Question

When you visit America, you will see the word Motel on signs and notice boards. It is made up of “motor” and “hotel” and it is really a hotel for people who arrive by car (how-ever, you don’t need a car to stay at one). You have to pay when you arrive for your room, which usually has a bath. Meals are not provided, but there will certainly be a cafeteria (自助餐館). Americans eat a lot of salads and sandwiches. Along the main roads there are a lot of motels. Each tries to offer more than next. Some provide television in every bedroom; others have swimming pools; and so on. Motels are especially useful when you are in the country, far from a town or city. You will also find them in the big National Parks.
In these great National Parks, you may meet guests you don’t expect to see. An American friend told me a little story. In the middle of a moonless night she heard strange noises outside her motel window in the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Thinking it might be a thief, she jumped out of bed, opened the door and crept towards a dark shadow. As she got close, she saw the thief. She was dreadfully frightened: it wasn’t a human thief — it was a big black bear. The bear was turning over some empty tins with its paw, looking for tasty bits of food. My friend decided to leave that particular thief alone!
There are also, of course, places called “rooming houses”,  where they receive lodgers (房客). You will see such signs as Tourists or Rooms Rent, and you could try one of these. A word of warning — looking for a room in New York during the tourist season is like looking for gold on the moon!

試題分析：本文介紹了美國一種叫Motel的旅館，這種旅館為那些自駕出行的游客提供了方便，它們有的臥室配有電視，有的有游泳池，但是卻不提供飯菜。此外，作者在文中還提到了一種叫Roomhouses可以提供住宿的地方。
1.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段It is made up of “motor” and “hotel” and it is really a hotel for people who arrive by car可知Motel一詞是由兩個單詞合成的，所以D選項正確。
2.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章首段中提到Meals are not provided, but there will certainly be a cafeteria，由此可知D為正確選項。
3.A詞意猜測題。在文章第二段作者講述那位美國朋友半夜聽到窗外有動靜，認(rèn)為是賊，從當(dāng)時的情景可以推測她應(yīng)該是躡手躡腳的走過去看看究竟，所以判斷A選項正確。
4.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。作者在文章最后一段提到A word of warning — looking for a room in New York during the tourist season is like looking for gold on the moon!“在旅游旺季的紐約找個房間就像在月球上找金子一樣”，由此可以推斷在旅游旺季時在紐約找旅館很難，所以C為正確選項。
