Question

A staycation is a vacation when you do not travel at all. Some people use a staycation to just stay at home, and others prefer to experience the attractions around them without traveling very far.
There are many choices for staycations. Any town or city has plenty of choices for things to do if you know where to look. If the weather is nice, you can visit the local gardens or forests for a hike. You can look online for several historic places and create your own history tours. Of course, you can also visit other attractions in the areas like museums, restaurants, bars, parks, beaches, and so on. Often, if you drive just a few hours, you can find a city that you can walk around and see. Then by driving home you can save the cost of a hotel and a plane ride.
Others take the term “staycation” word for word and do not leave their houses at all. Some choices for this can include taking time off to cook a great meal and enjoy it together or spending all day at a pool.
Just as a coin has two sides, staycation has its advantages as well as disadvantages.
Since you are not traveling or staying in a hotel, a staycation can be unbelievably costeffective（低成本的）. You don’t have to pay for a hotel, so that cost has been completely eliminated. You are also saving by not driving very far and by not taking an airplane anywhere. Travel costs have become really high, and the farther you go, the higher they are. By staying close to home, you cut that cost by quite a bit. You are also pushing money back into your local economy（經(jīng)濟(jì)）by spending your money at local businesses rather than in cities that are far away from home.  Finally, any stress that you feel with travel, whether that is from driving long distances or looking for an airport, will completely disappear.

解析試題分析：知本文主要是介紹一種新型的度假方式staycation并詳細(xì)介紹了這種度假方式的優(yōu)勢(shì)和好處。
【小題1】A 主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章的主題段第一段可知本文主要是介紹一種新型的度假方式staycation并詳細(xì)介紹了這種度假方式的優(yōu)勢(shì)和好處，故A正確。
【小題2】D 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章最后三行Finally, any stress that you feel with travel, whether that is from driving long distances or looking for an airport, will completely disappear.說(shuō)明staycation讓我們沒有一點(diǎn)壓力，故D正確。
【小題3】B 推理題。根據(jù)本句You don’t have to pay for a hotel, so that cost has been completely eliminated.你不必去付賓館的錢，所以這個(gè)費(fèi)用完全被去除了，故該詞是B項(xiàng)的意思。故B正確。
【小題4】B 推理題。根據(jù)最后一段第一行ust as a coin has two sides, staycation has its advantages as well as disadvantages.提出了staycation有好有壞，在最后一段里只是提出了staycation的好處，那么接下來(lái)最可能的就是講述它的壞處，故B正確。
