Question

Mr and Mrs Smith had always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey ( 新澤西) in the past, staying in a small inn(旅店）at the foot of the hill.

One year, however, Mr Smith made a lot of money in his business, so they decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went touring around the famous city.

They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They had expected that they would have to go to bed hungry, because in that small inn in New Jersey, no meals were served after seven. They were surprised when the waiter asked whether they would take dinner there that night. “ Are you still serving dinner?” asked Mr Smith. “ Yes, certainly, sir,” answered the waiter. “ We serve it until half past nine.”

“ What are the time of the meals then?” asked Mr Smith. “ Well, sir, We serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning, lunch from twelve to three in the afternoon, tea from four to five, and dinner from six to half past nine.” answered the waiter.

“ But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sights of London.” said Mr Smith.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要講述斯密斯先生做生意掙了很多錢，他們夫婦倆決定去倫敦度假并入住一個像樣的酒店。他們很晚才到達酒店，本以為要挨餓睡覺了，孰料服務(wù)員問他們是否要吃晚飯，服務(wù)員還把一天的用餐時間告訴了他們。斯密斯聽后發(fā)覺這樣的安排令他們幾乎沒有時間看倫敦的風(fēng)景。

1.Mr and Mrs Smith had always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey ( 新澤西) in the past的描述可知，斯密斯夫婦倆在掙到錢之前經(jīng)常到新澤西度假。故選C。

2. flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening的描述可知，斯密斯夫婦倆是坐飛機去倫敦的。故選B。
