单选题

Does it seem like hotel costs just go up and up? It's true that they rise each year. Rates for rooms in 2019 are over 15% more than 2018. Here are some tips to help you make the best decision.
Look for extras.
    The more services your rate includes, the more you can save your money. Make sure you use the facilities you will actually need, or you'll spend more than you need to. Common extras that can save you a lot are free breakfast, free Wi-Fi, and kids eat free. So take advantage of them during your stay.
Stay in hotels right outside the city center.
    If the costs for transportation won't be high, you can frequently get a good deal this way. You could also look into staying in the university district of a city. Hotels are more affordable (廉价的), cheap eating places are plentiful (充足的) and public transportation is convenient.
Go out to eat.
    Though room service sounds really great, prices for food on the hotel menu can be twice as much as you would pay for the same food at a restaurant.

1.  What is TRUE of hotels according to the first paragraph? ______
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】 事实细节题。本题问根据第一段的内容，有关酒店的正确说法。根据题干中的first paragraph可查找第一段。该段提到，酒店价格每年都在涨(they rise each year)。B项Hotel costs increase year by year(酒店价格逐年上涨)为正确答案。
   A项More hotels are to be built soon(不久后将建起更多酒店)和C项Hotels are in great demand today(酒店当前的需求量很大)均未在原文中提及。文章中提到，2019年与2018年对比，酒店价格上涨超过15%，并非每年超15%，由此可排除D项Hotel costs rise over 15% each year(酒店价格每年上涨幅度超过15%)。
[参考译文] 酒店价格似乎越来越贵了?的确如此，它们每年都在涨价。相比2018年，2019年的房价涨了15%。这里有一些建议可以帮助你做出最佳决定。
寻找附加服务。
   你的费用中包含的服务越多，你就可以节省越多的钱。确保你能使用的设施是自身真正有需要的，否则很容易超出需要花的钱。常见的可以帮你节省很多钱的附加服务有：免费早餐、免费Wi-Fi和儿童免费用餐。因此，酒店住宿期间要充分利用好这些服务。住市中心以外的酒店。

出去吃饭。
   客房服务虽然听起来很棒，但同样的食物，酒店菜单价格可能是外面餐厅菜单上价格的两倍。
