问题    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.
What would be the best title for the passage?
选项 A、Winter Exhibition.
B、Winter Entertainment.
C、Nils—a Hotel Manager.
D、Cold Comfort.
答案D
解析 主旨题。本文主要介绍的是世界上最冷的旅馆，用Cold Comfort作为标题，既用了押头韵修辞手法，又简洁、突出、新颖，cold涵盖了旅馆是由冰做成的，comfort体现了旅店的人性化，很好地体现标题的醒目性，起到引人入胜的效果。
