　　1. A。由文中第1句 Holidaymakers who are bored withbaking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head fora big igloo. (那些對在沙灘上曬太陽或對過熱的旅店房間感到厭倦的度假人現在去雪屋度假)可以推斷人們總是喜歡新鮮事物，應選 A。

　　4. D。由文中第四段第一句話 After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recordingtheir success.(所有的來訪者在離開之前都可得到一張記載他們在此生存成功的證書)。
