(结束). The drive was going to take four days and most of it was across the desert（沙漠）,    1   

    The first day was a lot of fun as we were excited and laughing at each other's stupid（愚蠢的） jokes. By the third day of driving in the seemingly endless（无边的） desert, we began to get bored. We had been quiet for a few hours when in the distance（在远处） Chris found some kangaroos（袋鼠）. We were both excited and decided to get a closer（更近） look.  2  .We got closer and closer, and Chris was doing 110 kilometers per(每) hour. We were very close to the kangaroos—too close—when we heard a loud BANG!

    Chris stopped the car and we got out. Behind the car was a larger kangaroo lying completely still on the ground.   3  He took off his sunglasses and put them on the kangaroo and did the same with his jacket. Then, he put his arm around the kangaroo and told me to take a photo of them together.  4  While I was focusing（聚焦） the camera, I saw the kangaroo move. It suddenly woke up（醒来）, looked at Chris, and jumped away into the distance before we could do anything.

    I started laughing（笑） but Chris looked very serious（严肃）.   5   I started laughing even harder(更厉害). I stopped laughing, however, when he said that our car keys were also in the jacket!

    A. Chris speeded up（加速） to catch up with the kangaroos.

    B. He said his wallet and passport（护照） were in the jacket.

    C. In order to （为了）get there in three days, we drove very fast.

    D. so we had to take food, water, and extra (额外的)gas with us.

    E(AB). Chris went over to the kangaroo and put his baseball cap on its head.

    F(CD). I was still surprised, but I took out my camera.

    根据短文内容，从每小题A、B、C三个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

    There are many unusual hotels around the world. In Greenland, there is a hotel made out of ice, open between April and December every year. In Turkey, there is a cave hotel with a television, furniture, and a bathroom in each room. And in Bolivia, 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.

        The larger of the two deserts, the Uyuni salt desert, is 12,000 square kilometers. 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 (块) 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, the tables, the chairs, the beds, and the hotel’s bar.

        The sun heats the walls and roof during the day. At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms stay warm. The hotel has 12 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 the walls－it doesn’t taste good!”

    1.People can go to __________ to visit the ice hotel in April.

       A. Greenland             B. Turkey               C. Bolivia

    2.The Salt Palace Hotel is unusual because __________.

       A. it has a long history        

    B. it’s made out of salt      

    C. the rooms stay cold all day

    3.Where did the salt used for the hotel come from?

       A. A salt factory.           B. The desert.              C. The lakes.

    4.The underlined word “lick” means __________ in Chinese.

       A. 摸                        B. 踢                   C. 舔

    5.The best title for the passage is _________.

    A. Unusual Hotels           B. Salt Desert              C. A Story of Juan Quesad
