推理判斷題。根據(jù)Longer lines at security checkpoints中的Procedural changes at TSA checkpoints throughout the United States may result in longer lines at security checkpoints. Please plan accordingly and allow for extra time at the airport.可知，全美運輸安全管理局安檢處程序的變化可能會導致安檢處的隊伍變長。請做出相應地計劃并留出在機場的額外時間。由此可知，在美國，通過安全檢查通常需要較長的時間。故選C。

【3】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Notice for flights departing the European Union, Norway and Switzerland中的if you are not allowed to board or if your flight is canceled or delayed for at least two hours, ask at the check-in counter or boarding gate for the form, stating your rights, particularly about compensation and assistance.可知，如果你不被允許登機，或者你的航班被取消或延誤了至少兩個小時，向登記柜臺或登機門索要表格，說明你的權(quán)利，特別是關于賠償和幫助的權(quán)利。由此可知，當乘客的航班延誤至少兩小時時，可以要求賠償。故選C。

【4】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)How to protect yourself中的The CDC recommends visitors to areas with Zika wear long-sleeved clothing, apply mosquito repellant, and use a mosquito net at night.可知，美國疾病控制與預防中心建議前往寨卡疫區(qū)的游客穿長袖服裝，使用驅(qū)蚊劑，夜間使用蚊帳。結(jié)合選項可知，D項Setting a mosquito net before going to sleep.(睡覺前搭一個蚊帳)與原文相符。故選 D。
